Applies to:
SAP BI 2004s or SAP BI 7.x
Summary
This Document describes benefit from the features of the concepts of SAP BI 7.x while working with an existing data model. While upgrading systems, Data Flow doesnt migrate with the system automatically so Data flow Migration need to be done separately.

Introduction
In SAP NetWeaver 2004s or SAP BW 7.x , new concepts and technologies are available in the Data Warehousing Workbench for process design and modeling the data flow. The existing concepts and technologies (3.x DataSource, 3.x transfer and update rules, 3.x InfoSource) are still supported. Objects belonging to these concepts and technologies are now referred to as 3.x objects. The data flow concept of SAP BW 3.5 has been completely revised in SAP BW 7.x .Thus, InfoSource have become optional objects; update and transfer rules have been combined into transformations; and the data transfer process has been redeveloped to provide an improved error-handling Functionality. If you want to benefit from the features of the new concepts while working with an existing data model, Migration of data model has recommended.
Difference between 3.x data flow and 7.x Data Flow

There is enhanced Process design and modeling capabalities in 7.x data model design. 3.x Data model Consider following diagram
Data will get loaded by transfer rules and update rules. By info Package data can directly load in data target. Update rules connect an InfoSource to a data target ( InfoCube , ODS object, or master data
table), allowing it to specify additional transformations from a business point of view. Transfer rules are a set of transformations defining the mapping of fields available in a specific DataSource to the fields used in the InfoSource definition.
7.x Data model Consider following diagram
Data source activation directly generates PSA. Info Package is used to load data only till PSA. Transformation Replaces Transfer rules and update Rules. Info Source in optional, Only needed for complex (Multi Steps ) Procedures. DTP replace Info Package , data marts interface and Info Spoke. ODS renamed as DSO, Introduce Write Optimized DSO. Info Set also supports Info Cubes.
Steps Of Migration
There are some steps of migration which needs to follow for migration of data flow. We needs to migrate transfer rules first before migrating data source. Many people make this mistake while migration. If you migrate data source first, then you will lose transfer rules. Following Steps to be considered 1) Right Click on Transfer rules and say Create Transformation.
2)
Now following screen will come , If you dont want to use available Info Source select first radio button and click on to continue.
If you want to use available Info Source then you need to mantion its name after clicking on second radio button. But it should be generated from 3.x Info Source Intractive Script
3)
Provide name to Info Source and Click on
You can give any name according to your project naming convantions. 4) If you are storing your project in specific package then mention name of package and it.
5)
Now you will get one prompt which will show details of copying.
6)
Now go to Info source tab and find new Info Source. Open it and click on
to activate.
7)
Now Open Transfer Rule and
activate it.
8)
After successful activatiob of transfer rule Right Click on Data Source and say Migrate.
9)
Click on
With Export will ask you for transport request . 10) Now Go to Info Provider and search for 3.x old Data Source . Right click on Update rules and say Create Transformation.
11)
This time again it will ask you for info source. This time you can use second radio button
12)
Now Open Transfer Rules and map it .
13) 14) 15)
Activate this transformation and now all data flow is in 7.x. Now right click on and create a DTP.
By executing Data Package and DTP data will get loaded in Data target.
