2.1 Customizing for the Extractors
Use
This section describes the activities in an R/3 source system to set up the Customizing for the
Extractors.
These activities can be accessed in two ways:
1. As described in the subsequent sections from the SAP Business Warehouse
2. Directly from the source system. In the SAP Reference IMG look for the node Business
Information Warehouse or execute transaction SBIW.
Below the node Business Information Warehouse you will find all the described activities.
Search for the activities with the title of the chapter!
Prerequisites
The activity Transfer Application Component Hierarchy (transaction RSA9) must have been
completed for your source system client.
Refer to the General Settings for BW Integration configuration guide.
Procedure
This step has to be carried out in the BW system:

6. From the node SD select the DataSource 2LIS_11_V_SSL. From the application toolbar
choose Select Subnode +/- (F9).
7. From the node SD select the DataSource 2LIS_11_VAITM. From the application toolbar
choose Select Subnode +/- (F9).
The selected DataSources, the selected nodes and all DataSources below the
selected nodes appear in different color in the view.
8. Once you have selected all required DataSources and nodes choose Trans. DataSources
from the application toolbar.
9. If a dialog box appears requesting the user to enter a development class enter the
appropriate development class and choose Save.
10. Choose Back twice to return to your BW system.

SAP Best Practices Building Block Service Level: Order Items: Configuration Guide
Completing setup tables is a critical action, that should be carried out with caution.
For large data amounts, this can take longer than one night and may have to be done
at the weekend. Or the setup should be split up into several parts.
Procedure
1. Carry out the following step in the BW system:
SAP BW Menu Modeling Administrator Workbench: Modeling
Transaction code RSA1
2. In the Administrator Workbench: Modeling view in the Source Systems tree, make a right
mouse click on the entry R/3 Source System and select Customizing for the Extractors.
The BW system starts an RFC Call to the Source system client. If the logon screen of
your source system is displayed log on to your R/3 source system client. Otherwise
the Display IMG view is displayed immediately.
3. In the Display IMG view choose Data Transfer to the SAP Business Information Warehouse
à Settings for Application-Specific DataSources (PI) à Logistics à Managing Extract
Structures à Initialization à Filling in the Setup Table Application-Specific Setup of
Statistical Data SD-Sales Orders - Perform Setup.
4. On the Statistical Setup from Old Dokuments: Orders screen make the following entries:
Field Entry
Name of run Any name
New run X
Date of Termination Enter a date in the future (e.g. tomorrow)
Time of termination Time in the future
No. tolerated faulty Any number, e.g. 99
documents
5. Choose Execute.
6. In the Information dialog box confirm the message with Continue.
7. Choose Back twice to return to your BW system
Result
You have triggered the statistical update for the BW extraction structures for existing sales
orders. The data is available to be uploaded to BW.
The statistical update used here corresponds to the method you chose in the Logistics Extract
Structures Customizing Cockpit.In order to upload existing deliveries data to your BW you call up
selected deliveries and trigger the statistical update for the BW extraction structures for existing
deliveries. This activity is also part of the configuration of building block Sales Analysis.

The assignment of source systems is only relevant for transfer rules, file
DataSources and InfoPackages. If there is more than one source system, only those
objects assigned to the specified source system are collected for the transfer.
Objects that have not been assigned to the specified source systems are ignored.
Procedure
To assign a source system, choose:
SAP BW Menu Modeling Administrator Workbench: Business Content
Transaction Code RSORBCT
Then carry out the following steps:
1. In the Administrator Workbench: Business Content view choose Edit Source System
Assignment.
2. On the Choose source system by default? dialog box make sure that the checkbox in the
column Default assignment is selected only in the row containing the source systems you
need to load data from.
3. Choose Continue.
Result
By assigning the source systems, you limit the assignment to the DataSources from the assigned
source systems only. This reduces the time for activation.

Result
Depending on the update mode you chose either data is loaded into the data target and/or the
delta process is initialized in the source system.
The success of the initialization of the delta process can be checked in the source
system in transaction RSA7 (Delta Queue Maintenance). If the initialization has been
successful for an InfoSource, you will find the corresponding data source (with the
same technical name) in the view with status green.
