Introduction:

After reading this article, you will know how to the check the data/records for Delta and Repeat Delta options using Extractor Checker (Transaction Code: RSA3) in ECC.

LBWQ:

qRFC Monitor for the outbound queue, we use this transaction to monitor the status of the LUWs in the outbound queue and restart any hanging queues manually.

RSA7:

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

RSA3:

The extractor checker can test extracted data at the source, allowing you to find data errors/inconsistencies at an early stage (before data loads into the Target System)

Live Scenario:

We want to know/test how many records there in Delta Queue and Repeat Delta Queue in ECC. Because we can’t count the number of records in LBWQ/SMQ1 or by looking at Total in RSA7, so here we need to use Extractor Checker to check and count the records.

Here I’m explaining the live scenario by using 2LIS_03_BF Extractor/DataSource. And I’m assuming that we already loaded Init load using 2LIS_03_BF Extractor/DataSource in BI/BW and need to load Deltas.

Detailed Steps:

Please follow the below steps…

Step: 1

Go to LBWQ and see the entries for 2LIS_03_BF Extractor/DataSource.

Note: I’m assuming that, we already executed Init loads for 2LIS_03_BF DataSource successfully and we are ready to o

for Delta Loads in BI/BW Server.

Step: 2

Go to RSA7 - BW Delta Queue Monitor and see the Total for 2LIS_03_BF Extractor/DataSource.

Update Modes:

Delta update:

A delta update only requests data which has appeared since the last delta. Before you can request a delta update, you must first initialize the delta process.

A delta update is only possible for loading from SAP source systems.

Repeat Delta:

If a delta fails (status ’red’ in the monitor) or the overall status of the delta request has been set to red manually, the next data request will be performed in repeat mode.

A repeat request extracts the incorrect or incompletely loaded data from the failed delta request, along with any new data since the original request. A repeat can only be requested in the dialog. If data from the failed delta request has already been updated to the data targets, delete the data from the data targets affected. If you cannot delete the data from the data targets, duplicate data records may be produced when the repeat request is performed.

Select Delta Update and execute.

There are no records in Delta Queue, but still it is showing some records i.e. under Totals it is displaying 2. But actually there are no records in Delta Queue.

Go to Extractor Checker using Transaction Code RSA3 in ECC and give DataSource is 2LIS_03_BF.

Step: 3

Increase the Data Records / Calls to 999999 and Display Extr. Calls to 9999 because we can see all the data in single Data packet.

Press F4 to find out the Update modes. You can see the following Update Modes.

Select Update Mode “D” (Transfer of the Delta Since the Last Request). To check the number of records

in Delta Queue.

Give the Target sys Logical name (Press F4 and select.), then click on Extraction button.

See the above screen; it won’t have any records in Delta Queue, the same thing we saw in RSA7, Delta Queue.

Step: 4

Then come back to main screen of RSA7 and again select the DataSource and click on display, this time you select Delta Repetition and execute.

Here we can see 390 entries in Delta Repetition.

Step: 5

Then go to Extractor Checker (Transaction Code: RSA3) and give the DataSource and now here select

Update mode is “R” (Repetition of the transfer of a data packet), then execute.

We can see 390 records, the same number of records we saw in Repeat Delta option in RSA7.

Step: 6

Go to “LO Data Extraction: Customizing Cockpit” using Transaction Code : LBWE and run V3 job.

Click on Job Control.



© 2009 SAP AG 11

Click on Start Date.

Select Immediate.

After that you can see Immediate start like below. I.e. the V3 job will start immediately.

Click on Save and come back.

Click on Print Program.



© 2009 SAP AG 13

Give the below parameters and enter.



© 2009 SAP AG 14

Then Click on Schedule Job, to start the V3 Job.

You can find the “New Job is Scheduled” on the status bar, so our V3 is started.

To check the job click on Job Overview.



© 2009 SAP AG 15

See the below screen, job is completed.



© 2009 SAP AG 16

Step: 7

You can check in SM37 also…Go to SM37 and give Job name is “LIS-BW*” and if you know user ID give else give * and execute.

See the job status, it is finished.

Step: 8

Go to RSA7 and select the DataSource 2LIS_03_BF and click on Display data entries. Here you can see, the number of Total is increased, after V3 job success.

Now select Delta Update and execute.

We can see 174 new records in Delta Queue. I.e. after V3 job.



© 2009 SAP AG 18

Step: 9

Then goto Extractor Checker (Transaction Code: RSA3) and Select Update Mode “D” (Transfer of the Delta Since the Last Request). To check the number of records in Delta Queue.

Give the Target sys Logical name (Press F4 and select.), then click on Extraction button.

We can find 174 records. I.e. the same number of records which are there in Delta Queue (RSA7).



© 2009 SAP AG 19

Step: 10

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

You can see 174 records in PSA. See the below screen.
