Use

This release note is valid for the transfer of data packages into the BI system using tRFC. IDocs are generally not used for the data packages.

In releases up to and including BW Service API 3.0C, data packages are transferred independently of any enhancements to outbound scheduling (QOUT scheduler) that have since been made available. Settings in the corresponding control transaction SMQS were not relevant. However, in some cases, it was necessary to explicitly deregister the BW destination (see SAP Note 673940).

With BI Service API in Release SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (Plug-In-Basis 2005.1), you can (optionally) switch control of the transfer to the standardized outbound scheduling of the queued RFC. The approaches differ as follows:

●      Connected BI system has Release <= 3.5

Default remains unchanged. You perform the switch manually using the RSA1_TRFC_OPTION_SET program. (Prerequisite in Basis Release 4.6C is qRFC version 9 supplement 45.)

Alternatively, the BW destination can be deregistered automatically.

●      Connected BI system has Release >= SAP NetWeaver 7.0

The default setting is changed; however, you can revert to the original setting using the program mentioned above.

If you are using standardized outbound scheduling, the number of processes used to transfer data packages to the BI system has to be maintained for the BI destination in transaction SMQS.

In this case, the global data transfer settings (see SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (transaction SPRO) ® Integration with Other SAP Components ® Data Transfer to the SAP Business Information Warehouse ® General Settings ® Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer) only effect the number of processes that are used to transfer the data packages from the extraction process to the tRFC for the transfer.

Effects on System Administration

You use program RSA1_TRFC_OPTION_SET to specify how the data transfer is triggered in the SAP source system. You execute the program with transaction SE38.
