Defining PowerCenter as a Logical System in SAP BW

 

To import InfoSources and load data into SAP BW or to extract data from SAP BW, you must define PowerCenter as an external logical system in the SAP BW system.

Create a single logical system in SAP BW for PowerCenter. If you have multiple SAP BW Services in the PowerCenter installation, each SAP BW Service must use the same Type R entry in the saprfc.ini file.

If the SAP BW system is a Unicode system and the Integration Service and SAP BW Service run on AIX (64-bit), HP-UX IA64 (64-bit), Linux (32-bit), Solaris (64-bit), or Windows, you must configure the logical system to communicate in Unicode mode. SAP provides Unicode RFC libraries for these operating systems. When the Integration Service and SAP BW Service run on these operating systems, they use the Unicode RFC libraries to process Unicode data. For more information about processing Unicode data, see Language Codes, Code Pages, and Unicode Support.

To create a logical system:

  1. Log on to the SAP BW system using SAP Logon.
  2. Go to transaction RSA1 to open the Administrator Workbench.
  3. Right-click the Source Systems folder and select Create.
  4. From the Select Source System Type dialog box, select the following option:

    5. External System (Data and Metadata Transfer Using Staging BAPIs)

  5. Click Enter.
  6. In the Create Source System dialog box, enter the following information and click Enter:

     

    Parameter
    Description
    Logical System Name
    Name of the logical system. For example, you can enter LSPowerCenterBW.
    Source System Name
    Description of the source system.
  7. On the RFC Destination screen, click the Technical settings tab.
  8. Under Registered Server Program, enter the Program ID.
    9. SAP BW uses the Program ID to communicate with the SAP BW Service. The Program ID you enter here must match the PROGID in the Type R entry of the saprfc.ini file defined for the SAP BW Service. For more information about configuring the saprfc.ini file, see Configuring the saprfc.ini File.
  9. If the SAP BW system is a Unicode system and the Integration Service and SAP BW Service run on AIX (64-bit), HP-UX IA64 (64-bit), Linux (32-bit), Solaris (64-bit), or Windows, click the Special Options tab, and then select the Unicode option under Character Width in Target System.
  10. Click Save and return to the Administrator Workbench.
