Hi all,
In the SAP BW Standard business content the Infocubes
related to Sales & Distribution refer to LIS as datasources.
Our R/3 OLTP system is not configured for
LIS updates and non of the LIS in OLTP is activated for the data.
Now we have 2 options -
1. Modify the OLTP system for Activation of LIS
and then use them as datasource.
2. Create generic datasource and custom defined
Infocubes.
My question is -
1. How much efforts will be required for
activation and configuration of LIS in R/3 OLTP
We are currently on 4.0B R/3 system and system
has data for last 2 years .
2. By opting for 2nd option I loose the advantage of Delta upload capability of BW but I save on modifying efforts of R/3 OLTP system.
Any suggestions/comments on both these approaches will be highly appreciated.
Regards,

Use BW specific LIS information structures s260,
s261 & s262.
These are BIW specific info. structures and only
thing that u need to do
Is perform statistical update in SBIW before pulling
data in BW.

Have you considered the new extractors for SD-data (Sources 2LIS_11_VAHDR etc.)?
This extractor does not require LIS to be activated,
nor any knowledge of LIS (big advantage).
I'm currenlty installing these extractors, and
find them to be a reliable source that are easy to get running.
Do however take some days to find out the logic behind it.
Good luck!

If you are using BW 2.0b or higher you can use infosource 2LIS_13_VDITM, this does not requiere any LIS configuration.
You have to activate it using tx SBIW.
If you need more information don doubt to ask.

BW 2.0B business content for SD contains both
LIS and standard infosources (LO Delta). The only purpose of providing
LIS infsources is that you could do your first data load (full) using LIS
structures and then start delta loading via LO Delta method. or you can
totally ignore LIS infosources and use LO init/delta infocources (names
start like this 2LISxxxxxxx), which is
better and easy. Refer to BW documentation and
also there is white paper on SD extraction procedures.....
Thanks

Hi,
You do not need to activate any LIS structures.
Use transaction LBWE (logistics cockpit). Here you will find extractstructures in the logistics area. You are able (with developers key) to enhance the extract structures. Afterwards you should regenerate the DataSources, activate the extract structure.
Via SBIW you can initialise the extract structures per application area with historical data and check the results via transaction RSA7.
