Need for assistance in Qlikview SAP Extractor Setup

[#1]

Dear all,

I'm am a beginner in the Qlikview handling and have a problem in our setup of the extractor from SAP. Our QV enviroment is QV 10 with connector 5.6 and our SAP system is ERP 4.7.

I have set up an Logical system, connected the outbound messages, activated the extract in SAP and when I will reload the script I have the follwing statement : Statement is: EXTRACTOR 2LIS_11_VAHDR UPDMODE C EXTRLANGUAGE E LOGSYS QTQVCEXTR1  since this is the first test.

The connector Log shows this:

2012-01-24 11:22:00 Progress Creation of function /QTQVC/EXTRACTION_STATUS returned after 00:00:00

2012-01-24 11:22:00 Progress Invoked /QTQVC/EXTRACTION_STATUS with MODE=I, returned STATUS=N

2012-01-24 11:22:00 Error ID:00 Type:E Number:001 Status record could not be found

Also when I view WE05 in SAP I can't find any Idoc's generated.

Thankful for any adwise where to fix the error.

Issue is that SAP Transport file is not properly transported in SAP R/3 environment.

please transport it in proper sequence.

Sorry for the delay.

In my case neither an authorization problem nor the SAP transports were responsible for the error. It was just that on our server on which qlikview is running there was no SAP Gui installed.

Therefore it worked on my client machine (with SAP Gui installed) and it didn't worked on directly on the server.

You can either install a sap gui on the server or just register the missing sap entries in the 'services' file in Windows/system32 on the server (compare to a machine with sap gui installed).

Thanks anyway for the suggestions.

Thanks a lot. We installed an Gui at our machine and directly the extract worked as supposed!
