Information Steward 4.2.1 not installing Data Cleansing Advisor (DCA) database

Our situation is as follows:
We have a SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.1 Sp3 system on Windows Server 2012.
We are installing the following components onto a separate, new Microsoft Windows Server 2012 platform (in this order):
- Information Platform Services (IPS) 4.1 Sp3
- Data Services 4.2 Sp1 Patch 3
- BusinessObjects BI 4.1 Sp3 Client Tools (for the BOE Metadata Integrator)
- Information Steward  4.2 Sp1 Patch 3
We verified the cross compatibility between IPS, DS and IS with SAP Note 1740516.
SAP Note 1740516, as referenced in the PAM, lists the following: "BI 4.1 SP3 was officially certified with DS/IS 4.2 SP1 Patch 3".
Our repository databases are located onto a separate Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise instance and the domain "DS/IS" service account under which IPS, DS and IS are installed, and will operate the Tomcat, DS and SIA services, has full access to these databases.
All required repository databases, including the IS repository, were created at forehand.
IPS and Data Services install fine without any problems. IS also installs fine, without the "Addnode" or Metadata Integrator installation issues that I have seen with previous versions. There were no errors of any kind.
The "Information Steward" and "Data Services" nodes are available in the IPS CMC and can be accessed.
However - the EIM APS is shown as "Running with errors"!
Trouble shooting the EIM APS reveals that the Data Cleansing Advisor (DCA) Service is the culprit.
Selecting the properties of the EIM APS also shows that the DCA Service could not be started and is marked in red. All other entries seem fine.
Once the DCA Server is removed from the EIM APS, the EIM APS will return to a green "Running" status.
This seems to indicate that the DCA Service is faulty. Checking the ..\BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\Data\DCA-SA\Data directory shows further evidence of this issue, as this directory is EMTPY. The expected DCA database file and the DCA log files are not there!
We have tried a number of things:
1. Removing the DCA service from the EIM APS, restarting the SIA/IPS, adding the DCA service to the EIM APS again.
2. Uninstalling IS 4.2 Sp1 Patch 3, rebooting the server and repeating the installation again.
2. Uninstalling IS 4.2 Sp1 Patch 3, rebooting the server and repeating the installation with IS 4.2 Sp1 Patch 0 (GA release)
3. Upgrading the IS 4.2 Sp1 Patch 0 (GA release) with the IS 4.2 Sp1 Patch 3 version.
None of these have made any difference whatsoever.
I have found 1 post on SCN with the exact same problem:  http://scn.sap.com/thread/3475164
Unfortunately, the listed solution of reinstalling has clearly not worked for us.
Has anybody seen this problem before? Any ideas what else we can do to resolve this issue? Our next port of call is opening a SAP support call but we really want to get IS up and running ASAP  - so any suggestions would be most welcome!

Hi Erik and James,
This has been fixed in 4.2 SP2 and will be fixed in an upcoming patch for 4.2 SP 1, as well.
Below are steps you can take to work around the issue you are seeing:
1. Copy the files that are in <Install Directory>\InstallCache\im.lac.icc.cdq.cognitivedq.pjs.services.backend-4.0-core-nu\14.2.1.<your build number>\actions\plugins\14.1.2
To
<Install Directory>\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\pjs\services\ICC.DCAService\lib
2. Restart the EIMAdaptiveProcessingServer.
Thank you,
Lynne

  • Data replication monitoring on MDG flex mode objects with Information Steward

    Hi,
    I am exploring different options available to setup data replication monitors on SAP MDG custom objects(flex mode). Basically my requirement is to setup rules in SAP Information steward which identifies if there are any missing records or mismatch between the data in MDG system and the replicated systems.
    The challenge I am facing is that the tables generated by MDG framework for flex mode are not consistent and they keep changing if we change some key information in the MDG data model. Also the generated tables are not the same in each environment (like development, quality, production). Appreciate if anybody can provide suggestions on handling the MDG generated tables in SAP Information Steward.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Goutham

    Hi Abdullah,
    Thanks for your reply. I cannot write any ABAP code in Information Steward. As you mentioned I can always use MDG API to pull the active data from MDG but here I can only give the table names.
    The other option as you mentioned, using DRF I can replicate the data in flat files to Information steward, but it is not making sense as I am validating with replicated data and not with actual data available in MDG. Other point is I don't think it is a good idea to replicate all the records periodically.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Is it possible to view the Rules data in Information Steward.

    Hi Experts,
    I'm working on Information Steward.Could you please guide me how to work on it.If i'm asking anything wrong correct me.
    In our project (Data Cleansing) source system is MS-SQL Server.
    when i create rules by using parameter,function and value  in Data Insight .
    1)In information steward we can view the table data.Coming part of the rules i'm not able to view the data.
    2)when i click on score card setup icon here i can add Key Data Domains.It will display with yellow exclamantion mark.
    Regards,
    visu.

    Hi Visu,
    you need to calculate the score for your rules by creating a Rule Task (Calculate Score). The scores for your Tables, Columns or Rules can then be viewd in the Workspace Tab under the Rule Result panel.
    These Rule Results are organized for technical focus: I am responsible for a tabel in my databasea nd want to know how good the data within the table is, or within a column...
    The DQ Scorecard is a different concept where you can create a nice drill down scorecard based on a Key Data Domain that you can define. This is for example if you are a Data Steward within your company responsible for the Product Data and you want to get a quick entry point / visualization how good the product data within your company is. (This person might not be aware in how many differnt tables of a database relevant product related data is stored and needs to be assessed, he just wnats to see results for his Key Data domian / Data Entity / Business Object PRODUCT). So the DQ Scorecard is a separate cetup, where you define which Key Data Domain, which Data Quality Dimensions (that you have already assigned to your rules), which Rules (that you already have bound to your tables) and which Rule Bindings you want to pick form your basic score calcualition to be conolidated and propagated to the higher level score of your Key Data Domain. That's what you do, when you go to Scorecard Setup. If there is a Exclamation Mark on any level of the Scorecard Setup, it means that you have not added next level of detial in that chain.
    Easy explanaition for why havign separate setup: You might want to defien a central ruel in your company to define valid salutations for persons (Mr. , Ms., unknown), bind them to the physical tables EMPLOYEE, SUPPLIER_CONTACT, CUSTOMER_CONTACT for getting the DQ SCore when setting up the Rule Tasks on the EMPLOYEE, CUSOTMER and SUPPLIER table.
    --> gives you three individual scores, based on one single rule definition.
    But you also want to get a DQ Scorecard for drill down based on the different data objects. So your Scorecard setup has three Key Data Domains: Employee, Supplier, Customer. You add Data Quailty Dimenson to the scorecard set up for each Key Data Domain (chooes the ones you have attched to your single validation rule for the salutation check) then for every Key Data Domain and its Quality Dimension you add at least the Salution Rule (or I expect you have much more rules like validating other fields) and for each and every Key Data Domain / Data Quality Dimension / Rule defined you add the according Rule Binding: To the EMPLOYEE table for the Key Data Domain Employee, etc...
    All concepts are described in the Product tutorials and in the documentation.

  • AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file does not match data in the common datab...

    We are receiving the following error everytime we logon our pc for the first time: Add-On Outlook_Integration: This Add-on cannot be upgraded. AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file does not match data in the common database for this add-on. See SAP Note 1323680 for more information.
    A few months ago, SBO Server was moved from one server to a new virtual server, but we had no problems with the addons. The other day, we upgraded from SBO 2007 to 8.8 and now we are having problems with the Outlook Integration.
    I have followed the directions in the message noted above, and did find the AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file in some odd places, with a reference to the old server. I cleaned this up, on the server and the client and I can get it running...however, after the user shuts down the pc and logs back in the next day, the problem is back.
    In the process of cleaning this up (un-registering the addon and removing the addon references in the local .sbo file) I noticed at times that we would still receive this error, when there really shouldn't be an reference to it.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Vaughn.........
    I guess you need a re installation of Outlook Integration Addon.
    Whatever version addon of OI you installed just uninstall it and Install it freshly from 8.8 setup package......

    Rahul

  • Data Cleansing in CRM Web UI

    Dear Experts,
    I have activated Data Cleansing in CRM 7.0 and it is working.
    Can anyone advise on the setting or configuration required to get the CRM Data cleansing functionality to copy communication data stored at the relationship from the Source record to the Master record.
    Example:
    Company A has a relationship with Contact person A - this relationship has a mobile number and email address maintained.
    When merging the account of Company A (source) with a duplicate company A1(master), we need to copy the relationship (already occurs) between Contact Person A and Company A and the relationship level mobile number and email address to the master account which will be company A1 (this does not occur).
    Currently the relationship level communication data is not copied.
    Please provide step by step config settings to enable this. I already have the SAP Notes on Data Cleansing and have covered all WIKI's on the web. What i need are specific steps to overcome this issue.
    Thanks!!!

    In order to transfer communication data maitained at the Contact Person relationship level, you have to maintain the required node in transaction BUSWU02: BUP115     Contact's Work Address and BUP120 Contact's Communication Data
    If data is still not transferred, SAP has released notes: 1243559, 1491950, and 1493240.  to resolve.  Check the relevance before implementing.

    Hi
    well that makes sense, I did't see the transport files you mentioned in the Transport Queue in the
    ERP system.
    But, in KB 1971036 it is explained that the newer transport files should be imported from
    OSS Note 1916294 after deleting the functions /BODS/BODS. (see attachment)
    Do you think I should import first the transport files from the Admin
    directory, then reimport those from note 1916294 or not ?
    Regards,
    Robert

  • Rule sharing between Data services and Information steward

    Hi, I would like to know if there is any way we can share/import Data services validation rules or functions into Information Steward. I know that we can import informaton steward rules/functions in Data services but not sure of vice versa.
    Thanks,

    Pandeyji,
    You can only import rules into Information Steward that were exported from another instance of Information Steward.  You cannot export a validation rule from Data Services to a zip format as is required by Information Steward.  The format that the rules are exported from Data Services are not compatible with import to Information Steward.
    Please refer to the Information Steward User's Guide in the section titled Importing and Exporting rules.  This states "You can also import rules which were exported from other instances of SAP BusinessObjects Information Steward."
    You can of course export rules from Information Steward directly to Data Services where they will be available for use in the Validation transform and in dataflows.
    Thanks,
    Denise

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.

    I have tried to install CSA 6.0 a few times and it crashes on "Unable to load patch information into database. setup will now abort". can anyone tell me why this keeps happening. I have installed 5.2 just fine but I want to use 6.

    If you encounter problems with installing or uninstalling the CSA, perform the following tasks:
    • Verify that you rebooted the server.
    • Verify that the Cisco Security Agent service is not disabled and that its Startup Type value is
    Automatic.
    • Obtain the installation logs from :\Program Files\Cisco\CSAgent\log. Review the
    Cisco Security AgentInstallInfo.txt and driver_install.log files.
    • For installations, verify that you installed the Network Shim. The driver_install.log file should state
    that csanet2k.inf installed. If the Network Shim is not installed, uninstall the Agent and then install
    the Agent again.
    • Verify that you did not use Terminal Services.
