Need to extract data from R/3 to BI...

Hi Friends,
We need to extract some data available in the R/3 side to BI. I have written code in a function module which brings the output into the table e_t_data. now by attaching this function module, we created a Data source also. and then from BI side we replicated this Datasource. when tried to extract the data at BI from R/3, the process keeps on running with out bringing any data into BI.
Regarding this, i referred some docs in the forums. They say that we have to go with the approach followed in the FM 'RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE'. I have done all the coding and settings similar to this function module. there is no syntax error and code produces the required output in e_t_data.In that FM they used some Select statement under the Open Cursor statement. But in our requirement, we are not selecting anything from Table. but we generate some data by some calculations and these data will be our output. If it is the case, can't we use that open cursor approach...? we need to get the output data not by any select statement but the output will be some internal table entries which are created by some calculations.
Please suggest how to handle this. That would be very much helpful. <removed_by_moderator>
Thanks in advance...

Ram

If you dont require any coding, then why dont you extract the data using the DB view/table or DB query. why you are using the FM.
If you are using the FM, then for the first extraction call it will pass the selectoption data into ranges and in the next extraction call it will open the cursor based on the input data and fetch the data according to the package size per extraction call.
For the generic data sources using the FM, the main thing lies in Fetching the data. If you study the standard FM 'RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE', it fetches the data according to the number of records per extraction call.
At the BI, entire data cant be picked up at once. it will pick packets of data.

Currency type 10,30 and 00 need to extract data from R/3 to BI

Hi Experts,
I am working ECC6.0 version with BI 7.0,
I have a issue, when I extracting data from R/3 data source (0FI_AP_3) only currency type 10 comming but I need currency type 30 and 00 also....
when I check in data source abap code it was hard coaded with 10 currenly only,
can any help me to provide your inputs how currecy type 10, 30 and 00 also come to BI.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
0FI_AP_3 is Account payable -Actual line item data source, which was used for fetch actual vendor posting data.
If you are looking for planning and budgeting data then you sud go for 0FI_AP_1 / 0FI_AP_6 / 0FI_AP_7 based on your requirement.
Kindly let me know if you have any question on this.

Need to extract data from a bricked hard drive - Failure ID ucx77t-69j7ms-mfpx1f-60vp03

Hi My laptop (HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14, purchased in October 2012) had gone slow recently, and finally its hard drive developed problems. At one point, it was so slow that it took a few minutes to sign off my user, so I shut it down manually while it was logging off. That was when it got really bad. Specifically, I reached the "Repairing disk errors. This may take over an hour to complete" screen. I left it to run for almost a full day and it didn't work. So, I rebooted the laptop and checked its diagnostics boot menu. It ran diagnostics on the hard drive, and on the whole laptop. There were no hardware problems or any codes for any individual components, except the hard drive. Specifically, it gave me the Failure ID "ucx77t-69j7ms-mfpx1f-60vp03". I tried looking that up but I couldn't find anything. I wonder what that failure ID is for. Fortunately, I have a recovery drive, and most of the information on the laptop is backed up, but I need to extract some recently created data from my hard drive before I lose it by running recovery manager. I tried to back up some files, but the recovery drive could not reach any files to back up. I've also tried taking out the drive and putting it in an external hard drive enclosure then connecting it to another laptop, but it's telling me that the drive is only 25 GB when it's a 500 GB drive, and I still can't reach any files from C: inside. Can you help me figure out how to back up those files? They're only about 10-15 GB altogether, and I can easily fit them on another laptop.

The failure id message means the hard drive has failed and will have to be replaced. The slowness and other problems were early warning signs of a failing hdd.If the drive can not be read using an external enclosure-not much hope. You might try one of the free tools to recover files-especially #2 which claims ability to recover lost partitions.Maybe it can see your C partition. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/filerecovery/tp/free-file-recovery-programs.htm

Need to extract data - from USB 2.0 external disk

Ive tried Data Rescue II to no avail. I cant afford to buy another tool to use such as FileSalvage.
I was hoping somebody else in the Mac community knows of a freeware/shareware or otherwise inexpensive tool that can extract data....
Cheers and TIA

just for anyone following this thread, who may be experiencing a similiar issue here are more facts.
This is a USB 2.0 type external USB drive in a small plastic enclosure. Its got a 3 year warranty from manufacturer Simpletech.
It worked fine for 6 months. It appears to have failed - it was never accidentally erased. Ive used it weekly to backup my MacBook Pro.
Suddenly, this Simpletech 250Gb drive stopped being accessible. You would see the the (two) partitions mount, and correct volume names. One partition was made big enough to handle backing up a MBP- im my case a 100Gb partition. The latter partition was what was left over, or nominally, 150Gb. Upon connecting the USB 2.0 cable, you would see the volumes mount, with correct volume names and contents, but upon clicking (say a folder of text documents), the item would simply disappear from view. Further clicking on other items - say folder full of my pet pics, folder of music, folder full of pics of stuff I have for sale) those would disappear too.
Repair tools such as Disk Utility did and still do see the volumes and contents. But nothing more can be done to view or access any data within them.
Side note: DU has the "vulnerability" of not forcefully unmounting volumes - and will state when it cant do so. Unmount is a command and a process used by OSX to modify disk contents. The drive or partition icon would and should disappear from your desktop (momentarily), then DU can do its thing, hopefully to repair whatever is wrong. Same idea for erasing, unmount would still be needed. But if the partitions dont unmount via DU, you might be tempted to give up. Fortunately, you can go to Terminal and issue a command such as:
sudo umount -f /dev/get name of your disk from DU - get info (such as disk2/s5)
while this Terminal way of issuing unmount may work (and did for awhile for my faulty disk) no utility was able to repair my drive in any way shape or form. No erase command, no format, nothing nada.
So Im stuck with wanting to RMA this defective drive back to the manufacturer but have no way to erase the data.
Tried putting close to gigantic speaker - that didnt work at all.
Any suggestions ?
Simpletech has said they will replace it if I send it back. My data is seemingly trapped on this drive !
I tried:
Tech Tool Pro
Drive Genius
Diskwarrior
Data Rescue II
to no avail.

File-File - Need to extract data from source file name???

Hello Experts,
I have a unique situation. In my file to file scenario, the source file name is of the format XYZ_yymmddHHMM.dat. there is field in the target file which has to filled with the date that is there in the file name of the source file (yymmdd). How can this be achieved? Normally we do the other way round using vaiable substitution where we can name a file depending on the value in any of the target field structure.
Please help.
Regards,
Yash

Hi,
please prepare the udf with the following code.
i mean, dynamic configuration concept.
where u get the file name, then use substring function to capture date from right side.
//write your code here
// getFileName User Defined Function
// function to create name of output file
String filename;
filename = strFile;
try {
// initialize DynamicConfiguration for create file with given name
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
//create file with the specified name
conf.put(key, filename);
} catch (Exception ex) {
return filename;
warm regards

Need to extract data from a BLOB

I have a blob that I need to pull some data out of and insert into a table that already contains the blob.
My thought is to use something like instr or substr and have it return the values to the appropriate column for the appropriate blob. Am I on the right road?
Is there any examples you could provide that will lead me in the right direction?
The data that I am looking for is at least preceded by a word: for example
I am looking for an assigned_id number At least the number itself is preceded by something like Assigned ID: 123456
It may not always be in the same place in the document but I am hoping that there is some way to traverse over the document find the word assigned id and then take that vale to insert into the table
Any help would be appreciated

The subject is BLOB ... not CLOB. The demo you linked is for CLOB.
That said the DBMS_LOB package contains both SUBSTR and INSTR functions.
Demos here:
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/dbms_lob.html
One small warning though ... taking a substring of binary data may or may not yield anything of value. How are you going to determine the offset?

HELP! Firmware update failed, need to extract data from unreadable iPod

Please HELP! I have important data on my iPod that I need to preserve. Here's what I did:
* downloaded newest iPod software and used the iPod Updater. It assured me the the "Update" process does not touch songs/data on my iPod
* clicked the Update button. The update failed, citing error writting data to disk.
* now my iPod will not boot up (folder icon), on top of that it will not mount even in Disk Mode (claims it's unformatted).
* iPod Updater now offers only the Restore option
I absolutelly NEED to get the data of my iPod if I am to restore it. The data should still be on the disk (even if the firmware is damadged), it's just a matter of gaining access to it.
Any chances?
iPod video Windows XP

Good luck.
Sounds like a problem I had with a camera card - and I lost the pictures, and I have yet to restore the camera card - it's still dead, won't even format.
Take it someplace where they specialize in data recovery - for high fees....

Need to pre-populate and Extract data from static PDF form

Hi Jasmin or Jayan or anyone else that can answer.
I have a requirement to use Digital Signatures. Because of that, the forms must be static PDFs and the form variables will be “document form”. I want to pre-populate the form via an SQL query and custom render process and render it as PDF so that the submitter can apply a digital signature when he/she is done and ready to submit for approvalSubsequent approvers will also digitally sign the form. I know that I will specify the custom render to render only once and thereby preserve the signature(s) on the form. I do, however, need to extract data from the form to control the business process. I cannot access the data in the form the same way I do with an xdp and I also cannot pre-populate the same way I do with an xdp.
Any suggestions on how to attack this?

Parth, one problem with your approach is he will submit PDF and therefore you won't be able to put the PDF in a variable that's suppose to contain just xml.
The prepopulation should be the same. If you start off with an xdp, then you will call a render service that merges data with your xdp to create a PDF.
Now when you submit, you will submit the entire PDF back in the Document Form variable. In Workbench, you can use the FormDataIntegration service to extract data from that PDF that's being stored under Document Form var/object/document and put it in an xml variable. Then you can just use xPath to do your condition.
I'm assuming you'll just pass that same Document Form variable to the next step, because if you do any change to the PDF it'll brake the signature.
Let me know if I missed anything.
Jasmin

Extract data from Query to a Flat File - scheduling in the background

Hi All,
We need to extract data from a query to a flat file periodically, but each time 10 separate executions based on 10 profit centers, to get the separate files.
So, we have PC1, PC2, ... PC10 Profit centeres.
We have Query1, with profit center variable.
We have created 10 variants for Query1 so that we can execute for 10 profit centers.
Now, we have used RSCRM_BAPI to execute the Query1 and write to a flat file. Now we are having a problem in getting this feature used to execute the query automatically for 10 different varaints.
Thanks in advance,

Extracting data From PDF to Excel

I have inherited a large library of PDF invoices which I need to extract data from into excell - or some other spreadsheet. The other option is to open up thousands of pdf documents and run the numbers by hand which is just dumb. I am new to acrobat and an entire afternoon of trial by fire / google hasn't gotten me very far - so even pointers in the right direction are appriciated.
Ideally I would like to tell Acrobat what data is important on each document (can I use the form tool to do this?), extract the data from the relevant files (batch processing tool I presume?), compile the data and extract it to a CSV.
It looks like the functionality is here I am just unsure how it all needs to fit together. Any Suggestions?

Hi,
There is software out there that will convert PDFs to excel... look for ABBYY or Able to extract... If you have a lot of files that are the same merge them together before using the software. Remember that if the data is created from a scanned image then the results will only be as good as the ability of the OCR engine contained in the software. You can play with the software to create tables, etc...

Extract data from Oracle in excel file

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to extract data from Oracle in excel file and the excel worksheet name should be "Data".
for eg. excel file name "AR Data_DDMMYY" and excel worksheet name "Data"

I tried using utl_file.fcopy and frename.
Is there any way to do this using PLSQL?

Hi,
I was able to generate the excel 2007 file with the data using the package from below link;
http://technology.amis.nl/2011/02/19/create-an-excel-file-with-plsql/
but the requirement is to generate excel 2003 file.
I tried changing the .xlsx to .xls and it gives a note while opening the file "The file you are trying to open, abc.xls, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"Then you have three options:
1) stop using anton's package and find another one that supports the old and deprecated version of Excel 2003
2) write your own package to produce an Excel file.
3) Upgrade your version of Excel to a recent version
I tried the programs from other links on the forum but I am still getting this message. The client does not want this message to be displayed as the excel file works as an input to another system.
Can anyone help me with the issue?
Also, is it true that the programatically generated excel file is actually an xml file which is renamed to .xls and hence it shows the message while opening such files?Yes, Excel supports several different formats for it's files. By default, if you save an XLS files from Excel, it writes it out in a Microsoft proprietary binary format, which you would be hard pushed to replicate easily from PL/SQL. Excel also has the ability to save it's files as XML format, which is more readable and easier to produce programatically, whilst still allowing you to have multiple sheets, formulas and formatting included in it. That's the format that most people who need formatting and multiple sheets opt for when programatically generating their data as excel workbooks. (There's also an SLYK format that people used to use before that, but it's not as flexible)
If you want to write your own, the easiest thing to do is to start with a blank workbook in Excel, and put in your basic requirements e.g. a couple of named sheets, and some data in different formats (number, date, text etc.) and different formatting options etc. Save that file in XML format from Excel and then open up the file using notepad/wordpad to look at the structure. There'll be a whole load of redundant rubbish Microsoft put in there, but you should be able to figure out the basic structure of XML required to give you what you want.
