Additional licensing to transfer BW data into Hyperion Platform

Dear all,
I already posted a similar question in BI Forum some months ago, but I didn't receive any real answer...now I hope this might be the right place...
I know (as SAP says, at least till some year ago...) that "extracting data from SAP BW <b>by any means</b> requires additional licensing!".
Well, now we are in a software selection phase for a CPM tool and we are discussing about two options: SAP and Hyperion. This last one (and its sales people) <a href="http://www.hyperion.com/solutions/environment/sap.cfm">assure us</a> a no-cost integration between (the already existing) BW data and its BI platform, thanks to "a sophisticated engine that delivers high-performance extraction from SAP NetWeaver BI using SAP BAPI function calls".
Our SAP account manager (with the sales office support), on the contrary, asserts that additional licensing is required.
Where is the truth ?!
Thanks in advance...
Bye,
Roberto

Hi Roberto,
In my experiences with SAP and in particular to pricing and licensing, the final answer usually comes to the SAP account manager. They always have the pricing list with them. In regards to SAP, listen to the guy from SAP.

How to transfer XML-Data into a WebDynPro-Application?

An external partner has a calling interface that sends a HTTP-Redirect to a specific application-url and transfers all the data in one POST-Parameter.
The value of this POST-Paramater (CALLINTERFACE) consists the XML-Data.
<form id='InterfaceData3' method='post' action='/ProduktFrontController/Start'>
<textarea cols="80" rows="30" name='CALLINTERFACE'><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<authentifizierung version="1.0">
     XML-Data.....
</authentifizierung>
<br>
<p><input id='button1' type='submit' name='Button' value='Absenden'></p>
</form>
Standard-Java:
In our Java-Application we can read the POST-Value (XML-Data) via the HTTPServletRequest-Object/Instance.
WebDynPro-Java:
IWDProtocolAdapter protocolAdapter = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
IWDRequest request = protocolAdapter.getRequestObject();
String xmlData = request.getParameter("CALLINTERFACE");
In WebDynPro for ABAP I couldnt find a equivalent solution /technic to read the POST-Parameter-Value.
So I have to write a lot of annoying 'glue-code':-(      (HTTP-Request-Handler for reading, Shared Memory / Objects for transfer to WebDynPro ABAP),
(Remark: It's no solution to transfer XML-Data via a URL-Parameter because it is too big (> 1 KByte) and the external partner doesn't support this option!).
My questions:
1) What technics for transfering Data (not only 2 or 3 Parameter) form external web-applications into WebDynPro ABAP applications does SAP support?
2) Is it possible to reach the calling HTTP-Request from WebDynPro-ABAP? (MayBe via ABAP-Callback-Functions)
Sincerely
Steffen

Hi,
thank you for your answers:-)
In conclusion the result is:
1) There is no "direct" way to read POST-Parameter in WebDynPro ABAP
=> You have to write a wrapper in BSP or an ICF - HTTP_REQUEST_HANDLER
(A ABAP-Class that implements the Interface "IF_HTTP_EXTENSION"
     that reads the POST-Parameter-Value and transfers the value into a reachable localtion for WebDynPro-Abap.
2) For parsing the XML-Data I can use for example STRANS tcode or Simple Transformations
3) For transfering the Data between the BSP / the Request-Handler and WebDynPro for ABAP, I can use for example SharedMemory, Shared Objects.
Regards
Steffen

Interface to transfer the data into payroll

hi folks,
I need to transfer the time data entry found in CATSDB intp payroll. what is the interface or BAPI FM that I can use?
Also , I need a clarification - is the data stored in CATSDB table - the final time data of the employees ?
Thanks
Vinu

Hi Vinu,
You can use the function module BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT for inserting the data into CATSDB table. (Transaction CAT2).
The function module BAPI_CATIMESHEETRECORD_GETLIST is used to read the data from CATSDB.
The function module BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE is used to change the existing records.
Please close the issue with points(appreciate) if it helps.
Good luck.

How to read a table and transfer the data into an internal table?

Hello,
I try to read all the data from a table (all attribute values from a node) and to write these data into an internal table. Any idea how to do this?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Check this code.
Here i creates context one node i.e flights and attributes are from SFLIGHT table.
DATA: lo_nd_flights TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
        lo_el_flights TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
        ls_flights TYPE if_main=>element_flights,
        it_flights type if_main=>elements_flights.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FLIGHTS> via lead selection
lo_nd_flights = wd_context->get_child_node( 'FLIGHTS' ).
CALL METHOD LO_ND_FLIGHTS->GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE
IMPORTING
    TABLE = it_flights.
now the table data will be in internal table it_flights.

but not for 3100 to 8120
thanks

Greg,
i'm repeating myself, but the two steps are
- Then II also have to repeat what I said in my quotation.
1) start with SBIW in r3 and then
- Do you think these two steps is the correct and without gaps sequence?
- After calling SBIW in R/3 one will have a tree with the a lot of menu options. Have you said which one shoud be executed? And it's not necessary to run SBIW, it's just enough (another entry to the same screen) to run RSA5 or RSA6 as I wrote in the quoted in my reply link in order to copy a datasource on BW side.
2) activate the InfoSource on BW via RSA1.
- One should replicate the datasource in BW (most of BW is just revoked by RSA1 t-code ), then link it with the activated transfer rules (or data transformations) to the active already infosource.
Then construct data flow (transformations and data transfer packages) to data targets.
These are clearly not two steps.

Best way to put binary-data into string?

Hi there!
What I want to do is to transfer binary data via HTTP/GET so what I have to do is to transfer binary data into a string.
Currently I do this the follwing way:
      byte[] rawSecData = new byte[4]; //any binary datas
      ByteArrayOutputStream secBOS = new ByteArrayOutputStream(4);
      DataOutputStream secDOS = new DataOutputStream(secBOS);
      for(int i=0; i < rawSecData.length; i++)
        secDOS.writeByte(rawSecData);
secDOS.flush();
String secData = secBOS.toString();
System.err.println("Lenght of resulting String: "+secData.length());
I know that this way already worked fine, however I now set up my system up again with another linux-distro and now strange things happen.
e.g. the secData string differs in lenght from run-to-run between 2 and 4 and I don know at all why?
Transferring the binary-stuff into string-stuff (e.g. short-binary 255 255, String: 65536) is not possible for me because of various reasons.
The funny thing is that I remeber that this already worked some time ago and I can figure out why it now doesnt...
Please help!

First of all thanks a lot for your help!
Yes, I already think its an encoding problem, but how can I specify the encoding in my application in a portable way. I dont have an idea what to do.
My applikation should run as applet on many different 1.1+ VMS (msjvm, netscape-1.1.5, ...).

Hi John-
According to SAP, The Data Transfer Workbench supports the automatic transfer of data into the system. The Workbench is particularly useful for various business objects with large amounts of data. It guarantees that data is transferred efficiently and ensures that data in the system is consistent.
Further, The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
For your purpose you might be helped by the following two links-
'Data Transfer Workbench' - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/0d/e211c5543e11d1895d0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

How can i get my oxygen 8 to transfer data into Logic?

i use an Oxygen 8 midi-keyboard and the Presonus firebox-interface with my Logic pro 7.
how can i get my oxygen 8 to transfer data into Logic?
its like there is no connection between the two.
but its not the cables, since everything was running fine before.
can anybody help me ?

Go into the Audio MIDI Setup utility and check to see if you see it there. Considering that the Oxygen 8 is class compliant, you should just be able to plug it into the Mac. Perhaps, all it needs it to be recycled (turn it off and on again).

SAP (ECC) extractor to transfer data into Non SAP System

Hi Experts,
Scenario : We had a requirement to decommission the existing SAP BW system and merge it into Non SAP BI system (say MSBI).
Existing BW system getting data from standard extractor and populating till cubes.
Now If this SAP BW system will be decommissioned and all the data needs to be moved to new Non SAP System BI.
What will be the approached for this smooth transfer.
Will SAP (ECC) std extractor will be used to move the data into non SAP BI system ? How ?
Any documentation and experience will be helpful.
Thank-You.
Regards,
VB

Hi VB,
First you need to identify that your MSBI system support BCI(business content integration) method. For example Informatica support BCI and provide RFC plugins to integrate with SAP. If your MSBI support BCI method then you can use standard dataextractors to extract data in new BI system. You will also need to plan the reporting model and how the extracted data will be feeded in your BI datamodel/reporting side. You may use some transformation reference from your existing SAP BI system.
Thanks

How to transfer IDOC - E1EDL24 segment data into my_itab?

Hi Experts,
Am trying to transfer data from a Segment-E1EDL24 to an itab of fs_itm_data.
data: begin of fs_itm_data,
tapos(6),
nista(18),
altme(3),
end of fs_itm_data.
So, when u see this E1EDL24 segment in WE31, there are lot of fields in it.
And am getting the data as,
idoc_data-segnam = E1EDL24
idoc_data-sdata = 00001012345678 (i.e. POSNR+MATNR)
So, to do dump this segment data into itab, am wrting code by using OFF SETTIng ; like,
fs_itm_data-tapos         = edidd-sdata+0(6).
fs_itm_data-nista         = edidd-sdata+146(15).
fs_itm_data-altme         = edidd-sdata+161(3).
1 - but, I dont think that, this is correct practice
2 - if there is no value for Alt UNIT of edidd-sdata+161(3), wht happens?
3 - If MATNR varies in its length, like 1 - 18?
so, let me know that,
1 - How to transfer this segment data into this itab?
THANQ

If I understand ur requirement correctly then u need to move idoc_data-sdata to an internal table itab.In that case no need to move data from idoc_data-sdata to itab directly using OFF SETT.
1st declare one wrokarea of type E1EDL24.
data: w_E1EDL24 type E1EDL24.
Now move the content of idoc_data-sdata to the workarea.
move idoc_data-sdata to w_E1EDL24.
Now u can do field by field assignment to move data from w_E1EDL24 to ur table.
fs_itm_data-tapos = w_E1EDL24-tapos.
fs_itm_data-nista = w_E1EDL24-nista.
fs_itm_data-altme = w_E1EDL24-altme.
Here I am assuming that field names in the structure fs_itm_data are same as field names in the segment w_E1EDL24.
