BI UDI data load conflict using MS SQL Server and date fields

Hi BW Experts!
We have found some unexpected problems when we are trying to perform a data extraction process from an SQL database (non-SAP application).
We are using the BI UDI tool (JDBC Driver/Connector).    The basic data extraction works properly, however we have some specific problems to work with SQL Server fields defined as Date Time.
The JDBC driver automatically intermediate the communication and translate these fields splitting the original SQL date time field into two separated fields with suffix _D (for date) and _T (for time).
It works perfect for extraction, but it doesnt work well when we try to restrict the data selection based on these fields.
When we put a date selection into the infopackage data selection area (we already have tried several date formats), the system simply ignores these selection parameters and send a SQL statement without WHERE clause to DBMS.
Please, anybody has experienced anything like this or know somethings that could help us?
This is a standard limitation from SAP BI UDI?
Thanks in advance and best regards,

Hi Matt and Thomas
Many thanks for your replies.
Yes I have to do the join. Even worse I have to write an Aggregate query like this!
Select o.F1,o.F2, m.F1,m.F2, count(*)
from
table@oracleServer o,
table@microsoftSQLServer m
where o.F1=m.F1
group by o.F1,o.F2, m.F1,m.F2;
These are 2 different systems (hardware & software) which actually do the same job, they produce transactions for a common business entity. Kind of, both sell tickets for the same ABC ferry company.
I can not put them side by side on the dashboard, as I need to aggregate the data and present it maybe in a Oracle BI Report for Accounting and Financial reconciliation purposes.
The truth is, as it is. I can't change it, is too late.
I have to device a way to harvest both systems as they are. I don't want to move around data. I thought looking at Oracle BI I could write SQL against multiple Data Sources. I am struggling to find a way. As it seems that it can "SQL query" 1 data source at a time.
I have been hinted on another forum (OracleTURK) to use Oracle Transparent Gateways and Generic Connectivity. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/toc.htm
Shame, I have to pay licenses for OWB and Oracle Transparent Gateways. I thought DB vendors can do better. Why do I have to pay to access the other 50% of the market.
I can understand the performance implications this might have. Because of it I might even be forced at the end to move data (ETL) into a separate database, slice it into partitions and manage it that way. Pitty because currenlty I only need one report out of these systems but seems like will be dear to get.
Thank you for all your help.

Use of SQL Server and Oracle Simultaneously

Hello,
Is it possible to have Oracle and SQL Server used simultaneously? Here, developers will be accessing both databases at the same time, whereas they are some ease of implementations at one Database, which can't be found in another database.

I am able to retrieve with simple OUT Parameters from the stored procedure in the application without having to use refcursor. Is this a bad thing in the use of other data types instead of refcursors?
I was able to have only a varchar and this worked fine.PL/SQL is a formal procedural language with a number of object orientated programming features. Of course functions can return all kinds of data types - even objects and arrays and collections and pointers (called LOB locators).
All SQL in Oracle are parsed and stored in the server as cursors. The ref cursor data type in PL/SQL is a variable type that contains the handle of a cursor in the server - its "special ability" is passing this PL/SQL variable structure to a client (like Java or .Net) and have the client consume the output of the cursor.
Ref cursors allow you to move a lot of business logic and validation and processing into PL/SQL - and have PL/SQL do the complex stuff and create the SQL cursor and then simply pass the cursor handle to the client as a ref cursor data type. You can easily maintain this code, introduces changes, tune for performance, without having to touch a single byte of client code.
But functions are not there simply to pass ref cursor handles to a client. They can do various other stuff and return all kinds of data types and structures.

Use a SQL SERVER get date in query

I want to constrain my returned data by a change date to just return the last rolling 30 days of data. When I use sysdate, I find the plan is to retreive ALL data across the dblink, and then filter it on the Oracle side.
Is there any way I can use the Sql Server getdate() function, something like
select * from remote@ss_link
where upd_date >= getdate() - 30
Problem - how do I get Oracle to pass the Sql Server specific function call to Sql Server? [BTW I'm on an old version of Oracle...]

It depends on the product you are using.
If you are using a gateway you can call remote functions using the getdate@<db link> syntax as described in the Heterogeneous Admin Guide.
For gateways and generic connectivity you can also use PASSTHROUGH which allows you to pass a statement as it is to the remote database.
Or at least you can create a view at the SQL Server side which returns the last 30 days and then just select from this view.

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

Loading Dimension members from SQL Server 2005 to Essbase Outline.

Hi Everybody,
I need to load dimension members from SQL server 2005 to Essbase outline:
Option 1:
I can retrive members from SQL to text file and then using Rule files load dimension members into outline.
option 2:
Using SQL Interface in System 9.
Option 3:
I can use ETL tools (ODI, Informatica etc)
I used Option 3 frequently and familier with, But i would like to use option 1 & option 2. If anybody has used option 1/2 kindly advice with correct steps
I would be very greatful for any help.
Version: 9.3.1
Regards
Kumar N

Hi Kumar,
For Option 2:
You have to create one DSN for the particular database(SQL Server) from where you want to retrieve the data.
Then Open Data Prep Editor and From File Menu Click on Open SQL and it will ask for the DSN connection details.
Enter the DSN details and write the query....
Thanks,

How to populate a spry menu using microsoft sql server database?

Hi
I would like to use dreamweaver cs4 and spry menu to create a dynamically created menu system.
My concept is to populate the menu items on the fly using MS sql server as the database technology.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have googled and searched but cant seem to get anywhere.
Also once i get my menu established, i would like to style it. It seems like a lot of work to style each element by hand. I was wondering if there were some collection of spry menu css files somewhere that i could just attach and presto!
Thank you.

Getting List of SQL server and on selection of server get List of Databases using SMO

Hi,
I need to have functionality where I need to populate List of available SQL servers from local network, and when i select SQL server from list, get the list of Databases from that Server.
For this i referenced SQL SMO Dll's and placed two drop down, one lists Server names, and one lists Database names.
Dlls refered are:
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlClrProvider.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll
Above DLL's i have copied from SQL server SQL server 2008 installed location
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\SDK\Assemblies
DLL version : 11.0.3000.0
Code i have used is:
private void MainForm_Load(object sender,
EventArgs e)
   DataTable dataTable = SmoApplication.EnumAvailableSqlServers(false);
   cmbServers.ValueMember = "Name";
   cmbServers.DataSource = dataTable;
//Now, load Databases on selection of Server combo box.
private void cmbServers_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
EventArgs e)
   cmbDatabases.Items.Clear();
   if (cmbServers.SelectedIndex != -1)
      string serverName = cmbServers.SelectedValue.ToString();
      Server server = new Server(serverName);
      try
         foreach (Database database in server.Databases)
            cmbDatabases.Items.Add(database.Name);
      catch (Exception ex)
         string exception = ex.Message;
It works where SQL server is installed, but in systems where no SQL server is installed, it is not working, it is not returning list of SQL server and so database list.
Query is> can you please help me in this regard, what i am missing here, do i need to install any client component to use this?, or anything else what i need to do to make this functionality work.
Thanks,
Hemal

Thanks Michael for replying.
I have gone through the reply, and the link on how to get the SMO library installed.
"To install the Client Tooks SDK without installing SQL Server, install Shared Management Objects from the SQL Server feature pack.
If you want to ensure that SQL Server Management Objects is installed on a computer that will run your application, you can use the Shared Management Objects .msi in the SQL Server feature pack."
I have few questions on "Shared Management Objects .msi"
Where do i get "Shared Management Objects .msi".
only installing this msi will install SMO?.
Can i ship this msi with my application installer?
do i need to install x86 on x86 system and x64 version of msi in x64 system, or x86 can work fine with both, my application
is x86 only.
Thanks,
Hemal

Problem using MS SQL Server JDBC Driver

I am trying to use MS SQL Server JBDC driver with JDeveloper9i. I followed the steps mentioned in the document
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/howtos/bc4j/bc_psqlserverwalkthrough.html
Still I am getting the following error message
Error initializing data-source 'SQLTestDS': DriverManagerDataSource driver 'com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver' not found
What could be the reason?Did anybody run into similar issue?
Thanks in advance.

I assume from your message that you are attempting to
deploy your application into OC4J - you're probably
implicitly using the inbuilt OC4J if your using JSPs.
If so, try placing the jdbc jars into the <JDEVHOME>\lib directory
and referencing them from the j2ee\home\application.xml
file:
use lines like:
<library path="../../../lib/msbase.jar" />

Using MS Sql Server 2000 with Flex 2

help! - I'm trying to understand how I could use Flex 2 (with
the Flex Data Services) using MS SQL Server 2000 as my RDMS.
Currently using SS with ASP. Basically, what do I need in
terms of server set up (e.g. do I need to install the J2EE Server
for instance?). How about using transaction based storedprocedures
with flex.
I'm having difficulty finding a clear answer (for me anyway!)
to my question. I have even phoned Adobe last Thursday to ask them
- and their expert was not around and they said would call me
back... hmm.

Hi Michael,
At this time SQL Server 2000 is not certified for WLCS 3.5. Since the
schema has changed between 3.2 and 3.5, running the 3.2 scripts is not a
good idea.
I can tell you that certification is in progress for SQL Server 2000. Your
best bet is to contact your Sales Representative to get an idea of when
certification might be coming.
I hope this helps.

Problems with deploying cmproster example using ms sql server as database

hi to all,
im new to ejb and i like to learn by doing the examples given in the j2ee tutorial. i want to deploy the cmproster with a bit of modification...i want to use ms sql server as the database..i have configured the data source and connection pools correctly..and when i run the Client Application there is no error. The database seems fine it was populated correctly..only some of the values become null..
Here is the sample output from the client app:
P7 null null 777.0
P8 null null 65.0
P10 null null 100.0
P6 null null 555.0
P9 null null 100.0
The two columns should be strings...i look at the server.log and there where errors:
Error while getting value from resultset at index 2 as resultType 21columnSqlType=JDO76: 12.Exception java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index
I think thats the culprit...Can anyone help me on this? tnx
Note:
By the way im using sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver for the jdbc driver

Entity Framework - Code First - Migration - How to access SQL Server and Oracle using the same context?

Hello,
I use Entity Framework code first approach.
My project is working fine with SQL Server. But, I want to access Oracle too. I want to switch SQL Server and Oracle in run time.
I am able to access Oracle using "Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework.dl" in a new project.
But, Is this possible to access SQL Server and Oracle in the same project.
Thanks,
Murugan

This should be possible with a Code-First workflow. In Code-First the database mapping layer is generated at runtime.

Using the SQL Server Agent for the first time

I have set up several jobs to run automatically throughout the day. Each job just does one thing: executes an SSIS package.
The packages themselves run perfect when I test them in Visual Studio 2005, but when the SQL Server Agent tries to run the job I am getting failed jobs.
Is there any tutorials or walkthroughs that can teach my about using the SQL Server Agent? If I wanted extensive help troubleshooting my SQL Server Agent problems which part of the message boards would I post that too?
Thanks for the info!

Anyone?
I really need some resources for SQL Server Agent 2005.
