Blueprints Data Services

Hi,
I'm trying to use Blueprints for Data Services.
I used document "Blue Prints Data Services Content Objects.pdf", there are all Instructions for downloading and installing.
So I have done these steps:
(1) Install the Global Parsing Options
(2) Download "Data Quality Blueprints - All"
(3) Extract ZIP-File to Tutorial-Folder
(4) Import ATL - File
(5) Data Store - Configuration-Change to MySQL-Repository
(6) Substitution parameter configuration
(7) Address - Server is running
Started Job "Job_DqBatchGermany_AddressCleanse".
Job is completed successfully, but there are blanks in Output - Table - Columns.
For every record Status_Code = "S0000" and Info_Code = "1030".
Please provide me a way to troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks

Info_Code=1030: No country found in the record
(DQ Appendix in the Reference Manual)
The Address Cleanse Transform requires a correct CountryID, otherwise it can't start. So either it is getting none at all, it is NULL or something. Or it is using the wrong format, the transform expects the ISO codes. If you do not have the ISO codes, use the CountryID Transform upfront.

New tutorials posted for Text Data Processing on Data Services 4.0

Check out the 3 new Text Data Processing tutorials available at http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/TextDataProcessing within the Product Tutorials section.
-- Introduction to Entity Extraction Transform: this 15-minute demo provides an overview of the Text Data Processing Entity Extraction transform for Data Services 4.0. The Entity Extraction transform enables you to process unstructured text, such as web pages, news articles, maintenance logs, text from a spreadsheet, or even from a database column, to extract key pieces of information that you can use in query and reporting.
-- Using Text Data Processing Blueprints: this 6-minute demo explains how to get up and running with TDP quickly using a series of jobs contained in a blueprint. A blueprint is a sample end-to-end solution available on SAP Community Network.
-- Creating an Extraction Dictionary: this 13-minute demo explains how to create an Extraction Dictionary, which can be used to customize a TDP Entity Extraction transform to improve results.

Thanks for sharing your use case. I have a few questions if you don't mind:
1) What file formats are typically found within these compressed containers? For example, html, xml, txt, pdf, MS Office, etc.
2) Do these compressed containers ever have other embedded compressed containers within them? For example, a zip file containing other zip files within it.
3) If the intention is to process document files, do any of the document files have other document formats embedded/nested within them? For example, a MS Word document with a spreadsheet embedded within it.

How to pass the data from a input table to RFC data service?

Hi,
I am doing a prototype with VC, I'm wondering how VC pass the data from a table view to a backend data service? For example, I have one RFC in the backend system with a tabel type importing parameter, now I want to pass all the data from an input table view to the RFC, I guess it's possible but I don't know how to do it.
I try to create some events between the input table and data service, but seems there is no a system event can export the whole table to the backend data service.
Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer, I tried the solution 2, I create "Submit" button, and ser the mapping scope to be "All data rows", it only works when I select at least one row, otherwise the data would not be passed.
Another question is I have serveral imported table parameter, for each table I have one "submit" event, I want these tables to be submitted at the same time, but if I click the submit button in one table toolbar, I can only submit the table data which has a submit button clicked, for other tables, the data is not passed, how can I achieve it?
Thanks.

Error while running a job in Data services

We are using Data services BO XI R3 tool.
We have created datastore for Oracle database 8i using Microsoft ODBC DSN. This is the source datastore.
When job is to pull the data from source to 10g target, we get the below error in log file:

Is this a UNIX/Windows error?
Please let us know how this can be resolved.
Thanks in advance!

I restart the jobserver and it work, for a moment :P, but now says more...

I check if mysql DB has thas tables (they were created when I setup DS), but i don't know why this erros says No database selected the odbc file looks correct...

Error while registering a new repository on Data Services 4.0

Hi all,
I've a BO Enterprise Platform 4.0 + Data Services 4.0 installation, and I'm trying to register a new local repository in addition to the installation default one. I followed these steps:
1) Create a new database schema for the repository
2) Created the local repository with repository manager
3) Created a new job server associated with the new repository through the server manager
4) Tried to register the new repository in the CMC
I wasn't able to complete the step 4 since i got the following error "unable to connect to profile server".
Any clue?
Thank you very much
Pietro

what is the complete version of DS 4.0 ? also check the REPO_TYPE in AL_VERSION table, for local repo this will be NULL

Data Services job rolling back Inserts but not Deletes or Updates

I have a fairly simple CDC job that I'm trying to put together. My source table has a record type code of "I" for Inserts, "D" for deletes, "UB" for Update Before and "UP" for Update After. I use a Map_CDC_Operation transform to update the destination table based on those codes.
I am not using the Transaction Control feature (because it just throws an error when I use it)
My issue is as follows.
Let's say I have a set of 10,000 Insert records in my source table. Record number 4000 happens to be a duplicate of record number 1. The job will process the records in order starting with record 1 and begin happily inserting records into the destination table. Once it gets to record 4000 however it runs into a duplicate key issue and then my try/catch block catches the error and the dataflow will exit. All records that were inserted prior to the error will be rolled back in the destination.
But the same is not true for updates or deletes. If I have 10000 deletes and 1 insert in the middle that happens to be an insert of a duplicate key, any deletes processed before the insert will not be rolled back. This is also the case for updates.
And again, I am not using Transaction Control, so I'm not sure why the Inserts are being rolled back, but more curiously Updates and Deletes are not being rolled back. I'm not sure why there isn't a consistent result regardless of type of operation. Does anyone know what's going on here or what I'm doing wrong/what my misconception may be?
Environment information: both source and destination are SQL Server 2008 databases and the Data Services version we use is 14.1.1.460.
If you require more information, please let me know.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. Here are all the options on my source table:
My Rows per commit on the table is 10,000.
Delete data table before loading is not checked.
Column comparison - Compare by name
Number of loaders - 1
Use overflow file - No
Use input keys - Yes
Update key columns - No
Auto correct load - No
Include in transaction - No
The rest were set to Not Applicable.
How can I see the size of the commits for each opcode? If they are in fact different from my Rows per commit (10,000) that may solve my issue.
I'm new to Data Services so I'm not sure how I would implement my own transaction control logic using a control column and script. Is there a guide somewhere I can follow?
I can also try using the Auto correct load feature. I'm guessing "upsert" was a typo for insert? Where is that option?
Thank you very much!

RFC connection from SAP Data services to SAP ECC

We have data services set up in linux machine. I am trying to set up RFC connection between data services and SAP ECC.
From data management console after creating RFC connection i am getting "RFC_bad_connection" error message. Username , password, system number, hostname and client is working from SAP GUI and has all the authorizations. SAP gateway and service is name is correct.
Did anyone had similar issue and what was the solution. Do we have start the RFC connection from linux data services machine, i didn't see any sh executable to do so.
Thanks in advance for helping to solve the RFC connection issue.

I am new to SAP and we have just started work on Data Services.
I wanted to know the complete procedure as in how can I establish a connection between Data Services and ECC.
Thanks for your help and time.

MS Access 2003 and Data Services 3.0

I want to access MS Access 2003 from Aqualogic Data Services 3.0. The documentation tells me that Aqualogic Data Services 3.0 supports MS Access 2003
I read the "Extending Database Support" from the Administration Guide to deploy the xml file ... I did it successful!
But I can't configure the data source in the console to point to Access2003. How can I do it?

Thank you Mike for the answer.
The aqualogic Data Services release 3 support MS Access 2003, as you can verify in "Relational Providers Included With ALDSP" in this manual:
http://edocs.bea.com/aldsp/docs30/admin/aldsp-wrapper-ext.html#wp1134932
In the http://localhost:7001/console, when I go to the "Create a New JDBC Data Source", only those DB appears in the Database Type: "adabas for z/OS, CICS/TS for z/OS, Cache, Cloudscape, DB2, DB2 for z/OS, Derby, Enterprise DB, FirstSQL, IMS/DB for z/OS, IMS/TM for z/OS, Informix, Ingres, MS SQL Server, MaxDB, MySQL, Oracle, PointBase, PostgreSQL, Progress, Sybase, VSAM for z/OS , Other".
But the "MS Access 2003" didn't appears in this menu. The MS-Access.jar file was copied into ALDSP\provider path, and another items was created succesfully as shown in the "Deploying the rational provider" in http://edocs.bea.com/aldsp/docs30/admin/aldsp-wrapper-ext.html#wp1136406
I wants to create the datasource for MSAccess 2003. How can I do it?

Unable to create records in database using PHP Data Service

Hello, I've been stuck on this for a few days and search up and down for this on the net, no response I've found has worked, so I come to you...
Here are the steps I've taken, I think it's pretty standard
1. I have a macbook pro running osx 10.7.3
2. I installed MAMP all default (I've acually reinstalled this because someone suggested this might fix it)
3. Thru phpMyAdmin I created a database called my_test
4. In that database I created a table, this is the export of that table: (I've also tried this with InnoDB which is the default)
CREATE TABLE `customer` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
5. I created a new Flx Project (Running Flash Builder 4.5.1 Premium)
     Project Name: PHPTest
     Application Type: Desktop (Although I've done the same thing with Web and got the same results)
     >> Next
     Application Server Type: PHP
     Web Root: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
     URL Root: http://localhost:8888/
     Clicked 'Validate Configuration' and that worked
     Output Folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PHPService (default by Flash Builder)
     >> Finished
6. On the Data/Services tab on the bottom I click 'Connect to Data/Service...'
     Select 'PHP'
     >> Next
     Select 'Click here to generate a sample'
     Select 'Generate from database' radio button
     Username: root
     Password: root (default for MAMP)
     Host name: localhost
     Server port: 8889 (default for MAMP MySQL port, the HTTP port default is 8888 which in both cases seem to work but every video I've seen that uses MAMP on youtube uses 8889)
     Database: my_test
     Click 'Test Connection' (works)
     Table: customer
     Primary Key: id (this field is greyed out and Flash Builder selects 'id' which it figures out from the SQL table)
     >> Click OK
7. Then if I don't have the Zend Framework folder in my /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ folder it tells me its going to create that and I say alright. Then Flash Builder says stuff about how this is really only for testing and not production server ready and I say alright.
8. Then it takes me back to the Form from Step 6 when I get the chance to select 'Click here to generate a sample'
     These fields are now filled with this data automaticly:
     PHP Class: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PHPTest/services/CustomerService.php
     Service name: CustomerService
     Service package: services.customerservice
     Data type package: valueObjects
     >> Click Next (shows all the functions that will be now availible)
     >> Click Finished (End of the forms and it opens Dreamweaver to the php file it created CustomerService.php which I have no need to edit so I close that down)
9. Back in Flash Builder I switch to design view and drag a datagrid onto the big white area in the middle, whatever that is called.
10. Then below in Data/Services tab on the bottom I click drag the function 'GetAllCustomer' on top of the datagrid.
     I say yes to rebound and click ok and the view of the datagrid is updated with the colums from the 'customer' table in mySQL.
(Now let me say that when I hit save and compile this, if I actually had records in this table that I insert thru phpMyAdmin, this does show in the datagrid. So for the whole CRUD thing I am able to get the R which is Read)
11. Now going back to the design view in Flash Builder I will create a form to create records in the table... (I guess this isn't really a step)
12. In the Data/Service tab on the bottom I select 'createCustomer' function and then there is an icon called 'Generate Form' that looks like a white piece of paper with a gear on the bottom of it.
13. This opens up a new form and since I don't have a crazy bunch of fields in my table I just click Finished (If you click next you can specify which fields you want to exclude from the form but this time I don't need to)
14. This actually creates 2 forms if you look at the code, the second just shows the return type from when you click 'CreateCustomer' button on the first form. Because they overlap in design view I drag the form out of the way so you can see the input form, the return form, and the datagrid
15. Then I save and compile...
(Also if your actually reading this I didn't remove the id form field, I get the same result either way, but if you do remove the form field in the code/design you also have to update the button function to not deal with the id before it gets sent off to the php page since in this case the MySQL table is set to auto_increment the id, sorry this doesn't make much sence but this little area doesn't matter much either way)
16. Now fill in whatever data you want for name and email, try differnt numbers in the id field like 0, nothing, 1, 1000 and click 'CreateCustomer'
(For me nothing happens, no return is put in the return field, no error pops up and the datagrid is not updated with the new record, also going over to phpMyAdmin and checking out the table browse doesn't show any changes either, I know the button is calling the function because if I add a state change in that function it changes, it would seem that the line:
createCustomerResult.token = customerService.createCustomer(customer2); doesn't do anything)
So any idea what is wrong here, I'm convenced it's something stupid easy simple I just can't see it.

In case you need more info, here is a code dump on a mxml project that has this problem:

Data Services and Data Quality Recommnded Install process

Hi Experts,
I have a few questions. We have some groups that have requested Data Quality be implemented along with another request for Data Services to be implemented. I've seen the requested for Data Services to be installed on the desktop, but from what I've read, it appears to be best to install this on the server side to allow for more of a central benefit to all.
My questions are:
1. Can Data Services (Server) install X.1 3.2 be installed on the same server as X.I 3.1 SP3 Enterprise?
2. Is the Data Services (CLIENT) Version dependent on if the Data Services (Server) install is completed? Basically can the u201CData Services Designeru201D be used without the Server install?
3. Do we require a new License key for this or can I use the Enterprise Server license key?
4. At this time we are not using this to move data in and out of SAP, just using this to read data that is coming from SAP.
From what I read, DATA Services comes with the SAP BusinessObjects Data Integrator or SAP BusinessObjects Data Quality Management solutions. Right now it's seems we dont have a need for the SAP Connection supplement, but definetly something we would implement in the near future. What would be the recommended architecture? A new Server with tomcat and cmc (seperate from our current BOBJ Enterprise servers)? or can DataServices be installed on the same?
Thank you,
Teresa

Hi Teresa.
Hope you are referring to BOE 3.1 (Business Objects Enterprise) and BODS (Business Objects Data Services) installation on the same server machine.
Am not an expert on BODS installation.
But this is my observation :
We had recently tested on a test machine BOE BOXI 3.1 SP3 (full build) installation before upgrade of our BOE system.
We also have BODS in our environment.
Which we also wanted to check whether we could keep on the same server.
So on this test machine, which already has BOXI 3.1 SP3 build, when i installed BODS server installation,
what we observed was that,
all the menus of BOE went away
and only menus of BODS were seen.
May be BODS installation overwrites/ or uninstalls BOE, if it already exists ?
I dont know. Though i could not fine any documentation, saying that we cannot have BODS and BOE on the same server machine. But this is what we observed.
So we have kept BODS and BOE on 2 different machines running independently and we do not see any problem.
Cheers

Unable to Find SBOP DATA SERVICES 4

Hello ,
I am unable to find the SBOP DATA SERVICES 4.0 software on SMP, does this mean that my S user ID or my company doesn't have a valid license for this version or the product is in ramp up (I have checked the ramp up release too but unable to find 4.0 version thr) however I am able to download the XI3.2.

Yes, it is in Ramp-up and you need to be authorized to be able to download the software.

Unable to Connect Oracle 7 with Data Services 3.2

Hi All,
I am incredibly facing an issues with Oracle 7 connecting with Data Services 3.2. with Native client drivers (TNS Names).
The client legacy application is on Oracle 7, they are moving the data from legacy to SAP ECC. My role is to transfer the data from Oracle 7 to SAP ECC, We are using Data Services 3.2 for conversion. This Data Services 3.2 is not connecting with Oracle 7 by using oracle native drivers (TNS Names).
I am able to connect Oracle 8 client with SQL *Plus, but with Data Services its not connecting, I am able create Data Store but when try to import the table the error message I am getting like "ORA-24316: Illegal handle Type"
Is there any other solution for this to connect, or Is Data Services 3.2 will not connect to Oracle 7 since its older version.
Please reply with your thoughts, or with some solution.
Appreciate your prompt reply. Many thanks.

Hi Paul,
Currently I am using ODBC connection to read the data from legacy Oracle7, but ODBC is very very slow, queries are taking hours to fetch the data. Is there any other solution by chance... I read that DataDirect is the one can connect to any versions of oracle and its bit faster, is that true. Please clarify me. If that is the solution where can I get this DataDirect drivers for oracle 7? Please advice me.
Thank You,
Ashok

R/3 data flow is timing out in Data Services

I have created an R/3 data flow to pull some AP data in from SAP into Data Services. This data flow outputs to a query object to select columns and then outputs to a table in the repository. However the connection to SAP is not working correctly. When I try to process the data flow it just idles for an hour until the SAP timeout throws an error. Here is the error:
R/3 CallReceive error <Function Z_AW_RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: connection closed without message (CM_NO_DATA_RECEIVED)
I have tested authorizations by adding SAP_ALL to the service account I'm using and the problem persists.
Also, the transports have all been loaded correctly.
My thought is that it is related to the setting that controls the method of generating and executing the ABAP code for the data flow, but I can't find any good documentation that describes this, and my trial and error method so far has not produced results.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

You can't find any good documentation??? I am working my butt off just.......just kiddin'
I'd suggest we divide the question into two parts:
My dataflow takes a very long time, how can I prevent the timeout after an hour? Answer:
Edit the datastore, there is a flag called "execute in background" to be enabled. With that the abap is submitted as a background spool job, hence does not have the dialog-mode timeout. Another advantage is, you can watch it running by brwosing the spool jobs from the SAP GUI.
The other question seems to be, why does it take that long even? Answer:
Either the ABAP takes that long because of the data volume.
Or the ABAP is not performing well, e.g. join via ABAP loops with the wrong table as inner.
Another typical reason is to use direct_download as transfer method. This is fine for testing but it takes a very long time to download data via the GUI_DOWNLOAD ABAP function. And the download time would be part of the ABAP execution.
So my first set of questions would be
a) How complex is the dataflow, is it just source - query - data_transfer or are there joins, lookups etc?
b) What is the volume of the table(s)?
c) What is your transfer method?
d) Have you had a look at the generated abap? (in the R/3 dataflow open the menu Validation -> Generate ABAP)
btw, some docs: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com:443/wiki/display/BOBJ/ConnectingtoSAP

Flash Builder 4.5 Data Services Wizard, setting up REST service call returns Internal Error Occurred

Dear all -
I am writing with the confidence that someone will be able to assist me.
I am using the Flash Builder Data Services Wizard to access a Server that utilizes REST type calls and returns JSON objects. The server is a JETTY server and it apparantly already works and is returning JSON objects (see below for example). It is both HTTP and HTTPS enabled, and right now it has a cross-domain policy file that is wide open (insecure but its not a production server, it's internal).
The crossdomain file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
   <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"   />
   <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" secure="false"/>
   <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only" />
</cross-domain-policy>
The crossdomain file is in the jetty server's root directory and is browseable via HTTP and HTTPS (i.e. browsing to it returns the xml)
Now before all of you say that using wizards sucks (generally) I thought I would utilize the FB Data Services Wizard as at least it would provide a template for which I could build additional code against, or replace and improve the code it produces.
With that in mind, I browse to the URL of the Jetty Server with any web browser (for example, Google Chrome, Firefox or IE) with a URL like this (the URL is a little confidential at the moment, but the structure is the same)
https://localhost:somePort/someKey/someUser/somePassword/someTask
*somePort is the SSL port like 8443
*someKey is a key to access the URL's set of services
returns a JSON object as a string in the web browser and it appears like the following:
{"result":success,"value":"whatEverTheValueShould"}
Looks like the JSON string/object is valid.
I went through the Flash Builder Data Services Wizard to set up HTTP access to this server. The information that I filled in is described below:
Do you want to use a Base URL as a prefix for all operation URLs?
YES
Base URL:
https://localhost:8443/someKey/
Name                    : someTask
Method                    : POST
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
URL                              : {someUser}/{somePassword}/someTask
Service Name: SampleRestapi
Services Package: services.SampleRestapi
datatype objects: valueObjects:
Completing the wizard, I run the Test Operation command. Remember, no authentication is needed to get a JSON string.
It returns:
InvocationTargetException: Unable to connect to the URL specified
I am thinking - okay, but the URL IS browseable (as I originally was able to browse to it, as noted above).
I continue to test the service by creating a Flex application that accepts a username and password in a form. when the form is submitted, the call to the service is invoked and an event handler returns the result. The code is below (with some minor changes to mask the actual source).

                    </s:FormItem>
          </s:Form>
</s:Application>
It's a simple application to be sure. When I run it , I get the following returned in the text area field txtAreaResults:
An Internal Error Occured.
Which is equivalent to the following JSON string being returned:
{"success":false,"value":"An Internal Error Occured"}
It appears that the call is being made, and that a JSON object is being returned... however it does not return the expected results?
Again the URL constructed is the same:
https://www.somedomain.com:somePort/someKey/someUser/somePassword/someTask
So I am wondering what the issue could be:
1) is it the fact that I am browsing the test application from an insecure (http://) web page containing the Flex application and it is accessing a service through https:// ?
2) is the JSON string structurally correct? (it appears so).
3) There is a certificate enabled for HTTPs. it does not match the test site I am using ( the cert is for www.somedomain.com but I am using localhost for testing). Would that be an issue? Google Chrome and IE just asks me to proceed anyway, which I say "yes".
Any help or assistance on this would be appreciated.
thanks
Edward

Hello everyone -
Since I last posted an interesting update happened. I tested my Flex application again, it is calling a Jetty Server that returns a JSON object, in different BROWSERS. I disabled HTTPS for now, and the crossdomain.xml policy file is wide open for testing (ie. allowing every request to return data). So the app accessing the data using HTTP only. Browsers - IE, Opera, Firefox and Chrome. Each browser contained the SAME application, revision of the Flash Player (10.3.183.10 debugger for firefox, chrome, opera, safari PC; 11.0.1.129 consumer version in IE9,) take a look at the screen shot (safari not shown although the result was the same as IE and chrome)
Note that Opera and Firefox returned successful values (i.e. successful JSON objects) using the same code generated from the Data Services Wizard. Chrome, IE and, Safari failed with an Internal error. So I am left wondering - WHY? Is it something with the Flash Player? the Browsers? the Flex SDK? Any thoughts are appreciated. Again, the code is found in the original thread above.

I bought new i phone 5 3 days back, after that asked for new update which is 6.1.4, after updating my iphone i am not able to use cellular data services. I called up data provider, they says its the problem with new software update. There is no option add APN. Now when i switch to safari its showing you are not subscribed for cellular data. But I am able to use data on other phone.
Will you please help me in this regard?
Another issue, since i bought my new iphone there is dust inside back main camera.
Your advises are highly appreciated.

Hey Shaiju isac,
I'd take a look at the following article, it'll guide you though steps to you troubleshoot cellular data issues on your iPhone:
