BODS DATA Quality

Hi All,
I know that we can do the address cleansing by using DQ transformation. DO we have any kind of directories so we can do other type of cleansing apart from address.
Regards
Vicky

Vicky,
Directories are provided only for address cleansing. We provide dictionaries for name/firm parsing and standardization, and this data can be enhanced through the use of third party databases.

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

Extracting Data from SAP ERP using BODI/Data Services 4.0

HI,
I am trying to extract data from SAP ERP via SAP extractors using BODI/Data Services 4.0.
I do not have my own ERP system so I am renting remote access from one of the many available on the internet.
I am able to connect BODI to the ERP system and import the extractors metadata.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I run job to extract the data I get the following error:
Vendor-supplied function module <Z_AW_RFC_READ_EXTRACTOR> not found. Ensure that you can execute the function module in SAP via transaction /nSE37.
How do I create the function? Or is the function a SAP standard function?
SAP ERP system being used is: ECC6 EHP4
User has SAP FULL and DEVELOPER authorizations.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Just used Match consolidations & match comparison with data quality for add

I recently started to look for jobs on BODS and data quality i used data quality match consolidations.
Are there any ither impt elements which are widely used in the industry from data quality perspective?
Kind regards.

I am not entirely sure I understand your question. We do have Data Quality blueprints for use in Data Services available. You can find these on the SCN.
The SAP Community Network hosts several Data Quality blueprints which are available for download. Go to http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/ds, and if necessary enter your user id and password or create an account.
Scroll down to Downloads and click the link in Samples Data Services Blueprints. There are several download packages that specialize in different areas and one that has all available samples contained in one download package.
Note: A "review" page displays after clicking the link of the blueprint to be downloaded. Click View this Code Sample to download the file.
Hope this is helpful.

Data Integrator and Data Quality

Hi,
I worked on BI 7.0 and now exploring Business objects. I wanted to know how Data Integrator and Data Quality products relate to SAP BI 7. What is the purpose of using them. Is this integration and quality features not embedded in SAP BI 7.

BI and Data Services share many integration features, but Data Service provides better connectivity to third party data sources. The data quality features of Data Services are not available in BI.

Data quality check or automation

Apart from passing the report to the user for testing are there ways the process can be automated for a data quality check and how?
Thanks.

Hi Dre01,
According to your description, you want to check the report data quality. Right?
In Reporting Services, the only way to check the report data is viewing the report. So for your requirement, if you want to make this data processing automatically. We suggest to create subscription, it will process the data automatically based
on the schedule and you will get the subscription of report to check if it shows data properly.
Reference:
Create, Modify, and Delete Standard Subscriptions (Reporting Services in Native Mode)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Data Quality Process

Hi:
I'm very interested in data quality and I'd like to know where to begin and which Oracle tools help to support activities like data auditing, data profiling and data cleansing.
I'm an OWB user but I don't like the way this tool performs data profiling, it creates a materialized view for every column on the table to be analyzed, so it takes many time performing that and then produces a lot of tables with the statistics gathered. I think there would be a better implementation for this.
Thanks for the forum,
Hazbleydi C.

One problem is that the data quality and profiling functions built into the Oracle database cannot be used in a heterogeneous implementation like Fusion - and most of the good data quality vendors have already been acquired (FirstLogic, Vality, Similarity, Fuzzy Logistics). Informatica would be a multi-billion dollar acquisition which may be too expensive for an Oracle data integration stack. Oracle may rely on partnerships with Informatica, IBM and Trillium to provide a wide range of data quality and profiling functions.
Gartner thinks everyone is looking up in the Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools, 2007

Data Quality Services

Hi All,
I have utilized the DQS for my organization Data Cleansing project. And we have built Data Quality reports using DQ output.
We also use Profiler Summary report in the Activity Monitor, but this is manual process where Data owners need to manually enter into the Activity monitor and generet the porofiler report.
My question is, which DQS table store the this Profiler summary report where by I can automate the report through that source.
Here is the screenshot of the report we are looking at, we need to find out which DQS source table got this information.
Thanks for the help

DATA QUALITY connection on INGRES

Post Author: ryefrancis
CA Forum: Data Quality and Data Insight
Hi,
Would like to ask if any you guys have any idea on the error prompt "NO COLUMNS SHOULD BE RETRIEVED FOR THIS TABLE. A POSSIBLE REASON IS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE SELECT PERMISSION FOR THIS TABLE OR DATABASE"?
The database being used is INGRES. We already tried to update its
security settings and Grant Access still it won't establish a
connection.
But when we try using SQL statements instead of SQL HELPER we could get some reports.
Hope you could have any suggestions and solutions to this problem.
Good Day!!!

Ingres is not supported for Data Insight however if you will send some additional information we may be able to check if anything obvious is missing.
Two items that may help are the connection information from the Data Insight repository (iqi_connection table) for this source and screen shots of the populated connection dialogs.

Data Quality - Failed to create connection to MDR.

Hi All,
I have installed Data Quality 11.7.2 on windows 2003 server using SQL 2005 (Both SQL 2005 server and Data Quality are in the same server) , The install was successful. But when I try to Open 'Data Quality Project Architect' it throws an error
Failed to create connection to MDR.
Driver error messgage = qodbc_mssql:
Unable to connect, Database error message =] [microsoft][odbc sql server driver]
[ tcp/ip sockets] sql server does not exist or access denied
I checked the ODBC connection and tested it successfully too.
I am not able to pass through the 'Meta Data Repository Connection' as its failing in 'Setup SQL connection option'
Any help is appreciated !!!
Thanks
Ranjit Krishnan

Hi Paul,
Thanks for you reply, OBDC connection was created under System DSN, also tired the users DSN option too, but did not work.
Recreated the ODBC connection many times still no luck.
The 'Project Architect' client and the MDR (SQL 2005 Server) are on the same machine.
Thanks

Data Quality for name and address

Hello,
We have OWB10G and would like to use Name and Address operator. It seesm to me that we need to buy some Data Quality library from some 3rd party ( FirstLogic etc). Our client is not ready to pay money to buy these 3rd party libraries. How would we go and still be able to use Name and address operator.
I was in the impression that OWB has some builtin Data Quality libraries. Do we have to write some PL/SQL to clean , parse , match and merge data or it can be done using OWB? Why OWB does not have these libraries built-in.
Is there some freely available Data Quality tool?
Thanks
Suhail Ahmad

bump again,
Oracle used to have pure extraxt and integrate, could we use these libraries with OWB10G?

Data Quality , Name and address

I would like to know if someone has used Name and address functinality in OWB. I would like to clean our data and possibly link two or more record with one record and also would like to standardise the addresses such as Parkway to Pkwa, st. to street etc. Is this all possible in OWB? Could I use Name and address server to do all these?
While reading a FAQ on http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/ORACLE92_WAREHOUSE_BUILDER_DQ_FAQ.htm , it seems to me that I need to buy some kind of data qulaity software from third party, am I right?
Thanks
Suhail

Syed,
Many OWB customers are using OWB's Name and Address, and Match-Merge capabilities to perform the tasks you described.
You are right, as the Data Quality FAQ states, Name and Address, while modelled in OWB at design time, requires third-party software at the run-time. That software is licensed separately (directly with third-party vendors, previously Oracle re-sold the third-party technology as an extra option to OWB). However, Match-Merge does not rely on any third-party technology.
There are introductory viewlets and self-paced exercises for both of these features at http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/OTN_viewlet.html

Data Quality Admin and Client on Windows 7 Issue

Hi,
I am experiencing a strange behaviour of Data Quality two shortcuts referring to admin.exe and discovery.exe .
I get the program running only if I right click on the original installed shortcut (running as administrator). The will not work neither if the shortcut is copied anywhere else nor if the shortcut is got from the start menu after a search in the bottom box. The problem seems related to the compatibility. If I do not launch the binaries using the "troubleshoot compatiibilty" also the binary itself will not start.
Tried to save the settings to run in XP compatibility mode but this is not honored.
Someone else fixed this?
Thanks
Fabio D'Alfonso

The quickest solution might be to try to reinstall followed by another uninstall, or to use the Windows Install Cleanup Utility, (although Microsoft has removed it from their support site with the following disclaimer).
Notice
This article previously contained a link to the Windows Installer Cleanup utility (MSICUU2.exe). If you were directed to this article to solve a problem installing a product other than Microsoft Office, please contact your software manufacturer for installation support on the product.
While the Windows Installer Cleanup utility resolved some installation problems, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer. Because of this, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center.
Nonetheless, here is an active link and basic instructions:
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
1.     To use the Windows CleanUp utility, follow these steps:
a.     Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Install Clean Up.
b.     Select the program that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
c.     Click OK, and then click Exit.
If these suggestions do not help, then perhaps a case should be opended with TAC and they could assist with gathering the installer log files.
