Changing the data source for PLD_ITEMS

When you convert a PLD report to Crystal, it uses a table called PLD_ITEMS.
First, where is this table located? I can't find it anywhere in our database.
The reason is that this report now uses a data source called PLDReportSource. I need to change this report back to OLE DB ADO if at all possible, and at that point, i will most likely need the answer to the first question.
Thanks all!

Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.


Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?


Thank you.

Justin,

Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that Save the report back to the
info store refers to IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects).


I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
or why successfully exporting the report with the new login/password is not what I
want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.


I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
server. I have no idea what
this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
discovered is that if I changed the report option, Database Configuration -> When
viewing report:, in the CMS to Use same database logon as when report
is run from Prompt the user for database logon, then the
SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.


So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Changing the Data source in Business Objects XI

Hi,
Is it possible to change the data source(not universe) in runtime to generate business objects reports. I am using BOXI 3.1.
Below is the code I am using to change the universe in runtime. I would like to change this so that i can change the data source instead of changing the universe. My intention is to generate report from multipple database using same universe. Right now I am using multipple universes connected to multiple datasources to achieve this. I am using Report Engine SDK(Java).
 if("Webi".equals(mDocKind))
 // Added for multiple database support
 DataProviders dataProvs = documentInstance.getDataProviders();
 try{
 //To support multiple queries in BO reports
 for(int count=0;count<dataProvs.getCount(); count++){
 DataProvider dp=dataProvs.getItem(count);
 DataSource ds= dp.getDataSource();
 infoUniverseObjects = getUniverseObject(infoStore,NewUniverseName);
 infoUniverseObject = (IInfoObject)infoUniverseObjects.get(0);
 String newDsCuid = infoUniverseObject.getCUID();
 dataProvs.changeDataSource(ds.getID(), "UnivCUID=" + newDsCuid, true);
 if(dataProvs.mustFillChangeDataSourceMapping())
 // Re-map data source to target Universe objects
 ChangeDataSourceMapping mapping = dataProvs.getChangeDataSourceMapping();
 ChangeDataSourceObjectMapping[] maps = mapping.getAllMappings();
 dataProvs.setChangeDataSourceMapping();
 }//for dataProvs.getCount()
 }catch(Exception e)
 mLogger.info("BOReportObject","createReport","Inside multiple data providers loop"+e.getMessage());
Thanks in advance

Edited by: Shameertaj on May 20, 2009 3:08 AM

Hi Shameer,
I think this is only possible with the Universe Designer SDK (which is only available in COM).
Please kindly refer to the API reference for the Universe Designer SDK for more details:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/bodessdk.chm
Also, please note that changing the universe connection when viewing a document on-demand is not recommended because this could lead to possible issues.
For example:
Two users trying to view documents that uses the same universe at approximately the same time.
But user A wants to use connection X and user B wants to use connection Y.
This could lead to an error while openning the document or while refreshing/retrieving the the data.
Hope this helps.

Dan

Can we change the Data source in AO ?

Hi Folks,
Environment: SAP HANA on AO
I have the following scenario , Am creating a report on one Calculation View: CV and have done some analysis where I have pulled in some dimensions and kept some background filters.
Now I have to generate the same report on another Calculation View: CV2 ( Similar to structure of CV ) and compare the reports. Is there any way to edit copy the previous report and change the data source? Can you guide me on that?
Regards,
Krishna Tangudu

Hi,
You can exchange the calc view by clicking on the button next to the data source name in the tab "components", but when you do this, the new data source will overwrite the settings and filters from the previous data source. So no, there is not a supported way of exchanging the datasource and keeping the filters of the previous data source.
Best regards,
Victor

How to change the Data sources after deploying the application ??

Hi All,
i want to know how to change the Data sources after deploying the application to the application server ???
I'm using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0)

Can you access the Enrprise Manager website of the target Application Server from your location? If so, you can change the datasource in it. If not, yo can bundle the datasource definition in your archive and use that one instead of the one configured in the target OC4J container. Or this will just be the responsability of your customer: whenever you send a new WAR file, they have to modify the datasource if needed and deploy the application?

How to change the Data Foundation for an existing Business Element

My Issue:
I have quite a few reports that use the same Business View. The Business View has an under lying Data Foundation that uses a Dynamic Data Connection (DDC). I no longer want to use this DDC because production users are complaining they do not want to have to select a data source each time (multiple times when the report includes sub reports) they run/refresh their reports.
The Holy Grail:
I would like to change the Data Foundation that my Business Element layer is built upon and use another data foundation with identical tables, linking, and fields. The new data foundation would be using a production connection. This solves my immediate issue and has a great side benefit of providing a convenient way to promote reports from development to stage/test, to production and would not require production users to have to select which environment they want their report to run against.
I am logged in to BVM as administrator:
When I look at the Business Element layer Property Browser, I see a Data Foundation Property but is is disabled (such that it can not be changed).
Is there a way to change the Data Foundation that is used by an existing Business Element layer ?
I'd appreciate any help that someone can offer on this topic. Even if it is not possible and someone can shed some light on why this would not work or would not be a good idea, I'd be interested in learning

Technically No the system will not allow you to change as it is involved with many depreciation areas and change is not permitted for control reason.
You only need to retire the asset, reverse the postings, assign correctly and repost the values.

How do I change the Data Source? Please help

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone provide me the steps to change the extractor for a data source? Here is the situation; we have a Z data source and under data source display transaction RSA2, I see that the extraction methods is V (Transparent table or DB View) and the extractor is a Z table which we maintain in R/3 for mapping the SAP g/l accounts to Hyperion accounts. Since, we have introduced/created a new Z table in R/3 for SAP to Hyperion accounts mappings because of changes in Hyperion reporting system the BW system has no latest data/data from that is maintained in new Z table hence, it is appearing to me that once I update the data source with new Z table in the extractor will update BW with mapping information that is in the new Z table. Please let me know if I am wrong and suggest me the right way to deal with the above issue.
If updating the data source solves my problem then how do I go about doing that? Can I make the changes in R/3 production system directly or have to come through transport? Please provide me the steps to make those changes. Points will be awarded for the help.
Thanks in advance,
Kumar

Hi Ravi,
Here is what I meant for change in mapping and new mapping
1. For example R/3 account 1234 is mapped to Hyperion account ABC in old Z table and that was copied to new Z table since, we want to use that new Z table going forward but, in the new table the mapping is changed i.e., R/3 account 1234 mapped to Hyperion account XYZ
2. All new accounts created in R/3 after we started using new Z table are mapped to the Hyperion accounts only in the new Z table, meaning all the new mappings are only updated in new Z table.
Please reply.
Thanks,
Kumar

Unable to change the data source of SAP system

Dear all,
We have install SAP netweaver EHP1 standalone java on oracle 10.2.0.5 on windows 2008 R2.
while installation i have given the central SLD system as solman,
By mistake i have deleted the system from SMSY.. now when i createed the system manually i am unable to change the data resource as SLD due to this i can start my SMD configuration
Request please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Paresh

Hi Paresh,
You can proceed with deleting your SAP system from SMSY (along with connected technical content such as AS Java definition) and the run the LANDSCAPE FETCH through transaction SMSY_SETUP to have the correct definition of your SAP system in SMSY.
Following this, you could use the addon Landscape Verification (a new thing I learnt today!!!) to check the correctness of transaction SMSY. The following link details the Landscape verification 1.0 for SolMan:

Hope this helps sort out your issue.

Changing the data source of a Crystal Report

Post Author: starmizzle
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
We're running a trial of BusinessObjects XI Release 2 to see if it fits our needs.
We were told that we could import and publish our existing Crystal Reports and then later on go back and change their data sources to point to new universes as they're built.
So I've published a simple Crystal Report that I can run and modify through Infoview. And I've created a universe with the appropriate fields and calculations that it needs. So how do I force my published report to use the new universe as its data source instead of the system DSN it had when it was made?

What is the data source for cProjects hierarchy texts 0CPR_GUID?

The cProjects hierarchy will not display texts, only the technical name. I believe I must extract the texts for BW InfoObject 0CPR_GUID. I can not identify the text counterpart to 0DPR_HIERARCHY_ATTR data source for BW InfoObject 0CPR_GUID.
Questions:
1) What is the technical name for the text data source of BW InfoObject 0CPR_GUID?
2) Is this data source included in NetWeaver 04?
Thanks you for your help,

The Answer:
The project element data sources must be mapped to both the project element infosoure AND 0CPR_GUI_TEXT.
For each data source
0DPR_APPROVAL_TEXT to 0CPR_APPROVAL_TEXT and 0CPR_GUID_TEXT
0DPR_CHECKLIST_ITEM_TEXT to 0CPR_CHECKLIST_ITEM_TEXT and 0CPR_GUID_TEXT
0DPR_CHECKLIST_TEXT to     0CPR_CHECKLIST_TEXT and0CPR_GUID_TEXT
0DPR_PART_TEXT to 0CPR_PART_TEXT and 0CPR_GUID_TEXT
0DPR_PHASE_TEXT to 0CPR_PHASE_TEXT and     0CPR_GUID_TEXT
0DPR_PROJECT_TEXT to 0CPR_PROJECT_TEXT     and 0CPR_GUID_TEXT
0DPR_TASK_TEXT to 0CPR_TASK_TEXT and 0CPR_GUID_TEXT
