Data extracted from Oracle ASCP and presented in OBI

Hello,
I work for a company using the Oracle APS suite and for demand management and supply planning. The ASCP (Advanced Supply Chain Planning) tool is the key tool for our end user planners.
What are the interfaces like between Oracle APS and OBI?
Are there any OBI users who have enjoyed success using OBI to present the detailed data out of ASCP? The users report that getting visibility to the data in ASCP using the out of the box ASCP functionality is very limited.
I am interested in general feedback and any suggestions on where to get more information or perhaps to read about how other companies are using APS/OBI together.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jim Shaughnessy

One way of doing this is setup Heterogeneous Database connections

I am sure there's other options out there.

DATA EXTRACTION FROM ORACLE & SYBASE

Hello members...
Good day. This is my first posting in this site. I am new to Oracle and have a question regarding Data extraction from Oracle and Sybase.
My project has two applications one having Oracle as the database and the other has Sybase as the database. On the proposed production schedule, there would be a interface data update from the Oracle database to the Sybase database.
My aim is to check if the data update is in sync after the update. We plan to extract the data from the two databases (Oracle and Sybase) and compare in a Third Party tool. We have the tool to compare. Can any of you suggest a nice data extraction tool. I have to set this data extraction as a batch in the nightly batch schedule.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Krishna Kumar...

Sybase provides the best data extraction utility called BCP. You can load and extract data. It is very user friendly. From your unix prompt if you type in BCP ? you will all the switches and
help messages you need to use. It is so simple.
Oracle dosn't have such a utility to extract data from table.
You need to write a Stored procedure and use UTF_FILE package to
extract data from table and write into a file.

Data extraction from oracle

We need to pull data like material information, purchase order information from SAP to our local oracle database. How can we connect our application to download this data direcly from SAP's oracle database to our local database. We don't want to use BAPI calls. Is there is any way to connect to SAP's oracle directly?

There are ETL tools made for this that have add-ons for SAP R3/ECC, so that extraction of data uses native SAP functionality, and then loads to Oracle tables (including using native Oracle buik load functionality).
Two tools of this nature come to mind: Informatica and Talend. Informatica has an enterprise-class ETL tool that does exactly what you're looking to do, but the cost for Informatica is quite huge. On the other end of the spectrum, Talend also performs the tasks you're looking to perform and it's an open-source tool (free to download and use - cost for support and training).

Data extraction from Oracle database

Hello all,
I have to extract data from legacy database tables. I need to apply a lot of conditions on data extraction using SQL statements for getting only valid master data, transaction data, SAP date format etc. Unfortunately I don;t have a luxary of accessing legacy system data base table to create table views and applying select statements.
Is there anyother way round by which I can filter data on source system side w/o getting into legacy system. I mean being in BW data source side.
I am suppose to use both UD connect and DB connect to test which will workout better way of data extraction. But my question above should be same in either interface.
This is very urgent as we are in design phase.
Points will be rewarded immediately.
Thanks

Well I and eveyone know that it can be done in BI.
I apologize that I did not mention it in my question.
I am looking for very specific answer, if there is any trick we can do on source system side from BI. Or where we can insert SQL statements in infopackage or data source.
Thanks

Using XML extraction from Oracle and XSLT data transformation

Hi
How can transfer data ie: Using XML extraction from Oracle and XSLT data transformation with java application?
usually i use to do querying sql, getting data from table assinging to model class then send it to UI. how can i go for XML extraction form oracle?
thanks

Sorry, I don't understand what exactly you want to do. And I'm under the impression that you might not know exactly what you want to do as well. Could you explain a bit more detailed what you want to achieve?

Retrieving data from an ArrayList and presenting them in a JSP

Dear Fellow Java Developers:
I am developing a catalogue site that would give the user the option of viewing items on a JSP page. The thing is, a user may request to view a certain item of which there are several varieties, for example "shirts". There may be 20 different varieties, and the catalogue page would present the 20 different shirts on the page. However, I want to give the user the option of either viewing all the shirts on a single page, or view a certain number at a time, and view the other shirts on a second or third JSP page.
See the following link as an example:
http://www.eddiebauer.com/eb/cat_default.asp?nv=2|21472|9&tid=&c=&sc=&cm_cg=&lp=n2f
I am able to retrieve the data from the database, and present all of them on a JSP, however I am not sure how to implement the functionality so that they can be viewed a certain number at a time. So if I want to present say 12 items on a page and the database resultset brings back 30 items, I should be able to present the first 12 items on page1, the next 12 items on page2, and the remaining 6 items on page3. How would I do this? Below is my scriplet code that I use to retrieve information from the ArrayList that I retrieve from my database and present them in their entirety on a single JSP page:
<table>
<tr>
<%String product=request.getParameter("item");
ArrayList list=aBean.getCatalogueData(product);
int j=0, n=2;
for(Iterator i=list.iterator(); i.hasNext(); j++){
if(j>n){
out.print("</tr><tr>");
j=0;
Integer id=(Integer)i.next();
String name=(String)i.next();
String productURL=(String)i.next();
out.print("a bunch of html with the above variables embedded inside")
%>
</tr>
</table>
where aBean is an instace of a JavaBean that retrieves the data from the Database.
I have two ideas, because each iteration of the for loop represents one row from the database, I was thinking of introducing another int variable k that would be used to count all the iterations in the for loop, thus knowing the exact number. Once we had that value, we would then be able to determine if it was greater than or less than or equal to the maximum number of items we wanted to present on the JSP page( in this case 12). Once we had that value would then pass that value along to the next page and the for loop in each subsequent JSP page would continue from where the previous JSP page left off. The other option, would be to create a new ArrayList for each JSP page, where each JSP page would have an ArrayList that held all the items that it would present and that was it. Which approach is best? And more importantly, how would I implement it?
Just wondering.
Thanks in advance to all that reply.
Sincerely;
Fayyaz

-You said to pass two parameters in the request,
"start", and "count". The initial values for "start"
would be zero, and the inital value for "count" would
be the number of rows in the resultSet from the
database, correct?Correct.
-I am a little fuzzy about the following block of code
you gave:
//Set start and count for next page
start += count; // If less than count left in array, send the number left to next next page
count = ((start*3)+(count*3) < list.size()) ? (count) : ((list.size() - (start*3))/3)
Could you explain the above block of code a little
further please?Okay, first, I was using the ternary operators (boolean) ? val_if_true : val_if_false;
This works like an if() else ; statement, where the expression before the ? represents the condition of the if statement, the result of the expression directly after the ? is returned if the condition is true, and the expression after the : is returned if the condition is false. These two statments below, one using the ternary ? : operators, and the other an if/else, do the same thing:
count = ((start*3)+(count*3) < list.size()) ? (count) : ((list.size() - (start*3))/3);
if ((start*3)+(count*3) < list.size()) count = count;
else count = ((list.size() - (start*3))/3);Now, why all the multiplying by 3s? Because you store three values in your list for each product, 1) the product ID, 2) the product Name, and 3) the product URL. So to look at the third item, we need to be looking at the 9th,10th, and 11th values in the list.
So I want to avoid an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds error from occuring if I try to access the List by an index greater than the size of the list. Since I am working with product numbers, and not the number of items stored in the list, I need to multiply by three, both the start and count, to make sure their sum does not exceed the value stored in the list. I test this with ((start*3)+(count*3) < list.size()) ?. It could have been done like: ((start + count) * 3 < list.size()) ?.
So if this is true, the next page can begin looking through the list at the correct start position and find the number of items we want to display without overstepping the end of the list. So we can leave count the way it is.
If this is false, then we want to change count so we will only traverse the number of products that are left in the list. To do this, we subtract where the next page is going to start looking in the list (start*3) from the total size of the list, and devide that by 3, to get the number of products left (which will be less then count. To do this, I used: ((list.size() - (start*3))/3), but I could have used: ((list.size()/3) - start).
Does this explain it enough? I don't think I used the best math in the original post, and the line might be better written as:
count = ((size + count)*3 < list.size()) ? (count) : ((list.size()/3) - start);All this math would be unnecessary if you made a ProductBean that stored the three values in it.
>
- You have the following code snippet:
//Get the string to display this same JSP, but with new start and count
String nextDisplayURL = encodeRedirectURL("thispage.jsp?start=" + start + "&count=" + count + "&item=" + product);
%>
<a href="<%=nextDisplayURL%>">Next Page</a>
How would you do a previous page URL? Also, I need to
place the "previous", "next" and the different page
number values at the top of the JSP page, as in the
following url:
http://www.eddiebauer.com/eb/cat_default.asp?nv=2|21472
9&tid=&c=&sc=&cm_cg=&lp=n2f
How do I do this? I figure this might be a problem
since I am processing the code in the middle of the
page, and then I need to have these variables right at
the top. Any suggestions?One way is to make new variable names, 'nextStart', 'previousStart', 'nextCount', 'previousCount'.
Calculate these at the top, based on start and count, but leave the ints you use for start and count unchanged. You may want to store the count in the session rather than pass it along, if this is the case. Then you just worry about the start, or page number (start would be (page number - 1) * count. This would be better because the count for the last page will be less than the count on other pages, If we put the count in session we will remember that for previous pages...
I think with the details I provided in this and previous post, you should be able to write the necessary code.
>
Thanks once again for all of your help, I really do
appreciate the time and effort.
Take care.

Fayyaz

Data Mart and Data Extraction from an Infocube

Can a data mart which is built on one Infocube in BW support delta extraction? We have two separate BW systems and are trying to extract data from one Infocube in one BW (Source) and load it to one Infocube in another BW(Target)?
We have built a data mart on the source BW infocube and have successfully been able to extract and load the initial data load into the target BW infocube. I noticed that the field 0RECORDMODE was not on the datasource that was created to support this data mart so my gut feeling is that we will not be able to do delta data extractions from this data mart. Any feedback or confirmation of this?

Hi,
The InfoCube that is used as an export-DataSource is first initialized , meaning that the current status is transferred into the target BW. When the next upload comes around only those requests will then be transferred that have come in since the time of initialization. Different target systems can also be supplied like this
Since it is request based ..data mart on info cube supports delta.
Hope its helpful,
Anu.

Ho to automate data extraction from KSB1 and GR55 transaction code

Hi All,
Can you please let me know if their is a way to automate data extraction from transaction code KSB1 and GR55. I have to extract data from 5 different servers .i.e different server for each region and again i have different controlling area codes in each region. Following are the details which i use to extract the data. It takes too long for me to extract data from all this regions and controlling area codes using my parameters. It's very time consuming so i want to automate this process. I am end user so i don't have any admin rights. Please let me know any workable solution asap.
Production areas : PNA for Americas, PSI for Asia Pacific and Japan, PGY for Germany, PIT for Italy and PEU for Europe
Controlling area codes in PNA : CAR for Argentina, CBR for Brazil, CMX for Mexico and CUS for USA. Same way there so may other controlling area codes for all other production areas
Period From 1 to 12
Fiscal Year : 2009
Cost Centre Group : G_6284
Cost Element Group : 1742000000
Please let me know in case you need more details.

Hi,
Here follows a translation from German:
SAP GUI (client) for Windows enable
Start SAP Logon and log on to the SAP server.
Click the button on the toolbar to adjust for Local Layout.
Click Options and then click the tab for the scripting.
Select the Enable checkbox for scripting.
Disable the checkbox for Notify when a script is assigned to an active GUI and the checkbox for Notify when a script opens a connection.
Save the settings and restart the SAP GUI again.
SAP-server enable
With the following procedure, you can enable scripting by the SAP client temporarily. The specified value in this way is lost when you restart the server.
Start SAP Logon and log on to the SAP server.
Start a transaction RZ11.
Enter sapgui / user_scripting in the window to manage the profile parameters.
Click on ads.
Click in the window to display the profile parameter attributes to change value.
Enter TRUE in the field for a new value.
Save the settings and log out from the SAP GUI.
Quit the SAP Logon.
Note:
If the server administrator edited the application server profile of the SAP system to sapgui / user_scripting = TRUE to include the scripting is enabled when you restart the server by default.
SAP provides an option to change the network connection mode at any server. The following two connection modes are available: high-speed connection (LAN) and connecting with a slow speed. Although Functional Tester works in both modes, the high-speed connection with a recorded script is played only in this mode. This also applies to other modes. They must reflect your SAP script in the same network connection mode, with which the script was recorded. It is recommended that the mode of "high-speed connection, as it offers a greater number of valid recognition properties.

Data Extraction from CRM

Hello Experts,
I am presently working on data extraction from CRM system. I understand that there are three ways of data extraction from the CRM system:
i) Using Middleware integration
ii) CRM BI integration through XI
iii) Generic ETL process as used when extracting data from other SAP systems
Can anyone please suggest which one is the best method to follow and why?
Thanks & Regards
Nikhil

Hi,
The Third option is the best one I would say.
Why to use any other way line XI integration or anything like that which involves more complexity in terms of development , maintenance and most importantly COST. SAP is providing you the standard set of extractors, it will be a wise choice.

How Oracle ASCP and Inventory are integrated ,what are the Integration poin

Hi All Gurus,
Can any one tell me..
How Oracle ASCP and Inventory are integrated ,what are the Integration point of these modules ...?
Thanks,
Satyam

Here is a simplistic explanation on the the integration.
When you launch data collection from the ASCP side, Oracle launches a Refresh Snapshot process that gathers the latest inventory (and other modules) information into Snapshots. Snapshots are like materialized views. Then the Planning Data Pull is launched. That process pulls information from these snapshots into the ASCP side.
The following inventory information comes over to ASCP
Item master data (such as order modifiers, planning exception sets etc. )
item categories
Onhand quantities (including consigned invetory quantities) in nettable locations
subinventories
reservations
safety stocks
forecasts
item planners
Quantity in receiving or in transit
Hope this answers your question

Passing a value for date parameter from Oracle Forms to BIP

Hi
I have created a report with the following SQL query:
select
d_tables.d_seq,
to_date(d_tables.d_created) creation_date,
d_tables.d_created_by created_by,
d_tables.d_pk,
d_tables.table_name,
d_tables.comments
from
d_tables, d_applications
where
d_tables.d_ppk = d_applications.d_pk
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) >= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_FROM, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) <= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_TO, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
The parameters P_CRE_DATE_FROM and P_CRE_DATE_TO have been set up as date in BI Publisher with format dd-MMM-yyyy
The report works fine when launched in BI Publisher.
I want to call this report from Oracle Forms and I'm trying to pass the values for both the parameters. However, the report does not generate output based on values passed.
Does it have to do with datatype? Does anyone know a solution for this?
Kind regards,
Aparna

Thanks for your suggestion. I am already referring to the whitepaper and have integrated Forms with BI Publisher. The parameter passing is working fine for a varchar2 type of parameter. However, for a date type, there seems to be some problem.

Data Transfer from Oracle database 10g to Oracle database 9i

Hi Experts,
We need to insert records at the speed of min 10,000 records per sec in the following condition.
Source : Oracle 10 g and Oracle 9i
We need to select the data from Oracle 10g and insert into Oracle 9i database.
Here we not allowing to create database link and also not allowing to create view or materialized view
because this two database is not on same network.
So we developing the small java application on intermediate server where we write process to get the connection of this two database servers.
From java application we call the procedure for selecting data from Oracle 10g and insert into oracle 9i database.
What is the best way to achieve?
Or You also suggest any other way to achieve
( As per this scenario materialized view is working ? )

Thanks freiser,
But it create another problem as per my business logic, There will be two database server , one is online server where online user fill the form which is generated by java, spring , hibernate and using database 10 g.
at day end i need to execute a process that transferring data from online server to offline server that is in oracle database 9i. This process is scheduled. Some security reason client do not kept this two database on same network.
My challenge is that transfer data from online server to offline server with applying client security norms.
I have option like
1) Using Oracle replication method, creating materialized view on remote server , refreshing it at regular interval. but database connectivity is not contineous, should i go for that ?
2) Write java application on intermediate server where we write process to get the connection of this two database servers. From java application we call the procedure for selecting data from Oracle 10g and insert into oracle 9i database and using flag on both data to identified how many rows are transfered and how many remaining for trasfer.
Please tell me what is best way to acheive this ?

Problem with date format from Oracle DB

Hi,
I am facing a problem with date fields from Oracle DB sources. The date format of the field in DB table is 'Date base type is DATE and DDIC type is DATS'.
I mapped the date fields to Date characters in BI. Now the data that comes to PSA is in weird format. It shows like -0.PR.09-A
I have changing the field settings in DataSource to internal and external and also i have tried mapping these date fields to text fields with out luck. All delivers the same format.
I have also tried using conversion routines like, CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT to change format. It also delivers me the same old result.
If anybody of you have any suggestions or if anybody have you experienced such probelms, Please share your experience with me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Varada

Thanks for all your reply. I can only the solutions creating view in database. I want some solution to be done in BI. I appreciate if some of you have idea in it.
The issue again in detail
I am facing an issue with date fields from oracle data. The data that is sent from Oracle is in the format is -0.AR.04-M. I am able to convert this date in BI with conversion routine in BI into format 04-MAR-0.
The problem is, I am getting data of length 10 (Output format) in the format -0.AR.04-M where the month is not in numericals. Since it is in text it is taking one character spacing more.
I have tried in different ways to convert and increased the length in BI, the result is same. I am wondering if we can change the date format in database.
I am in puzzle with the this date format. I have checked other Oracle DB connections data for date fields in BI, they get data in the format 20.081.031 which will allow to convert this in BI. Only from the system i am trying creating a problem.
