Data Federator - Hierarchies and Text Descriptions

Hi,
I am trying to create WEBI reports on the top of SAP BW. The universe is connecting to SAP BW via Data Federator. I am facing issues with the hierarchy creation. The hierarchies created in the InfoProvider (Multicube - from CRM data source) are not available in the Universe. I can't create the hierarchies in the universe as all the levels of the hierarchy are not available in the multicube. I need to get the hierarchy data from the CRM data source directly. But the valid sources for DF with respect to SAP BW are just cubes. Kindly let me know if there are any workarounds. Please let me know if more details are needed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi
Officially SAP BW hierarchies are not suppoerted for the Data Federator (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/LeveragingDataFederatorinSAP+integrations). What you can do is to use also the SAP R/3 connector (SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence Reporting for SAP ERP [original link is broken] .Note this is prototype not a product) and fetch your CRM data also in the virtual tables of the DF. Still you have to rebuild your hierarchies manually in the universe.

Extracting PAGEID and Text Description from Statistics cube

Hi SDN Community,
Can anyone please confirm that the following approach to extract the PAGEID and its text is the only way to do so:
As i cannot find the PAGEID field in any of the 0BW* statistics cube, we will create an infoobject and add it to one of the cubes.
Then Map PAGEID from RSDDSTAT to Field: OBJID from Table RSZWOBJTXT
(This mapping between the tables RSDDSTAT and RSZWOBJTXT can then be used to retrieve the web page description from the field TXTLG)
Thank you for your assistance.
Simon

The PageID is not in the statistics cube

HT1212 I can not remember my passcode on my iphone 4s. I tried it 5 times told me to try again in 60 minutes. Will I lose all my photos, data, contexts and texts if I try again. Or is there a way to restore it? I do not have an icloud or itunes account.

I can not remember my passcode on my iphone 4s. I tried 5 times. Told me to try again in 60 minutes. Will i lose my data, contacts, photos and texts if I enter it incorrectly again?

I believe if you really cant remember it, you can restore your phone by plugging it into itunes. This would wipe your data, but hopefully you've already backed up your phone via iTunes or iCloud.

Hi addie,
you require a driver which you can download from website and place it in the following directory
E:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Data Federator 12\LeSelect\drivers
and then you can add the data source in data federator designer and you can click on Microsoft >MS SQL SERVER>JDBC and give the parameters and you are connected

Hi Sivam
You cannot delete catalog from DF admin tool,
to delete the catalog ,
   1.go to <DF_Install_Directory>\Leselect\wd
   2.you can find wd's deployed there, just delete the project which you want to delete.
   3. Go back to Admin tool and see if the project is deleted or not.

Data Federator: Access Text file from secured Network Share or Sharepoint?

Hi,
I am using BusinessObjects Data Federator Designer XI 3.0 Service Pack 2 - 12.2.2.0 (Build 1002172322) and I'm new to DF.
I am trying to use the Text File Datasource type to connect to a file on a secured Network Share and from a Sharepoint 2010 document repository. Is this possible?
I am currently able to use the Text File datasource to read a file from a public network share (
share\public\folderpath\file) or on the local federator machine using the "Local File" connection but cannot put in a username/password for accessing a secure network share. Is there a built in DF username/password that should be granted access to the share?
Neiher the FTP File System or SMB Share seemed like it would work here either.
For the Sharepoint connection, I know that I can make a webservice on a list and connect DF to the webservice, but I want to just connect to the document repository. I was unable to get this to work even with Sharepoint repositories using WebDav since the Local File method did not accept the url string (http://mysite.<org>.com/personal/<user>/Shared Documents). Is there any way to do this without having to change the way the file is exposed on the Sharepoint side?
How is this normally handled? Put the files on a unsecured network share or on the DF server? Import the files into a DB and just use DB connections?
Finally, is there a way to import XLS/XLSX files in DF or only CSV files? I saw DI has an Excel Adaptor but didn't see anything for DF and when I tried it either could not retrieve the XML schema or reading the file's data failed.
Thanks alot for the help.
Kerby

Bump, any help here with Data Federator usage? Sharepoint, XLS files, or using secured network share?

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

How are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?

Hello,
how are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?
Most tables with attribute master data like T001 for company codes,
have a text master data table T001T (add "T" to table name).
When looking at the content of table T001 via transaction se11,
the text are automatically joined.
But for some tables there is no "T"-table (e.g. table TVBUR for sales offices
has no text table TVBURT), but in se11 you get texts. There is an address
link in TVBUR, but the Name1, etc. are empty.
a) Where are the text stored?
b) How does the system know of the link?
Hope someone can help!
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas
The master and text table are not linked by name, of course, if you see the text table, it has the same key fields of master table, only it has the field key spras and the field for description.
The link beetween the tables is done by foreign key: if you check the text table TVKBT u need to see how the foreign key for field VKBUR is done:
-> Foreing key with table TVBUR
-> Foreing key field type -> KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE
->Cardinality-> 1-:CN
It's very important the attribute sets for Foreing key field type, if it's KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE, it'll mean the table is a text table: i.e. that mean the master table is a check table for the text table, where the foreign key type is for text table.
U can find out the text table of master table by SE11: GoTo->Text Table
U can fined some information in table DD08L.

Error loading master data attr and text for 0material

Hi gurus,
I am new to BI, I am getting an error RSDMD- 194 when i am loading 0MATERIAL_ATTR and TEXT.
It is showing for nearly 100 records in the error stack.
Can anyone explain some basics,
1) why do we need to add 0MATERIAL to a particular Info area to start loading its ATTR and TEXT
2) Are the info objects that appear in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL the same as the fields of 0MATERIAL_ATTR datasource, basically what i don't understand is are we mapping the 0MATERIAL_ATTR datsource fields to the info objects appearing in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL info object.
3) Also when i added 0MATERIAL to my Info Area , there were some extra info objects that got in, are there any dependent objects that get added ?

Hi,
"Error RSDMD- 194 when i am loading 0MATERIAL_ATTR and TEXT.RSDMD- 194"
Please check if there is any external characterstic in those 100 records, correct it and load again.
1) why do we need to add 0MATERIAL to a particular Info area to start loading its ATTR and TEXT
It does,t matter where the 0Material is. Info area in kind of Folder to easily locate and put the all the related objects at one place.
2) Are the info objects that appear in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL the same as the fields of 0MATERIAL_ATTR datasource, basically what i don't understand is are we mapping the 0MATERIAL_ATTR datsource fields to the info objects appearing in the attributes tab of 0MATERIAL info object.
If it is a business content infosource, it will automatically map the attribute to data source field. If you are modifying or creating your own object, you should map it manually based on field name and description.
3) Also when i added 0MATERIAL to my Info Area , there were some extra info objects that got in, are there any dependent objects that get added ?
If you will move any objects all the compounded objects will also come to the info area.

Master data and text

hi ,
I have a Info Object (IO) called AA.
This AA has a Compounding Character CostCenter and Controlling Area.
I have created my own extractors in the R/3 side seperately for Attribute and Text.
When i pull in the Attr and Text extractor :
they both form 2 diff rows / records in the MAster data Table.
And i am hoping to get the attr and the descript in the same line.(that s the normal way -rigth ??)
Is it Due to Compounding ??
If so In the Transfer Structure for Text,
I have linked Costcenter , AA and AA's description.
Thanks,
GG

Hi GG,
When creating a compoundig infoobject at the database level system with create a table with Compounding primary keys. IN this example we have COSTCENTER, CONTROLLING AREA AND AA as a Compunding primary Key. So we need to see that the Text and Attributes loaded with same keys (ie COSTCENTER, CONTROLLING AREA AND AA) otherwise will be shown as two diff records.
Ex: Attr
COSTC     CA    AA         attr
1000000 1000   10001       Attr1
Text
AA      Text
10001    text1
will be shown as diff records because these two have diff primary keys.
Let me know if you need more info.

Varma

Master data Key and text

hi all ,
we are facing the problem with the master data where if i execute the query and used the master data as characteristi, it dispay key and text but in the scenario where text is not updated but keys are there. in this case, query dispay key and key as text rather than space.
like
region master
001 - gujarat
002 - maharastra
003 -
it display like:
001 - gujarat
002 - maharastra
003 - 003
i want to avoid 003 as text.

Basically, master data text can not be displayed as blank. The reason behind this is,
Lets say tomorrow when user wants to see only text for the same characteristic you mentioned, BEx can not show the value against the blank description. That is the reason, if text is blank the key is copied and displayed in the report.
If you would like to avoid displaying key as text, then try putting a space or . (dot) manually in the text data and save. That would eleminate this text shown as 003.

How to Load Master data text Description into the Data Target?

Hi,
I have a Master data which is an ID, and the description for that ID is added as text description along with the master data.
The datasource is a flat file load, which has both the fields i.e. ID as well as the description along with many other fields.
I need to load the flat file without changing it, into the ODS.
Please suggest a way to load the description of the ID along with the ID into the ODS, and then further into the CUBE.
This description field should be available, while checking the contents of the ODS as well as the CUBE.

hi Srinivas,
Thanks for the quick response.
I actually have the flat file with the description within it.
I cannot make any changes to the flat file.
So, please suggest me accordingly.
