Data Federator - View Data in DF

Hi,
Can we view data in Data Federator if data source is SAP BW

Tried. However what parameter supposed to be entered. should it be I_RFC_DEXTINATION ?

Data Federator Universe Date Functions

Hi,
I created a Data Federator Universe from target tables (Source Tables from: Sql Server 2005 and Oracle 10g). Now, I want to create a object in the universe: "Days between 2 dates"(coming from 2 different target tables). I don't see any other date functions other than CURDATE(). How to create my object?
Alternatively, Can I create a caliculated column in the existing target table? For Example, I want to create a new column "Days between 2 Dates" from 2 different tables by using a formula in Default mapping of the target table.
Thanks & Regards,
Peter

Hi Amit,
Thanks for your reply.
Ok. So, Universe on top of Data Federator has limited functionality.
And, other option you mentioned is on report level. I am creating an adhoc universe and I have few objects which will calculate days between 2 dates coming from 2 different tables.
But, how can I achieve this on Data Federator level. I have no function there to find Days Between 2 dates. I see lot of time and date functions but not the one I required. Also, I added a column in the target table and tried to apply the formula there in the default mapping area. But, I see only the selected target table. I need another date column from another table, which is not displayed in the default mapping area.
How can I achieve this?

Hi
well that makes sense, I did't see the transport files you mentioned in the Transport Queue in the
ERP system.
But, in KB 1971036 it is explained that the newer transport files should be imported from
OSS Note 1916294 after deleting the functions /BODS/BODS. (see attachment)
Do you think I should import first the transport files from the Admin
directory, then reimport those from note 1916294 or not ?

VMware Fusion with Oracle Data Integrator - 'View data' problem

I am running ODI and Oracle 10g Express Edition under XP (SP2) under VMware Fusion (Beta 3) on a Macbook Pro. (Already lost interest??)
The packaged demo works fine..
I have created a set of tables with 10g and set up the ODI environment - physical & logical schemas, KMs etc. No problem. Successfully created reverse-engineered model from the tables. So far, fine.
When I try to view the data associated to the data stores I get error: Execution failed; ORA-00903: Invalid table name.
I have tried using different contexts etc. Obviously, the reverse engineering process can 'see' the tables..
Any advice please?
Many thanks, Steve.

Hi,
I tried to install the essbase driver adapter on ODI, but I can't connect to Essbase using topology manager. Anyone know about essbase drivers for ODI. I used ODI 10.1.3.4.
Thanks all.

Unable to view Data Analysis in Project Server 2007

Hi,
I am currently using Project server 2007. One of our PM is not able to view Data Analysis information which are available to other PM.
It says 'The query cannot be processed. Either the user doesn't have access to Analysis service Database or the database doesn't exist"
We checked the following.
Tools >
Internet options > Security tab > Click Trusted Sites >
Custom Level > Search for Access data source across domains and its enabled.
Kindly advice. Thanks in advance!

Hi Nathik,
You should also check that the PM in question has not been granted specific permission. If he doesn't have the "View OLAP Data" and "View Data Analysis" permissions, he will not be able to use the data analysis. Also check
that the PWA URL is in the trusted site of IE. Finally press CTRL F5 to clean IE cache. Check also that the OLAP cubes were successfully built.
A good way for you to debug is to use your admin account on his machine to see if it is a permission issue or a IE setting issue.
Hope this helps,

Data Federator: Unioning Multiple Tables into single view possible?

Hi,
I have three different databases with tables containing a portion of the same kind of data and I want to union the three different tables together in Data Federator to present a single logical view that has the complete set of data. Is this possible in Data Federator? How would I go about doing that?
Note: I do not have keys to join the tables together on since it's not simply extending the data in one table with additional data in another table and doing an inner join on a unique key. Instead, for example, there's a customer table for Finance, a customer table for Operations and a customer table for Sales and they all contain the same columns (with maybe slightly different names) and same type of data. I want to effectively union Finance, Operations and Sales together in a federated/virtualized view so applications can just query from that view to get all the customers from the three different databases.
I have been unable to do this so far since Data Federator requires each table in a mapping to have a relationship with the other tables in the mapping.
Thanks for the help.
Kerby

I figured out the original question using one mapping for each table but have a new question now.
Is it possible for an application to use the combined view from Data Federator to write back into the databases?
e.g. have an application use the target table in Data Federator and view the results, and based on that update the data in the underlying database that provides the data for the target table?
Thanks for the help.

Data Federator and Information Design tool

Hi,
First, Can Data Federator be a single data source for Information Design Tool?
Second, from performance point of view, using Information Design tool to build multi-sources Universe or building Universe on Data Federator, which way is better?
Thanks

Hi,
let me explain :
in BI 4.0, the Data Federator Query Server engine is now part of the server-side Adaptive Processing Server .
You only invoke this architecture when you select "Multi Source Enabled" - any other entry point is NOT using the Data Federation Service.
So - if you select SingleSource - that's not using DF.
However, it is entirely possible to select "Multi Source Enabled" then only use 1 connection in the MSU !!
Having said the above, Your second question doesn't make sense.
Unless you mean, using the Data Federator middleware driver in BI 4.0 IDT, to connect to an XI 3.1 Data Federator Query Server? (i.e. consuming the 'old source' in the new enviornment)
This backwards compatibility was delivered to facilitate transition of DF customers, especially since there is no standalone DF product in BI 4.0 (yet)
I trust this is of use to you.

Data Federator not fetching data USING Netweaver BI Connector

Hi Gurus,
We have upgraded the BW system to use the Data federator.
callback ID that SAP NetWeaver BI uses to contact Data Federator has been configured as mentioned in guide.
we have already configured the CONNECTOR and we are able to test the connection in DF Designer and the connection is successful. i am able to see the list of fact tables and i am saving the data source and making it final and deployying my project .
i am using the jdbc connection and data federator strategy and the strategy is also creating the joins and classed automatically. when i export my universe and try to create the webintelligence report i am unable to see the data .even when i execute with one object and one keyfigure it is same .
even when i test my data source in designer to view the data using query tester tool it is also not able show the data it takes huge time and no data getting retrieved .
i would appreciate if you could help me with this issue
Regards and thanks

Data Federator with BW 3.5

Hi Experts,
We are using Data Federator and connected to our Client BW 3.5 Oracle Data base directly.
We were looking to connect to below Cube and Ods tables
InfoProviders Table Names
InfoCube ZSD_BILDP /BIC/EZSD_BILDP, /BIC/FZSD_BILDP
ODS Object ZDP_O04 /BIC/AZDP_O0400
ODS Object ZDP_O03 /BIC/AZDP_O0300
ODS Object ZDP_O02 /BIC/AZDP_O0200
ODS Object ZDP_O01 /BIC/AZDP_O0100
But we are not able to see the above tables in Data Federator and all the tables we are seeing is
SAPBIW.?22FBIO?22fsMAT_ITEM
SAPBIW.?22FBIO?22fsMAT_PLANT
Can you suggest how can I see the Cube and Ods Tables directly in DF Designer???
P.S: I did worked with DF in BI 7.0 with my previous Client and it has got the RSDRI_DF_* Functional Modules in SE37, but to new Client we have requirement to use DF with BW3.5 which is becoming troublesome to get to Cube and Ods tables.

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for responding.
We are directly connecting to BW Oracle Data Base and not the BW/BI integration as we don't have the DF* Functional
Modules present in BW 3.5
Find below couple of Connection Parameters using which I am connecting to BW from DF Designer.

Data Federator XI 3.0 using DB2 VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA Column?

We have a column in a DB2 database that is defined as VARCHAR(16) FOR
BIT DATA.
We are using the suggested IBM JDBC driver, db2jcc.jar, against a DB2
OS/390 8.1.5 version database.
The Datasource column displays a data type of NULL, indicating the DF
does not understand or cannot handle this IBM data type.
We have two issues.
First, target tables are not able to return any columns, regardless if
we exclude columns defined as NULL as mentioned above. We see the
'Wait' animation for a very long time when we use the 'Target table
test tool' option. Selecting to display the count only, returns zero.
We are able to fetch and view non-NULL column data when using the
'Query tool' under the Datasource pane.
I also get the same result when using the 'My Query Tool' in Server
Administrator; a selection agains the sources returns data while
selecting from a target table returns no data. Also, a 'select
count(*)' returns zero.
The second issue is in mapping a relationship between two DB2 tables
where the join is between two columns of the above mentioned type
(NULL).
The error we get back when we use "Show Errors" is "The types
'NULL' (in 'S1.PLANNEDGOALID') and 'NULL' (in 'S2.PLANNDEDGOALID') are
not compatible.". When reviewing the relationship, a dashed red line
appears instead of a solid grey line between the two tables in the
"Table relationships and pre-filers" section of our mapping pane.
The following query returns an error via the Server Administrator
Query Tool; "Types 'NULL' and 'NULL' are not compatible for operator
'=' (Error code : 10248)".
select count(*)
from
(select s1.CASEID, s2.PLANNEDGOALID, s2.NAME, s2.PLANNEDGRPSTTYCD
from "/DF_CMS_ODS/sources/CMFSREPT/CMSPROD.PLANNEDGOAL" AS s1
,"/DF_CMS_ODS/sources/CMFSREPT/CMSPROD.PLANNEDGOAL" s2
where s1.PLANNEDGOALID = s2.PLANNEDGOALID)
Here are the properties settings in the Resource Connector Settings
for jdbc.db2.zSeries we are using.
capabilities: isjdbc=true;orderBy=false
driverLocation: drivers/db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar;drivers/db2jcc.jar
jdbcClass: com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
sourceType: db2
supportsCatalog: no
urlTemplate: jdbc:db2://<hostname>[:<port>]/<databasename>
Here are the Connection parameters as defined for the datasource in DF
Designer.
Defined resource: jdbc.db2.zSeries
Jdbc connection URL: jdbc:db2://DB2D03:50000/CMFSREPT
Authentication: Use a specific database logon for all Data Federator
users.
User Name: x
Password: hidden
Login domain: -- Choose a defined login domain --
Supports Schema: checked
Schema: is empty
Prefix table names with schema name: checked
Supports catalog: unchecked
Prefix table names with the database name: unchecked
Table types: TABLE and VIEW
So, the following is the two questions we require answers for...
Is this a limitation of Data Federator?
Is there a work around short of changing the datatype in the database.

Hi Darren,
The VARCHAR() FOR BIT DATA is a binary data type and Data Federator does not support binaries. But if in your case, it makes sense to map this column to a VARCHAR data type you can configure the DB2 connector to view this column as a VARCHAR.
Your column can be mapped explicitly to a data type of your choice using a property: castColumnType.
This property can be set updating the resource you selected when you registered you DB2 data source.
If the resource is "jdbc.db2", then:
1. Launch Data Federator Administrator
2. Click on "Administration" tab
3. Click on "Connector Settings"
4. Select the right resource: "jdbc.db2"
5. Click "Add a property"
6. Select "castColumnType"
7. Set its value to: VARCHAR() FOR BIT DATA=VARCHAR
8. Click on Ok
You should see this column as a VARCHAR.
Regards,
Mokrane
PS: For the target table issue, we have forwarded your mail to the Data Federator Designer team.

Data Federator: Insufficient memory : Operator 'HashJoin' cannot execute

Hi,
I'm using: SAP BusinessObjects Data Federator Designer XI 3.0 Service Pack 3 - 12.3.0.0 (Build 1011241842)
I have a virtual view on top of sql server 2007 and teradata. I am using a view on sql server 2007 that joins against several tables and querying a single table from Teradata.
When I try to query the view I get the error: [Data Federator Driver] [Server] Insufficient memory : Operator 'HashJoin' cannot execute because it cannot allocate the minimal number of memory pages. Please contact the system administrator to change system parameter settings. (0)
This happens when I try to query the view from data federator or from an odbc connection.
I tried playing with the configuration settings for core.queryEngine.hash.maxPartitions and
core.queryEngine.hashJoin.nbPartitions and nothing seemed to work in terms of changing/increasing the numbers. The help guide also gave no help: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexi3SP3/en/xi3_sp3_df_userguide_en.pdf
I was using a very similiar query against a materialized view on Oracle and Teradata before and that worked. But I'd prefer not to have to materialize the view in Sql Server.
Any thoughts as to how this can be fixed?
Thanks,
Kerby

<rant>The strange thing with this forum is no people, really no people, ever do anything to resolve their own problems, even though this forum has a search function, and sites with FAQs and assistance are floating around over the Internet. Why is a mystery, as nobody uses them, and most DBAs only know how to hit copy-and paste, to add to the clutter on OTN again.</rant>
The usual steps to troubleshoot an ora-1031 apply.
This means
- verify whether the local administrator is in the ora_dba group and sqlnet.authentication_services in sqlnet.ora has been set to (NTS)
- in absence of these, there should a password file be present in %ORACLE_HOME%\database, named pw%SID%.ora
These belong to the common documented requirements, and these requirements shouldn't be repeated everywhere.

View data in client B from client A in the same SID without a valid logon?

Hi Folks
We are planning on upgrading our 4.6C system to ERP 6.0, and are initialy considering having two clients in the same sandbox SID. One would be for the developers to perform code remediation checks (client A), and one would contain a copy of production data for performing testing of functionality over live data (client B).
Would it be possible to view data in client B from client A in the same system without a valid logon to client B or RFC connection to client B from client A? For example via the use on an ABAP program to SQL the database?
I know one can use transactions like SM30/SM31 to view, compare, and adjust data between clients, but this requires an RFC connection and valid logon to the target client.
Regards
Kevin.

Short answer: yes.
If someone has the right to write and execute ABAP reports on the system he is able to access the data of all clients. So I don't think that this setup is advisable. Don't mix development and production data in one system.

Can't view data in IT302 - Additional Actions

Hi Gurus,
I cannot view any data in IT302 using Ad Hoc Query.
Correct infoset was set up which include Additional actions infotype.
IT302 was also properly set up in t77S0> ADMIN-EVSUP set to 1.
And in T529A all Actions set to be updated in IT302.
There are also Additional Action entries in table PA0302 but when I search it in Ad Hoc Query for a personnel number the fields (Action Type, Reason) turn up blank.
Do I still have to make other configurations?
Any ideas?
Kindly help.
Points will be given out
Thanks,
Olekan Babatonde

I was in the need of getting the output based on Additional actions, and was able to figure out the way as how to do it., I am writing this here not that you would still in need but some one in future might come to this thread and get away with the answer.
1. First we need to add Infotype 0302 to our infoset (Going toSQ02, Menu bar, Edit -> Change infotype selection.
2. Once you have the infotype under the Data fields.
3. Try adding each individual field under the field group/data fields by right clicking on the necessary infotype field and selecting Add field to Field group.
4. Once you got all your IT0302 fields under field group/data fields right side of the window, save your infoset and run the infoset query.
5. Now you have the input fields and output fields to be selected from infoset query.
6. Select input fields as Pernr, and action start date and end date from IT0000
7. Select output fields from 0302 infotype fields, you may select all the necessary fields in the output, but the required one is "Counter Field"
8. Once you have your hitlist from the ad hoc query, refresh the list from bottom of the screen and picks up all the ones who have the counter field as 1 - they are the ones, who has additional actions on specific date.
Hope it helps to the viewers.
Warm Regards!
