Data Retrieval in IOS via MBO consuming webservice.

Hi,
Need some solution for this issue . We have this webservice that returns value based on a key "userid" for which we receive a listing of data with column names "Name ,Age,Telephone"
What i have done is created an MBO"GetUserdetails that would consume this webservice.
GetUserDetailsMBO has the following attributes.
+userid
-Name
-Age
-Telephone
where 'userid' is a input.
This works out fine when we use the workflow model and displays the data. I generated the code and used it for my native application, tried findAll , findByPrimaryKey etc . it dint yield any results for me as the output is always null/empty. Can you update me on the steps that needs to be followed to retrieve the data.
How do we ascertain if the import has drawn the actual data from the MBO to the local DB?
Regards,
Vinay

I am able to consume the webservice and make multiple MBO with single call.

How to consume webservices hosted on NW CE 7.31 in Gateway to expose data out as oDATA

Hi Experts,
I have NW CE 7.31 on Java Stack. I have SAP-MDM webservices hosted on the same.
How can I access those webservices in NW Gateway to expose data retrieved as oDATA (e.g for Mobile Apps in UI5) ?
Thanking in advance.

Report Developed in Webi Rich Client Consuming more time in Data Retrieval

Dear All,
I am a BO Consultant, recently in my project I have developed one report in Webi Rich Client., at the time of development and subsequent days the report was working fine (taking Data Retrieval time less than 1 minute), but after some days its taking much time (increasing day by day and now its taking more than 11 minutes).
Can anybody point out what could be the reason?????
We are using,
1. SAP BI 7.0
2. SAP BO XI 3.1 Edge
3. Webi Rich Client Version :12.3.0 and Build 601
This report is made on a Multiprovider (Sales).
What are the important points that should be considered so that we can improve the performance of Webi Reports????
Waiting for a suitable solution.....................

Hi,
Please come back here with a copy/paste of the 2 MDX statements from the MDA.log to compare the good/bad runtimes.
& the 2 equivalent DPCOMMANDS clauses (good and bad) from the WebI trace logs.
Can u explain what u really mean in the bold text above..................Actually I didn't get you..........
Pardon, I have only 3 months experience in BO.

Should I use a data retrieval service or software to recover data ?

Please pardon the length of this post.
Here's the setup for our office:
Computer 1:
10.4.8 OS X
1 GHZ PowerPC G4: silver grey tower, grey apple
1MB L3 Cache
256 MB DDR SDRAM
Computer 2:
10.4.8 OS X
Dual 450 MHZ PowerPC G4: blue grey tower, blue apple
256 MB SDRAM
Computer 3:
10.4.8 OS X
1 GHZ PowerPC G4 IMac Flat Screen:
256 MB DDR SDRAM
I have 2 LaCie Big Disk d2 Extremes daisy chained and connected to the IMac. We use the first to store all of our data to keep our local disks free. The second d2 is the backup to the first. The other 2 computers connect to the d2's via an ethernet hub. The d2's are each partitioned into 4 compartments.
A couple of days ago I started the system up when I got in in the morning, and the main d2 would not open. I ran disk utility, but it said that the drive was damaged beyond it's ability to repair. I ran DiskWarrior, and it gave me this message:
"The directory of disk 'G4' cannot be rebuilt. The disk was not modified. The original directory is too severely damaged. It appears another disk utility has erased critical directory information. (3004, 2176)."
I contacted Disk Warrior tech support and after a series of exchanges that had me send him dated extracted from the terminal function, he said this:
"It appears that the concatenated RAID inside your LaCie
drive has failed (your 500GB drive is actually 2 250GB
hard drives). That is why we only saw 2 partitions
on "disk3". A possible cause could be a failed bridge
in the case.
You may be looking at sending this drive to a data recovery service.
However, it is possible that we may be able to recover data
from the partitions that we CAN see. What we would be doing would cause no damage to your data
unless the hard drives were having a mechanical failure (ie, the
head crashed and was contacting the platters, similar to scratching
a record). But from what I've seen, I don't feel that is the case.
I believe the piece of hardware that 'bridges' the two drives to
make them act as one has failed. that's why we can only see data
about 1 of the 2 drives in the case.
We would only be attempting to gather data off the drive. Since
data recovery services sometimes charge for amount of data retrieved,
it's up to you how you want to proceed."
Most of the data from the past 5 years for our business stands at being lost. Only some of it had been properly backed up on the second drive, due to some back up software issues. I want to do whatever I can to retrieve all of, or at least some of the data. From what the Alsoft technician said, do you think that the data recovery software available to the consumer is going to be robust enough to retrieve at least the data from the one disk in the drive that is recognizable (there are 2 250gig disks in the d2X. Only one is responding at all). If so, do these Softwares further damage the disks? Or should I just send the drive to a data recovery service?
I'd like to try to extract some of it myself via over the counter retrieval software, but I don't know whether to trust these programs?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My 2 cents:
I have used FileSalvage
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
to recover files from damaged disks. It works as advertised, within limits. Some files may be too damaged to recover. More importantly yo get to scan the disk before actually recovering, and it will give you a list of what it thinks it can recover.
My experience was that it recovered approx 85% of the data.
YMMV but they do have a trial.

Consuming webservices using CF8

I recently upgraded to CF8 and I’m not able to consume webservices from my dev edition on my personal PC.
I have tried making my own simple test webservice, but I’m not able to consume them using CF. (I’m able to consume the ws using .Net or Java, but not from CF itself).
I always get the following error:
org.apache.axis.ConfigurationException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Fatal Error: URI=null Line=40: The string "--" is not permitted within comments.
This is the code I’m using:
<cfscript>
wsargs = structnew();
wsargs.proxyServer = "proxy";
wsargs.proxyPort = "8080";
ws = createObject("webservice","http://ws.fraudlabs.com/zipcodeworldUS_webservice.asmx?wsdl",wsargs);
</cfscript>
I know that the WSDL is ok since the WS works in .Net and Java. I also know that I can retrieve the wsdl using
<cfhttp method="get" url="http://ws.fraudlabs.com/zipcodeworldUS_webservice.asmx?wsdl" result="myRes" proxyserver="proxy" proxyport="8080"/>
So why do I get the “The string "--" is not permitted within comments.” error?
I know that
I get the same error for all ws I try to consume from CF, even simple test ws made using CF.
The ws work, because I can consume them using .Net and Java.
CFINVOKE gives me the same error
Thanks,
Olav, Oslo, Norway

Have you tried the other methods of connecting to a webservice?
For instance by tag
<cfinvoke
              webservice="http://ws.fraudlabs.com/zipcodeworldUS_webservice.asmx?wsdl"
              method="post"
              returnvariable="httpResponse">
                <cfinvokeargument name="parameters" value="<xmlToSend>"/>
</cfinvoke>
Or by building up the CFHTTP call directly
<cfhttp
            url="http://ws.fraudlabs.com/zipcodeworldUS_webservice.asmx?wsdl"
            method="post"
            result="httpResponse">
            <cfhttpparam
                 type="header"
                 name="accept-encoding"
                value="no-compression"
             />
            <cfhttpparam
            type="header"
            name="SOAPAction"
            value="http://ws.fraudlabs.com/zipcodeworldUS_webservice"
            />
             
            <cfhttpparam
                type="xml"
                value="#trim( orderXML )#"
                />
        </cfhttp>
I found fiddling around with all three methods of creating a webservice usually results in one that works

Consuming Webservice

Hi Everyone,
-->I want to consume the webservice from government webservice provider and the request will be sent to the service provider from the SAP ERP 4.7C system.
-->We can achieve this scenario by using PI and in this before hitting the service provider the sender(User) should be authorized and if he is authorized only he can hit the service provider.(I have a solution for all this) if he does not have authorization i will tirgger an alert for this.
But my question is :
-->Can we achieve this scenario with out using PI? (In the customers landscape they don't have the PI box and customers are not willing to go with PI) Consuming the webservice and checking the authorizations.......and informing the sender or user to resend the data again?
I also read a blog :/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2004/09/20/consuming-web-service-from-abap
Thanks
Edited by: pavan kumar on Sep 3, 2010 12:33 PM

Technically, yes it is possible to consume webservice without using PI. PI will just ease the monitoring and administration part.
if he is authorized only he can hit the service provider.(I have a solution for all this)
What solution do you have for this? I am sure there should be some way of implementing this in ABAP.

Consuming Webservice(SAP B1if) by PHP SOAP

Hi all,
im newbie in B1if, is this possible consuming Webservice by PHP SOAP. i didnt find any Document or Example for consuming Webservice by PHP. just from Yatsea Li "Consuming B1if Web Services by DotNet". i created webservice just like Yatsea Li did. I am really just trying to find out how to consuming a webservice by php. Can any one point me in the direction of some usable documentation or example for it?
Kind regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
let me summarize:
You don't want to consume an external Webservice with B1if as I assumed first.
Your plan is to consume a Webservice - provided by B1if - with an external PHP based program (such a scenario is described in this youtube video).
So as prerequisite you followed the guidance by Yatsea and did the following:
You created a scenario in B1if using Web Service Inbound, and defined an output in atom0.
You created a test inbound file and tested the scenario in the integration flow
(existing testfile and successful test run is prerequisite to genrate XSD).
You activated the scenario in the setup.
You created a XSD and a WSDL via the B1if Scenario setup.
You used the self-created WSDL for your test with the external program
The Webservices provided by B1if are per default in SOAP format, so you need to handover the following structure:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<root>
</root>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The service method is identified by the root tag of SOAP Request.
Did you already try to consume the B1if Web Service via WFetch or SOAP UI successfully or do you have the same problems as with your PHP application?
Do you have your generated WSDL available?
Best regards
Bastian

HT4528 I have accidentally restored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contacts, photos, and apps. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this to get my contacts and photos back?

I have accidentally retored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contact list, photos and all. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this so I can get my photos and contact list back?

Some accident with all the steps and warning messages provided.
All contacts on your iPhone should be available on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be included with your iPhone's backup which should have been created or updated by iTunes as the first step during the restore process - unless you declined the option.
If you declined the option, the data is gone. If not, restore your iPhone again from the backup that was created or updated before the previous restore.

HI
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)
importing
worker_dest = worker_dest

They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.

What are the methods to migrate data from a legacy system to SAP?
LSMW is used for migrating data from a legacy system to SAP system, or from one SAP system to another.
Apart from standard batch/direct input and recordings, BAPI and IDocs are available as additional import methods for processing the legacy data.
The LSMW comprises the following main steps:
Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files).
Convert data (from the source into the target format).
Import data (to the database used by the R/3 application.
But, before these steps, you need to perform following steps :
Define source structure : structure of data in the source file.
Define target structure : structure of SAP that receives data.
Field mapping: Mapping between the source and target structure with conversions, if any.
Specify file: location of the source file
Of all the methods used for data migration like BDC, LSMW , Call Transaction which one is used most of the time?
How is the decision made which method should be followed? What is the procedure followed for this analysis?
All the 3 methods are used to migrate data. Selection of these methods depends on the scenario, amount of data need to transfer. LSMW is a ready tool provided by SAP and you have to follow some 17 steps to migrate master data. While in BDCs Session method is the better choice because of some advantages over call transaction. But call transaction is also very useful to do immediate updation of small amout of data. (In call transaction developer has to handle errors).
SO Bottom line is make choice of these methods based of real time requirements.
These methods are chosen completely based on situation you are in. Direct input method is not available for all scenario, else, they are the simplest ones. In batch input method ,you need to do recording for the transaction concerned. Similarly, IDoc, and BAPI are there, and use of these need to be decided based on the requirement.
Try to go through the some material on these four methods, and implement them. You will then have a fair idea about when to use which
You can create lsmw for data migration as follows (using session method):
Example for xk01 (create vendor)
Initially there will be 20 steps but after processing 1 step it will reduced to 14 for session method.
1. TCode : LSMW.
2. Enter Project name, sub project name and object name.
Execute.
3. Maintain object attributes.
Execute
select Batch Input recording
goto->Recording overview
create
recording name.
enter transaction code.
start recording
do recording as per ur choice.
save + back.
enter recording name in lsmw screen.
save + back
Now there will be 14 steps.
2. MAINTAIN SOURCE STRUCTURES.
Here you have to enter the name of internal table.
display change
create
save + back
3. MAINTAIN SOURCE FIELDS.
display change
select structure
source_fields->copy fields.
a dialogue window will come .
select -> from data file
apply source fields
enter No. of fields
length of fields
attach file
save + back
4. MAINTAIN STRUCTURE RELATIONS
display change
save + back
5. MAINTAN FIELD MAPPING & CONVERSION RULE
display change
click on source field, select exact field from structue and enter
repeat these steps for all fields.
save+back
6. MAINTAIN FIXED VALUES, TRANSACTION, USER DEFINED
execute
save + back
7. SPECIFY FILES.
display change
click on legacy data
attah flat file
give description
select tabulatore
enter
save + back
8. ASSIGN FILE
execute
display change
save + back
9. IMPORT DATA.
execute
display change
save + back
10. DISPLAY IMPORTED DATA
enter ok, it willl show records only.
back
11. CONVERT DATA
execute
display change
save + back
12. DISPLAY CONVERTED DATA
execute
display change
save + back
13. CREATE BATCH INPUT SESSION
tick keep batch input folder
F8
back
14. RUN BATCH INPUT SESSION.
sm35 will come
Object name will be shown here
select object & process

Query Error Information: Result set is too large; data retrieval ......

Hi Experts,
I got one problem with my query information. when Im executing my report and drill my info in my navigation panel, Instead of a table with values the message "Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration" appears. I already applied "Note 1127156 - Safety belt: Result set is too large". I imported Support Package 13 for SAP NetWeaver 7. 0 BI Java (BIIBC13_0.SCA / BIBASES13_0.SCA / BIWEBAPP13_0.SCA) and executed the program SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN (in transaction SE38), with the object and the value like Note 1127156 says... but the problem still appears....
what Should I be missing ?????? How can I fix this issue ????
Thank you very much for helping me out..... (Any help would be rewarded)

You may ask your basis guy to increase ESM buffer (rsdb/esm/buffersize_kb). Did you check the systems memory?
Did you try to check the error dump using ST22 - Runtime error analysis?

WAD : Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration

Hi All,
When trying to execute the web template by giving less restiction we are getting the below error :
Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration
Result set too large (758992 cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum = 500000 cells)
But when we try to increase the number of restictions it is giving output. For example if we give fiscal period, company code ann Brand we are able to get output. But if we give fical period alone it it throwing the above error.
Note : We are in SP18.
Whether do we need to change some setting in configuration? If we yes where do we need to change or what else we need to do to remove this error
Regards
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
the standard setting for web templates is to display a maximum amount of 50.000 cells. The less you restrict your query the more data will be displayed in the report. If you want to display more than 50.000 cells the template will not be executed correctly.
In general it is advisable to restrict the query as much as possible. The more data you display the worse your performance will be. If you have to display more data and you execute the query from query designer or if you use the standard template you can individually set the maximum amount of cells. This is described over [here|Re: Bex Web 7.0 cells overflow].
However I do not know if (and how) you can set the maximum amount of cells differently as a default setting for your template. This should be possible somehow I think, if you find a solution for this please let us know.
Brgds,
Marcel

Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration

Hi,
While executing query for a given period, 'Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration' message is getting displayed. I had searched in SDN and I had referred the following link:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d047e1a1-ad5d-2c10-5cb1-f4ff99fc63c4&overridelayout=true
Steps followed:
1) Transaction Code SE38
2) In the program field, entered the report name SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN and Executed.
3) For OBJECT, entered the following parameters: BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_MAX
4) For VALUE, entered the value for the size of the result set, and then executed the program:
After the said steps, the below message is displayed:
OLD SETTING:
OBJECT = VALUE =
UPDATE failed because there is no record
OBJECT = BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_MAX
Similar message is displayed for Object: BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_DEF.
Please let me know as to how to proceed on this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply!
The objects are not available in the RSADMIN table.
