Data source | Clarification Required

hi,
I have created a report in CR designer using oracle as datasource.
Now i need to add other datasource like text files or excel or xml.
I can able to create report using it in CR designer.
When i launch it in CR viewer it was throwing unexpected DB connector error.I am using CR4E
Is there any way to use additional datasources?

Crystal Report for Eclipse, is a pure java product which requires you to use a java database driver. I don't know if we have a list of which drivers are java based, but many aren't.

Create two or more flash files from one (Excel) data source

Hi experts,
I have the following requirement about Xcelsius.
Our data source is a relational database. Via the ODBC driver we manage to create several queries and execute them into Microsoft Excel. Those excel sheets are the basic for the Xcelsius reports.
Now we want to build some highly visualized reports on that, but the crucial fact is. We don't want to have all the reports in one FlashFile, but we need several flash file depending on the area of the queries.
Hence our requirement would be one of the following points:
- create multiple flash files from one .xlf
- create multiple .xlf from data source
Another requirement is the automatic execution of the process. We don't want to have a person in between, who has to call all the .xlf files to create the Flash reports step by step. What we need is an automatic process.
Can this requirement be fulfilled in a way?
Maybe by using the Xcelsius SDK?
Thanks for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Sebastian,
Firstly talking about the important requirement i.e. automating the process:
In your case you can achieve this by using the XML maps. This will pick the data automatically when ever report is refreshed.
Secondly, both the approaches are correct, however i would go with the first one.
1. Create multiple flash files from one .xlf
You just need to create one dashboard and have a filter on areas (Invisible) and then export to flash (for every area).
2. Create multiple .xlf from data source
This approach is also fine, however you need to create multiple dashboards and do the same thing i.e filter data based on area.
P.S. Did you get a chance to explore options to integrate Xcelsius with your Relational Database, this will be much effective.

Dear frnds
                Thanks for all the guidance
here i has checked all the possibility with standard data sources but requirement is typical which out put will bw in four levels
1st level,2nd level ,third level and 4th level informations has to be provided.
when i check for the same level of information from the data sources this is stored in 5 data sources still one field like kbetr is not incuded.
These are the scenarios which i observed from the requirement.
any how i has asked abappers help in creating function module they are on process right now.
Thanks for who has suggested me.

Avoiding Rebuild of RPD for Change in Physical Layer Data Source.

Hi,
I would like to know whether change in physical layer data source will require rebuild of RPD or not.
Previously our client was using excel spread sheet as source of OBIEE 11g RPD for Phase – 1 of the project. Successive work (design of BMM layer, Presentation layer, subject area, design of report and dashboard etc) for that phase is complete on top of that.
Now, they would like to use Oracle database as source in Phase - 2, with the same table and column structure as MS Excel spreadsheet.
We have created connection type of OCI 10g/11g and successfully imported the metadata of the oracle database in the physical layer.
I was thinking whether it is possible to just redirect the source of physical layer from MS Excel to Oracle database, keeping the rest of the components (including BMM layer etc.) intact.
This will be pretty tedious job to rebuild all layers of the RPD again and again for change in the underlying database.
Please advise how this is possible. Many thanks !

I think..we can do some testing
you have created Alias for all tables.
Try checking view data by changing the Source name of any alias table to Oracle Source name in the physical Layer.
Check the datatypes of columns .
If these two are passed we can eliminate rebuilding.
Please post your comments.

Setting up a database as a data source. Is it a requirement?

Am I required to set up my MS Access 2000 database (abcxyy.mdb) as a data source under Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Data Sources in Windows 2000 before I can connect to it using Java or can I set the path to it in my source code? If I can do it via the source code could someone give me an example of doing it that way? Thank you in advance for your help.

OK, I've given you the dukes. Thanks for the link.
If I'd known I was asking about making a "DSN less connection" I would've done a search for it.:)
Can you tell me what DBQ is in the following?:
String url = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\full\\path\\to\\database.mdb";

Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source

Hi All,
I have a Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source. Is there any way to achive it. Other than Resultant set and bring into Model.
Thanks

You can compare stuff in the EL, but I don't think this is what you need.
You can just use Java code in the backing bean class for all the business logic. You can use DAO classes for database access logic. Finally for displaying you can use the JSF tags such as h:outputText.

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

while creating datasource in Reportserver which has Express installed ..
got this error ..
please help me how to connect to remote server

Error message says it all.
With SQL Express, Data source should be local SQL DB.
With SQL Enterprise, Standard, BI edition, you can create Data soruce which are hosted on other servers.

Clarification required on the Sales area data information.

Hi Master's,
As per the standard taxation practice,Tax determination depends upon the Tax liability of a Shipt to Party.
But in a Customer master The Tax classification is maintained in the SALES AREA DATA-BILLING TAB,To my understanding
the Billing Tab data comes from Sold to party.If so how does Billing tab convey the Tax liability of Ship to party.
I am Confused,please let me know in terms of Customer master and Partner types:
1) Which Tabs under the sales data i.e Shipping Billing...come from which Partner.i.e like Sold to party.
(Clarification required on the Sales area data information coming from which Partner functions).
Please suggest,
Thanks

1) Which Tabs under the sales data i.e Shipping Billing...come from which Partner.i.e like Sold to party.
(Clarification required on the Sales area data information coming from which Partner functions).
There is no need of any confusion here
All the tabs and data or fields pertains sold to party only
If for a sold to party say 1001 if he himself is going to be SH and PY and BP then there is no confusion
If for a sold to party say 1001 the ship to party is 1002 and PY is 1003 and bill to party is himself that is 1001
This is what mentioned or assigned in the partner functions of CMR of 1001 in the sales area data
This means there are another CMR lies in the name of 1002 and 1003
Whenever an order comes for 1001 as Sold to party for tax classifications the ship to paty 1002's master record is accessed by the system
System accesses another record for a particular detail (tax details)
Similarly for this customer 1001's order for payment terms 1003's CMR is accessed by the system
System accesses another record for a particular detail ( for terms of payment)
There is no need for any confusion and if you run this in the system with different data you will understand it much better

Dynamic data source on 10g requires valid data source associated in report

I'm currently using the dynamic JDBC data source feature of PublicReportService_v11 in BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 (March 2011 patch applied) and it seems that the BIP report still requires a valid JDBC data source associated with it before the specified dynamic one can be properly used.
Using SoapUI, I tried sending a runReport request with a dynamic JDBC data source for a BIP report that is associated to an invalid/dummy JDBC data source and got the following fault string:
oracle.apps.xdo.webservice.exception.OperationFailedException: PublicReportService::generateReport failed: due to java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon deniedAssociating the BIP report to a valid JDBC data source but different from the specified one on the runReport request does make this feature work - data in the BIP report does come from the specified dynamic JDBC data source. I'm just wondering if this is the right behavior for this feature? It seems a little counter intuitive because you already specified a JDBC data source in the request message which I'm assuming will be used by the report you're requesting instead of whatever is the currently associated data source on the report.

If it is open, then try
Named range: ConsolLink = Range("Consol File.xlsm'!Source_OpexConsol")
And if it is not currently open, then try
Dim W As Workbook
Set W = Workbooks.Open("R:\Root\Sub1\Sub2\Consol
File.xlsm")
Named range: ConsolLink =
Range("Consol File.xlsm'!Source_OpexConsol")
W.Close False

Delta enable custom func mod data source for Delete record also

Hi,
We have a custom function module data source and the base table on which data is extracted has two time stamp fields ( created on, changed on ) and the data source is delta enabled with the timestamp field.
It works aboslutely fine in Full and initial mode and load data into a target ODS.
Even in delta mode we believe that it works in most of the cases( only change of an existing records and creation of new records). However in the case of delete, we have issues. When the data is deleted from the base table we completely loose the record and cant advice the BW which one to delete.
In order to bypass this we have analyzed the cdhdr/cdpos table and found out that that we can compute the Key field value that was deleted from the last delta run and can include it as such in the data that are extracted.
Big Question is by what mechanism we let the BW know that this is a delete, so that the existing record( with the same key) is actually deleted from the ODS. I have seen some fields like 0RECORDMODE doing things in SAP delivered content. But not sure how we can get this work for our custom data source.
Please let us know whether you need any clarification on this. I shall be prompt to provide points who can resolved this showstopper issue for us.
Thanks

Hi Aruna,
I have tried to explain : "Big Question is by what mechanism we let the BW know that this is a delete"
Now to create a DataSource, you will have to include the information from the Tables as you mentioned:
1: CDHDR
2: CDPOS
In this table you can check the CHANG_ID as the field which gives the information of
1: Overwrite
2: Add
3: Delete
Now when you create the Function Module, make a field similar to this and read the R/3 Table field CHANGE_IND and pass the relevant Indicators to the BW in the Transfer Rules
Like
CDHDR refers 'D' for delete but In BW 'R' denotes Deleted image. So the FM should take care this and pass the blank for all and 'R' for the documents with 'D' for each line item along with the other required fields.You will have to use an ODS in this case.
note: Plz check the logic of Change Ind "E". I am not sure of this type.if you want to delete 'E' then pass the value as 'R' to the BW system for documents with 'E' CHANGE_IND.
Hopes i made it clear.
regards
Happy Tony

Error while creating a new report data source in Sharepoint Document library

I installed SSRS(sql server 2012 SP1) in my sharepoint 2013 farm(single server installation).
I have installed SSRS addin for report also.
I created a document library and included the report data source content type, report builder report and report builder model content types. On click of any of these content types i get the below error.
"new Document requires a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application and web browser. To add document to document library, click on the 'Upload' button."
I am using windows 7 64-bit operation system with Google chrome and IE 8 64 bit.
Any help would be appreciated.

Rakesh, is this an SSRS question?
This doesn't look like Power View.

Best practice data source from ECC 6.0 for legal consolidation in BPC NW7.5

Hi there,
after scanning every message in this forum for "data source" I wonder if there isn't any standard approach from SAP to extract consolidation data from ECC 6.0. I have to say that my customer is not using New g/l so far and therefore the great guide "how to get balances from ECC 6.0 ..." does not fully work for us.
Coming from the old world of EC-CS there is the first option to go via the GLT3 table. This option requires clever customization and the need to keep both GLT0 and GLT3 in line. Who has experiences regarding maintenance of these tables in a production environment?
We therefore plan to use data source 0FI_GL_4 which contains all line items to the financial documents posted. Does this approach make sense or will it fail because of performance issues?
Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Dierk

Hi Dierk,
Do you have a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor? Normally I would recommend going for the basic 0FI_GL_6 extractor, which provides a much more manageable data volume since it only gives the periodic activity and balances as well as a much smaller selection of characteristics. Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0a/558cabb2e19a4db3097b81bba4fd0e/frameset.htm]
Despite this initial recommendation, every client I've had has eventually had a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor (or the New G/L equivalent - 0FI_GL_14). Most BW systems can handle the output of the line-item extractors without much issue, but you should test using production data and make sure your system sizing takes into account the load.
The major problem you can run into with the line-item extractors is that if your delta somehow gets compromised it can take a very long time (days, sometimes weeks) to reinitialize and this can cause a large load in your ECC and BW system. Also, for the first transport to production, it is important to plan time to initialize the delta.
