Data Sources , Data Providers to a Single WebI Report

Hi Guru's ,
I am a newbie..!! I am going through the documents related to a creation of WebI Report and got to know that we can combine two or more data sources (or) two data providers(Queries) in creation of a single WebI Report . However,I am still confused with this incoming stuff for creating a WebI Report .
Could some one explain me what type of combinations can give as an input for creating a WebI report ?
For example, one can link two or more queries and create a single report by using merge dimension concept !! If so, Will WebI accept data coming from 2 different universes, data coming from 2 or more different data sources like SQL data and SAP ecc ?
Please explain this as I am new to this !!

Hi
Common in the sense relevant data in the two objects with same data type.
See chapter 24 in the attached pdf more on merge dimension and how it will work in webi.

How adding a data source-data destination inside SSIS 2012-SSDT

Hi,
I need to see inside a SSIS 2012 project a new SSIS installed component but in the SSDT 2010 I cannot see the SSIS Data Flow Items tab for adding data source/data destination respect to the choose toolbox items pane:
It seems a SSIS bug.
Any helps to me, please?
Thanks

Hi,
In SQL 2012 you are no longer required to manually pick the tasks and components you want to use. You have to select from the new custom SSIS Toolbox to use the additional components you need.

Multiple Universes (based on SAP BI Query) & single WebI Report

Hi,
We build OLAP Universes on SAP BI Queries. One of the ways to consume multiple universes in a single WebI report is to "add query" from another universe into the same WebI page / another WebI tab for the report.
Is there a possibility to pick and choose fields from different Universes (based on SAP BI Queries), into a single WebI report ... of course respecting their technical linkage.

Rajesh K Sarin

Hi Ingo,
We have created multiple subject Area Universes (based on SAP BI Queries). Is there a possibility to select a particular object from one of the Universe and another object from another Universe into the same grid eg. Notification Number from Work Management Universe (SAP BI Query based on Customer Service Data Flow / Multiprovider) and Invoice Number from Invoicing Universe (SAP BI Query based on Invoicing Data Flow / Multiprovider). Common aspects for both of these could be say a Customer Account Number.
As per my understanding, we cannot do this if we have created Universes on SAP BI Queries.
Nearest possible option is to display two tables on the same WebI report - one from Work Mgmt Universe and other from Invoicing Universe.
Please guide.

Multiple schemas to be used for a single webi report

Hi,
Recently i got one requorement.as per the requirement i need to develop a single webi report in which i have to display the data from 7 schemas.i am using the BO XI R 3 version.
Is there any options available to achieve this?
Please provide me your suggestions how better we can implement this?
Regards,
Kishore.
Edited by: NandaKishore A.V on Sep 9, 2011 3:46 PM

Okay then pleace check this:
1. IN every universe (schema) has to be one or more dimensions wich are equal to other dimensions(keys) in the other universes(schemas) .
2. There are 7 universes (1 per schema)
If this is fine then:
1. Create a documet with the first universe
2. select all needed objects and what else you need to define
3. use the Add Query button to add another query from the second universe
4. select all needed objects and and what else you need to define form the second universe
5. repeat step 3 and 4 until you are at the seventh universe
6. run queruies
7. when the dimensons from the 7 queries are not automatily merged. you have to merge them by hand, this could be done by the merge dimensions button in edit Report panel. There you have to move together the dimensions which are keys.
8. Now you can display in one table the merged dimensions and all measures. If there are not megred dimensions, which should also be displayed in the table. Is the solution du put them into a variable which is definded as measure and has a measure function like this example =max([Name])
I hope you unstand what i mean, because of my bad english

Data of measure is not seen in webi report when drill is disabled

Hi
i have created a hierarchy in universe on which i drill down in webi reports
the problem is that i have drilled my report till the last level and saved it
the object on which im drilling is set as a section in the report
so i have added a measure in the table under that section
now the measure has different value at different level of drillings
i.e for the last level of the drill i use one measure and after that as i drill up i use different measure
for all other level of drilling
every thing is working fine but the problem is
when i open report in view mode
the measure data is not seen
only when i enable drill the measure data is seen
i have done something like thi
i have used drillfilters in webi reports for checking which level we are in drill mode so as to display the measure value based on drill level

Seems like DrillFilters needs the drillmode to work fine..
why don't save the report with the drill button enabled?

Forms clause query data source data block in oracle forms

Hello experts,
I am new in oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic 10.3.5 at windows 7.Through googaling I know how to create a database block,forms clause data block and stored procedure based datablock in oracle forms.I want to know that as in case of Database based datablock, could we commit form either on editing records or on insertion or deletion in data block.
I tried this but got error frm 40501.If we can perform editing and creation in such type of datablock then please tell me how.
Thank You,

aaditya

When I base my datablock on a query using the "From Clause" property of the block query data source in the oracle Forms 6i,
I get the strange error
"ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword"
The query I see in the Display Error in Help Menu is
SELECT DAY_NUMBER,CONSULTANT_ID,EVENT_ID,EVENT_NUMBER,SESSION_NUMBER,HOURS_UNPAID,HOURS_PAID,PAPERWORK FROM (EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT) WHERE (CONSULTANT_ID=:1)
What should I do now?????? Please remove the brackets () from the table name.
Instead of (EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT) use
EVENT_ASSIGNED_CONSULTANT

How to restrict "insert new data source" in Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office report

Hi Experts,
There is a requirement in my current project: when an end user access a Analysis, edition for Office Report from BI platform, they can view and refresh the report. But users should not be able to add new data source in that Analysis Report. As per my understanding, that means "insert data source" button should remain disable for the user.
I have check all available access levels from CMC, but cannot find any. It will be great if you let know correct access level in CMC for the same.
Any comments/recommendation will be appreciated.
I am using BOXI4.1 SP3 version with Microsoft Office 2013.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Animikh Chaudhury

The answer from our account manager is that there is only one license model for AO - which means every user is able to refresh, navigate, use planning functions and add source data (whith the standard license). Adding a DS is not really more then navigation because you can build a Query with all key figures and characteristics of a cube which gives you flexibility. That makes sense because there are no authority checks installed from SAP to avoid this (maybe this is different in combination with HANA and workspaces) .
Futhermore SAP has no possibility to measure how many users are doing which functions instead of recording every action of every user. But where should they do it? You could use it with BO or with Netweaver or in mixed Environments. The BO license check is done on BO platform and there you have no possibility to create new users which you need for connection (I'm not sure how this is monitored in a pure BW Environment without BO).
Furterhmore another possibility to add new data is using vba. You don't really need the buttons from the menu.

Data Source Data Block (REPORT) property. What for?

Hi,
I've seen this property in the report object, but I've never seen it used anywhere.
It lets you chose one of your blocks, but I have no idea what use is this and online help doesn't help, as it goes with this description:
For report/form integration, specifies the data block to be used as the source of the report as either Null or a block name.
What is this for?

Thanks, but, could you elaborate a bit?
Supose I've got an emp tabular form. Then I have a report with this feature. What do I "see" from the report side?

No data in generated document/web service data source/complex response type

I can define a report with a template with the BI Publisher server and the Template Builder Desktop plugin. When I use an sql statement as data source the preview functionality in Word and in the browser (logged in to the server) results in a correct report, with the correct data from the data source.
When I use a web service as a data source I can still generate and preview reports but no data from the data source is visible in the reports. However this data is available in the Template Builder plugin in MS-Word.
How do I know this ? When I try to insert a field from the data source into my rtf template the plugin shows a screen with the available fields. Or actually, the screen shows all fields returned by a dummy call to the web service. When I click on a field it shows the value returned by the web service just after the test "Example". I have set up my web service such that it always returns the same response.
The field I want to show is in a repeating record, but it does not make a difference when I surround it by a group:
<?for-each-group:/getValidationGroupsResponse/body/validationGroupList/validationGroup[1];./name?><?name?><?end for-each-group?>
Neither does looping over all fields display any data:
<?for-each-group:/getValidationGroupsResponse/body/validationGroupList/validationGroup;./name?><?name?><?end for-each-group?>
The fact that the response of my web service data source contains repeating records might be different from what others have tested so far.
I also found two other features when defining reports. I mention them here because they could be related to my problem. When I define two data source for my report, a web service and an sql query then only the fields from the sql query are visible in MS-Word/Template Builder. Even when the Data Model specifies the web service as "Main Data Set". And the "Default data source" is always a database even when the Data Model only defines a web service as "Data Set".

Unfortunately I can not test against a public webservice and follow the examples in the tutorials, since BI Publisher does not seem to offer any proxy configuration to connect to the internet.
My local webservice returns the following data, visible when viewing the report from the backend, when no template has been defined yet:
<ns2:getValidationGroupsResponse xmlns:ns2="amsterdam/wabo/services/data/validationOperations" xmlns="amsterdam/wabo/services/data/common">
<ns2:responseHeader>
<resultaatcode>OK</resultaatcode>
</ns2:responseHeader>
<ns2:body>
<ns2:validationGroupList>
<ns2:validationGroup>
<ns2:name>testgroep1</ns2:name>
<ns2:caption>kop1</ns2:caption>
<ns2:description>Voor testen ontvankelijkheidstest 1</ns2:description>
</ns2:validationGroup>
<ns2:validationGroup>
<ns2:name>testgroep2</ns2:name>
<ns2:caption>kop2</ns2:caption>
<ns2:description>Voor testen ontvankelijkheidstest 2</ns2:description>
</ns2:validationGroup>
</ns2:validationGroupList>
</ns2:body>
</ns2:getValidationGroupsResponse>
After defining the template, the values of the first group are visible in MS-Word as well, as example values.
I put the the template in a public place:

Just in case you need the wsdl as well:

How to design crystal report with web service data source?

I want to design and run a Crystal Report 2008 against my ADO.NET DataSet from web service method.
I choose New Report, for Data I choose XML, then "Use Web Data Source" hit next, then choose "HTTP WSDL URL" I enter http://localhost/RDWS/Service.asmx?wsdl, hit Next, I leave HTTP username and HTTP password blank. Then I see the Services, Ports and Methods screen. Services: Service, Ports: ServiceSoap, Methods: CustomerOrdersDataSet
When I click Finish, I get Logon Failed, Details, Schema file is invalid. error:Element Schema@htttp://www.w3.or/2001XMLSchemal not found.
How can I get this to work?

The native XML driver is incompatible with ADO.NET DataSet XML. The specific issue is that the driver cannot handle the recursive definition on "Schema" that the .NET DataSet XML uses.
The workaround is to create a .NET class that Web References, invoke the Web Service method for the DataSet, then returns it.
Use the ADO.NET (XML) driver in Crystal Report to consume the .NET data source.
Note - when you deploy your report, ensure you deploy the DLL for the .NET class you've created.

Ted Ueda

Using DAO using a JDBC data source with struts

Hello,
I have created a number of Data Access Objects and Transfer Objects to use in a non EJB, struts web application I am developing. I had tested these with a kind of a Service Locator custom class to provide access to a JDBC connection. My custom class is a bit clunky and not very configurable. I would like to use a data source using the struts config XML file e.g.
    <data-sources>
        
        <data-source type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
            <set-property
              property="description"
              value="My MySQL Database Connection" />
            <set-property
              property="driverClassName"
              value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
            <set-property
              property="url"
              value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/databaseName" />
            <set-property
              property="username"
              value="myUsername" />
            <set-property
              property="password"
              value="xxxxxxxxx" />
            <set-property
              property="maxActive"
              value="10" />
            <set-property
              property="maxWait"
              value="5000" />
            <set-property
              property="defaultAutoCommit"
              value="false" />
            <set-property
              property="defaultReadOnly"
              value="false" />
         </data-source>
    </data-sources>This is great, and precisely the kind of thing I would like to use. However, this datasource is only available AFAIK through a HttpServletRequest instance like in the example I found below...
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request,
                                 HttpServletResponse response)     throws Exception
        javax.sql.DataSource dataSource = null;
        java.sql.Connection myConnection = null;
        try {
         dataSource = getDataSource(request);
         myConnection = dataSource.getConnection();
         // do what you wish with myConnection
        } catch (SQLException sqle) {
           getServlet().log("Connection.process", sqle);
        } finally {
           //enclose this in a finally block to make
           //sure the connection is closed
           try {
              if(myConnection != null)
                  myConnection.close();
           } catch (SQLException e) {
              getServlet().log("Connection.close", e);
        return (mapping.findForward("success"));
    }That would be great if I wanted to use the database connection anywhere near a struts Action (wrong tier!). I want access like that to to a data source in my DAOs. Is it possible for me to use the data-sources aproach to access the DB from my DAOs or will I need to use something like JNDI to do this in a similar way but separate from struts. If so I have a big gap in my knowledge as far as JNDI goes which I need to fill and that will be my next question
I'm relatively new to using patterns inn Java and any help or pointers would be great.
Thanks :)

Create a JAAS Authentication Entry in the Server configuration.
This should then appear in the drop-down when specifying your DataSource.
