DC520 Check Open Data Collection - XML issues

Hello,
I have the problem that if I save DC via XML Shop Floor interface the activity hook DC520 which is attached as PRE_COMPLETE doesn't see the DC and is complaining that the DC for this operation is missing.
From the POD it works without any problems.
Any advice from your side?
Regards,
Kai

Hello Kai,
As it works when using the POD, there must be some data field(s) different in the records saved when using XML - most likely this is because you are missing some tag in your XML that must match for DC520 to find it, so check in the database and in the XML message for:
DC_GROUP_OBJECT / DC_GROUP_BO (including revision)
MEASURE_NAME / PARAMETER_NAME
MEASURE_GROUP / PARAMETER_GROUP
OPERATION_OBJECT / OPERATION_BO
TIMES_PROCSSED

Automatic data collection evaluation issue

We are currently evaluating several automatic data collection applications that we are planning to integrate with our Oracle Applications --- got most of the RFQ constructed using this template, http://www.highjumpsoftware.com/adc/Vertexera062503/
but we want to make sure that all the system integration issues have been accounted for.
Does anyone have any success stories/horror stories about integrating automatic data collection products with the ERP system
Thank you!

How to Check UPL data collection at Solution Manager

Hello,
I had activated UPL data collection as per the document How to Guide –SAP Custom Code Management Usage and Procedure Logging.
I can check UPL data in my managed system by Report “/SDF/SHOW_UPL"
But I am not able to get the same data in Solution Manager by this same repot (/SDF/SHOW_UPL).
When I run this report in solman it show me only Solution manager data.
How I can read Manage System data in Solman? And what are the check point (for both Solman and Manage system) I need to check for ensuring my UPL date collection is working fine.

Set up CCLM and the custom code setup and you will be able to view UPL data that way,

Data Collection job collection_set_2_upload failed

We had a standalone server which was SQL server 2000 R2. I had configued the Data Collection job and uploded the data into our Management Data Warehouse. It had worked fine. One week ago, the standalone server was re-built and
then I found that all 4 jobs didn't work.
collection_set_2_collection
collection_set_2_upload
collection_set_3_collection
collection_set_3_upload
I re-configured both Management Data Warehouse and Data Collection. Now the two collection_set_2_collection and collection_set_3_collection worked fine. However the two collction_set_2_upload and collection_set_3_upload didn't work with an error "the
step did not generate any output". I cleaned up all DataCollectorCache files on the standalone server but the error stayed.
Any idea? Thank you for any kind of suggestion.
Charlie He

Hi Charlie,
Based on my understanding, you configured Data Collection job. Then two upload jobs didn't work with an error "the step did not generate any output". And error also existed after cleaning up Data Collector cache files.
New data cannot be uploaded to the Management Data Warehouse database when one or more Data Collector cache files are corrupted. The corruption may be caused for one of the following reasons:
Data Collector encountered an exception.
The disk runs out of free space while Data Collector is writing to a cache file.
A firmware or a driver problem occurs.
So I suggest you double check if Data Collection cache files are cleaned up completely. For more information, please refer to this kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019126.
If issue persists exist, please check the agent job history to find the error log around the time issue caused. It would be better if you could provide detail error information for our further analysis. About how to check agent job history, please refer

How to enforce data collection

Hi everybody,
how can I enforce data collection at a specific operation? I am using the integrated POD showing the data to be collected in one part of the window. The data collection itself works fine, but it is merely optional. I can complete the operation without a warning.
So, where is the hook or rule that I need to set up in order to check whether data collection has been done before completion of the operation?
Georg

Hello,
Please chec k the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_me52/helpdata/EN/d7/f7f0be3fec4a31bec083a035eb2423/content.htm
this explains activity CT500,
This activity deals with the checking of component, making them as mandatory to assembly etc.
you can change for the CT500 and CT500_RICH activities in Activity Maintenance:
On POD you have to use these activities.
Note: The system executes all code associated with a hook point in the same database transaction. For hook points within POD pushbutton activities, the transaction includes a single pushbutton activity, such as Start (PR500). If the hook point activity fails, the system rolls back, or cancels, the entire transaction. For example, in the figure in Site Level Hook Points, if you associate Check Configuration (CT520) with the POST_START hook point and the components have not been assembled, the system rolls back the Start as well. This is true for all hook points

Check Box data NOT been collected consistently by Acrobat XI Pro

Hi folks
I'm having a real problem with Check Box data not being processed consistently by Acrobat XI Pro.
I've got 140 response forms back - and have processed them in one batch or smaller batches of 50 forms. I can see the various check boxes ticked in the pdf view but on some forms that data does not get exported to the csv or xls. For other forms it works fine.
I've tried various exports, even opening one returned pdf form and exporting that alone. All with the same result.
I'm at a loss to the problem.
The original form is at:
http://www.orchardrevival.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Orchard-Inventory-Survey-form- v2-superceded.pdf
Any pointers would be very welcome.
thanks
Crispin

Thanks for that George.
Corruption: If the file is corrupted, do you know why Acrobat doesn’t report this? There was no indication of an error in this respect.
Method: I have followed your suggestion. Opened ‘BORD0008checkboxissue.pdf’ in Acrobat ProXI. Export as .fdf. Close all files.
Open a blank form in Acrobat Pro XI. Import the fdf file.
Result; The newly filled form is still missing checkbox data. Result file at http://www.orchardrevival.org.uk/?p=798
[ I also exported as xfdf and xml and csv, and looked at these files in a text editor. Neither had the correct checkbox data exported. Therefore I think it is clear that Acrobat Pro XI is not exporting checkbox data for this file to any format]
Does that shed any more light on what might be the problem ?
thanks
Crispin
Background to document: An outline form was created on Word Mac 2008, and then a pdf generated with the Save As pdf in the Word dialogue (which I think may have been an Mac OS based generator).
Then the fillable form was created complete with all 143 fields in Acrobat Pro 8. Then distributed by email. So despite the fillable form being created in Acrobat Pro, the PDF Producer is reported as Mac OSX 10.n.n Quartz PDFContext for all forms. However some of them work, some don’t. Obviously I do not have control over how the forms are filled out there in the wild – even though I’ve asked folk to use Adobe Reader.
I’ve tried processing results with both Acrobat Pro 8 and XI with similar inconsistent results. (a further interesting issue is that the filename stated in the record is incorrect for that record)

Sample XML request for Parametric Data Collection.

Hello Experts,
Can any one please post a Sample XML request for Parametric Data Collection.
Thanks in advance.

Stuart,
I have dealt with the issue you mentioned as a bug with DcGroupRef. In fact, it is not a bug but a misinterpretation of the WS. Those fields you mentioned are a part of Test Plan measurement collection (MeasureGroup and MeasureName fields in particular). However, if you check the database, Test Plan measurement values are collected to a separate table which is not processed by WS at all, however, the WS pushes the data to the table used by DC500. And within this context, DcGroupRef is the must.
I have rectified such situation at one customer by manually adding the values to the incomplete records. They used to collect the data in such way as of ME 5.0 or even earlier by means of Prod XML.
Implementation of WS in 5.2 and 6.0 are completely different, especially taking into account switching to usage of PAPI.
So, it is not a bug but a feature not implemented yet.
And with that, I'm taking over the ticket.
Regards,
Sergiy

Performance Report Manager Data Collection Issues

I have an agent running and collecting data in a circular file.... history.log
Data Collection has failed approximately 6 days ago without warning. I have tried to find out the issue and have not had any success.
If I open the Data Collection Window in PRM I see a Yellow triangle beside the hostname:port.
If you can provide any information as to what to look for, please reply.

history.log may be corrupted. If you run it through ccat to flatten it does it show any recent (i.e. newer than 6 days) entries?
If ccat gives errors then just move it out of the way (i.e. rename it to history.log.busted) and restart your Agent. A fresh log will be created. Give it a couple hours to make a couple flushes of data to your SunMC Server and see if PRM works.

Mike

Hi there,
i have an issue with the lms 4.2 Topology Data Collection. After installation the Topology Data Collection was running normaly, but since first server reload the Topo Data Collect under Inventory > Dashboards > Device Status > Collection Summary is "frozen".

10.1.3 Migration Issue with data-sources.xml

Hi:
Running into lots of migration issues for an application built in 10.1.3 EA, migrating to 10.1.3. production, mostly in the BC project. Here's one: the database connections built in EA were not carried over to prod, so they needed to get re-built. No biggie. But now the data-sources.xml file in the model project has duplicate entries for my data sources. I have tried directly editting that file and removing the duplicates, but when I go to run my application (ADF Faces & ADF BC) JDeveloper hangs. When I abort JDev and re-start it, the duplicate entries are back in data-sources.xml (and yes, I did save the file after making the changes). It seems that the xml file is built dynamically from definitions stored elsewhere. Where is the source? What will I need to modify to get the changes to take?
Thanks.
Johnny Lee

There is new control over when/whether JDeveloper add/updates your data-sources.xml file for the embedded server. The settings are located here:
Tools | Embedded OC4J Server Preferences | Current Workspace | Data Sources
There are some settings there that control whether/when we update the data-sources.xml

BPMon Setup: Check user for data collection

Dear experts,
I'm trying to configure Business Process Monitoring in our Solution Manager system and I'm stuck in the step "Check User for Data Collection". See screenshot. I mark this row and click on "Execute Selected". A background job is scheduled and finishes after some 6 seconds, But this step is still marked as "Activity not yet performed". Any idea how this can be solved? I read the documentation, notes and the troubleshooting guide but found nothing about this specific problem.
Many thanks for any help!
Calin

Hi Calin
The status will remain grey as long as there are clients in the managed system that have not been connected to the Solution Manager.
However, if there are clients the you would not like to connect to Solman on purpose, he can simply set the execution status to “manually performed”, then the activity will be set to green. I have attached some screen shots from a test system so you can see what I mean.
Best Regards

Open Data Set Issue

Hello
How can we set the length of the record size in the open data set. I have like 40 fields of internal table and I need to upload it to Appl server. I could do it but all the fields dont appear. How can set the record size ? Can anyone explain..Thanks

HI Vicky,
doesn't show all fileds: scence in the file?
then either you are not passing the whole data or you are not selecting the whole data to the sending internal table
change your declaration to the string rather than character....
follow the code below:
DATA: filepath TYPE string.
OPEN DATASET filepath FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    LOOP AT l_xml_table INTO l_xml_rec.
     TRANSFER your itab TO filepath.
    ENDLOOP.
    CLOSE DATASET filepath.

BCS - Data collection issue

Hi,
I'm using BCS 4.0. I'm working now in final testing and I have some question regarding to the data collection process using load from data stream method. I ran the task in consolidation monitor for 007.2007 period and for all companies without any error or warnings, but we have differences in financial information for that period.
I reviewed the content in my BCS cube (RSA1) and we don't have any data for that accounts, the only thing that I found was that all docs were created on same date
I deleted the ID request in RSA1in my BCS cube and I executed task again in consolidation monitor, but the result was the same.
Looking at log / source data, in the rows listed, these data is not taking from the infoprovider
Any idea which could be the problem ?
Thanks
Nayeli

Hi Nayeli,
I had to do this kind of job (reconciliation of data in the source basis cube and the totals cube) during the final testing a lot of times, with an accountant.
The only way to have the first clue what is happening is to compare every particular amount s in both cubes. Comparing and trying to figure out any dependencies in data.
The difference might arise because of ANY reason. Only you may analyze the data and decide what to do.
AFAIU, you compared only reported data and did no currency translation and eliminations?
Then, I'm afraid that you've made a very big mistake deleting the request from the totals cube. You have broken the consistency between totals and document data. For a transactional cube the request is yellow until the number of records in it reach 50000 records. Then it is closed and become green. As you may understand, in those 50000 records maybe contained a lot of data for different posting periods, for example, reported data for the previous closed period. Though, documents still contain eliminations for that period. - Inconsistency.
