Defunct objects in Data Integrator

Hi,
I am getting an error in Data Integrator Designer that says that objects are DEFUNCT, this can be for example Data flow in a Job or a target table in a data flow
u201C[Data Flow:DSA_Zastaeda_Delta] BODI-1111034: The object <DELTA_ZASTAEDA_MV(EDW_STAGING_DEV.EDW_STAGING_DEV)> is defunct in <DSA_Zastaeda_Delta>.u201D
I am still able to execute those Data flows but unable to modify the target options, if I add the same target again in the data flow I am able to work with the target table, but then when I validate and safe the target as become defunct. Can anyone tell me the reason for this error?
Best regards Birgir
p.s. using version 11.7

The only automatic mapping algorithm is the name comparison. No other mechanisms exist, nor can they be plugged in (in the current 10.1.3.5 version of the product).

Difference between Data Integrator, Data Services, Federator & Data Manage

Hi,
What is the difference between each of the following components of SAP Business Object?
Data Integrator
Date Services
Data Federator
Data Management
Do these not do the data integration (ETL)? Is so, why a Data Integrator is a must for Rapid Mart not any of the other listed above?

Thanks for the to-the-point response. It was really helpful. Isn't SAP BusinessObjects Data Federator is also a kind of integrator? The following link mentions "SAP BusinessObjects Data Federator can help you rapidly integrate data in real-time"
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/information-management/data-integration/datafederator/index.epx
Or if I put it differently: Data Federator is used when physical integration is not required, and provides the functionality to integrate data virtually in memory.
Please correct me, if I am not.

Data Integrity Manager & Synchronize Objects

Hi there,
I have 2 questions regading data integrity and synchronization. If any of you can help me out, I would really appreciate it.
1) Synchronize Objects (R3AS4): Is this only used to sync the customizing objects or can it be used to sync master data objects as well? When I run this transaction, I get the message tat "Synchronization Ware not activated". Do any of you know how to activate this?
2) Data Integrity Manager: How do I choose betweeen a header level comparison and detail comparison. When I try to run it , nothing seems to happen, and I just get the message "0 objects are equal" and "0 objects are not equal" when I run it. I am just using the DIMA wizard to start the comparison. Do any of you have the "Data Integrity Manager Cookbook"? If so, can you please send ot to me?
Thanks in advance
Max

Hello Max,
Here are the steps that I just did in my system:
- transaction SDIMA
- New DIMa Instance wizard
- name = customer / object = customer
- RFC destination = <R/3> / filter mode = All filter / flag to start compare on wizard completion
- no filter settings
- complete
So the compare start as soon as the wizard is finished.
You can see the status of the job in the right of the screen. (it takes some time for BP). When the status is green, the job is finished.
Maybe you will have the message "0 objects are equal, 0 objects are not equal" but you should also have just above a message like "421 object(s) exist in both systems".
I don't think that the fact that you are not sending BP back to R/3 is a problem to use DIMA.
Hope this will help you.

Frédéric

Monitoring and Alerting tools for Business Object Data Integrator

Hi,
We have Business Objects DI installed in AIX 5.3 environment. Please advise any type of monitoring and alerting tools for DI.
Monitor tools to monitor Job servers(like job service and web services running properly) and also to monitor long running extraction jobs and alerting the same. Thanks.
Thanks.
Raj.

Hi Thomas
Though both the tools objectives are for Data integration, the purpose for both tools are different.
SAP BODS/ BOBJ Data Integrator is an ETL tool which involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of the data
SAP PI is a Middleware/EAI tool which have a mechanism/technology that connects different parts of an application or a series of applications
SAP BOBJ Data Integrator
Bulk Data Integration
Extraction Transformation and Loading
Deals of huge volume of data
SAP PI
It is process based integration of application data
It is a middle ware which integrates various project applications into a common programming package that can be operate/access as a single application
SAP NetWeaver PI is SAP’s implementation of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) middleware and facilitates the integration of business processes that span different departments, organizations, or companies.
SAP PI uses SAP NetWeaver Application Server and message servers where in fail over cases the messages can be resent again.
The below differences will gives you more clarity
Verdict is we can use both the tools for data transfer/migration and for choosing the tool depends upon the business requirement
Please reply back if you need more information.

Errror while trying DataStore Data Integrator Business Objects

Hi,
I have a Business Objects Data Integrator XI Release 2 installed on my machine... I´m new to this platform, but I think I have everything
fully installed except the Job Server and SNMP Server, because the license that I have it doesn´t allow to install these services.
I have a repository created in SQL Server 2008, against which the Data Integrator Designer is connected correctly, where I can create projects,
jobs, workflows and even jobflows ...
But when trying to create a DataStore to data sources or destinations, will not let me. I right click on the repository,
DataStore> New, and I get the window that should go to enter data datastore name and type, databases, flat files, ... I get no
any error or warning window just does nothing ...
But whenI try to create a DataStore, to datasources or destinations, not let me. I right-click on the Datastores repository > New, and
the window, that should go, is not shown, to enter data, datastoresname and type, databases, plain text,... Any error or warning window is not
shown , just does nothing
I was visiting the SAP Community Network page and I found a demo transform, .afl, to import a sample project to the repository, and I created
the datastore instance successfully, DS_training. For this datastore allows me all options, but when I right-click on it, except for
> Edit, I try to access to these options to point to my Database and not the samples...
I don´t know what is the problem, if someone could help me because I'm looking for several days and I'm going crazy!
Thanks

Hola,
ante todo muchas gracias, porque veo que fuiste el unico que te dignaste a echarme una mano...
La verdad es que la cosa es rarisima, con los datastores creados del ejemplo, no me deja editarlos y tampoco crear unos nuevos...
El error es el mismo, tanto como si quiero crear uno nuevo como si quiero editar los de ejemplo, no aparece nada... ni ventana de error ni ventana para editar/crear...
Gracias, un saludo...

Is there a Business Objects Data Integrator API / SDK to "execute" DI jobs?

Hello,
I am searching for a Business Objects Data Integrator API / SDK that can be used to remotely execute BOBJ DI jobs (like in scheduling BOBJ XI docs).
I found AdapterSDK from BOBJ DI but this is used to create adapters usable with DI (for various sources and targets). I am interested only in executing an already created job...
Thank you in advance,
Adrian Mitrica

You'll probably be better off posting here:
[SAP Community Network Forums » Enterprise Information Management » Data Integration and Quality Management|
I'm just going by the description of the forum but that looks better than this one(?):
This forum is dedicated to topics related to Data Integration (Data Integrator, Data Federator, Text Analysis for Data Integrator, Rapid Marts, and Integration for PeopleSoft Enterprise), Data Quality (Data Quality and Data Insight), and Metadata Management.
I'd move your thread but I do not have the rights to do this move...

Data Integrator and Data Quality

Hi,
I worked on BI 7.0 and now exploring Business objects. I wanted to know how Data Integrator and Data Quality products relate to SAP BI 7. What is the purpose of using them. Is this integration and quality features not embedded in SAP BI 7.

BI and Data Services share many integration features, but Data Service provides better connectivity to third party data sources. The data quality features of Data Services are not available in BI.

Oracle Data Integrator 11.1.1.5 Work Schema - List of Privileges

Hi All,
Oracle Data Integrator 11.1.1.5.
Extracting data from Oracle DB for Oracle EBS 12.1.3.
Customer created read-only schema (XXAPPS) to extract the data from EBS.
For ODI Work schema we now created one schema 'XBOL_ODI_TEMP' on the source DB. We are now looking for appropriate privileges that needs to be granted to XXAPPS and 'XBOL_ODI_TEMP' so that we won’t face the any error messageS related to permissions when we run ODI scenario?
We are now facing the error message : ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source ORACLE connection VTB_ORACLE_EBS_1213.
Caused By: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
Similar previliges can be granted to the work schema on target.
Venkat

i think it would be fine with only one schema(user) created at the source system which has got read access on the tables of the EBS DB. Now to resolve this error, assuming XXAPPS user is the one used,
in the topology --> data server(for EBS) --> physical schema the EBS schema name could be selected for Schema and XXAPPS as the work schema(for all ODI work related objects e.g. CDC)
Also, in the Data server the user XXAPPS needs to be used which has read access to EBS tables.
Now everytime ODI generates a query it will access a table lets say DUMMY as ,<EBS Schema>.DUMMY thus the reference is made.
Alternatively, you can create synonyms for EBS tables in XXAPPS schema.

License Problem When Installing Data Integrator

Hi,
I have downloaded the BOBJ DATA INTEGRATOR XI R2 ACC.
I am trying to install on the server that has our BO XI Edge 3.1 installation.
Its asking me for a Licence file??
The DI Getting Started Guide refers to licensing Business Object email address. I got a bounce back saying the mailbox wasnt monitored anymore.
I only want to evaluate the product, is sap Account Manager the only person who can give this out. Its just that my boss is away and he is the one who talks with the Account Manager!

Using Data Integrator Migration Mechanisms and Migration Tools

Data Integrator provides two mechanisms for migrating jobs from development to test to production : <ul><li>Export/import <ul><li>Export/import is the basic mechanism for migrating Data Integrator applications between phases. First, you export jobs from the local repository to either a file or a database, then you can import them into another local repository. </li></ul></li><li>Multi-user development <ul><li>Instead of exporting and importing applications, multi-user development provides a more secure check-in, check-out, and get mechanism, using a central repository to store the master copies of your application elements. </li></ul></li></ul>Regardless of which migration mechanism you choose, Business Objects recommends you prepare for migration using one or more tools that best fit your development environment :<ul><li>Naming conventions <ul><li>Just as Business Objects recommends you standardize Data Integrator object prefixes, suffixes, and path name identifiers to simplify your projects internally, we also recommend the use of naming conventions externally for migration purposes. </li></ul></li><li>Datastore and system profiles <ul><li>With multiple profiles, instead of a separate datastore (and datastore configuration) for each database instance, you can associate multiple datastore profiles with a single datastore connection. </li></ul></li></ul>Each mechanism and tool is recommended for specific types of projects. For more detail, please see the Data Integrator Advanced Development and Migration Guide provided with Data Integrator 6.5.

Hej Fahad!
Thanx for your valueable information but i have not any background of data migration and etc. I am mobile communication developer. So this is my first assignment between two companies. first company will give me the oracle data maybe in the shape of dump files and i will make my virtual server and there i will test that the data is valid or not and etc. If the data is valid then i will transfer it to target platform.
So now i have no access to the source system from where data is coming. Can you please explain me little bit more about invalid objects and still export/import works same.
Waiting for reply

Performance degradation in Data Integrator Designer with Multi-user mode

Post Author: ccastrillon
CA Forum: Data Integration
We are developing an information system based on a DataMart populated with data using ETL processes built with Data Integrator. We are three people developing and when we work at the same time we begin to have problem of performance with Designer. Designer seems freeze sometimes and development process becomes painful.
Where is the problem? accessing repository? Is any known bug?
Job Server? but it happens even when we don't launch any job. Only building ETL processes manipulating objects (Dataflows, workflows,...etc).
We would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

What do you mean with 'working at the same time' ? You need 3 different repositories if you want to work with 3 developers, so there should be no impact at all when working simultaniously...

Using the cache in Data Integrator

Hi,
I'm trying to understand if is possible restrict the use of cache in Data Integrator to load initial datasource to limit the use of server resources.
I understand from the manual to set the option to use the type of dataflow cache: Pageable or In-Memory. This option does not solve my problem. I would like to avoid to load all the cached datasource.
Is possible to perform query objects directly without first loading all data sources in the tables?

base /open SQL Statement etc) the first time i defined the system everything was fine but when i changed the Database (using M.S.Access) the " open SQL Statement" it would show the tables but not thier columns ,I"m using win98 sec edition / Teststand 1.0.1Hello Kitty -
Certainly it is unusual that you can still see the tables available in your MS Access database but cannot see the columns? I am assuming you are configuring an Open Statement step and are trying to use the ring-control to select columns from your table?
Can you tell me more about the changes you made to your file when you 'changed' it with MS Access? What version of Access are you using? What happens if you try and manually type in an 'Open Statement Dialog's SQL string such as...
"SELECT UUT_RESULT.TEST_SOCKET_INDEX, UUT_RESULT.UUT_STATUS, UUT_RESULT.START_DATE_TIME FROM UUT_RESULT"
Is it able to find the columns even if it can't display them? I am worried that maybe you are using a version of MS Access that is too new for the version of TestSt
and you are running. Has anything else changed aside from the file you are editing?

Objects arrangement in Integration Repository

Hi All,
I have some questions about Objects Arrangement in Integration Repository.
Lets say that the scenario is as follow :
I have two on going projects. There are data exchanges in both projects.
In Project_1, R/3 needs to get data from CRM system,
while in Project_2, R/3 needs to get data from SEM system.
How should I arrange the objects in Integration Repository using the most common way (best practice) ?
(For example, is it supposed to be like this
Model A :
Product : MYCOMP_R/3
SWC : MYCOMP_R/3
NameSpace : http://mycompany.com/R3/Project_1
          (Here we put all the R/3 related Objects of Project_1)
               http://mycompany.com/R3/Project_2
          (Here we put all the R/3 related Objects of Project_2)
Product : MYCOMP_CRM
SWC : MYCOMP_CRM
NameSpace : http://mycompany.com/CRM/Project_1
                       (Here we put all the CRM related Objects of Project_1)
Product : MYCOMP_SEM
SWC : MYCOMP_SEM
NameSpace : http://mycompany.com/SEM/Project_2
                       (Here we put all the SEM related Objects of Project_2)
or like this ?
Model B :
Product : PROJECT_1
SWC : PROJECT_1
NameSpace : http://mycompany.com/proj1/R3
               (Here we put all the R/3 related Objects of Project_1)
               http://mycompany.com/proj1/CRM
               (Here we put all the CRM related Objects of Project_1)
Product : PROJECT_2
SWC : PROJECT_2
NameSpace : http://mycompany.com/proj2/R3
               (Here we put all the R/3 related Objects of Project_2)
               http://mycompany.com/proj2/SEM
               (Here we put all the SEM related Objects of Project_2)
Please advise me
Thanks in advance,
Andy S

Hi,
1. You have a choice of making one SWCV per project in a company or per Thrid-party project.
2. You can have one SWCV and then have one namespace for each Interface you are developing itrrespective of the sender or reciever system.
3. If you have one SWCV for each Third-party product then you have to again design as to where different object should be , Sender system or reciver system.
4. If you keep all the object pertaining to one Interface together under a namespace the readability increases.
Hope this helps.
