Data source was activated and replicated but not showing up in RSA7.

Hello,
Data source was activated and replicated but not showing up in RSA7. At what point does the data source appear in the Delta Queue?
Thanks

Hi,
for LO,LIS,generic,FI data sources, delta records come from delta queue.
if u run the INIT in BW whether it may be success or not delta queue will be maintained in RSA7. and u can check the records in RSA7 or smq2.
when the init request goes to R/3 then it will maintains delta queue in RSA7.
assign points if it helps,
thanks,

Alternative data source for EO and VO

It is usually the requirement to customize the Entity Objects and View Objects so that they can work with data sources different than database schema objects (tables, views,...), some examples are Web Service or Oracle Coherence cache.
I have developed mini projects using both data sources mentioned, by overriding relevant methods in the implementation EO and VO classes. There is one limitation I realize when developing these projects. Although both the EO and VO rely directly and completely on the alternative data sources (Web Service and Coherence), still there must be a schema object existing in the local database to back the EO and VO. This is because I still have to call super methods from ViewObjImpl and EntityImpl, and these methods are still doing some operations with the schema objects, and without these objects, ORA-00942: table or view does not exist will be thrown.
For example, after overriding executeQueryForCollection in ViewObjImpl to take data from web service, it is still necessary to call super.executeQueryForCollection so that data will actually appear on the web page, and without the schema objects, this method will throw ORA-00942.
My question is, is there any way to completely eliminate the need of schema objects in EO and VO? I know the answer (if exist) will be complicated but I'm willing to explore.
Thanks.

Thanks Timo,
I figured out how to achieve this.
Basically when creating the EO, I did not specify the schema object in the first step, and for each attribute that I created in the wizard, I also unchecked the checkbox "persistent". I could then create VO based on this EO and override all the necessary methods in the EO and VO so they can do CRUD operations via Web Service.
In the case of only creating an VO (read-only, for retrieving/reading data only), I could also mark each attribute as "transient" by checking a checkbox in the creation wizard.

Counter KF with 1 & 0 and difference between data type NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4)

Hi,
I need to create a counter kf which should populate 1 and 0 to this counter field. Please let me know is there any difference between data type
NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4).
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan kumar

Hi Pavan,
The basic difference between Number(DEC) and INT4 is its internal storage in system.
For Number (DEC) - Value internally stored as packed number with 3 decimal places whereas INT 4 as 4 byte integer without decimal places.
For counter KF, you can go for INT 4.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Difference between Data Source & Tx Data Source

What is the difference between Data Source & Tx Data Source in Services->JDBC ?

JDBCTxDataSource gives you participation in JTS transactions on top of JDBCDataSource
functionality.
So if you want the connections to participate in your EJB transactions, you must
use JDBCTxDataSource.

Difference between data sources 0CO_PC_PCP_03 and 0CO_PC_PCP_010

Hi All,
Please tell me the difference between these two data sources 0CO_PC_PCP_03 and 0CO_PC_PCP_010.
Thanks,

Hi,
The problem with period format that you are mentioning before executing the DS in RSA3.
Check the format of that field in source and provide the correct format.
Crrect Format : YYYYPPP
For your scenario provide the Period value as 2009001(Dont Put Dot) and execute the ds.You will be able to see the data in RSA3.

Difference between Data sources

Hi Experts,
Can u Pls explain what is the difference between the data sources
0FI_AR_3 : CUSTOMERS LINE ITEMS
0FI_AR_4 : CUSTOMERS LINE ITEMS WITH DELTA EXTRACTION.
Actually i am here in the implementation project. for FI the above 2 data sources having the same fields and also suggest me which one is better to use.
Regards
sridhar

0FI_AR_3 : CUSTOMERS LINE ITEMS : Old and is replaced by 0FI_AR_4.
This datasource was linked to FI-GL datasource.FI-GL datasource had to be loaded first which would set the timestamp for 0fi_ar_3 and 0fi_ap_3.
0FI_AR_4 : CUSTOMERS LINE ITEMS WITH DELTA EXTRACTION. : 0FI_AR_3 was replaced by 0FI_AR_4 which allows decoupling from FI-GL and the delta mechanism is independent of FI-GL.
There a some help.sap.com on the above check on them.
Hope this helps.

How to get date difference in data sources

Hi,
In SQL:SELECT DATEDIFF(day, '2005-12-30 23:59:59.9999999', '2005-12-30 00:00:00.0000000');
output :1
As similar way how get the datediffence in SAP business by design of the datasources.
Regards,
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
For this you have to create a Custom DATA SOURCE for the required BO. Then Select all the required fields that you want to use it in the report for that datasource.
The 3rd step of Data Source Wizard is shown in the image, here you can add a extra field that can hold the difference between the DateTime elements present in the BO.
In the left column BUSINESS OBJECT ELEMENT choose DATE element (1st Date).
In the right column TRANSFORMATION choose DateTime To Duration row and in the PARAMETER Column choose the field against which you want to calculate the difference.
In Defined Field Name enter a name, this will hold the value of the calculated difference.
Thank You

Differences in Data Source Navigation Path

Can anyone tell me why some instances/implementations of WebLogic have different navigation paths to Data Sources? I've seen the following:
Example 1: Domain Structure > Services > Data Sources (Console version 12.1.1.0)
Example 2: Domain Structure > JDBC > Data Sources (Console version 10.3.3.0)
I thought I had seen the path Domain Structure > Services > Data Sources in 10.3.3.0! Does anyone know if these differences are due to versions of WebLogic or whether they are due to different installation options, preferences, or something else?
Edited by: user12702338 on Mar 19, 2013 1:16 PM

Hi,
Difference seen in path are due to versions, no issue with configuration/installations.
Going back there were changes made for JDBC path between versions 8.1 and 9.2 also.
Thanks,
Ranjan

Question - Best practice data source for Vs2008 and Crystal Reports 2008

I have posted a question here
CR2008 using data from .NET data provider (ADO.NET DATASET from a .DLL)
but think that perhaps I need general community advise on best practice with data sources.
In Crystal reports I can choose the data source location from any number of connection types, eg ado.net(xml), com, oledb, odbc.
Now in regard to the post, the reports have all been created in Crxi 6.3, upgraded to Crystal XI and now Im using the latest and greatest. I wrote the Crystal Reports 6.3/ XI reports back in the day to do the following: The Reports use a function from COM Object which returns an ADO recordset which is then consumed fine.
So I don't want to rewrite all these reports, of which there are many.
I would like to know if any developers are actually using .NET Class libraries to return ADO.NET datasets via the method call or if you are connecting directly to XML data via whatever source ( disk, web service, http request etc).
I have not been able to eliminate the problem listed in the post mentioned above, which is that the Crystal Report is calling the .NET class library method twice before displaying the data. I have confirmed this by debugging the class lib.
So any guidance or tips is appreciated.
Thanks

This is already being discuss in one of your other threads. Let's close this one out and concentrate on the one I've already replied to.

Using relational data from SQL data source in Planning and Essbase

Hi,
How do I take sample data from a SQL data source and bring it into a Hyperion Planning application? I understand that when creating Planning applications, a link between a relational data source and Essbase must be established, because the relational database holds the metadata while the database outline is stored with Essbase. However, all I am currently able to do is load the data into Planning applicaitons via EAS, where I right-click on the Application database, hit load data, and select from either a .txt file or an excel file. Do I need Oracle Data Integrator? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, as well as corrections to any incorrect assumptions I may have made in this post. Thank you.

When you import your file (Excel or text), you're importing it using a Load Rule in EAS. To load from SQL, you simply create a SQL load rule. You'll load data the exact same way (via EAS), but with a different type of load rule. The load rule will contain the SQL that queries the database. You can preview your data in the load rule the same way you would with a file.
If your SQL is very complex, I'd recommend creating a view and loading from that view. But otherwise it's pretty straight-forward.
The only catch is that you need to configure a database connection (to your relational database) on the Essbase server. The Essbase DBA guide will show you how to do this.
You COULD use ODI, but I tend to only use it for loading metadata.
Hope this helps,

Vb 2010 data source configuration wizard and sql server 2012

I am having a problem using the Data Source Configuration Wizard in vb 2010 express to connect to a remote SQL server database. The weird thing is that I can connect to it just fine if I manually dimension the sqlcommand, sqlconnection and set up the sql
connectionstring. So I know the connectivity is possible, but I would like to use the functionality of the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Here's what happens when I attempt to add a connection via the Database Explorer:
I only get two SQL Server options. Neither will let me connect to a remote database.
I know that Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 isn't what I want, but I have tried it anyway. It will only let me connect to a database on my computer. An 'ActiveSync' option is greyed out.
Microsoft SQL Server Database File would appear to be what I want, but when I select this option, it informs me (as you can see) that this will only work for a local database:
The connection string that I build manually (and which works) looks like this:
Dim
myConn
As
NewSqlConnection(sConnect)
sConnect =
""Data Source=xxxxxx.xxxxxx.com;Server=""Xxxx XXX Database"";Initial Catalog=StockAnalysisProd;User
ID=cadietz;Password = "& sPW &
I have attempted all variation of this string in the database file name input box to no avail. I think it really should go in as a Data Source but those are hard wired and cannot be changed. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I need someone
to point out what it is. Thanks in advance for your help...
Alex3764

Alberto... thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately this does not appear to work. I downloaded Visual Studio Express for the Web (2012) and attempted the 'work around' proposed by Sergey and I could not make it work on the remote server. I have given up on the Data Connection Wizard and
am simply connecting to my remote SQL server using the manual classes (SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapter, etc.). The moderator has marked this as an answer but I'm going to unmark it.
I am now even more frustrated because I now find that I cannot connect to my LOCAL SQL database using the Data Connection Wizard and the circumstances are even weirder. Here's what happens:
I open the Add Connection window, select 'Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient)' as the data source.
I then browse to my local database file in the Database file name input box. When I click the 'Test Connection' button I get a message box that informs me: 'Test connection
succeeded'. Voila!
But, alas, when I close the message box and click OK on the Add Connection window I get this message: 'The ability to open this connection is not supported in this edition of Visual Studio'.
I mean this borders on the absurd. Why is the Data Connection Wizard even offered with VB 2010 Express if you can't use it for anything. Once again I can get around the problem manually but I'm getting very frustrated with MS. Any suggestions??

Upgrade from BW 3.5 to BW 7.0 (BI 7.0)
Some features of BI 7 are
1. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
3. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
4. The monitoring has been imprvoed with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal !
5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
6. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yess, you can always revert to the old transactions too.

Data Blocks - Different data source for Query and DML

Would anyone please tell me if it is possible in a BLOCK to define a stored procedure for queriying and a table for DML operations or vice-versa at the SAME time.
If possible how do you do it using DATA BLOCK WIZARD? If you select your block to be based on stored procedure then it gives only stored procedure options for Querying and DML operations in next few screens.
Also, suppose I used a stored procedure defined in a block for insert operations, is it implicitly called by INSERT RECORD function key in default menu? How does it take values from different fields on its own?

Hi Deepon,
We get data from both BSIK(open items)and BSAK (cleared items). Obviously if a accounting doc is not cleared it would be in open items and vice versa..
Go through the help link for more information..
