DR on SAP BusinessObjects Data Services

Hi Experts,
Greetings.
We are planning to implement the DR setup for Business Objects Data services. It would be helpful if you could share us step perform the DR on SAP business objects Data services.

Sebastian A

Hi,
Data Services Repositories are usually hosted in databases. This means the DR recovery options setup for the database server that hosts the Data Services will protect the code held in the repositories for DR purposes.
As far as setup is concerned, you can take a point-in-time image of the data services app server, jobserver and configurations so that it can be used for DR purposes.
This is only high level. But you can use this as the base to discuss disaster recovery options with your infrastructure counterpart defining the DR recovery options.
kind regards

SAP BO Data Services - Bits Are One - O - f O hex operator

Hi Gurus,
I need to implement the Bits Are One - 'O' Bit Sequence Comparison opertor in SAP BO Data Services. The equivalent in SAP ABAP would look like:
IF O hex01. ftab-inp = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex02. ftab-req = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex04. ftab-out = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex08. ftab-act = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex16. ftab-int = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex32. ftab-inv = on. ENDIF.
I need to know how I implement this in SAP BO data services. Please help.
The ABAP help for the same is as follows:
Comparing Bit Sequences
Use the following three operators to compare the bit sequence of the first operand with that of the second:
<operator> Meaning
O bits are one
Z bits are zero
M bits are mixed
The second operand must have type X. The comparison takes place over the length of the second operand. The first operand is not converted to type X.
The function of the operators is as follows:
O (bits are one)
The logical expression
<f> O <hex>
is true if the bit positions that are 1 in <hex>, are also 1 in <f>. In terms of set operations with bit sequences, this comparison is the same as finding out whether the set represented by <hex> is a subset of that represented by <f>.
Z (bits are zero)
The logical expression
<f> Z <hex>
is true if the bit positions that are 1 in <hex>, are 0 in <f>.
M (bits are mixed)
The logical expression
<f> M <hex>
is true if from the bit positions that are 1 in <hex>, at least one is 1 and one is 0 in <f>.
Caution: The following programs are no longer supported in Unicode systems:
REPORT demo_log_expr_bits .
DATA: text(1) TYPE c VALUE 'C',
 hex(1) TYPE x,
 i TYPE i.
hex = 0.
DO 256 TIMES.
i = hex.
IF text O hex.
 WRITE: / hex, i.
ENDIF.
hex = hex + 1.
ENDDO.
The output is as follows:
00 0
01 1
02 2
03 3
40 64
41 65
42 66
43 67
Here, the bit structure of the character 'C' is compared to all hexadecimal numbers HEX between '00' and 'FF' (255 in the decimal system), using the operator O. The decimal value of HEX is determined by using the automatic type conversion during the assignment of HEX to I. If the comparison is true, the hexadecimal number and its decimal value are displayed on the screen. The following table shows the bit sequences of the numbers:
hexadecimal decimal Bit sequences
00 0 00000000
01 1 00000001
02 2 00000010
03 3 00000011
40 64 01000000
41 65 01000001
42 66 01000010
43 67 01000011
The bit sequence of the character 'C' is defined for the current hardware platform by its ASCII code number 67. The numbers that occur in the list display are those in which the same bit position is filled with 1 as in the bit sequence of u2018Cu2019. The sequence 01000011 is the universal set of the bit sequences.

How to Load External Data to SAP BPC using SAP BO Data Services

Hi,
We want to load data from an external MS SQL Server DB to SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC 7.5 Netweaver version) using SAP BO Data Services 4.0 as ETL. What is the best way to load data to SAP BPC using Data Services?
Thanks

Hello Devi,
There are three ways you can load Master Data in BPC
1) Copy and paste.
Download master data in flat file .Copy the master data and paste in members of dimension after that process the dimension.
2) Using SISS Pakage - load Flat File into BPC-Cube
3) Using SQL Command.
Thanks.

SAP BI - Data Services connection

Hello
I am trying to set up SAP BI - Data Services connection.
Couple of questions :
1. Where from within the SAP can I get SAP gateway hostname and SAP gateway service name
2. I have a developer right on BW. Is it enough to make connection with my user id?
3. connection to BW is via client security portal. Does it change the approach?
Thanks

Hi,
1. Where from within the SAP can I get SAP gateway hostname and SAP gateway service name
From the sapgui.
2. I have a developer right on BW. Is it enough to make connection with my user id?
Yes
3. connection to BW is via client security portal. Does it change the approach?
What does that means? you need a user and password in BW (ABAP).
As suggested by Andrei, read the wiki. It has all you need to make it work.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Diego

SAP BO Data Services XI 3.2 - Cannot Handle Multithreaded RFC Connection?

Hi Guys,
Just want to ask for your inputs if Data Services cannot handle multiple RFC connection request to BW system?
The scenario is:
There is one BODI job using RFC connection and trigger the 2nd job at the same time and it happen that the 2nd job failed.
Current version of SAP BO Data Services XI 3.2 that we are using is 12.2.2.1
Thanks in advance,
Randell

Arpan,
One way to get to the multiprovider data is to use Open Hub with a DTP that gets the data from the multiprovider and exposes it as an open hub destination to Data Services. With Data Services XI 3.2 we now fully support Open Hub where Data Services will (1) start the process chain to load the data (2) read the data when process chain ended and (3) notify Open Hub when done so that the data can be purged again.
More info on Open Hub here : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1e/c4463c6796e61ce10000000a114084/content.htm
But I will also look into the why we show the multiproviders when browsing the metadata, but get an error when trying to extract using the ABAP method (not via Open Hub). You could be right in your assumptions below and we might just need to hide the multiproviders when browsing metadata.
Thanks,
Ben.
Edited by: Ben Hofmans on Jan 5, 2010 6:06 PM - added link to Open Hub documentation which references multiproviders as possible source.

Connect SAP BO Data Services to Azure Blob Storage

Hi,
I want to connect SAP BO Data service to Azure Blob Storage. Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks,

Hi Anton,
As of now, it is not possible for SAP BO Data Services to connect with Azure Blob Storage. However, you may put down your requirement in Azure Feedback, so that concerned development team can get it done in near future.

Calling a web service from BusinessObjects Data Services

Hi all,
We are trying to generate a several levels deep structure to prepare the request for a web service call from Data Services. We tried using the Query transformation to map constant values to fields, but as there are nested complex structures, those don't get populated and at runtime we just get an empty request body. We also tried changing the 'optional' and 'occurrence' settings for the structures at every level, but did not help either. Is there any way to create a deep structure manually without getting the input from an XML file or having to create a persistant table, and if we should be using other functions rather than Query step to do so?
Thanks,
S. Gokhan Topcu

Hi
It is possible to map a heavily nested structure. The minimum required to this is a row generation and a query transform. The most important technique is the "make current" option for each level of nesting.
It is one area that be confusing. I have written a couple of white papers that walk through the techniques, they are on the SDN here

SAP BO Data Services Repository Login error

Hi All,
I am a new SAP data services 4.0 user. I am getting following error while connecting to the repository while starting the designer.

SAP to Data Services System (Business Objects)

Hi,
Currently there is an RFC connection between Data Services and R/3 which exchange three idocs. Each idoc has an volume of 30k per day.
As we are trying to introduce PI as central broker, will it be recommended to bring PI into the scope thinking on the performance head.
As this would be simple idoc to idoc conversion, let me know the things that will help to reduce the performance overhead.
Also should i be using RFC adapter between PI and Data Services.
Also since the licensing model is based on CPU, what effect will it bring with these three interfaces?
Is there any other connectivity that we can try apart from simple RFC

Hi,
>>>Do you mean to say with dual stack, Idoc adapter is available both in ABAP as well JAVA.
yes you can use any of the two
but if you want to use ICO you can only use IDOC_AAE (java stack idoc adapter)
>>>I thought idoc adapter would present in Java stack when you go for java stand alone installation only.
no, with dual you also get it
>>>>That would solve my volume issues. What is the best way to find the size of an idoc?
send it via PI or easier and without PI - send it to an XML port (but this will give you the XML idoc size)

Michal Krawczyk

XML transformation with BusinessObjects Data Services

Hi,
We have a legacy web service based on JAX-RPC and the data retrieved from this service does not conform to the schema generated, so there's a need to retrieve the data generically(a complete XML body is returned in a varchar field) and then parse the data inside and assign to individual fields. For a limited period of time until this service is phased out, we need to use this service to retrieve data for some ETL processes. Does BusinessObejcts Data Services offer me a way to implement a custom transformation (for example, a custom Java parser code)? If it does, please advise how to find the relevant how-to guides, or any other means to get the data.
Kind regards,
S. Gökhan Topç

Hi,
DS offers the possibility to run a program at the end of an ETL job. So you could write your java code and let DS run it.
Maybe thats sufficient.
But i would recommend you check the "Enterprise Information Management" Forum, there are the DS Gurus located.

Extracting Data from SAP ERP using BODI/Data Services 4.0

HI,
I am trying to extract data from SAP ERP via SAP extractors using BODI/Data Services 4.0.
I do not have my own ERP system so I am renting remote access from one of the many available on the internet.
I am able to connect BODI to the ERP system and import the extractors metadata.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I run job to extract the data I get the following error:
Vendor-supplied function module <Z_AW_RFC_READ_EXTRACTOR> not found. Ensure that you can execute the function module in SAP via transaction /nSE37.
How do I create the function? Or is the function a SAP standard function?
SAP ERP system being used is: ECC6 EHP4
User has SAP FULL and DEVELOPER authorizations.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Data Services 4.0 Designer. Job Execution but empty log file no matter what

Hi all,
am running DS 4.0. When i execute my batch_job via designer, log window pops up but is blank. i.e. cannot see any trace messages.
doesn't matter if i select "Print all trace messages" in execution properties.
Jobserver is running on a seperate server. The only thing i have locally is just my designer.
if i log into the Data Services management console and select the job server, i can see trace and error logs from the job. So i guess what i need is for this stuff to show up in my designer?
Did i miss a step somewhere?
can't find anything in docs about this.
thanks

Install of Data Services as active/passive behind F5 load balancers

I currently have two RedHat 5.5 x86_64 hosts, SAP_DS1 and SAP_DS2, and 1 database, Oracle RAC 11g and 1 F5 LTM load balancer sitting in front of the two hosts. The F5 load balancer VIP is set up as active/passive (fail-over) for the two hosts.
Will I need 2 local databases 1 central database or can I accomplish this with one local database?
Please advise on the recommended method for installing BOBJ DATA SERVICES XI 3.2 on two Linux hosts in an active/passive design.

Data Services 12.2.3.0 BODI-1112015 Adapter metadata import failed

Hi Experts,
I am using Data Services 12.2.3.0.
I have an issue in importing functions through 'Adapter' type datastore into Data Services. I can open the datastore and see the list of functions available, but when I try to import them, I get the error BODI-1112015 Adapter metadata import failed.
The setup and the errors are as below.
The adapter datastore is setup as below.
I built a new keystore called clientkeystore.jks in the ..\bin.Then created the .CSR file, and then imported the signed chained (I believe it's chained certificate) certificate of the server hosting the wsdl into the keystore.
Thanks for the post http://scn.sap.com/thread/1589052 . After changing the metadata character set to utf-8, I can see a list of functions when I open this New_Datastore in Data Services. It proves that the setup for the datastore has no problem parsing the wsdl file and give me the list of functions in it.
However, the error appears when I try to import them.
Error is:
Adapter metadata import failed. Error message: (BODI-1112015) Error parsing the <TheFunctionToBeImported> included in the XML sent by the adapter to represet a function <Error importing XML Schema from file <adapter_schema_in.xsd>:<XML parser failed: Error <Schema Representation Constraint: Namespace 'http://result.form.v81.api.keysurvey.com' is referenced without <import> declaration> at line <13>, char <46> in < < xsd:schema xmln:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmln:tns="http://result.form.v81.api.keystore.com" xmlns:diws="http://businessobjects.com/diwebservice" targetnamespace="http://www.businessobjects.com/diwebservice"><xsd:import namespace='http://v81.api.keysurvey.com' schemaLocation='C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Data Services\ext\webservice\FormResultManagemenetgetRespondentsgetRespondents0.xsd'/>
<xsd: import namespace='http://result.form.v81.api.keysurvey.com' schemaLocation='C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Data Services\ext\webservice\FormResultManagemenetgetRespondentsgetRespondents2.xsd'/> ........
When comparing it with the wsdl file(as below), it is worth nothing that the schemaLocation is changed to a local directory under C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Data Services\ext\webservice while it was not the case in wsdl. The schemaLocation is on the server.
I am wondering if the redirection from the server specified in the wsdl file to the local directory has caused this error. The error 'namespace is reference without <import>' is apparently wrong as the <import> is just there.
Or there is any other reason behind this.
I appreciate any adivce or question from you!

I have reached the exact same error as this post http://scn.sap.com/thread/3190403
The error is
[Mon Jun 18 23:14:28 2012] [error] ..\..\src\core\deployment\conf_builder.c(876) Specifyingservices and modules directories using axis2.xml but path of the library directory is not present

As it is identified as an version problem, this issue is not going to be investigated any further.
As an alternative, can try to use Oracle 11g SOAP_API.sql.
