Excel source located in Infoview

Hi,
I'm trying to add a source for my report, I know how to do with a file located on the hardDisk as C:\ for exemple.
But in infoview I don't know where really the file is stored (fileStored\Input..\...).
And if the document is reuploaded, his lcoation will change.
Do you have any suggestion ?
I could sheddule the document in a specified location but if the user re-upload it (delete + upload) I'll lose the sheddul job.

Hi Matheiu,
It looks like the path where the excel file is placed is accessible from your local system, but not from the server.
Try opening the Web Intelligence document in the server using WebI application, try refreshing the report by placing the excel file at a location from where it can be accessed from the server. If it refreshes successfully, export the WebI document.
Now, when you try to run the report in Infoview, it should refresh without any issues.
Or
View this link:

May be it will help you.
All the best,

How can i force the source link to look in current folder? Using dropbox as source location

My data source is an Excel file located on a dropbox folder which is shared between team members.
The report file is also located in the same dropbox folder.
My problem is that when other people refreshed the data source they get an error saying that the data source is located on MY local machine even though they have it in their dropbox folder as well.
Is it possible to build the link to the data source in a way that forces powerpivot to look in its current folder..?
If i just write the file name and refreshes it seems to work, but when reopening the file the url has changed to this and only works on my computer.

Is this still an issue?

Crystal Report runtime error while changing Data Source Location

Dear All
We are using "Crystal reports for SAP Business one".The Crystal reports version is 12.1.
We built a report in another database with another server.
As we are importing the report in another database of another server,
I am not able to change the Data Source location.
When I am trying to change it,it gives Runtime error and closed automatically.
How can i resolve and change the data source location?

hi kambadasan,
is your CR version the same from which you design the report and to the another server? also did you import your report directly to SBO without changing the data source first? in the case you should update first your Data Source in Crystal Report IDE before importing it to SBO.
regards,
Fidel

Source locator does not exist: com.adobe.flexbuilder.debug.sourceLookupDirector.flash

I'm using FB4 under OSX and for the longest time it refused to load and just displayed errors instead of panes. Nothing that I could find would fix it (including reinstalling). Well, it looks like that problem has been resolved in some update, because it has gone away, and I can go back to viewing projects.
The problem is now when I try to build the project I get the error:
Source locator does not exist: com.adobe.flexbuilder.debug.sourceLookupDirector.flash
Any ideas? My familiarity of eclipse is pretty limited and I don't know what a source locator is. TIA.

Hi,
Looks like those classes are missing from your Flash Builder installation.
Can you check in installdir/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.debug.xxx/com/adobe/flexbuilder/debug/
If those files are missing, do a complete uninstall and then install.

What is the best practice for package source locations?

I have several remote servers (about 16) that are being utilized as file servers that have many binaries on them to be used by users and remote site admins for content. Can I have SCCM just use these pre-existing locations as package sources, or is this
not considered best practice?
Or
Should I create just one package source within close proximity to the Site Server, or on the Site Server itself?
Thanks

The primary site server is responsible for grabbing the source data and turning it into packages for Distribution points. so while you can use ANY UNC to be a source location for content, you should be aware of where that content exists in regards
to your primary site server. If your source content is in Montana but your primary server is in California ... there's going to be a WAN hit ... even if the DP it's destined for is also in Montana.
Second, I strongly recommend locking down your source UNC path so that only the servers and SCCM admins can access it. This will prevent side-loading of content as well as any "accidental changing" of folder structure that could cause
your applications/packages to go crazy.
Put the two together and I typically recommend you create a DSL (distributed source library) share and slowly migrate all your content into it as you create your packages/applications. You can then safely create batch installers, manage content versions,
and other things without fear of someone running something out of context.

File is not picking from the source location.

Hi all,
File is not picking from the source location. FTP is working properly and file is also placed in source location. I am new the XI, if anybody can give me the solution it would be really helpfull.
Thanks to all.
Korean

Hi Majin,
Check the folder path properly, check the file name( file name is case sensitive) you have given correct or not. See that your communication channel is active. Also check the cache status and check adapter status also by that you will come to know wht is the problem.
Thanks,

Publish a document from Document Workspace back to source location - missing option in SharePoint 2013

We intend to use Document Workspaces for reviewing all our Policies & Procedures.
Once all the changes to the document have been made, I am trying to publish a document from a document workspace back to the source location but the 'Send to: Publish to Source Location' option is missing in SharePoint 2013.
So instead I try to use 'Send to: Other Location' and copy / paste the URL from the original document library but this produces an error.
Has anyone come across this and if yes, know of a workaround?
A prompt response would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for your prompt feedback and response.
Once I click on the file (from the Document Workspace) and go File | Send to | Other Location and then I paste the URL from the original document library and test it and the link works. It shows me the document library of the original location. When I keep
the filename the same (as I want it to override the original document with the new changes) and then I press OK and then it produces the error? I don't know what I am doing wrong???
When I look at the second hyperlink as below I complete all the steps but after step 5 which settings do I enable in the Content Organizer: Settings & Rules? I doesn't state what I need to configure?
Enable the Content Organizer in the Destination Site
To enable the Content Organizer in the destination site, do the following:
Browse to the site you want files routed to.
Select Settings, Site Settings.
Under the Site Actions Grouping, select Manage Site Features.
Activate the Content Organizer feature.
Click Settings, Site Settings, Site Administration, configure Content Organizer Settings and Rules.
Your prompt assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Dynamic columns with Excel Source?

I have Excel file number 1 with columns A ja B.
I have database table with columns A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H etc. (there are 100 columns)
I know how to import normally data with Excel Source and OLE DB Destination with Excel file 1.
Now I have new need.
I should be able to import dynamically Excel files with any combination of columns.
It should be automatic import with For Each Container.
When new files like below is imported, I should not be make any changes to SSIS.
Excel 2) Columns A, G, X (so column A data must be added to column A in database etc)
Excel 3) Columns B, C, G, Y (so column B data must be added to column B in database etc)
Excel 4) Columns D, X
IS THIS POSSIBLE WITH SSIS? HOW?
CUSTOM CODE IS NEEDED? ANY POINTERS TO SOLUTION?
Kenny_I

How you are going to deal with the rows here?
For example,
Excel 2) Columns A, G, X (so column A data must be added to column A in database etc)
when Excel 3 files are processing are you going to update the record that you added in Excel
2.
Excel 3) Columns B, C, G, Y (so column B data must be added to column B in database etc)
Excel 4) Columns D, X
when Excel 4 files are processing what is your scenario for column X which you just added in
Excel 2. Are you going to update it or add new rows here.
As Arthur has suggested generating your package in code seems the way to go for but before that you need
to think about all the scenarios.

Picking the abc.B file if abc.A file is present in source location.

Hi All,
I need to pick a file using SFTP adapter.
In the source location two files abc.A and abc.B are placed.
abc.A is placed only after abc.B is fully processed and complete.
I need to pick and process the file abc.B ,only after finding abc.A in source location.
only abc.B should be picked ,as abc.A file is just a indicator that abc.B is fully loaded and ready to be processed.
How this can be done in SFTP adapter?Please help.
Thanks,
Akkasali.

Best way to handle this is write some Unix Sxripting program at OS level copy the file B wheneve A file present in Folder,and create one more folder on FTP to store only B file,and connect to new folder using SFTP adapter .
it will avoide burden on implementing logic in PI side.it is bit simple too,as per my exp.
no standard feature available to acieve this type of requirement i think .

Please advise on how I can find a source location using FM in APO-SNP

Hi All,
I'm able to get the list of orders using FM - BAPI_POSRVAPS_GETLIST3 but not able to find the source for the orders extracted using any function modules / BAPIs
Please advise.
Thanks
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I hope you are getting purchase requisition list in REQUIREMENT parameter table of BAPI. In that you will find ORDID and PEGIN_GUID also which is nothing but the receipt at Source Location,search for this GUID in another parameter table of RECEIPTS, there you in LOCATION field you will see the source location from where that order is getting fulfilled.
Check in PEGGING_OUTPUT_NODES / PEGGING_INPUT_NODES parameter tables also whether source location is there in location field?
If this is not the case then, You are getting list of Purchase Requisition with their GUID/ ORDID.
Pass this ORDIDs to function module, /SAPAPO/OM_ORDER_GET_DATA, here you will get all the information relevant to any order in live-cache. I think first, you have to convert ORDID from CHAR32 to CHAR22 for input to this FM.
I hope now this will help you.

Saurabh

Excel Source cannot find sheet when using Foreach Loop Container

I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I need help with Foreach Loop container.
1) I have C:\\Excel\ folder and multiple Excel.xlsx files are stored there to be imported
2) I have Foreach Loop Container
-Foreach File Enumerator is selected
-Expressions are empty
-Folder is set as C:\\Excel\
-Files is *.*
-Variable is created. User::Filename, 0
2) I have created variable FileName, String,0
3) I have Excel Connection Manager
-ExcelFilePath = @[User::FileName]
4) I have data flow task with Excel Source and OLE DB Destination
Error occured with Execute:
[Excel Source [2]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
[Excel Source [2]] Error: Opening a rowset for "SheetName$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
The issue occurs because you have not specified a valid value for the variable @FileName. The error persists even if we set the “DelayValidation” property of the Excel Connection Manager to True. After you assign a value like “C:\Excel\Test1.xlsx” (without
quotes) to the variable, the package should work fine.

Converting excel source into csv format

Hi,
I have to convert excle source into csv format.
my excel source has around 40000 records.
Please give me the suggestions how to do it.
Thanks,
Venkat

Or, if this is going to be an ongoing issue with new files needing to be converted, there are several utilities out there of various quality and price which can be considered. A quick google turned up a whole host of options for various platforms.
I can't comment on any of them as I haven't used them, but clearly there are several converters with command-line interfaces which should be capable to be utilized as an external command in your process flow.
Like: http://www.softinterface.com/Convert-XLS/Features/Convert-XLS-To-CSV.htm
Heck, if you really want to have fun and DIY, I know that there are native Perl Excel modules, so you could always build your own and make it cross-platform!

DI: Unable to read Excel source

Hi,
We use BusinessObjects Data Services XI 3.1, version 12.1.1 on UNIX Server.We have created BoExcelAdapter to read Excel source and we were not facing any issues in reading the Excel files so far.
Yesterday when we ran the job to read a new excel file, we received the error message 'Could not find worksheet ... in file ..'.
But the excel file has the specified worksheet.
Could you please guide me as to what has caused such an error and how to resolve this.
Thanks,
RaajMahee

Hi RaajMahee
Cause
On Unix, the excel adapter uses the apache poi browser to read the spreadsheet.
When the adapter tries to open the spreadsheet with the poi api, the poi api chokes and gets an exception of ArrayIndexOutofBound.
POI library does not support a feature found in the workbook
Resolution
This problem had already been addressed in the latest poi patch release, poi-3.2-FINAL-20081019.jar.
1. Download the attached file poi-3.7-20101029 and rename it to poi-FINAL-3.7-20101029.jar
2. Copy the poi-FINAL-3.7-20101029.jar file to your $LINK_DIR/lib directory of your Unix/Linux server.
3. Through the Data Services Management Console, stop the excel adapter.
4. Using the Data Services Management console, modify the Excel Adapter's class path and replace the reference to poi- 2.5.1-final-20040804.jar with its full path with poi-FINAL-3.7-20101029.jar with its full path.
5. Save and restart the adapter.
6. Try again processing the Excel file with formulas.
if you want to download the poi-3.7-20101029 file just follow the link
