Extract Data from a Blob field

I have a BLOB type field in a Table. Now I would like to have a Pl/Sql code or C code which could read the data in the BLOB field which is in XML format. Actually the data in the BLOB a record and I would like to take only required data from the BLOB and insert into another Table

You might want to look at these OTN articles:
[list][*]Managing Web Content
[*]Customizing Content with XML
[list]
These apps use CLOBs instead of BLOBs to store XML documents, but they might give you some ideas.
Good luck,

Downloading data from a BLOB Field using mod_plsql

Hi,
I am trying to use the mod_plsql to download data from a blob field, I have a web page where I can pick the file name to be downloaded from the documents table This table has the BLOB field that has the Data formatted in a text file format(contains carriage returns), when I open it up in the browser it is displaying it correctly , but when I right click on the file name and choose "Save Target As" and save it as text file it is ignoring the carriage returns and displaying entire blob in one line.
Can somebody help me figure out why it's not recognizing the carriage returns?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Is there a way to retrieve data from a blob field and save it to temp table.Why would you want to do that?
Can you provide some more details regarding your requirement?
(Don't forget to mention your database version as well)
Also, I wonder why you've added a 'decompress' tag to your question?
edit, after seeing Tubby's reply
Dang, the connection must be frozen here ;)

Need to extract data from a BLOB

I have a blob that I need to pull some data out of and insert into a table that already contains the blob.
My thought is to use something like instr or substr and have it return the values to the appropriate column for the appropriate blob. Am I on the right road?
Is there any examples you could provide that will lead me in the right direction?
The data that I am looking for is at least preceded by a word: for example
I am looking for an assigned_id number At least the number itself is preceded by something like Assigned ID: 123456
It may not always be in the same place in the document but I am hoping that there is some way to traverse over the document find the word assigned id and then take that vale to insert into the table
Any help would be appreciated

The subject is BLOB ... not CLOB. The demo you linked is for CLOB.
That said the DBMS_LOB package contains both SUBSTR and INSTR functions.
Demos here:
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/dbms_lob.html
One small warning though ... taking a substring of binary data may or may not yield anything of value. How are you going to determine the offset?

What key fields should i set in DSO extracting data from 2LIS_02_ITM

hi experts
i extract data from 2LIS_02_ITM into a DSO, i know the DSO isn't a must, becoz the 2LIS_02_ITM delta type is ABR, but i want to keep the info in change log.
so, what the key fields should i set in the dso? just ebeln and ebelp is enough?
hunger for ur advice and thanks a lot!

If you extract ITM toa DSO you cannot maintain a log of every change....the data will come ....but when the data must be activated the reference of the ebelp ebeln will remain only a single record....if you want to maintain all the data you must create another field in extractor with you can difference all the changes for one single ebelp ebeln...

How to extract data from the fields present in two or three tables

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where i have to extract data from the fields of different tables. e.g. let there 2 tables which have some number of fields . I want the data of 3 fields each from these 2 tables. How can i get that??
Sam

Hi
You can create view in tcode se11..
here you include all tables from which you want to fetch the data..
you need to give selection condition here
eg..
say select empname from table A, select empadd from table B.. where empno(from A)=empno(from B)
(note that you dont need to write queries like this.. i have just given u the example)
After creating the view you can create datasource in RSO2..

Monitoring using a Dashboard - How do you extract data from different fields?

I have a situation where a Dashboard needs to be made to monitor the state of different SAP systems.
Within individual Systems I know its easy to monitor the systems using CCMS (rz20), but my question is, How do you get to pull out the data that is displaying on the CCMS screen so that it could be taken and displayed on a dashboard. A dashboard could be a JAVA program that displays data from various such fields and displays maybe on a TV screen.
What I found so far was,
in rz20
Click on Performance Overview.
click on CPU Utilization
So, I place my mouse pointer on Value '2' for User CPU Utilization and hit F1 and then click on Technical Details
Now even if I place my mouse pointer on Value '1'' for User CPU Utilization and hit F1 and then click on Technical Details I get the same screen as above.
So, My question is, How do we determine what data sits in what field?
The aim again is to read these data and populate an external Dashboard.
The current Systems are not connected to SolMan as we do not have a SolMan setup yet. I am just trying to make a Dashboard using the existing CCMS tool.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bevin

Hello Bevin,
There are other transactions : ST06N/OS07N to check performance data, see note:
#371023 - OS07/ST06: Monitoring operating system data
#1084019 - OS07N: New operating system monitor
All CCMS agents can copy data from the SAPOSCOL shared memory segment to the CCMS monitoring segment and transfer it to a central
monitoring system. This means that the data is visible in the CCMS monitoring architecture and is displayed both in the familiar transactions ST06
and OS07 and in the Alert Monitor (transaction RZ20)
Operating System Collector SAPOSCOL:

Unable to extract data from an AS/400 system.

Hello experts.
We are trying to extract data from an AS/400 system but not having any success until now.
I´ll write down you the stepts that we have followed until now:
1.- Create a DB Connect between both systems
2.- Create a Source System from AS400 in the workbench under DB Connect Directory
3.- Generate datasources from tebles specified in the schema of the connection
break point -
At this point, we had a problem with some tables with at least one fieldname containing character "Ñ".
After asking some possible solutions to SAP, the told us this is not supported, as the system can´t have any object with character "Ñ", so the transfer structure was unable to activate with this fields in the datasource.
--- end of brek point --
4.- After those issues, we´ve decided to implement, in another schema, views from those tables which had the fieldnames with that character "Ñ", changing them to an "N".
5.- We´ve created another source system with that schema, and user than can see that schema.
6.- To be able to see those views, in transaction RSDBC, we had to deactivate the two checkboxes in the first window ( Choose tables and Choose views) .
7.- Right afeter, we could generate correctly the datasources from this logical tables.
8.- We have designed the hole dataflow for this datasources and everithing went rigth.
9.- But wen we tried to execute the infopackage to extract data from those logic tables, we cannot get any registers. Acctualy the charge remains yellow after the job have finished.
Please, I would appreciate any help you could give us on this problem.
Thank you very much
Regards
Joaquin

I´d like ti add something to this thread, and maybe clarify a littel bit the question.
The only way that the BW system recognizes those logical tables, through transaction RSDBC is checking out the two boxes on this transaction, "Select Tables" and "Select Views".
I don´t know haw these logical tables have been created, bus does this mean that the are not neither tables or views as BW understand them.
Please, if someone knows anythin about this, answer to this thread.
Thank you very much.

Extracting data from Z-table from SAP R/3 to BW

Hi all
I want to extract data from a Z-table from SAP R/3 system to Bw system. Currently I am on BW 3.5. Since it is a Z table I dont have a standard extractor for it & I dont knw how to create it. Can anyone provide me with the step-by-step documentation of how to extract data from a non standard SAP table????

Hi
You need to create Generic Datasource on the Z-Table you want to get data from
Go to RSO2 transaction to create generic datasource .
You need to give technical name of datasource under datasource type you want and click on create. Then you can give descrption and Application component under which u want see the datasource,
enter the z table name under view/ table and save.
here you can click on check boxes to make fields hidden or selection fields.

How to extract data from 12 tables ?

Hi experts,
I want to extract data from 12 tables into bi.
How can we do this. And also can we extract some fields from
a structure?
Full points will be assigned.
Regards,
V N.

Hi,
First you need to check if the tables are standard tables or custom tables. If they are standard tables check which extractors are using those tables.
If they are not being used by any of the standard extractors then you you need to create generic datasource for the same. The same hold true for custom tables as well. For custom tables, you'll need to create generic datasource. If you search the forum for generic datasources you'll get a lot of information.
Its very important that you understand the table relationships, data volumes, if delta is possible or not, data granularity, etc for your datasource design.

How to extract data from custom made Idoc that is not sent

Hi experts,
Could you please advise if there is a way how to extract data from custom made idoc (it collects a lot of data from different SAP tables)? Please note that this idoc is not sent as target system is not fully maintained.
As by now, we would like to verify - what data is extracted now.
Any help, would be appreciated!

Hi,
The fields that are given for each segment have their length given in EDSAPPL table. How you have to map is explained in below example.
Suppose for segment1, EDSAPPL has 3 fields so below are entries
SEGMENT          FIELDNAME           LENGTH
SEGMENT1         FIELD1                   4
SEGMENT1         FIELD2                   2
SEGMENT1         FIELD3                   2
Data in EDID4 would be as follows
IDOC           SEGMENT                          APPLICATION DATA
12345         SEGMENT1                        XYZ R Y
When you are extracting data from these tables into your internal table, mapping has to be as follows:
FIELD1 = APPLICATIONDATA+0(4)        to read first 4 characters of this field, because the first 4 characters in this field would belong to FIELD1
Similarly,
FIELD2 = APPLICATIONDATA+4(2).
FIELD3 = APPLICATIONDATA+6(2).
FIELD1 would have XYZ, FIELD2 = R, FIELD3 = Y
This would remain true in all cases. So all you need to do is identify which fields you want to extract, and simply code as above to extract the data from this table.
Hope this was helpful in explaining how to derive the data.

How to extract data from structures or create a datasource using structures

Hello Friends , I have a requirement to extract data from ECC fields, but when i go look the table i found only "structures" REBD_CONTRACT_REL_L and i confirmed with ecc team that there are no table available with these fields so how do i now extract the data in BI using the fields in ecc that exist only in these Structures.
Please help me to resolve this
Thanks
Regards
Soniya

check tables
VIOBOV
(VIBDPLANOCC certainly not)
VICNCN table of the contrat
VIOROF table of the offers
VIBDOBJASS affectation of objects.
VICAINTRENO Affectation INTRENO / OBJNR / IMKEY
that will be a good start but ask again your functional persons.
If you want to upload data to BI you have to know the tables
bye
by the way a structure do not hold data.

How to Extract data from a transaction..

Hi All
There are some transactions and report programs which are used daily to produce some results and the requirement is to extract that data into BW
so how can we extract information from a transactions and programs
Any help will be really appreciated and ofcourse rewarded ...
Regards
Lisa

You can use the following methods
Method 1:
1> Create another ABAP program with logic to calculate all the fields, but instead of writing the result data to screenm, it should store it in a internal table and pass it to the extract structure.
2>Create a InfoSet query based on your ABAP program and use that InfoSet
3> Create a DataSource based on this InfoSet query and extract data from the DS to you ODS/Cube
In this method there is no Intermediate storage used.
Method 2:
1> Modify the report/transaction program to store the required data into a Transparent Table (u can create one from SE11) in addition to displaying on the screen.
2> Create a View on this transparent table (from SE11)
3> Create a DataSource on that view and extract data from that into your ODS/Cube.
Here, the required data is stored in the Table in addition to the DataTarget.
But, to implement either of these solution, you will need a decent ABAP knowledge. Else, it will give you a tough time!
Good luck!

Sree

Error while extracting data from data source 0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL, in RSA7

Hi Gurs,
I'm getting the below error while extracting data from data source 0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL, in RSA7. (Actullly this is IS Retail datasource used to push POSDM data into BI cubes)
The error is:
Update mode "Full Upload" is not supported by the extraction API
Message no. R3011
Diagnosis
The application program for the extraction of the data was called using update mode "Full Upload". However, this is not supported by the InfoSource.
System Response
The data extraction is terminated.
Procedure
Check for relevant OSS Notes, or send a problem message of your own.
Your help in this regd. would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
David.

Hi David,
I have no experience with IS Retail data sources. But as message clearly say this DS is not suppose to be ran in Full mode.
Try to switch you DTPs/Infopackages to Delta mode.
While to checking extraction in source system, within TA RSA3 = Extractor checker, kindly switch Update mode field to Delta.

Error while extracting data from ODS using Infospokes - URGENT

Hi all,
I am extracting data from an ODS using infospokes and nothing fancy, no selection criteria but I am getting an error message saying
Syntax error in row3(-> long text) Msg id = "RG" and msgno is 102
Any ideas on how I can see what is the exact error and how to debug this?
thanks
Sabrina.

Hi Sabrina
service.sap.com can help you getting the details of your mesg.
I found one OSS note suitable to your mesg. So just check out OSS note # 671097. I hope this note will be some help to you. If not go and chk in the OSS you can find some more.
Here is the note details also
<i>Symptom
Error message RG102: 'Syntax error in &1, row &2 (-> long text)' appears in the request log of an InfoSpoke.
Reason and Prerequisites
The data source is an ODS object and the extraction mode is 'delta'. The cause of the error message is that the ODS extractor is unable to select the request ID (InfoObject 0REQUID) from the change log of the ODS object. However, the request ID is mistakenly provided in the field list of the ODS object on the InfoSpoke maintenance screen. --
Solution
Delete the 0REQUID InfoObject from the field list of the InfoSpoke and activate the InfoSpoke. As of the patch mentioned below, the request ID in the template tab is no longer provided.
