Extract data on forms9i through ODBC/systemDSN

Im trying to extract data through system DSN using ODBC utility on
forms 9i , i'll be grateful if anyone help me that how can i connect to ODBC/system DSN on forms9i and inform me in this regard.
Asim

Well yeah,
That's what I have done actually (I just forgot to update this thread).
I was actually able to create views over informix tables with serial data type, using a cast to integer, and then, I was able to extract data from those informix tables.
Indeed, the DI documentation states that the serial datatype in informix is not supported in DI...
I just wonder how I could solve that if I hadn't the right to create views in the production database....
Any thoughts ?

  • Date datatype conversion through ODBC

    Using Form5 when datatype date is entered or modified, the save
    command gives error FRM-40508 unable to insert record or unable
    to update record. When checked under help to display error, the
    message in OCA-30010 error in data conversion by ODBC. The
    record in the database entered through command line having date
    field show alright in the form but if it is modified then the
    error start coming. The default date format (DD-MON-YYYY) is
    uded.
    Can you please let me know the reason of this error and how date
    datatype can be entered in the record using Forms with ODBC
    connectivity.

    If you need to pass the string parameter value to a command object as a date then you will need to use a subreport that is based on the commadn object. The main report will have the string date parameter and in a formula in the main report convert the string to a date. Link the subreport on this formula to the commadn object parameter

    It seems that you are trying to use the file as your staging areas. Hyperion LKM extracts essbase data into a DB staging area which can then be used by your file IKM to load it into file.
    You need to use a RDBMS for your staging area.

  • Extended Analytics - Is it possible to extract data from HFM to MS Access through an UDL (OBDC) file?

    Hello,
    I am trying to extract data from HFM, using Extended Analytics, to MS Access through an UDL (OBDC) file but it displays the following error:
    "error occurred while connecting to the database"
    I've followed these steps:
    1. Create a blank MS Access database (.mdb format)
    2. Create an .UDL file which connects to MS Access database:
          - Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
          - Connection: Linked to the .mdb database created in step 1.
          - Give "ReadWrite" permissions.
    3. Test .UDL file connection successfully.
    4. Create DNS with Extended Analytics DNS Configuration tool.
    5. In Extended Analytics (HFM), once selected the new DNS and extract it displays the error commented before.
    ¿Do you know how i can solve this issue?
    Thank you in advance,
    Best regards,

    Hello Anjum Ara,
    Thank you for your response.

    I have created one MS Access database in "C:\TEST.mdb" and i want to connect Extended Analytics to it.
    How i have to add this database into tnsnames.ora file?
    Thank you in advance,

  • Does ODBC encrypts data while passing through the network?

    Does ODBC encrypts data while passing through the network?

    ODBC uses the underlying Oracle networking components to transmit data. By default, these components do not encrypt data, although they can be made to do so-- see the "SSL Encryption" thread from a few days ago.

  • How can i extract data strings (temp. press. rel.hum etc) using a Virtual interface through an RS-232 connection​?

    How can i extract data strings (temperature, pressure, relative humidity etc) using a Virtual interface through an RS-232 connection?

    Try this.  It is in LV 8.5.
    Note the double % in the format string.  This is so the % in the input string is treated as a percent rather than a code.
    You may also have to work with the line feed characters in case they are different in the string coming in compared to how the string shows up in the web browser.

  • Error in extracting data through function module

    Hi All
             Need  ur help .I am extracting data from crm thru function module.I have copied RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE and modified it by using code.I am getting an error while testing extraction
    Structure I have created ztest_01
    Data Source :zmgc_ds1.
    There 3 crm tables from where data is picked crmd_orderadm_h,crmd_customer_h,crmd_order_index.
    I am attaching the code,can any body help me in correctring the error.Tell me if tthe placing of the code in the template is correct.please give details.
    Error which I got:
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FUNC', was
      not caught in
    procedure "RSA3_GET_DATA_SIMPLE" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a
      RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The program "SAPLRSA3" contains the CALL FUNCTION statement.
    The name of the function module to be called is "ZRSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE_01"
    but "ZRSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE_01" cannot be found in its function group.
    Possible reasons:
    a) The function module "ZRSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE_01" has not been activated.
      Therefore,
        it cannot be found at runtime.
    b) The Function Library contains an incorrect entry for
      "ZRSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE_01".
    c) The function module contains no code, even FUNCTION ... ENDFUNCTION
        is missing.
    You help would be appreciated.
    Don't worry about points,.

    Did you create your function module without problems...assigned the Z* function group? activate the function module? i assume that you copy the function module code and the variables definition on TOP include of RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE

  • Extracting data from multiple datasources through DAC

    We have to extract data from two Oracle datasources (GL datasource 1 and GL datasource 2) by DAC client to one Datawarehouse. We have configured DAC for one datasource and it is working fine. How can we add another datasource into the same DAC client.
    Neeraj

    You will need to update the Source DB connections in both the DAC and Informatica Workflow before you want to load the DW with the other GL Database. You will contnuously have to switch these configuration settings or stand up another DAC Server, Repository and Client that point to the same Datawarehouse.

  • 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.

  • Error trying to extract data via HFM objects

    I've written a program to extract selected data from HFM (version 11.1.1.3.500) using the API objects. The program (shown at the bottom of this post) is failing on the 2nd of the following 2 lines:
    oOption = oOptions.Item(HSV_DATAEXTRACT_OPT_SCENARIO_SUBSET)
    oOption.CurrentValue = lBudgetScenario
    where oOption is a data load/extract object previously initialized and lBudgetScenario is the long internal ID for our budget scenario.
    The error is usually "COM Exception was unhandled" with a result code of "0x800456c7", but, mysteriously, even with no code changes, it sometimes throws the error "FileNotFoundException was not handled", where it says that it could not load "interop.HSXServerlib or one of its dependencies". The second error occurs even though HSXServer was previously initialized in the program and used in conjunction with the login.
    I've carefully traced through the VB.NET 2010 code and find that all relevant objects are instantiated and variables correctly assigned. It also occurred to me that the data load DLLs might have been updated when the 11.1.1.3.50 and 500 patches were applied. For that reason, I removed the references to those DLLs, deleted the interop files in the debug and release folders and copied the server versions of those DLLs to my PC. I then restored the DLL references in Visual Studio which recreated the interops. However, the error still occurs.
    The ID I'm using (changed to generic names in the code below) has appropriate security and, for example, can be used to manually extract data for the same POV via the HFM client.
    I've removed irrelevant lines from the code and substituted a phony ID, password, server name and application name. The line with the error is preceded by the comment "THE LINE BELOW IS THE ONE THAT FAILS".

    Function GetMemberID(ByVal lDimID As Long, ByVal strMemLabel As String) As Long
    Dim oMetaData As HSVMETADATALib.HsvMetadata
    oMetaData = oSession.Metadata
    oEntityTreeInfo = oMetaData.Dimension(lDimID)
    GetMemberID = oEntityTreeInfo.GetItemID(strMemLabel)
    End Function
    End Module

    I stumbled upon the solution to my problem. The documentation for extracting data via objects defines member ID variables as Longs. In fact, I've always defined such variables as longs in previous object programs and had no problems. It appears that the datal load/extract "option" property of "Currentvalue" is defined as integer. When I changed all of my member ID items (such as the "lBudgetScenario" variable that was the right-side of the failing assignment statement) to be integers, the program worked.

  • Is it possible to save / extract data from a MS SQL database 2008 using lookout 6.2?

    Is it possible to save / extract data from a MS SQL database 2008 using lookout 6.2?
      Now a days we are saving / extracting data in a excel spreadsheet, but we would like to do that using a database because it is better.

    You can use ODBC connection to work with SQL Server database.
    Use SQLExec object to execute the SQL statement. Here is a KB about the SQL statement.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4ADEEA04CD24AE0B862565E20002A16F?OpenDocument
    To write data to spreadsheet is more straightforward because Lookout has built-in spreadsheet object. But you need to write SQL statement by yourself to interact with other database.
    To read the data back is the same way. Just use "select" SQL statement to query. You can use Datatable object to query.
    The "Data Source" can be "DSN = data source name;". The data source name is configured in Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources(ODBC).

  • Is it possible to change the dimension order when extracting data from HFM?

    Hello,
    When accessing Consolidation/Extract/Data is it possible to change the dimension order of the extract rather than extracting the standard order?
    I can see you can change the dimension order visually by going to "Reorder dimensions" but this does not carry through to the actual extract.
    If its not possible using this method is there another method? Trying to avoid using smartview for this purpose.
    Many thanks and kind regards,
    Rich

    Hi,
    No, it is not possible to change the order type.
