Extract Data via ReportWriter

What is the maximum width that can be written?Harold

The default maximum width is 256 data columns - I don't think that includes dimensions that are set to be <ROW dimensions.Unless a new CFG or report command has been added in one of the newer versions, I don't think this value can be changed. I couldn't find anything in the Essbase.cfg documentation.Regards,Jade----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

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".
Imports HSVCDATALOADLib.HSV_DATAEXTRACT_OPTION
Module Module1
Public lActualScenario, lBudgetScenario As Long

End If
End Sub

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.

How to extract data via webservices and configure webservices in BI 7

Hi to all,
Can any body tell me How to extract data via webservices and configure webservices in BI 7.
i have created a remote functionmodule which extract data from R/3 , now i want to upload data to BI 7 using that remote function module.
i have use webservice (push) as adapter mode, as i want to connect function module with SOAP , via web services.
please can any body tell how to do that.
also how to configure the webserive , what is it .
I SHALL BE THANKFULL TO YOU FOR THAT
Regards
Pavneet rana

Hi,
1. Using the function library (transaction SE37), call the Web service creation wizard.
To do this, select the desired function module in the function library and choose Utilities ®Generate Web Service ® From the Function Module.
2. Go through the following steps, shown in the wizard:
a. Create a virtual interface.
The virtual interface represents the interface between the Web Service and the outside.
b. Choose the end point.
The name of the function module that is to be offered as Web service is already entered here.
c. Create the Web service definition.
The Web service definition helps with assigning the Web service features, such as how security can be guaranteed in data transfer.
d. Release the Web service.
The wizard generates the object virtual interface and Web service definition in the object navigator.
The function group that was generated when the XML DataSource was created is not transportable and is thus assigned to a local package. To prevent errors due to transports, make sure that the objects that were generated in the Web service creation wizard are assigned to a local non-transportable package.
The Web service is released for the SOAP runtime.
3. In the virtual interface for the import parameter DATASOURCE, define the name of the XML DataSource as the fixed value.
A separate function group is generated for each XML DataSource. It makes sense to pre-assign the parameter DATASOURCE with the name of the XML DataSource in the virtual interface of the Web service for which the function group was generated.
If you do not pre-assign the parameter, it will be necessary to transfer the data sent with the appropriate filled DataSource element, for example, by setting the value in the application that implements the Web service.
a. In the object navigator, choose the name of the package in which the Web service was created and choose Enterprise Services ® Web Service Library ® Virtual Interfaces.
b. Choose Change in the context menu for the virtual interface.
c. For the virtual interface, remove the flags exposed and initial and enter the name of the XML DataSource in apostrophes, for example u20196ADATASOURCENAMEu2019.
d. Activate the virtual interface.
Regards,
Marasa.

% Wildcard selection - extract data via Query as a Web Service

Hello all,
I am using Query as a Web Service to extract data through to my Xcelsius document. I have a series of charts that display summed data according to user selections within some combo boxes.
Is there any way to send through a wildcard selection, i.e. pass a " like '%' " query string somehow through to the database?
With the query that I have created:
I have a measure value returned
I have 4 filter objects
I have selected the "Prompt" option for each
Within the Data Manager, the prompt fields are assigned to cells which reference the combo box selections
When I build the query, the selections available are many (equal to, not equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to, etc), but there is no 'like' comparison.
Alternatively, is there a way that I can pass the selected parameter values, including " like '%' " if no value is selected within a dropdown, to the original measure calculations within the universe?
I hope this makes sense, let me know if I need to clarify anything. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Marco

Very easy solution - select 'matches pattern' within the filter objects selection when building the query.
Don't know why I didn't try this earlier.

Error while extracting data via UD Connect

Hi,
Trying for the first time to connect Oracle data base/JDBC connection type via UD connect(we are in BI 7.0).While creating the data source and assigning UD Connect source object in the extraction tab,following error is obtained" UDCADAPTERROR::RSSDK100 ,cannot open connection"
Appreciate if anybody can advice me on this..checked the RFC connection in BW and its working ok.

Extracting data via iDoc

Hello,
We have implemented a scenario where data from external systems is transferred to BW (3.2) via Idocs. We have generated the required Idoc-types and Segements to contain that data.
How can we best read the data from those iDocs into the infoproviders? Are there standard ways of doing so?
Regards

Hello,
no there are no standard ways to extract IDOC Informartion.
The only ways I see are:
- use the standard extracotrs!!!
- write your own extractor to read the IDOC information
- use XI in bewtween for transformation from IDOC format to BW format
hope this helps
kind reg.

Extracting Data via DATAEXPORT command in CalcScript

Hi
I have cube with the following dimensions :-
Accounts - ACC1 , ACC2 , ACC3
Years - 2005 , 2006 , 2007 , 2008 , 2009 , 2010 , 2011 , 2012
Region - R1 , R2 , R3 , R4
Product - P1, P2 , P3
Now these members above are just for examples. I want to export the zero level data for 2005, 2006 , 2007 , 2008 , 2009 , 2010 and I want the output in the following format : -
Acc1,2005,R1,P1,"DATA"
Acc2,2005,R1,P1,"DATA"
Acc3,2005,R1,P1,"DATA"
Acc1,2006,R1,P1,"DATA"
Is it possible to get such an output, I pretty new to essbase, would be great if someone can explain how?
Thanks in advance

assuming you only had those four dimensions, then using dataexport it is not possible, you have to have at least one column that is from a dense dimension. Assuming a report script or jexport cdf, the same is true. You always need to have something that represents the columns.

How to extract data from BPC InfoCube via ABAP program?

Hi experts!!
I tried to extract data from a BPC InfoCube via ABAP program, but I did'n have succeed.
I used the function 'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ' to extract data from standard InfoCubes such as '0COPC_C07' and it run OK! However, when I change the InfoCube name to '/CPMB/WAIX8NE' (BPC InfoCube), everything goes wrong...
Is there any difference between extracting data from BPC and standard InfoCubes?
Thank you all!

Extract data from SAP and send to external system via Webmethods & IDOC's

Hi,
We need to Extract data from SAP and send to an external system via Webmethods middlewear using IDOCs. I have never used webmethods before and would like to know more about how to implement this scenario. I have used IDOCS in an EDI scenario before but not used it along with WebMethods.
Any pointers would be of great help. Thanks

If you have already ABAP programs /BAPI's in place then try to develop RFC interface and write some back ground programs to scheudl BAPI's and develop scenario but you need to implement error handling , data validation in PI mapping level.
or
take help from ABAPer to design in ABAP like writing Proxy program to pull data and send it PI.
if you are dealing with master data bit risky(correctness) but can be achived using PI.

How to extract data from BCS consolidation cube to Group BW extraction cube

Gurus,
I have to figure out a way to extract data from a local BCS consolidation totals cube to a group BW extraction cube via a virtual cube in between the too...How can i do the extraction and what are the different ways in which it can be done..
Detailed steps would be appreciated....also how shud i proceed towards this...
Thanks
Cheers:

Hi Sam,
Instead of extracting you can also consider reporting on the data with a multiprovider.
There is a doc here that might be useful

Error while extracting data from Generic VBAK Table

Hi,
When i am extracting data from VBAK using generic extraction via tavle, i am, getting the error "Syntax error in program "SAPLXRSA ""
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "SAPLRSAP" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    The following syntax error occurred in program "SAPLXRSA " in include "ZXRSAU01

Please help me out in fixing this,
Thansk,

do you have an user-exit? if yes, post the code....
did you try regenerating the entire stuff (ds, structure,...)...there might be a mismatch between the structures of datasource and the generated extraction program....

Error while extracting data to replicated partition (EAL)

Hi,
I´m using Essbase Analytics. I want to create a copy of my HFM application in Essbase.
So I´ve created a new bridge. In the Essbase tab of the bridge I choose "Replicated partition", because I want the data in Essbase directly, not in the EAL server.
So EAL created the application, database and the outline.
In the extract tab I select my created region and click "Extract data". After some time it ends, but no data is stored in the essbase database!
The log file of the EAL server says: Extract region requested (time stamp is the beginning of the process)
Has anyone an idea??
Thanks, Stefan
P.S.: The creation of an transparent partition works fine and I can see data via Smartview.

We use EAL with the transparent partition option without any issues. We write some report scripts to export the data from the app and load into another essbase app periodically for reporting. We can also use smartview or the add-in to pull data directly from the EAL essbase apps.
What are you trying to do that requires you to use a replicated partition? We were told transparent was the preferred method and so we used that option.

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.

Need to pre-populate and Extract data from static PDF form

Hi Jasmin or Jayan or anyone else that can answer.
I have a requirement to use Digital Signatures. Because of that, the forms must be static PDFs and the form variables will be “document form”. I want to pre-populate the form via an SQL query and custom render process and render it as PDF so that the submitter can apply a digital signature when he/she is done and ready to submit for approvalSubsequent approvers will also digitally sign the form. I know that I will specify the custom render to render only once and thereby preserve the signature(s) on the form. I do, however, need to extract data from the form to control the business process. I cannot access the data in the form the same way I do with an xdp and I also cannot pre-populate the same way I do with an xdp.
Any suggestions on how to attack this?

Parth, one problem with your approach is he will submit PDF and therefore you won't be able to put the PDF in a variable that's suppose to contain just xml.
The prepopulation should be the same. If you start off with an xdp, then you will call a render service that merges data with your xdp to create a PDF.
Now when you submit, you will submit the entire PDF back in the Document Form variable. In Workbench, you can use the FormDataIntegration service to extract data from that PDF that's being stored under Document Form var/object/document and put it in an xml variable. Then you can just use xPath to do your condition.
I'm assuming you'll just pass that same Document Form variable to the next step, because if you do any change to the PDF it'll brake the signature.
Let me know if I missed anything.
Jasmin
