Extracting BFOD_A and BFOK_A

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to extract BFOD_A and BFOK_A tables into BW. I know there is no standard datasources for the same and I need to opt for 2 custom datasources.
Challenge is in extracting delta. How do I make custom datasources for these 2 tables delta enabled.
I searched a lot on scn but couldn't find any solution. Has anybody implemented datasources which are delta enabled for BFOD_A and BFOK_A ?
Regards,
Mihir

Mihir,
I am searching a way to do it as well. But looks like unless there is a timestamp field added to these tables , nothing can be done at the Extractor level.
We are currently doing a Full load that takes almost 1 day to complete. It's cumbersome.
Lets see if we can find a solution to it

Extract parent and child data from an XML sequence?

I'm very new to XML, so please excuse me if I use incorrect terminology here. I've been given a schema definition (.xsd), and several sample xml files from which I need to extract data and insert it into relational tables. I've made some progress in that I've been able to hack enough to modify and register the schema and get the XML into the database both through the registered schema and into a separate table with an XMLType column. I've also been able to use the isSchemaValid function to validate the XML against the schema definition, and I've been able to extract some of the simple data elements via the extractValue function. My problem is with extracting some of the nested data - that is, extracting parent node elements and child node elements together where there is more than one value in the child node. BTW. I'm on Oracle 10gR2.
Following are the .xsd and and sample XML. Specifically, I need to select the NPI value from the PROVIDER node, and associate it with each of the CODE values from the SPECIALTIES node (which is part of the PROVIDER node).
Here's the .xsd (sorry, it's very long). The only modifications I've made to the schema definition are to add the xdb namespace and the "xdb:defaultTable="HMOSCHEMA" snippet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

As you can see, the SPECIALTIES node can contain more than one CODE value, si I can't use extractValue to retrieve them. Again, I need to extract the NPI value from the PROVIIDER node, and associate it with each of the CODE values from the SPECIALTIES node. So, what I would need to extract from this sample XML would be:
NPI CODE
1111111111 170
2222222222 322
2222222222 329
This seems like it should be a pretty routine requirement, but I've tried everything I can think of (that is, everything I've learned to this point), and have not yet found a way............
Ideally, the solution to extracting this data would utilize SQL (not PL/SQL, or Java, or XSL, etc) with XML extraction functions (e.g. extract, extractValue, XMLSequence, XMLTable, etc).
Can anyone provide me with an example of how that iterative specialy code data could be extracted? Do I need to modify the .xsd to facilitate this extraction (so that registration of the schema results in other objects in the database)?
Any suggestions or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Dan
P.S. - I hope the XML displays OK when I post this question!

Hi,
Thanks for your detailed sample, it's very helpful.
This seems like it should be a pretty routine requirementIndeed, that's a classic (once you've got the method).
So, here's how you can do it :
SELECT x1.npi, x2.code
FROM t,
     XMLTable(
      '/HMO/PROVIDERS/PROVIDER'
      passing t.doc
      columns
        npi number path 'NPI',
        specialties xmltype path 'SPECIALTIES'
     ) x1,
     XMLTable(
      'SPECIALTIES/CODE'
      passing x1.specialties
      columns
        code number path '.'
     ) x2
;Assuming the XML is stored in column T.DOC.
As you see, for each NPI, the trick is to pass the entire SPECIALTIES node (kind of a join) to another nested XMLTable so that each CODE could be extracted as well.
There's another method using only one XMLTable and a little more complex XQuery. I'll try to post it soon.
HTH.
Edit : 2nd method
SELECT x.*
FROM t,
     XMLTable(
      'for $i in /HMO/PROVIDERS/PROVIDER/SPECIALTIES/CODE
       return element e
        attribute npi { $i/../../NPI },
        $i/text()
      passing t.doc
      columns
        npi number path '@npi',
        code number path '.'
     ) x

Extracting Pages and Error Message

My Adobe works great. I couldn't ask for a better product. However I have received a PDF file from a customer and I need to extract pages and insert them into another PDF. When I go to extract the pages I get an error message "Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and them the program shuts down. It is only with this one document and I can't find much information as to why this is happening. Any ideas?
Thank You!

This sounds like an issue with the sort order display in Windows Explorer. If you use the File > Open dialog in Acrobat the files should display correctly.
If you're previewing the PDFs in Windows Explorer try clicking the Name button underneath the toolbar to change the sort order from ascending to descending, then a single click again should display them correctly.

Extract Customer and Vendor master data

Hi,
Can any one tell me the standard program name in 4.6C to extract Customer and Vendor master data?
Other than SQL query, is there any possible way to extract customer and vendor master data?
Thanks,
Siva

Extract Pages- and the Split- not doing what I expect them to

I have a document created in Illustrator (CS4) which has multiple artboards. I want it split into multiple documents, one art board—> one document with only that artwork. When I use the Extract PAges… and the Split… comands to generate multiple documents, I get the multiple docs (same number of docs created as pages in original doc).
Only thing is every doc has all the artboards and all the artwork as the original doc. I could understand all the artwork being there but all the artboards also?? What's going on?
Appreciate any pointers on this.
Trying to write a JSX to run in AI but struggling so far. Thread for AI solution started here: AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards

I don't expect mind reading but I'l settle for careful reading
I tried to explain how pages and artboards are qualitatively different objects only to be told they are the same thing and that's all I needed to say.
I tried to explain that opening the very same file in Illustrator showed a lot more objects than it did in Acrobat. You probably don't remember because you breezed over something that you didn't think you needed to know because you were, at each stage, a step ahead of me (slow down already!).
From my second post:
I can't remember if Splitting gave enumerate files or the one file but either way ALL the artwork was in the enumerate files if they got made [.…] I ended up saving as CS3 .ai files which gives a Save artboards to seperate files option and, unlike the artboard range option on Save As PDF, it actually works.
From my third post
An artboard is not a page as far as Acrobat and Illustrator apps are concerned. I was trying to highlight the distinctly different way the two apps handle them. I can watch a one page with just one shape document in Acrobat become a 20 artboard, 40+ objects layout in Illustrator. Same document interpreted as one Page in Acrobat and 23 artboards in AI.
I was on this forum because even a manual Document Menu> Split… command is not doing what I expected with the AI generated 23pp PDF file. I expected the 23 individual 'artboards' and content to each make a separate file.
Thom Parker wrote:
I don't remember you mentioning that you re-imported the PDF files into Illustrator. This is an important detail. You also posted to an Acrobat scripting forum and never said you were not interested in an Acrobat Script. You also never explained the problem you were seeing. You were never clear.
Covered that but note Illustrator doesn't import PDF files. .ai .eps and .pdf are all native files for Illustrator and just open, sometimes with an additional dialogue to choose a page from multiple pages. It imports .dwg, .svg and that sort of thing relying on translator plugins. This is the fourth time I'm saying I should have posted in Acrobat Win or Mac not scripting, apologies I was scripting when I made OP and probably frustrated. You were more clear it's true, clearly ignoring what I was getting at in each post re artboard cf. page objects.
You see, in a PDF file each page has it's own content stream, i.e., a stream of vector graphics operators. Graphics can be drawn anywhere in the coordinate space, but the page view is clipped by a crop rectangle. So graphics can exist in the stream, but never be visible to the user because they are outside the crop. I get the impression that in Illustrator the Artboards all exist in a single coordinate space? And that the conversion to PDF places this entire coordinate space into a single content stream. Then each page would be a different crop of the same content stream. If this is the case then I believe there are PDF optimization operations in Acrobat that would fix your problem by removing all content outside the crop.
Yeah I've hacked lots of PDF files in AI. They use more than one clipping rect per page from memory. Correct, the artboards are defined in a single co-ord space it would seem — artboards are discretely and independently located on the document canvas and can even overlap each other. Yes those operations might work, I never though of that, I came across an Illustrator based solution early on in this thread. There's no conversion going on in Acrobat though I think, the file stays native PDF from AI to Acrobat and back to AI. As I've noted it's the way Acrobat displays or parses the data that in effect hides all the 'off-page' objects but open the same file in AI and it's all still there.
You know, we can't read minds, you actually have to explain what it is you need.
I didn't know it, but I needed to get a confirmation on the artboardRange property bug in Illustrator CS4 and/or a confirmation that artboards are not treated as page objects, and I ended up having to lecture you on something you may have no interest in, sorry if I've been a pain. This is part of bigger bug elsewhere that I've been trying to get resolved or around on and off for a month. Every turn another bug, it gets confusing and frustrating at times

I have a document created in Illustrator (CS4) which has multiple artboards. I want it split into multiple documents, one art board—> one document with only that artwork. When I use the Extract PAges… and the Split… comands to generate multiple documents, I get the multiple docs (same number of docs created as pages in original doc).
Only thing is every doc has all the artboards and all the artwork as the original doc. I could understand all the artwork being there but all the artboards also?? What's going on?
Appreciate any pointers on this.

How to find all the Master data extract structures and Extractors

I intend to create Master data dimensions closely similar to SAP BI in a 3rd party system. I would like to use SAP's standard extractors for populating the master data structures in SAP BI and then use a proprietary technology to create similar structures in a 3rd party database.
Question: How to get a complete list of all Master data extract structures and corresponding extractors?
Example: In ECC if I do SE80 and give 'Package' and 'MDX' and then press the 'display' spectacles, I get a list of structures and views under "dictionary objects" covering Material, Customer, Vendor, Plant Texts and attributes.
How do I get the remainder of the Master data extract structures viz. Purchase Info Records, Address, Org Unit etc?
Regards
Sasanka

Hi,
try the table ROOSOURCE and search the data source with string in astrick attr for master data and for text with text
This will give you the list of all the master data source in the system and it contains a column which tells about the extract structure and function module used by each.
Thanks

How to learn to extract data and group it

I recently met a guy who is looking to employ some folks. He got in touch with me in LinkedIn. I have done my research and I know he’s a real guy looking for people. I would like to get the job despite of the poor work conditions but I just feel the fear of failing or not being capable to do the job.
I know I have to try and it will be great if some of you could give some advice on how to do the job or how can I self-learn this. I'm ready to read books and follow instructions. Last year, I did a DBA internship so, I’m familiar with PL/SQL but I didn’t cover information on how to programme or gather data.
Here’s bit of the job information: "The work is to programme in PL/SQL to extract data and group it. You will learn how to make indexes and work with massive data. You will learn about programming performance in PL-SQL to extract data".
I have translated the job info from Spanish to English so, I hope you can get what I’m actually looking for. For the ones that can speak Spanish, this is what the guy wrote: "El trabajo es programar en PL/SQL para extraer datos y centralizarlos. Va a aprender a realizar índices y trabajar con datos masivos. Va a aprender mucho sobre performance de programación en PL-SQL para extraer datos".
Thanks! Gracias!

Hi chaituatp,
For this requirement, I would suggest you to get familiar with how to create VSTO applications, and how SharePoint object model works. Here are some sample code about this:

How to add new table into running extract pump and replicat files

Hi all, i am very much confused how we should add a new table for replication into extract pump and replicat parameter files without stopping them manually? Is there any way where we can add them without disturbing functionality of OGG?
Experts help required on this
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can stop and restart the extract process after modifying the extract prm files. the current and last reading point details available checkpoint tables ,or it can get it from info command itself , so you can start the extract process at the point of particular RBA or SEQ no, but you make sure the retention period of your archive log files, because all the transactions are moved in to archive log location, so extract process will fetch the data from archive log also,
Documentation states:
If Extract abends when a long-running transaction is open, it can seem to take a long time
to recover when it is started again. To recover its processing state, Extract must search
back through the online and archived logs (if necessary) to find the first log record for that
long-running transaction. The farther back in time that the transaction started, the longer
the recovery takes, in general, and Extract can appear to be stalled.
Why archive logs?
GG reads online redo logs in default but when they are all switched, and for some reason in the meantime GG stopped (abended) it doesn't have the last transaction as transaction was in online log that switched. That is why you need archive logs, so that GG can reach this old transaction in archive log.
E.g you have two online logs, your transaction is at the begining of the first log. Extract abends. Transactions keep coming to database first online log switches to second, second switches to first and first again to second. You start GG but transaction you finished processing on is no longer in first online log. But it is in archive log.
What to do?
1) Start Oracle in archive log mode
2) Make sure you have available space for archive logs
GG will look into Oracle default location for archive logs when it abends and transaction is no longer in online log.

Extracting operators and operands from the source code

Hi there,
I am looking for a way to extract operators and operands from a source code to do a complexity analysis of the code. The final outcome I am expecting is to get the number of operators and operands in the code, to perform a Halstead Complexity Analysis.
Please let me know how this parsing can be done apart from just doing a sequential search of the content in the file.
Any samples and references are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Aravinda777

Common way to analyze code is to defining the things you are interested in using some approproate language and then using a parser generator (or compiler compiler = cc). I used antlr some time ago for this reason. Perhaps you want to take a look at it:
