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 insert data into a table from an xml document

using the XmlSql Utility, how do I insert data into a table from an xml document, using the sqlplus prompt.
if i use the xmlgen.insertXML(....)
requires a CLOB file, which i dont have, only the xml doc.
Cant i insert directly from the doc to the table?
the xmlgen examples I have seen first convert a table to a CLOB xmlString and then insert it into another table.
Isnt there any other way?

Your question is little perplexing.
If you're using XML SQL Utility from
the commandline, just use putXML.

How do I run a database procedure that inserts data into a table from withi

How do I run a database procedure that inserts data into a table from within a Crystal report?
I'm using CR 2008 with an Oracle 10i database containing a number of database tables, procedures and packages that provide the data for the reports I'm developing for my department. However, I'd like to know when a particular report is run and by whom. To do this I have created a database table called Report_Log and an associated procedure called prc_Insert_Entry that inserts a new line in the table each time it's called. The procedure has 2 imput parameters (Report_Name & Username), the report name is just text and I'd like the username to be the account name of the person logged onto the PC. How can I call this procedure from within a report when it's run and provide it with the 2 parameters? I know the procedure works, I just can't figure out how to call it from with a report.
I'd be grateful for any help.
Colin

Hi Colin,
Just so I'm clear about what you want:
You have a Stored procedure in your report. When the report runs, you want that same procedure to write to a table called Report_Log.
If this is what you want the simple answer is cannot be done. Crystal's fundamental prupose is to read only, not write. That being said, there are ways around this.
One way is to have a trigger in your database that updates the Report_Log table when the Stored Procedure is executed. This would be the most efficient.
The other way would be to have an application run the report and manage the entry.
Good luck,
Brian

HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

I cant see any join conditions in your query posted. Whats the purpose of the query above. It will just bring you a cartesian product (cross join) of tables involved subjected to filters. Are you sure this is the correct query?
The error you're getting may be because you've not yet populated DimProduct or may be because of logic you used in popultaing DimProduct causing it to miss some records which is what query is referring to in above case.

Extract Data in Power Pivot from MDX with diffrentnt different Level of Hierarchy in MDX

Hi All,
My requirement is to extract the data form tabular model and put in power pivot,as all the measures calculation is present in model just extracting the aggregated data.
Issue is appearing on Rolling up the data, so is there any way to extract the data so that it will display the right data on different level. As per the below example on level 2 data is getting summed up which is not correct.
Ex:-
Level1
A
10%
B
20%
Level2
30%
Thanks Chandan

Hi Chandan,
According to your description, you create a SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular model and extract Data in Power Pivot from MDX, the problem is that the hierarchy data rolling up base on the hierarchy level, right?
I have tested it on my local environment, we cannot reproduce this issue. So as per my understanding, the issue can be cause by the hierarchy setting in your tabular model. Here are some links about how to create and manage hierarchies in a tabular model,
please refer to the links and check if the settings are correct.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh213003.aspx

If the issue persists, please provide us more information about you hierarchy creation steps, so that we can make further analysis.

How to copy the Data From Oracle Table To SAP Table

Hi Friends,
We need to copy the data from Oracle Database Table to SAP Table. The data should be updated simultaneously in both tables . Should I write a program that contains the native sql statement like EXEC SQL PERFORMING WRITE,....
I appreciate any suggestions regarding this.
Regards
CSM Reddy

Hi,
since you posted this question in the DB2 forum I assume that you are using a DB2 database for your SAP system.
To access a table from a legacy ORACLE database you may use the DBSL multiconnect feature. I.e. you open a secondary connecction in the SAP system to your ORALE database. You can then ready the data from the ORACLE database into an ABAP internal table and insert it afterwards into the DB2 table on the main connection.
Another way to access an ORACLE table from a DB2 database is to use the DB2 federated database feature. This requires a little bit more DB2 skill. With this feature you can make the ORACLE table visible within the DB2 database. To copy data you can then simply use a "INSERT ... SELECT" statement.

2. Z3MANBOXIDSERIAL table may contain multiple record for one box id[EXIDV]+item_no[ITEM_NO].
But what are the TABLE/JOIN Conditions i need to write while creating DB View for above 5 tables.
Can anybody solve above 2 issues!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi Deep,
While creation of DB view just make sure abt the key relation between the tables. Based on that u can join the tables...First fetch the data from header table then by using for all entries u can fetch the line items data.
Hope this helps you. Reply for queries, shall post the updates.

Help needed in Loading excel data to staging table from OAF Page

Hi All,
We have a requirement from the client on loading of a excel sheet data into staging table using OAF page.
We were able to load a CSV file into staging table via OAF. The approach we used is we created a item of style 'messageFileUpload', which would pick the CSV file from desktop and we wrote the logic on the controller to place the file into server and then sumit a concurrent program to load the data into the staging table.
But client wants data from the excel file to be loaded into staging table. Is there any way(approach) by which we can convert the excel file data into .CSV file using OAF?
Any help or pointers on this will be highly apperciated.
Thanks,
Chethana

How to return course data from different tables from a procedure

I have a procedure which must return information from two tables:
The sturcture of tables is as below:
Table 1:
id,
name,
property,
type
Table 2:
id1
id2 ,
property.
id1 of table2 refers to id attribute of table1. ie id is the foreign key for table2.
the tables are defined such that for corresponding to each id in table1 there would
be two or more rows in table2.
Now in the procedure given the id, i need to retrieve information from table1 and also all the rows in table2 which refers to id2.I want to return a cursor.How can i do this.
eg:
if table 1 has an entry with id 2
and table 2 has three entries with id1 referring to id(i.e id1=2)..I need to return the table1 entry with id=2 and three entires from table2 with id1=2.
If cursors are not appropriate, what other alternative methods can be used.
Any suggestions would be of great help.

thanks for the reply,
The result set would be returned to the client .....which would do further processing.The client does not even know that the data is organized in two tables..Therefore given an id, client would expect to have all the information...i.e the info from table 1 and info from table 2 where the relation ship between id and other ids are stored.
i.e say client has id=6.This id has property,name,etc stored in table1.
This id can further be related to any number other of ids.It can be related 2,5,100,or may be even 10000s of other ids.This mapping between the original id and other ids..are stored in table2.
So given the id by the client , i would want to return property of the ids itself along with all the ids that it is related to .
I want to achieve this.....

Replace the data in the table from other table

For the first time i have to create a orderbckup table but every month i have to replace the data in orderbckup from order table.

Or do i need to delete the old table and create it again or can i use update. If so can anyone plz let me know

Is there any way where i can copy the data from order and repalce the data in orderbckp - I cannot use insert as it adds the rows. Isn't that exactly what you want to do - add rows?
If I understand you, the problem isn't with adding new rows; the problem is how to remove the old rows.
Or do i need to delete the old table and create it again or can i use update. If so can anyone plz let me knowInstead of dropping the table and re-creating it, you can TRUNCATE the table and then use INSERT:
TRUNCATE TABLE orderbackup;
-- At this point, orderbackup has 0 rows
INSERT INTO orderbackup
SELECT *
FROM orders -- ORDER is a reserved word in Oracle, so it's not a good table name
;TRUNCATE TABLE is faster than DELETing all the rows, because it doesn't save redo information. (That means you can't ROLLBACK a TRUNCATE statement, but you can rollback a DROP TABLE statement, either.)
