Extracting Data Out of BW
Hi,
I'm researching what other companies are doing with regards to extracting data out of your BW data warehouse.
Do you allow data to be extracted out of BW?
If so, do you push data out to them? Or do the external systems pull the data out?
There's no right answer here. I'm just trying to get a feel for best practices as to whether external clients should pull data out or have it pushed to them.
By PUSH, I mean that BW initates the data extraction. And by PULL, I mean that external systems initiate the data extraction.
THANKS!
Hi,
Does anybody know that is it possible created an infospoke on a multicube/multiprovider?
When creating a infospoke you can only choose between
Datasource types: Basicube, Infobject (x2) & ODS, if you choose Basicube option and then do the f4 dropdown the drop down does not contain a list of Multiprovisers.
However if you type the name of the multiprovider straight into the field the system will accept it, and the spoke will activate.
I have tried to execute the spoke and it does generate a few data packets before erroring. I am unclear if the error is because the spoke is based on a Multiprovider or a different issue. Error message provided below:
System error: RSDRC / FORM AUTHORITY_CHECK RSDRC / FORM AUTHORITY_CHECK R
System error: RSDRC / FUNC RSDRC_BASIC_CUBE_DATA_GET RSDRC / FUNC RSDRC_B
System error: RSDRC / FORM DATA_GET RSDRC / FORM DATA_GET RSDRC / FORM DA
Thanks

Fastest way to extract data out of xml with following constraints.
10.2 on linux
xml files are being dropped off into a queue. in the queue the documents must be stored as clobs so that control can be given back to the client as soon as possible.
once in the queue we would like to extract all the data from the xml and place it in relational staging tables. the data is then moved from these tables into production.
the only thing that can change is what happens between the queue and the staging tables. currently i am just using extract statements to pull the data out of the clob.
the files are around 20mb and currently take over 20 minutes to process which is way too long.
i looked at DBMS_XMLSTORE but we cannot alter the xml format.
i looked at Oracle text but if i understand it correctly, we would have to rebuild the entire index after every new queue item.
i have very little experience with xml so i want to make sure i know all my options.
from what i can tell my only option is to take the clob and let xml db parse it into o-r tables. ...but even that seems like a horrible waste.
is there anything else i can do? any pointers?
thanks for any help!
by the way...this forum has been of great help. my only problem is that i don't seem to ask the right questions at the right time.Chris
Most people seem to find that allow XML DB to persist the XML using the object based storage and nested tables and then using insert as select operations is the most effective way to do what you want. There are a number of threads on how to best do this..
The question to ask is do you really need the relational staging tables. If you read through the forum you'll see that once the XML has been persisted as objects, and the XML objects have been stored using a nested table storage models you can easily create relational views to represent the staging tables.
This process will work very well if there are no updates to the staging tables. Effectively you will process the XML once, when you insert into the Schema based tables, and then use the relational views as the source for the migration from staging to production.
If you haven't already done so, reading the following posts will help you with this

http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=347820&tstart=0

XML Query Performance on Nested Tables
Basically you'll need an XML Schema that describes your XML and you'll need to set up nested table storage for each of the collections in your XML Schema in order to the required performance when using the views.
The easiest way will be to use the default table that is creted when registering the XML Schema and the annotation xdb:storeVarrayAsTable="true" and then ensure that you sequence each collection correctly. -
SAP ECC 6.0 - Using BAPIs for C# to extract data out
I have had a client recommend a strategy of extracting data usin C# (Visual Studio 2005) to extract data from SAP ECC using BAPIs.
We do have an existing methodology in place using flat files to extract data to non SAP systems
We have purchase XI which we intend to implement next year.
I basically wanted to keep things tidy and continue with the flat file interface strategy just to keep things simple going forward to XI.
THen there is also the security piece, the developer has had to slowly build a profile / roles that alows him to come in thru visual studio to access these BAPIs
I am looking for anyone who has had experience with this and what your experiences are. As well, what are the SAP best practicies concerning this strategy
Thank YOU ALL who will replyI think that SAP's strategy toward exposing BAPI is leaning toward leveraging their AS-JAVA stack. With the AS-JAVA Enterprise Services and standard delivered web content, SAP is already exposing many existing BAPI/Business Functionality outside of the ABAP world. However, that's not saying that traditional flat files have no place in the future. Matter of fact, I don't see flat/delimited files going away any time soon.
It all really comes down to what you are doing, you may even end up with a landscape that's a mix of files/RFCs. Here inhouse, we leverage file based transfers for large data sets such as SAP BI OHS extracts, and daily R/3 FI extracts. Why file? because it's simple, easy to control, and you can see the data being transferred. A file can be "hold in my hands" if you will, at best there's just a few characters in-flight.
As for RFCs, any type of RFCs in fact (Anything from sap .net connector to AS-JAVA ESOA Based ES), are basically designed for transactional data. Here, you are looking at things that are high in transactional count but small in individual size. Your client's call using C#, it all really depends on how you are doing it. MOST IMPORTANTLY: Make sure you are using a proven, standarized, and SAP supported way, PERIOD. NEVER EVER go into production with a "hack".
For the high-transactional-count-small-individual transactions, we leverage BizTalk Server (BTS) here. I'll be frank, we are not using BTS because we wrote it. We are using BTS because it just works better for us, in our environment. BTS now support SAP 2.0 connector (registered program ID) and SAP 3.0 (WCF based, direct SAP RFC call, supported by Microsoft AND SAP). We are leveraging these adapters and BTS (as distribution and transformation) in our environment more and more.
So, long story short: Determine the transaction type, multiple solutions is ok, make sure the solution is supported! -
What's the easiest way to extract data out of a multi page document in adobe acrobat 8 pro.?
We have landers that are now sending us lists with multiple social security numbers in a single pdf with multiple pages, before they used to break it up into which departments they go to, so I installed acrobat 8 pro on the users machines, now we need to get certain lines of data within that document and make a single document for different departments out of that 1 document, i tried the crop tool and made a document from cropped image but it pastes it in the corner extremely small for some reason, and I dont see how you can extract that data and bring it into either word or make it a seperate pdf document, because it dosent keep any of the formatting????
Please helpYou might just try to do a save as DOC. The formatting may be lost, depending on how the PDF was made.

Extract data from ECC to Oracle using Data Services 4.0
How to extract data from ecc6.0 Business content extractors to oracle using sap bo data services 4.0
Are you trying to use the SAP BW Business Content to extract data out of ECC and load into Oracle tables with Data Services? If that's the case, then you cannot do that. The SAP BW Business Content was developed to only be used in conjunction with SAP BW. When using Data Services to access the extractors in ECC, it has to have an SAP BW InfoPackage associated with it to execute. In this architecture, Data Services is only a pass through from ECC to BW and allows the ability to do some transformations of data prior to loading into the EDW layer (staging tables basically) on SAP BW.
To connect ECC to Oracle, you're going to have to have all of the SAP BusinessObjects supplied Function Modules loaded onto ECC, along with a non-dialog logon account that has the ability to pass dynamic ABAP programs, generate the programs and schedule them. Depending on how you want to process the output, you may also have to have the ability to write to files on the ECC application servers and have an FTP account created on the application servers that can GET flat files and potentially DELETE them (you're going to need to delete periodically, otherwise your jobs will crash when the file space allocation has been consumed). -

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
JoaquinI´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 Excel To Illustrator javascript or vbscript
Hi all-
I was wondering if there was a way to extract data from Excel to be used in Illustrator. I know there is an option of variables and xml, and I don't want that. I've seen and tried out how to read illustrator and write to excel, and I get that. What I would like to do is pretty much the opposite:
1.Pre-fill in an Excel file(.xls,.csv, doesn't matter) with data such as a filename in column 1 and (Replacement Text) in column 2 and close manually.
2. Run script(VBSCRIPT,Javascript, doesn't matter)
3.For each column in Excel file where cell in first column is not empty, open Illustrator Template with placeholder of "DWG" textframe and replace the frame titled "DWG" with Replacement text from Excel in Column2.
4, Save each to a PDF file and name file with text from Excel Column1(Filename)
In a nutshell, there will be a single illustrator template with a premade textFrame with a name of "DWG". Excel will contain two columns, one for the filename to be named and one for the relative text to replace with the placeholder in AI. I hoped I explained this well enough without causing too much confusion. Thanks in advance.
Filename
Replacement Text
test1.pdf
DWG01
test2.pdf
DWG02
test3.pdf
DWG03
test4.pdf
DWG04As text… \n is new line character and \r is return character. I can't remember which excel uses but they both equate to a line/paragraph… I very quickly threw together an example for you…
#target Illustrator
textToPDF();
function textToPDF() {
if ( app.documents.length == 0 ) { return; }
var doc, csvFile, i, fileArray, opts;
csvFile = File( '~/Desktop/ScriptTest/Test.csv' );
if ( !csvFile.exists ) { return; }
fileArray = readInCSV( csvFile );
doc = app.activeDocument;
opts = new PDFSaveOptions();
opts.pDFPreset = '[Press Quality]';
// Here we loop the main array
for ( i = 0; i < fileArray.length; i++ ) {
// Here we get the second item of sub array i
doc.textFrames.getByName( 'DWG' ).contents = fileArray[i].[1];
// Here we get the first item of sub array i
doc.saveAs( File( fileArray[i].[0] ), opts );
function readInCSV( fileObj ) {
var fileArray, thisLine, csvArray;
fileArray =[];
fileObj.open( 'r' );
while( !fileObj.eof ) {
thisLine = fileObj.readln();
csvArray = thisLine.split( ',' );
fileArray.push( csvArray );
fileObj.close();
return fileArray;
I haven't tested it but it should be close…? -
How to extract data from ORCL GL in "full" and not "delta " with FDM ERPI?
Hi
I am using FDM ERPI 11.1.2.1 to extrct data from Oracle eBS 11.
I can see that FDM ERPI extracts data in "delta mode" using the GL_TRACK_BALANCES_DELTA (FDM adds a row in this table after the 1st load of the period").
Is it possible to force the "full mode" in order to reload all the data from Oracle GL for each FDM data load?
Because I don't know why, but I have each month rows which are not imported into FDM.
thanks in advance for your help
FannyHi
I had see that I have to install the FDM 11.1.2.1.502 patch in order to see this option in my ERPI adapter options.
I have passed this patch.
So I have the ERPI-FIN-C1 adaptor.
I can see a new option (Time Out Value) but no "Load Data" or "Execution mode" option :-(
Any idea of where the problem come from?

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