Can not extract data into BW from SQL SERVER

Dear All,
I meet a problem to extract data from database(MS SQL Server 2000(sp3)) into BW now and can not extract data into BW ODS, even PSA, In the monitor, display yellow light(0 from 0 record), detail message just display message "data request arranged" "confirmed with: confirmation" in requests(message) step; "missing message: request received" in extract (message) step; "no data" in processing(data packet) step and so on. but in fact, there are two records in my database test table and DB connection is OK. Even I can extract data from another test oracle database into BW ODS successfully.
Our BW system has two BW applicaton server and use oracle database. the one application server locates on IBM AIX host. the another one locates on one NT server. the application server on NT server is used for data extration from MS SQL SERVER database into BW oracle database. and MS SQL SERVER and NT platform application server locate on same one host. DBSL was installed on the NT application server already. and DB connector also was created successfully for MS SQL SERVER and datasource also was generated. DBSL type is Kernel640-WIN-IA32bit-unicode. my BW system is ECC5.0/UNICODE/ORACLE. all table/view/field name of MS SQL server is upcase and have not any specific character. for example: ZDEMO etc.
wait your help.
Thanks in advance.

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).

Extracting data from a SQL Server to BW

Hi Experts,
    Can somebody let me know how to extract data from a NON SAP
    SQL Server I mean
    1. Creating a Source System
    2. Connecting to the SQL server
    3. Creating datasources and extraction
    Kindly help me its urgent
    thank you
    arshad.

Hi Ingo,
What I suggest is instead of extracting it to a file, can you use the function module which replicates this data to the mobile clients and use this function module to call the select statement. If a mobile client is able to access this info, then it must be doing a RFC call to some system whose logical system would have been in SAP as well. This is an assumption.
May be if you could call the same function to derive the required data instead of extracting it to a file and then uploading it.

Extract data from Flat file CSV to SQL Server 2008 using SSIS 2008 (Data gets corrupted when extraction)

Hi,
I am trying to extract data from multiple CSV files to SQL into a single table. The data type of all the columns in SQL table is nvarchar(MAX). I am able to extract the data from the flat files but some of the data(on extraction) is
corrupt including question marks(?) and other invalid special characters. Also I tried selecting the UTF-8, 65001(Unicode) format but the problem still persists. Also I tried using data converter but no use.
I checked with the data in the flat file but there is no data with question mark(?) or any other special characters.
The separator in the flat file is Comma(,)
Please help.
Thanks in advace.

The source system and application determines the code page and encoding. Is it Windows, Unix, Mainframe or some other type?
Unicode files sometimes begin with a byte order mark (2 bytes) to indicate little or big endian. If you open the file in notepad and then select save as, the encoding in the dialog will show the encoding notepad detected based on the BOM. If
that is ANSI instead of Unicode or UTF-8, you will need to know the code page the source system used when the file was created.

Extract data from a BW 7.0 cube to a SQL DB using Data Services XI

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to extract data from a BW 7.0 cube to a SQL DB using Data Services XI, the issue is that we can not read text without making "joins" between SID in the fact table and the master data tables. Do you know if it is posible to read text in a natural way?
Best Regards

Thanks Wondewossen,
As you know, the DataStores (Data Services) provide access to:
1.-Tables
2.-Functions
3.-IDOCs
4.-Open Hub Tables
We are trying to extract data using the first one (Tables), not using Open Hub.

Using SQL Server 2012 SSIS to Extract Data From SAP

Hi
What is the current best practice for using SQL Server 2012 SSIS to extract data from SAP R3? Please note we are looking for a solution that does not use SAP BW or SAP OHS.
Ideally we would like to build our ETL SSIS process to make a .NET call to an SAP RFC procedure and avoid using web services.
With SS2012 can we use any of these without using SAP BW:
- SAP .NET Connector
- MS ADO .NET
- BizTalk .NET 3.0 Adapter
Thanks and take care,
Shayne

Hi Shayne,
You can use the .NET Framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite along with SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) to import data from an SAP system into SQL Server database tables, flat files, or other compatible destination types. You can create an SSIS
package that can be executed to import data from an SAP system.
You must use the SQL Server Import and Export wizard to import data into the SQL Server database. You must provide a select query to specify data to be imported. The query must confirm to the semantics supported by the Data Provider for SAP. You can start the
SQL Server Import Export Wizard either from the SQL Server Management Studio or from an Integration Service project in Visual Studio. Detail steps please see:
Importing SAP Data Using SQL Server Management Studio:

Extracting data from Express to SQL Server

is there a way to extract data from a Personal Express (v5)
database into MS SQL Server (2000) using a DTS package ? I
haven't found any references to an Express ODBC driver so I
doubt it's possible and I may have to use SNAPI from VB.
thanks.

Hi
i am looking after a set of schemas and reports. One report is based on data in an sql server that is periodically extracted from oracle.
How might this be done? I am struggling finding the object that does thisThere could be any number of ways. It could be SQL Server connecting to the oracle database and querying the data directly. It could be a script on the SQL Server server that connects to Oracle and extracts the data. It could be a script on the Oracle server that extracts the data and then pushes it across to the SQL Server server. It could be a completely different script sitting on an unrelated server connecting to both databases. It could be a scheduled job running on the Oracle database that extracts the data and moves it across..... and so the list goes on.
It's unlikely we'll be able to tell you anything as you are the one with access to your servers.

Extracting data from ms sql data base

Hi Experts,
we have a requirement of extracting data from MS SQL data base,could any one pls help me with the approach to extract data
from ms sql data base(actually we have to extract the data from PRIMAVERA i.e the back end data base is MS SQL data base and the application is built on java)so we have got two options one is using ud connect and the other one is using PI(XI).i came to know the two approach have based on differenct methods,pull and push mechanism.and also for PI,it can be extracted using
real time data acquisition property in dtp and for db connect it don't support real time data acqusition.
so pls guide me,which mechanism would be feasible to extract the data from PRIMAVERA to SAP BI.and can you suggest with methods is more efficient.
Thanks in advance.

Hi thanks for the reply,
initially we tried with db connect,but our Bi system(oracle) is mount on unix OS and the Primavera(MS Sql DB)is on windows OS.so we could not found the data base shared library once if the DB client is installed on the application server.so we are working around with the other possibilities,so can you suggest me which could be favarable in our case.
Thank You.

Could not extract data from MS-SQL to BW( IBM DM400)

Hello,
I have creat one DB connect to extract data from MS-SQL to BW system(DB: IBM DB400).
I can show the data using display table contents in RSA1-- > source system -- > select database table.
But I can not extract data using infopackage after I had generated DataSource.
The table/fields name have be made of upper case ,number and "_".
could you help me ?

Hi Xiaopeng,
Have you checked for any related OSS Notes on that topic? In times of trouble, OSS does help a lot.
There might be some fix or patch on that issue...
Its pretty weird that you can see the data under BW from MSSQL and you cannot extract it. I think the problem lies on one of these things:
1.) Posting of request log in BW.
2.) Configuration of the MSSQL Data Source in BW.
3.) SAP Drivers (DBConnect) for MSSQL improperly installed.
4.) Authorization issues of the RFC user on BW side.
Hope I have helped and if i did, please grant points...

what's your problem with this? You posted a lot of useful information like version infos and code (Hint: when you post code you can do this with the tags so it gets formated), but I cannot see what exactly is failing or behaving unexpected, so you might share that too ;)

Extract date from string in T-SQL

Hi,
I am having one field(AT_TEXT) in my database that has below kind of values. I want to extract date from this string but the issue is all rows has different format.
1)One Month Lttr sent on 3/12/2009 due to
2)One Month Letter sent on 1/15/2009 due to
3)One Month letter sent on7/15/2011.The amount due - This has no space between on and 7 and . after yr
4)One Month letter sent on 7/16/12 due to - This has 12 instead of 2012(2 positions after 2nd slash/)
Can anyone please help me to write query to extract date from this string?
Vicky

Hi Jingyang
Li,
I checked your query and it looks good but I have one issue. So when we reverse it, it looks like below and it is talking that $57.80 as a 1st numeric value and try to convert it into date and giving me error.
I realize from your query that you are trying to reverse the value and then try to find out 1st Numeric value from that string, but my whole string has another numeric value at the end, like
"One Month Letter on 1/15/2009 due to non-pmt of prems-amt to avoid DE is $57.80"
So when we reverse it, it looks like below and it is taking that $57.80 as a 1st numeric value and try to convert it into date and giving me error.
"08.75$ si ED diova ot eud tma - smerp fo tmp-non ot eud 9002/51/1 no retteL htnoM enO"
Also sometimes I have $ amount at the end and sometimes I don't have any $ amount at the end, like below,
"One Month letter sent on 10/15/2012 due to non-payment of premiums. The amount due to avoid dise"
Can you please modify your query which takes only date part not the $ amount and give me?
Thank you so much for your help

Generate Insert Statement Script to Extract Data from Table in Oracle 7i

Extracting data from Oracle to a flat file

I'm looking for options to extract data a table or view at a time to a text file. Short of writing the SQL to do it, are there any other ideas? I'm dealing with large volumes of data, and would like a bulk copy routine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB'sFlat file is adequate only from VARCHAR2, NUMBER, & DATA datatypes.
Other datatypes present a challenge within text file.
A more robust solution is to use export/import to move data between Oracle DBs.
