A datasource can be used to update any num of datatargets...

Newbie Table Data Source Question

Hi,
I have a question about table data sources. I can set them up OK but I can't find the answers I'm looking for in the documentation or online.
With a table data source, the content column is the one that's indexed right? Are the attribute column sindexed as well? If the content column is null, will the attribute columns still be indexed?
Thanks in advance
Mark.

The attribute column is indexed along with the content column. However, the attribute column will not be indexed if the content column is null. That is, empty document is not indexed.
The workaround is to at least fill in a few space characters to the content column.

BI 7.0 Data Source Question

I have requirement in Funct spec from Tables EKKO , EKPO . The data sources 2lis_02_itm ,2lis_02_scl etc will have these tabels data . But in BI 7.0 there is a data source called 2LIS_06_Inv which provides data from all these data sources.i.e,
The new DataStore object of Invoice Verification (0LIV_DS01) is supplied with data by the new DataSource 2LIS_06_INV, whereas previously the relevant invoice verification data was only supplied by the three DataSources of Purchasing 2LIS_02_HDR (purchasing data (header level)), 2LIS_02_ITM (purchasing data (item level)), and 2LIS_02_SCL (purchasing data (delivery schedule line level)).
Iam already using this elis_06_inv in my other data model for another req. So my question here is instead of wasting time with creating this with 2lis_02_itm /hdr /scl Can I just use the new one that Iam already using for other req.
Thanks

Hi Harish,
You can use the same datasource to load data into different infoproviders. Just create new transformation rules and DTP assigning source as your datasource, for the new infoprovider. In the infopackage, schedule the data transfer to PSA and then execute the DTP to load the data, for the required infoprovider.
Hope this will help resolve your query.

Newbie XML data source questions

Post Author: tel
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm trying to use the XML data source via http and i'm running into a couple of issues.
First, we have separate environments for development, QA, and production. Each environment will have a seperate URL to retrieve the XML for the report. I would like to use the same report design to access each environment. Is there a way to update the URL in the data source (or replace the data source with one that has the correct URL) without having to re-add the fields to the report design?
The second issue is similar. I can't seem to get Crystal to recognize changes in the XML format (new fields for example) without having to delete and recreate the data source (which automatically removes all the associated fields from the report). Is there a way around this, or again, a way of re-creating the data source without it removing the existing fields in the report?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Where can I find help about setting the data source when connecting to a web service. Since the hostname is hardcoded in the report, it is necessary to update it in the code.

Standard Purchase Order Data Source question

Hi,
I have read the documentation discussing how to create data definitions. They all say make sure that the code is the short name of the concurrent request. However I noticed when I look at the Standard Purchase Order Data Source's code it has is PO_STANDARD_PO which seems to match the XML Schema PO_STANDARD_PO.xsd how is the concurrent request initiated at runtime?
Thanks,
Mark

If you go to the XML administrator screen and lookup the definition of the XML page and what program it is associated to as a start. From memory, i believe that the Definition of the Print PO concurrent job is where the output is required in order for the PO to be printed in the XML format.

Data-source question

Hi,
I have defined a datasource in data-sources.xml file. If I do not specify the following parameters:
max-connections
min-connections
then what are the default values the OC4J container takes?
Secondly, on what basis are these values defined. I mean to say, what are the factors to be considered in specifying these values.
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi:
If the date format begins with yyyymmdd, then,
Date Lng should be "CHAR - 8"
Use Date Lng in Transfer Structure.
In this case, it will take the first 8 and ignore the rest.
Then, in Transfer/Update rules you can map both the dates.
This only works if the date starts with yyyymmdd.
ALso assuming you don't need hhmmss.
If not, you have to write ABAP.

Oracle Data Source Question

Can anyone tell me if the communication between a ColdFusion oracle data source and the Oracle database itself is encrypted or clear text by default? I'm assuming it is clear text unless other features, such as Oracle Advanced Security, have been implemented.
If it is data transmission is clear text, are the data source user name and password passed in clear text as well?

I dunno about the authentication info, but I'd say the rest of it would be clear text.
It might pay to have a look at the JDBC spec, or the docs for the driver you're using. That'll have the relevant info.

GRC 10/10.1 User Data Source question

Hi folks, I've been unable to find any document that addresses this so I thought I'd ask.
I've configured GRC 10.1 so that the GRC system is looking at the ECC system and all the scenarios are configured and things are working well. We have a separate LDAP issue, and until that's resolved, the user data sources have been set to the ECC system.
Specifically for Firefighter, we want to create Firefighters in the GRC system and assign them IDs that are configured in the ECC system so that they can get in for Firefighter related access and get their work done. Many of these people are not in the ECC system.
I realized that I have not set up the GRC system as a connector within the GRC connectors configuration. I also did not find any reference to this in any of the documentation that's available out there.
So I wanted to know how do you get the GRC system to become available as a user data source so that in the event a user is not available in the ECC system, and as in our case, LDAP isn't working, the user will still pull up because they exist in the GRC system?
Can I use a connection type of LOCAL in the "Change View "Connection type definition": Overview" Screen?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
If your requirement is to use GRC as a data source, configure it as a SAP connector as you do for other SAP systems (the underlying system of GRC is Netweaver so its SAP as well).
Once the connector is configured, you can use that in your "data sources configuration - user search data source". List all your connectors and the sequence in which the user ID has to be searched for.
For your case.,
1. LDAP connector
2. ECC connector
3. GRC connector
Thanks.

XML Data Source Question

Is it possible to use XML with data management? I want to be able to add and delete rows in a data grid which is populated by data from an xml file. Is this possible?

So lastnight the answer I gave was bugging me, then I
realized that there is indeed a way to force the XMLDataSet to use
an XML string or existing XML DOM document. Below is the code that
shows how to do it with the source today.

HAL Data Source Question

Hi Ryan,
I did not got any response ..unfortunately unable to find any solution yet.....
Oracle replied that we should move to ODI , they wont support anymore HAL.
Did you tried to install HAL 9 on 2008 ??... Can you let me know if you see any solution or your test results.
I let you know if I see any solution...
Thanks for your time....

I had a client two years ago that wanted to use HAL on a 64 bit Windows 2008 box -- for whatever reason, we (and even real installers) could not get it it work. The compromise was to stick it on a 32-bit Win 2008 box. I personally wanted to take it out back and swing a shovel at the back of its head but I am somewhat passionate about my dislike of that product.
They did eventually dump the entire thing and replace it with ODI.

Question - Best practice data source for Vs2008 and Crystal Reports 2008

I have posted a question here
CR2008 using data from .NET data provider (ADO.NET DATASET from a .DLL)
but think that perhaps I need general community advise on best practice with data sources.
In Crystal reports I can choose the data source location from any number of connection types, eg ado.net(xml), com, oledb, odbc.
Now in regard to the post, the reports have all been created in Crxi 6.3, upgraded to Crystal XI and now Im using the latest and greatest. I wrote the Crystal Reports 6.3/ XI reports back in the day to do the following: The Reports use a function from COM Object which returns an ADO recordset which is then consumed fine.
So I don't want to rewrite all these reports, of which there are many.
I would like to know if any developers are actually using .NET Class libraries to return ADO.NET datasets via the method call or if you are connecting directly to XML data via whatever source ( disk, web service, http request etc).
I have not been able to eliminate the problem listed in the post mentioned above, which is that the Crystal Report is calling the .NET class library method twice before displaying the data. I have confirmed this by debugging the class lib.
So any guidance or tips is appreciated.
Thanks

This is already being discuss in one of your other threads. Let's close this one out and concentrate on the one I've already replied to.

I have a question about General Data Selection in Report Painter

Please help me out. Thi is the question....here it goes.
In a Report in ReportPainter, I have in the General Data Selection the following selected characteristics. They are:
Ledger = 0
Record Type = 0
Version = 1
Fiscal Year = Z-ANOACT
Period = (1CPERIV, 1CPERIB)
So that we have the next screen in the Reports execution.
Fiscal Year : 2006
From Period : 1
To Period : 12
Note:
*Z-ANOACT = Variable so that with a user-exit calculates the actual year. Right now is 2006.
*1CPERIV = This From-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name. Its default value is 1.
*1CPERIB = This To-Period Variable is referenced to CCSS Table and PERBL Field Name.
Its default value is 12. Rigth now, we are in the fiscal month 5 (November).
Id like to filtrate information from January,2006,Period:07 to November,2007,Period:05.
I mean I work with the fiscal calendar because the information to get from the table is saved due to this calendar.
The Fiscal Calendar is from July to June:
Month          Period     Year
January          07     2006
February     08     2006
March          09     2006
April          10     2006
May          11     2006
June          12     2006
July          01     2007
Augost          02     2007
September     03     2007
October          04     2007
November     05     2007
December      06     2007
Right now, we are in November , 2006 (month=11) but according to the fiscal calendar we are in November, 2007 (month=5).
How I can accommodate my variables or what I am doing wrong so that I can select information from periods 7 to 12, 2006 ( January to June, 2006) and information from periods 1 to 5, 2007 (July to November, 2007) having the screen cited above so that report painter adds the 2 ranges.
I cannot do it with the criteria selection cited above because I only have a year and a range of periods and my end-user doesnt want to run my report twice:
One run with periods 7 to 12, 2006 and
Another run with periods 1 to 5, 2007 and then to add the 2 reports in excel to form a report.
Hed like something in my screen like this
Fiscal Year = 2006
From period = 7
To Period = 12
Fiscal Year = 2007
From period = 1
To Period = 5
And then report painter will add the 2 ranges.

Question on Dynamic Query Data Source and Form Folders in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi there -
I have one interesting requirement in Oracle Forms.
This is what I wanted to do.
1. Have a LOV and Go button on Form.
2. From LOV, I will select a pre-defined custom table and click Go.
3. Based on the selected custom table, I have to populate the Block (Tabular Format).
4. User should be able to do update, delete, insert on this block.
5. User should be able to use the Oracle Form folders functionality (select only necessary column and save views etc. Std folder functionality).
6. If user selects a different custom table name in the LOV on top, I need to refresh the data from the block based on this new table. Remaining functionality should be as it is (steps 3 to 5).
You can see here, I am going to have dynamic query data source (Table Name as well as column mapping) on the block. I do not know before hand how many columns the user selected table has!
This is what I have planned for this so far but I have some major questions before I can move on with this design:
1. I am going to create a table structure with fixed number of column in form (40 cols assuming that the custom table will not have more that 40 cols). (Kind of limitation but it's okay as of now).
2. Dynamically populate the block based on the table name selected by the user from LOV. Dynamically change the table column names based on the table selected etc.
3. Perform insert, update, delete using PL/SQL package.
So far it looks okay.
Now my real question is,
Can user still be able to user "Folders" functionality here? I have never done this kind of development before and I doubt the dynamic column naming, dynamic column data source will really work for "folders"!
Also, I am not really sure whether user will be able to save these "folder" queries?
Okay so form experts, can you ppl suggest me if this is really going to work? Are there any better ways to do this?
Initially I tried to do this in OA Framework but I got stuck at because as per OAF developer guide "I cannot user OAF personalization for dynamic items, regions etc".
For more info on that thread see this link...
Re: setUserCustomizable issue!

ABDUL: I understand the ABAP Code but the information is saved in the table according to the fiscal calendar.
Fiscal Calendar Number of the MonthYear
January             7                    2006
February            8                    2006
March               9                    2006
April               10                    2006
May                 11                    2006
June                12                    2006
July                1                    2007
Augost              2                    2007
September           3                    2007
October             4                    2007
November            5                    2007
December            6                    2007
Normally, We are in November 2006 (month=11, year 2006).
However, fiscally; We are November 2007 (month=5, year=2007).
Important Notes:
     The information is saved according to the fiscal calendar in the table.
     My end-user wants to filtrate the information from January to November . I mean
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
I understand you told me about the ABAP code, for example my characteristics in the general data selection are:
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period: 7
To       Period: 5   (I would have an error here because From-Period Variable is greater than To-Period Variable)
According the ABAP code you told me, this would be:
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period: 1
To       Period: 11
If I run the report with these last parameters you told me, report painter only would add information from year 2006 and fiscal months 1 to 11 (July to May except June). We dont want this, that we want is :
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
How can I do this?? My email is [email protected] or [email protected]
Right now, the end-user runs the report twice and adds the information in excel. One run for :
Actual Year : 2006
From   Period:      7
To       Period:     12
And other run with:
Actual Year   : 2007
From    Period:      1
To        Period:       5
But the question is how you can do it with only a run and in this way:
Actual Year : 2006               Actual Year   : 2007
From   Period:      7     AND           From    Period:      1
To       Period:     12               To        Period:       5
Thanks if someone can help me!!
