Getting Data from SAP BW for Dashboard

Hello,
we want to create dashboards that are accessing data from a SAP BW 7.0 system without an EhP.
I know that with BW 7.0 EhP1 we would be able to access queries directly. But for now we have the BOE 4 server and want to access the data over this software. Which possiblities exist to get the data from BW over the BOE 4 server?
Thanks in advance,
André

Without the minimum requirements, you will not be able to use the BICS web service to retrieve data from BW directly. In this case, you are limited to creating a Universe from the BEx query and then creating a Live Office or QaaWS connection from that Universe which you can then import to Xcelsius. Unfortunately there are many layers to this along with some limitations due to processing the query via the MDX engine instead of OLAP.
BEx>Universe>Live Office/QaaWS>Xcelsius

Getting Data from SAP ECC & BI to Crystal Reports and then Broadcasting.

Hi,
I need to get the data from SAP ECC & BI to Crystal reports and then after formating data in Crystal reports, my requierment is to send via email (Broadcasting). Is there any option to Broadcast from Crystal reports?
I read Ingo Hilgefort blogs, but I need in detail steps such as to verify Integration Kit is installed or not and also how to create connections in between SAP ECC and Crystal. What are the Security setups(User IDs and Authorizations) involved?
What is best option for email/broadcasting for Crystal Reports?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest you then start with the installation and user guide fr the SAP Integration Kit.

Data security (Data from SAP BW) for AD users

Hi All,
I have a scenario.
BO env : Business Objects 3.1 Sp3
Sap Integration kit Sp3
My target is to implement AD SSO & also provide data security for data from SAP BW. Currently there are no roles & authorization defined in the sap System. My plan was
Step 1:- Implement AD SSO in Business Objects
Step 2: Map the AD users in SAP system
Step 3:- Crate roles in SAP System
Step 4:- Assign the users roles
Steps 5:- (Not sure) :- Map the users (Now in SAP) to BO & then aliases them with the users from AD.
Pleas let me know if this would be correct approach... if not please suggest.... I am kind of new to SAP BO integration with experience in BO admin

Step 1: Setup Windows AD SSO on your BOBJ server
Step 2: Import Windows AD groups in BO
Step 2- Setup Server-side SNC between BO and your SAP system
Step 3:- Create roles in SAP System and import them in BO
Step 4:- Assign SAP users the created roles
Step 5: - In the CMC create SAP aliases for your Windows AD accounts
Step 6: - Setup your reports and/or universe connections to use SSO.
For more information on server side SNC check the installation guide of the integration Kit.

Webservice:get data from SAP ECC

hi,
i want webservice.that webservice will fetch the data from sap ecc system.
i need steps for creating webservice.i have some functionality .what can i expose as webservice.
thanks
raj

Hi Raj,
If we trying to fetch data from SAP ECC system then expsoing as a web service from NWDS (Netweaver Developer studio ) would the best option.First we need to create a Portal Service that invokes the functionalities of the SAP application component( Business solution which uses ECC) using the SAP Java Connector. Then you can create a Web Service from the Portal Service.
If your SAP application component runs on SAP Web Application Server (WebAS) 6.20 or later, then you can directly enable Web Services on the application component by using the application server's native Web Service capabilities.
1. To turn on the WebAS 6.20 SOAP Processor, you need to:
Configure the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) of the WebAS to start the Internet Communication Manager (ICM) and activate the HTTP protocol support
Use transaction SICF to activate the SOAP Runtime Handler: default_host -> sap -> bc -> soap -> rfc.
Once the SOAP Processor is turned on, the RFM-implemented Web Services can be invoked at http://<host_name>:<port_number>/sap/bc/soap/rfc
6.20 also provides a Web Service Browser, which is a BSP web application that can be used to browse all RFM-implemented Web Services in the system, and generate WSDLs for these Web Services.
2. In a WebAS 6.40-based SAP application component, such as SAP Enterprise Core Component (ECC) 5.0, or a WebAS 7.0-based application component, such as ECC 6.0, by default, few Web Services are pre-delivered by SAP. But it is pretty easy to create Web Services in a WebAS 6.40-based system.
Inside-Out Approach: if within the SAP application component there already exist one or several RFMs or BAPIs that suit your needs, you can create Web Services based on them without any additional programming. The basic steps include:
Using the Service Definition Wizard, which can be started from transaction SE80, SE37, or BAPI, to create a (Web) service definition from an RFM, a function group, or a BAPI.
When creating the service, you have the option to rename or hide operations (methods) and parameters, define default values for parameters, and changing parameter types.
After the service definition is created, you need to use transaction WSCONFIG to release the service definition for the SOAP runtime.
Afterwards, by using transaction WSADMIN, you can for any released Web Service, call the Web service homepage which provides utilities for using and testing the Web Service, generate WDSL, configure the logging and tracing settings, and publish the Web Service as a Business Service in an UDDI registry.
Hope these steps are helful to you.

Gordons way is the easiest - just query the OJDT table for journal entry headers and JDT1 for journal entry lines if needed.
But if you want to work with the business objects:
'Journal entry
   Dim oJE As SAPbobsCOM.JournalEntries
   Set oJE = company1.GetBusinessObject(oJournalEntries)
   oJE.GetByKey(1234)
   Dim postingDate as String
   postingDate = oJE.DueDate
'etc etc

Fetching complete PM data from SAP instance for reupload

Hi,
Is there any way out to fetch out the complete SAP PM master/ transaction data from existing SAP instance as ready reference or almost exact for uploading into another instance?
Please suggest some effecient way with reduced effort
Thanks
-Lucky

Lucky
I'm assuming you don't want a full production copy..
And there is not a standard tool to extract all PM data..
But you should be able to use standard tools like the list-edit reports, LSMW, IBIP, etc.

How to get data from the user for an Insert Trigger ?

Hi all and thanks in advance, I need to get some values from the user for a child table when a row inserted into the parent table, is that possible to use ampersand inside an "Insert Trigger" to let the user for inserting some values ?
Edited by: user9942078 on 17-Dec-2008 16:35

In a different words,
When a virus attacked your body your blood cells instantly goes into operation. Just like that -> your trigger activated as a result of your DB operation on objects. So, here also you have no option to manually intervene anything.
Hmm... Looks like some science fiction movies ultimately pays some price... ;)
So, trigger basically fires implicitly as a result of any database operation on objects or even on user.
So, that has to be automatic. And, when you are using & it will ask for some input value - which cannot be done in case of triggers.
For details please refer the oracle docs.

Gettin data from SAP R/3 4.7 unicode sys to SAP ERP non-unicode sys via RFC

We are trying to get data from SAP R/3 4.7 unicode sys to SAP ERP non-unicode sys via RFC. We are reading field from the database via FM and this field got converted by SAP standard Method (CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES=>fill_CONTAINER_C) from structure. When reading this field from ERP sys and converted back to structure using SAP standard Method the value is un-accurate, and different(blank) giving values.
How, if the data originally was a char or numeric it works fine, but not for decimal.
best regards,
Abu-Qaht

I have a range fields with different type of ranges, am saving these to the database by converting them to a string via the same method. I got the same problem so I tried to convert the string to xstring using function SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING, before send it to the other system, but the function raised an exception: CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE

Clarification on details regarding getting data from APO into BW

Hi Friends,
I need some clarification in terms of getting data from APO into BW for reporting:
I observed that SAP has provided standard data flows for PPDS module, where as for the Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning SAP has just provided some standard InfoCubes ex: 0APO_C07, 0APO_C10, 0APO_C11, 0APO_C12.
Which makes me believe that for Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning we need to generate DataSources from the Planning books in DP & SNP and build our own custom data flows. In that case what is the use of above mentioned InfoCubes provided by SAP?
Also in my current project the client has built a custom DataSource on top of a Planning Book in DP and created custom data flow in BW for reporting and also created a Back up cube in APO.
My question on this is, what is the use of this Back up cube in APO, what is the need to maintain two same cubes in two different systems?
My next question is, I have installed complete data flow for 0APO_C02 (Orders Data) in BW and loaded data. In SAP documentation it says when we try to load data for a particular date range using this InfoSource (0APO_PPDS_ORDER_01), it directly loads data from the live cache.
Is there a way to know if the data is coming from Live Cache or from APO server, can we get data from live cache for 9A*** Datasources also, which we create on planning books in DP and SNP?
Any comments and Info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Sunitha, thanks for your inputs. So does that mean for Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning, SAP has not given any standard DataSources because it makes more sense to build DataSources from the planning books as each company has their own planning strategies based on how they do there business. Right?
And for these modules there is no other way rather than generating DataSources from Planning Books and build the Data Flows based on it. Right?
Also these generated DataSources i.e. 9A**** pull data from live cache itself right or is there any setting that we need to enable for it to get data from live cache?
Thanks again for your valuable inputs hope to get answers to above questions as well.

How to get data from subsites list of SharePoint 2010 in ssrs

Hi,
Can someone help me on this issue.
I want to create a report using ssrs, I have some of the data in SQL and some of the data in sharepoint list.
First I need to go to SQL and get the data from the table which contains URL for the subsite in sharepoint.
after that I need to go to all the subsites and go to perticulat list in the subsites and get data from that list.
for example, their is a top level site "abc"
it contains sub site "123", "456","567", etc.. All this sub sites contain a list by name "Sample List", Now I need to go to that sub site list(Sample List) and get list-item column say "created By" which
is created on particular date.
in my report, I need to print the sub site "url/Title" which comes from SQL database and list-item column "Created By" of that sub site list "Sample List".
I tried using subreport inside a report by using "Microsoft SharePoint List" as a datasource, but when it comes to real time we don't know how many subsites will be created, so we can't create a datasource for each subsite site.
I guess we need to be using XML as a datasource, but how can we go to particular subsite in query while using XML, since all subsites have list with the same name ?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Kishore

Hi Kishore,
SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) supports expression-based connection strings. This will help us to achieve the goal you mentioned in this case:
Create a new report
Create a Data Source in the report with the connection string like this:
http://server/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (We use static connection string instead of expression-based connection string now, as it is not supported to get fields based on expression-based connection string in design time. We will change it to be expression-based
connection string later)
Create the data set(as you have done using XML query language). Please use list name instead of GUID in the listName parameter.
Design the report(e.g. Add controls to the report)
Now, let's change the connection string to be expression-based. First, please add a parameter to the report, move this parameter to top. This parameter is used to store the sub site name.
Open the Data Source editor, set the connection string to be: ="http://server/" & Parameters!parameterCreatedInStep5.value & "_vti_bin/lists.asmx"
In the main report, pass the sub site name to the report we created above via the parameter created in step5
That is all.
Anyway, this is actually a SQL Server Reporting Service(SSRS) question. You can get better support on this question from:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqlreportingservices/threads
For more information about Expression-Based connection string, please see:

If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.

Getting data from table BSEG taking too long ... any solutions.

Hello people I am currently trying to get data from table BSEG for one particular G/L Account Number With restrictions using For All Entries.
The problem is that even with such tight restrictions its causing my report program to run way too slow. I put an option where you dont have to access table bseg. And it runs just fine. (all of this is done during PRD Server).
My question is
1.) How come BSEG seems to make the report slow, even though I put some tight restrictions. <b>Im using For All Entries where Zuonr eq i_tab-zuonr</b>it seems to work fine in DEV and <b>hkont EQ '0020103101'</b>(Customer Deposits).
2.) Is there a way for me to do the same thing as what I mentioned in #1 but only much faster.
Thanks guys and take care

Hi
It should be better you don't read BSEG table if you haven't the keys BUKRS and BELNR, because the reading could take many times if there are many hits.
If you want to find out the records of G/L Account it's better read the index table BSIS (for open items) and BSAS (for cleared items), here the field HKONT is a key (and ZUONR too). So you can improve the performance:
DATA: T_ITEMS LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF BSIS.
SELECT * FROM BSAS INTO TABLE T_ITEMS
FOR ALL ENTRIES I_ITAB WHERE BUKRS = <BUKRS>
                           AND HKONT = '0020103101'
                           AND ZUONR = I_ITAB-ZUONR.
SELECT * FROM BSIS APPENDING TABLE T_ITEMS
FOR ALL ENTRIES I_ITAB WHERE BUKRS = <BUKRS>
                           AND HKONT = '0020103101'
                           AND ZUONR = I_ITAB-ZUONR.
Remember every kind of item has an own index tables:
- BSIS/BSAS for G/L Account
- BSIK/BSAK for Vendor
- BSID/BSAD for Customer
These table have the same informations you can find out from BSEG and BKPF.

How to get data from Oracle using Native SQL in SAP.. Problem with date

Hi Masters.
I'm trying to get data from an Oracle DB. I was able to connect to Oracle using tcode DBCO. The connetion works fine
I wrote this code and it works fine without the statement of where date > '01-09-2010'
But i need that statement on the select. I read a lot about this issue, but no answer.
My code is (this code is in SAP ECC 6.0)

How can i get the data from that date?? If i delete the where statemet, the program works well, it takes 30 mins and show all the data, I just need the data from that date.
Any help

Please refer the example in this link which deals with Oracle date format.
You can finnd a command DECODE which is used for date formats. If you have a look at whole theory then you will get an idea.
