Getting MySQL Data into a Power BI Workbook Automatically -- Recommendations or Successes?

Looking to retrieve MYSQL on premise data automatically and scheduled. Straight forward enough manually using Power Query, the MYSQL connector, and loading to a data model. But it would be nice getting it done at night.
Is it best to get the data sent to SQL Azure first? Been reading conflicting success stories with scheduled refresh, Power query, and SQL Azure. Can create a DMG to MYSQL server but can not eliminate or migrate the MYSQL database.
Any suggestions on architecting a solution?

Hi Galroy,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have seen that link. What I'm not clear on is the best approach to setup a refresh to SQL Azure since that seems the supported data source. It appears that a data managed gateway is not needed if scheduling a refresh of
a data connection in the Data model that points to SQL Azure db. But does this mean the userid and password has to be included in the workbook. If so, if someone copies the workbook to another location (another company) will the update still work?

Loading MySQL data into ListComponent -help!

Hi Everyone,
Complete newbie to this forum, but I've heard that you guys are the best for help and advice so here I am!
So, I have a MySQL database and a Flash Document with a List Component. I need to import (parts) of records to populate my List component.
For a start, I'm not sure which language I should utilize - I was thinking PHP?
Anyway, I've trawled the net for help and I've found none, hence the post. Below is the code I have:
AS3:
var options:XML = new XML();
options.ignoreWhitespace = true;
var loader2:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("http://localhost/list_1.xml"));
loader2.addEventListener("complete",function(event) {
options = new XML(loader.data);
var product = options.brand;
for(var i in product ){;
home_holder.addItem({label:product [i].name});
PHP:
<?PHP
$link = mysql_connect("localhost:3306", "root", "");
mysql_select_db("test");
$query = 'SELECT * FROM stock LIMIT 1';
$results = mysql_query($query);
while($line = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
echo $line["Brand"];
echo $line["Style"];
echo $line["Store Name"];
echo $line["Image"];
mysql_close($link);
?>
(Please note: the php file returns the correct results if I run it in my browser)
I also had a go at an XML version:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$pass = "";
$database = "test";
$linkID = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Could not connect to host.");
mysql_select_db($database, $linkID) or die("Could not find database.");
$query = "SELECT * FROM stock ORDER BY stock_ID DESC";
$resultID = mysql_query($query, $linkID) or die("Data not found.");
$xml_output = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";
$xml_output .= "<entries>\n";
for($x = 0 ; $x < mysql_num_rows($resultID) ; $x++){
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultID);
    $xml_output .= "\t<entry>\n";
    $xml_output .= "\t\t<text>" . $row['Style'] . "</text>\n";
    $xml_output .= "\t\t<text>" . $row['Info'] . "</text>\n";
    $xml_output .= "\t</entry>\n";
$xml_output .= "</entries>";
echo $xml_output;
?>
Please drop me some advice! Even if you suggest a completely different way to achieve loading the MySQL records into the List!
Many Thanks
Vicky

It's not really clear where you're having a problem from what you say in your posting and you appear to be looking for general guidance. But even then you seem to have a grasp of what you need to do. If you have a handle on using PHP to interact with the database, and you intend to use XML as the data feed to Flash, then you want the PHP to echo the data in xml format. Using that approach is common.
If you have a problem understanding how to deal with parsing the xml, then you should search Google for a tutorial using search terms like "AS3 XML tutorial".
When you get to filling the list component, the help documents should help you determine what property (dataProvider) or method (addItem) you can to use to do that and what structure for the data is needed in either case.
If/when you have a specific problem with getting the actionscript working, then post it with the relevant code.

Problem in getting MM data into CM

Hi
I have configured Cash Management module and integrated MM, SD with forecasting. I am able to get the SD data into the forecast but not able to see the MM data in the forecast
I created PR but its level "M1" is not getting reflected in the forecast.
Please advice
Thanks

Beside the "Logistic level" (OT47), you must configure the "Structure" - OT17.
The Payment term must be filled in the Purchase order.

MySQL data into XML for DW CS3

Hi.
I have been developing mainly with the MySQL/ php frameworks,
but am keen to integrate MySQL data via SPRY. if I understand
correctly, data can only be in XML format to be available for the
SPRY features.
So my question is, how can/ what is the best practise for
creating XML data from a MySQL database, one that does not have to
be exported/processed by a user everytime data changes in the db.
Would InteraKt's XML import/export accomplish this or is
there any facilities from within DWCS3?
Many Thanks,
M Turner

XML generated this way?
In the Spry XML Data Set dialog box, click the Browse button
to navigate
to the page that generates the XML on the fly. By default,
the Select
XML Source dialog box displays only XML files. Click the
Files of type
drop-down menu to select All files (*.*). You can then select
a PHP,
ASP, or ColdFusion file.
As long as you have a testing server running locally, DW CS3
will
generate the XML schema correctly when you click Get schema
in the Spry
XML Data Set dialog box.

What is the best and easiest way to get xml data into the rtf document

Hello Frenz
I'm using rtf document(with bi publisher desktop plug in installed in the word document)... please suggest me the best way(to get the xml data from tables) to load the xml data into this rtf document..
I'm not developing oracle apps reports. It is for Oracle retail...
another doubt is... in the rtf document itself there is oracle bi publisher.. can it be used for generating xml data...
please bear with me and suggest me a way out
Thanks and regards

What will you be using in your production system to generate XML? Or are you just trying out BIP?
If you're familiar with dbms_xmlquery.getxml , you can pass your SQL to generate the XML output. Save the output in a file and use it in your RTF template.
If you have Oracle reports, you can create XML output when you run the report.

Getting BW data into WebDynpro table

Hi All
Can any one suggest me how to get data from BW? Is it possible to write any RFC for that?
As far as I know there are many options like BW Query Iviews etc but I need to get that data and have it in a table with lot of images based on result. So I guess I will able to achive this if I have all the data into WebDynpro Context.
Please suggest me if any one worked on this.

Hi,
You can use the BI Java SDK for this purpose. Using this you can execute any BI query through your Java code, retrieve the results and manipulate/display them as you please.

How to get SEC data into numbers??

I am trying to get the SEC data into a .csv file so that I can play with it in a numbers. A few years ago the program thumbval (thumbnail evalu-a-tor) did a pretty good job, but it used web queries, which broke over time, as the pages it referenced changed.
What I would like to do is simply get the data from the SEC, and CUT AND PASTE it into numbers, but this is difficult, as it is improperly formatted and just gets placed in a single cell. grrrrr
Any suggestions? Morningstar has 'watered down' financial statements in table form. My broker (BMO investorline) provides .csv files, but they contain only summary data - for instance the quarterly income for BWLD is just a few lines, and contains none of the detail breakdown found in the SEC reports.
The data exists. It is plastered all over the financial world, surely getting it into a spreadsheet ready format has been done to death, but I am going crazy trying to figure this one out.

Hello
As I don't know from where where grabbed your datas, I can't make tests.
May you copy a block of datas from the web page then paste into a Pages document.
After that activate the "Show hidden chars" tool.
You will see which character is used as a separator.
You may also attach the Pages doc (after zipping it) to a mail and send it to:
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I will be able to look at the datas's contents.
I met several cases.
- 1 - values separated by TABs and they may be pasted as is.
- 2 - values separated by Returns. They can't be pasted as is. I posted a script to deal with this case. But often this one is linked to Safari. Entering the Web page with Firefox gave a TAB separated values block
- 3 - values separated by spaces. In this case, it is difficult to get a correct result.
I posted a script able to deal with this case because most of the values where numbers so I was able to replace every occurence of (digit + space) by (digit + TAB) and every occurence of (space + digit) by (TAB + digit).

Getting xml data into Oracle 9.2

Hi
URGENT! NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!
I have an unique situation.
Iam getting large data in XML wrapper.The XML file has all sort of data in it
1. Multi-delimited text data in CData section
e.x H3005234 John Koenig 123 Street
H4004567 99999999 $1000.00 $200.00
2. Formatted text data in CData section which I need to preserve
I need to Take each of this data section and write it to individual normalized database columns
Iam thinking of taking the following approach
Use XMLDB and PL/SQL to parse the data and do data transofrmations
Iam having the following problems
1. The Multi-delimited data in CData section when i create a .xsd file is treated as text.Iam worried that since this is a multi-delimited fixed width file having white spaces .will the white spaces be eliminated while storage if so how would i parse the data to know which data belwongs to what section or record
2. How do i register the schema so that i can use the best approach to solve the issues
Please help
Thankyou

Oracle version: 8i - 9.0.x.x
There was no option that I can recall or could find. All the parsing of XML that I've done in 8i was via the xmldom package.
Oracle version: 9.2.x.x - 10.1.x.x
This is were Oracle introduced extract, extractValue and TABLE(XMLSequence(extract())) for dealing with repeating nodes.
Oracle version: 10.2.x.x
Oracle introduced XMLTable as a replacement for the previous methods since it could handle all three methods for extracting data from XML. At that point, Oracle stopped enhancing extract/extractValue in terms of performance and focused on XMLTable. In 10.2.0.1 and .2, XMLTable was implemented via Java and in .3 it was moved into the kernel so performance from .3 onwards should be better than the older 9.2 / 10.1 methods. If not, feel free to open a ticket with Oracle support. Apparently Oracle also introduced XMLQuery as well but I've never heard of many using that in 10.2

Need help getting mysql data

I have two pages, page X has all the record and page Y has a record that is based on a url paramater sent from page X, meaning at the end in the browser I have something like this:
the_site/item_detail.php?item_name=KEDS, CHUKKA, BLUE SLATE
The thing is, I want to get another record on page Y where I want to have some of the information of the first record which receives its URL paramater from page X.
More clear maybe:
On page Y, I have one record which receives its data info from a URL paramater sent from page X
on thi same page, I want to create another record and I would like this new record to use a column from the first one to get its data result.
Thank

I am retrieving data
on page Y there already a recordset that retrievs data based on the URL parameter sent from page X (recordset 1)
On the same page, I want to create another recordset (retrieve more data) and to retrieve this data (of recordset 2 on the same oage) I want to be able to use some information from recordset 1.

2.Tell me how to populate the report data into a table.And can we pull that bw table data into crm z table
Help me..
Thanks
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
For 2 point:
if you are in release < 3.5 you can use Tcode RSCRM_BAPI to produce a flat file from a query in CSV format.
if you are already in => 3.5 you can check for APD.
You can also use Openhub-InfoSpoke to produce flat file to feed other SAP systems.
Ciao.
