HANA view as source in Data Services

Hi Gurus,
I have a data flow in Data Services where an attribute view is used as source. That is data flow is running fine as of now.
As per an updated requirement, we have added couple of fields to the view additionally and have to use them in our data flow.
But, when I try to re-import the view into HANA, it is not allowing to do so. It is throwing an error that the table does not exist.
However, if I delete it from my repository and import it as a new one, it is working fine.
Could you please let me know if there is any specific way to re-import views from HANA into Data Services.
Thanks,
Raviteja.

SAP does not provide officially an SAP R3 connector for Data Federator 3.x.
There is a prototype though that you can download and use. Keep in mind though that this is no official SAP product yet..

Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently are their any data services provided to do this?

1. Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently?
2. Will it process it node by node or the entire file at a time?
3. Are there any data services provided to do this?
This for a project use case i also have an requirement to process bulk XML files, suggest me to accomplish this task

Hi Patrick,
I am addressing the similar issue. "Getting data from huge XMLs into Hana."
Using Odata services can we handle huge data (i.e create schema/load into Hana) On-the-fly ?
In my scenario,
I get a folder of different complex XML files which are to be loaded into Hana database.
Then I gotta transform & cleanse the data.
Can I use oData services to transform and cleanse the data ?
If so, how can I create oData services dynamically ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Result set not visible in Test View for Physical data service

I have configured a MS SQL server stored procedure as a data service. It returns a resultset. I am calling this data service (physical) from a logical data service. I am able to see the returned result set in the test view (workshop) of the logical data service but not in the test view of the physical data service? Is this a problem within the workshop?
Any help is appreciated.

Never heard of this before. Can you turn on Auditing of XQuery parameters and results and then show me the audit information so I can see you are calling both the logical and the physical data service with the same arguments?
It would also help to see both the logical and physical ds and their schemas. Just zip and post the whole dsp project if possible.

How to pass the data from a input table to RFC data service?

Hi,
I am doing a prototype with VC, I'm wondering how VC pass the data from a table view to a backend data service? For example, I have one RFC in the backend system with a tabel type importing parameter, now I want to pass all the data from an input table view to the RFC, I guess it's possible but I don't know how to do it.
I try to create some events between the input table and data service, but seems there is no a system event can export the whole table to the backend data service.
Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer, I tried the solution 2, I create "Submit" button, and ser the mapping scope to be "All data rows", it only works when I select at least one row, otherwise the data would not be passed.
Another question is I have serveral imported table parameter, for each table I have one "submit" event, I want these tables to be submitted at the same time, but if I click the submit button in one table toolbar, I can only submit the table data which has a submit button clicked, for other tables, the data is not passed, how can I achieve it?
Thanks.

Handling Characters Like # in Data, when exposing HANA views via oData services?

We've some special characters in the fields (like '#' ), and because of this the client side ODataModel /JSON parsing is breaking when ever the data has these characters.
Is there anyway to encode this at the HANA server level while exposing the views?

Hi Latha,
I've tried numerous combinations but I can't seem to create a view to return the data that I need.
For example, I thought I would need to create an Attribute view based on the M_TIME_DIMENSION_WEEK table BUT then noticed that I can't join this to my table as I only have a date column, i.e. at DAY granularity.
Therefore I created an attribute view based on the M_TIME_DIMENSION table to match the granularity of the Date column in my table and joined this to my foundation table using the SAPDATE column..
The M_TIME_DIMENSION table also has a WEEK column and I thought I would be able to use that as a basis for the aggregation (SUM) of my Amount column but I haven't been able to make that work.
So basically I have a table like this:
MANDT
NVARCHAR
COMPANYCODE
NVARCHAR
BUSINESSPARTNER
NVARCHAR
AMOUNT
DECIMAL
CURRENCY
NVARCHAR
POSTINGDATE
NVARCHAR
And I want to return sums of the amount field based on the WEEK number of the POSTINGDATE field
The annoying thing is that I can write a simple SQL statement like this to produce what I want:
select week(postingdate), sum(amount)
from myDbTable
where year(postingdate) = 2014
and companycode = '123'
and currency = 'EUR'
and mandt = '090'
group by week(postingdate)
The problem is reproducing the 'week' function in an analytic/calculation/attribute view.
Of course 'companycode', 'currency' etc would need to be dimensions but I'm sure you understand what I mean.
Any tips/ideas would be very welcome.
Kind regards,
Keith

Data Services ORA-00942 table does not exist. Source/Target same DB

Error: u201CORA-00942: table or view does not existu201D
Source & Target Datastores in same Oracle DB but different User/Schemas.
I set up the Data Services Tutorial Source & Target Data bases in ONE Oracle DB using a separate User/Schema for the ODS source DB & TARGET Source DB.
I then created
- Source datastore for the ODS DB User/schema
- Target datastore for the TARGET DB user/Schema.
I have no problem reading flat files & writing to TARGET datastore tables.
However, when I read the ODS datasttore source table CUSTOMER & write to the TARGET datastore target table CUST_DIM I get an error: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
I can query the table contents from the Data Flow & see the data in the source data & see the empty target table.
So the tables exists & there is no security issues from the DS Designer.
I did find note 1189910 - ERROR: Error Description: An error occurred while creating the result data - Data Insight XI
Cause
Multiple engines are being run against the same metadata repository.
Resolution
Verify that only one engine is being run against a single metadata repository.
Has anyone seen this error?
Or has anyone created a 2 data stores on the SAME DB, but to different User/Schemas?
Thanks
Jay Roble

since you are accessing 2 schema which are on same oracle database, DS engine is trying to optimize and generating an INSERT INTO ... SELECT clause. Since its the same DB, DS Engine is doing a implicit linking of the datastores
you can see the SQL generated from the Designer, drill down into DF, from the Menu select Validation ->Display Optimised SQL
to disable this implicit linking, right click on the Dataflow, select properties
in the properties window, unselect the the option "use database links"

Issue while using views in Data services Jobs

Hi,
In Data Services Job, i am trying to pull data from a view to a table. The view is pointing to the table which is in other database.
The problem is when i import the source view into data services and view the data, i found one row having wrong data. The values in that row are wrong/corrupted while the same row in the source table is having correct values
I queried the view from TOAD for that record. The values are valid.
The data is coming wrong only in Data services. Any row in that table gets corrupted, there is no specific row.
Hence while running the jobs i am getting errors.
Any idea what can be the reason of getting corrupted data in view while same view when queried from TOAD gives correct values?

hi,
There is a possibility of unsupported data type by data service, please share the data service version, database type and data type of column which got corrupted.
Regards,
M Ramesh

Authorization Issue while Data Preview from HANA View

Hi Experts,
We are using BW on HANA. We have created DSOs (info provider) in BW and generated HANA views from there. We have also created analysis authorizations in BW for authorization relevant characteristics. In HANA, we are able to go to the generated analytic view and preview the data from it successfully.
Now I have created a test user and assigned a custom role with below authorizations to this user in HANA:
- bw2hana/../REPORTING role (this role is automatically created by activation of DSO in BW).
- Roles MODELING, MONITORING, CONTENT_ADMIN, USER.
- Multiple system privileges although not needed, like REPO.EXPORT, REPO.IMPORT, etc.
- Analytic Privilege _SYS_BI_CP_ALL
- Package Privilege: REPO.READ for all required packages (tried with ROOT package also).
In BW system also, the test user has analysis authorizations providing access to the relevant info objects.
But when I am trying to preview data for HANA view, I am getting attached error (also listed below):
"Cannot get the data provider outline
SAP DBTech JDBC: [2048]: Column store error: Search table error: [2950] user is not authorized"
I tried to trace the situation is HANA and got below details in 2 trace files:

Do you know what this "Error during converting SqlAPs to Query entries" actually means"? How can we resolve this issue? The authorization is working properly for our user ids. But we need to provide restricted access for business users so trying to create test user and custom role.
Thanks
Nitesh Gupta

Hi Pinaki and Prabhith,
Yes, my issue was resolved. Sorry, missed to updated here.
I was just a beginer for BW on HANA Security at that time and didn't know many small things. The solution was pretty simple.
Whenever you assign analysis authorizations to a user in BW, you also need to generate corresponding HANA authorization. This is done through tcode RS2HANA_CHECK tcode. This tcode converts BW analysis authorizations into HANA analysis authorizations and assign to the HANA user. You can see generated HANA authorization table RS2HANA_AUTH_STR in both BW and HANA.
Once the HANA authorizations are successfully generated for a user, he should be able to see data from Views.
Let me know if this solves issues. Then I will close this thread.
Thanks

Unable to view enhanced field in Data Source

Hi All,
We recently upgraded our R/3 system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. Now when we are enhancing the data source, the field is visible in the Extract Structure. But we are unable to view it in the data source. We checked out in RSA2 the enhanced field attribute is specified as 'Field in OLTP and BW Hidden by SAP'. We have written code to modifiy the ROOSFIELD table to make the enahnced field visible. But this is the problem with all the data sources. Whenever, we have to enahnce, we have to go thru this process to make the enhanced field visible.
Is it like that we missied out any patch in ECC 6.0 while upgrade? If any person faced similar situation, please help us.

Hi Ravi,
I think you are missing a step here. As soon as you enhance your datasource with new fields, by default, those 2 check boxes are checked ( Hidden and Field in User exit only). You go to RSA6, edit your datasource and here, you can uncheck these added fields so that you can use them. You do not need to write any code to change the fields settings in ROOSFIELD table. Do the step I mentioned above after enhancing and you should be good. Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

An error occurred querying a data source - with REST services

Hi,
I have a SharePoint 2013 form library library with an info-path form. I need to get the logged in user's 'Display Name' on my form load automatically.
I used REST service to fetch the current user details. In the preview mode of the form, its showing the right name. But when I publish this form to library I am getting the following error.
REST Service --> http://site url/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your time and reply :)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that an error occurred querying a data source with REST services.
It is defiantly permission issue with GetUserProfileByName service
and could be many reasons of this problem. You first try with UDCX file and make sure that UPS is running.

How did you install the 32bit Oracle client? As part of the main installation maybe? Probably not, it seems it was a separate installation...
Yesterday my server did not have the 32bit libs from Oracle so I installed the Oracle Instant Client software. To make that picking the tnsnames.ora I did go to
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment variables
and created a new one called TNS_ADMIN and its value was the directory of the tnsadmin file, e.g. c:\Oracle\Product\network\admin

Livecycle 8.0 data view does not identify data source as table

Livecycle 8 documentation states:
To create a table from a data source
Some data from a data source could be shown in a table. When you connect to a data source, the Data View palette identifies any items that could be tables. LiveCycle Designer also shows which items will become rows in the table if it finds a repeating data group.
however, I have successfully created connections for MS Access tables, SQL server tables and XML files, but none of them were identified as capable of being shown in a table. I have not been able to successfully create or populate a table from a data source. What am I missing?

Yes, i'm in a important projekt at the moment.
Its also intresting that in an other apex installation (same version) on an other server (same OS) - i'm working a bit longer with - the data load works...
So i dont know any reason for the problem.
