How to export data from DB to flat file with ODI?

we want to export DB2 tables to flat files.
Who can tell me how to do it with ODI?
Please give me a simple example or steps.
Thank you.

There are two ways
Either use IKM Sql to File Append
(or)
OdiSqlUnload
For OdiSqlUnload you can use this technique to provide the connection parameters - http://odiexperts.com/?p=1985

How to extract data from essbase to oracle database incrementally?

I have to extract data from essbase to an oracle database table incrementally using informatica , can anyone tell me how to do it or give me some tips. I have been thinking about it for a whole day but have no ideas.
I cannot do the delete & insert method because this oracle database table is a interface table that has to deliver the data to Oracle ESB tables.
Thanks in advance....

How to get data from an existing Excel file using report generation toolkit

I'm trying to use the Excel Get Data vi from the report generation toolkit, but i can't figure out how to turn a browsable path into the right type for the VI. I've tried using the New Report.vi, but that doesn't work unless you use a template. It won't open an existing excel file and make it an open report to pull data from.
Essentially, i have a bunch of excel files that have data in them and i want to use a VI to analyze the data. So, i'm trying to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so i don't have to reproscess them all into text so i can use the more standard spreadsheet VIs. But to even convert the excel file programtically in labview won't i still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I C.
Got it,
the reason why I can view it using my Excel file because its in .CSV.
I open Microsoft Excel to open .CSV file.
But you can also open .csv file with notepad.
So, you cannot open .xls with Read Spreadsheet File
I learn something everyday

How to load data from oracle table to XML using ODI ?

Hello Team
I am trying to load data from an oracle table to an xml file. I have configured the physical and the logical schemas for the same. I have used SQL to SQL as LKM and SQL to SQL Append as IKM with Sunopsis Memory Engine as staging area.
After this, when I am executing the interface, it is executed without any errors but to my surprise I am not finding the relevant data in the xml file. What could be the reason ?
Please look into this and lemme know how to solve it.
Thanks.

Hello Phanikanth
Even IKM SQL Control Append is not solving the problem. There are many " order columns" in the target xml table. I have not mapped them or specified any order. Does the problem persist because of this ?

How to extract data from an arbitrary xml file and export in a nice csv file?

Hallo,
I'm facing big problems in the use of XML files. I have an
application which generates XML files with clusters containing arrays
and scalars like in the example pasted below. My task is to
read it and export the data in a human-friendly CSV document.
Since I don't know the actual content of the cluster, I need some kind
of intelligent vi which goes through the XML file looking for arrays
and other data structures in order to export them properly in the CSV
format (columns with headers).
Thank you

Thank you again,
I'm forwarding my vi draft with many comments and an xml file sample.
Data in cluster is stored according to the LabVIEW schema, infact it is generated by LabVIEW.
What I'm trying to do is to access the element of the cluster and read their content using the Invoke node and Property node functions. Could you give it a look, there may be something wrong, I'm not able to access cluster children.
Which funcions should I use? Could you give me an example? You may use the draft I enclosed...
Then write these data in a csv file
should be the easier part.

Extracting data from Essbase & loading into flat file through ODI

Hi,
I want to extract data from Essbase and load it into a flat file through ODI(for extraction from essbase I'm using a report script) and I’m using these KM’s:- LKM Hyperion Essbase data to SQL,IKM SQL to FILE Append & for reversing I’m using RKM Hyperion Essbase.All the mappings have been done and the interface has been made. But when I’m executing the interface it is throwing the error below:-

It seems that you are trying to use the file as your staging areas. Hyperion LKM extracts essbase data into a DB staging area which can then be used by your file IKM to load it into file.
You need to use a RDBMS for your staging area.

Extract data from Essbase with HAL to a flat file

Hello,
I would like to extract data from Essbase with HAL.
I use the essbase Adapter with the "Extract Data" Method.
All is working when I use only the essbase Adaptater and configure it.
But I want to have a variable on my Years dimension.
I have to fill "Years member port" and "Years Criteria port" of my essbase Adapter with variable.
I have a "v_year" and "v_year_criteria" variable. I fill "v_year" with "FY05" but I don't know how fill my "v_year_criteria" variable.
Thanks a lor for answer.

If you are in 9.3x, I would recommend using the DATAEXPORT calc script function. You just FIX on what you want to export (including substitution variables), and then fill in some parameters and it writes a file. Look in the DBAG.

How to extract data from ODS to non-SAP system

Hi,
Can anybody tell me, step by step, how to extract data from ODS to a non-SAP system?
Is it possible to do it without programming effort? And is there volume limits for this kind of extraction?
The non-SAP system is an unix system.
Thanks in advance
Ella

Ella,
You can look at it from the concept of a BADI / Infospoke
Extract the data from the ODS to a Flat file / RDBMS using an infospoke. I am not sure as to how the infospoke loads data into the RDBMS ( did it very long ago ) but then you can push it into an RDBMS and I am sure it will be system neutral.
Hope this helps...

Assign points if it helps

Error while extracting data from essbase

Hi All,
Now I'm tring to extract data from essbase by ODI, and at the sametime, I need to do some transformations, such as join with other relational tables or flat files to get more information about metadata. But unfortunately, once I add join into the interface, an error occurs. And it works fine if I extract directly (with no joins).
Is there any other way except using staging table? Our data vloume is large, using staging table will waste lots of storages.

Appriciated!

Extract the essbase data to a staging area and then do the transformations in another interface.
The adaptor needs to extract the data first.

For information :
I use an reportscript which extract 400 000 records. I think that the problem comes from the staging area. How to modify size of the management of the memory?
I don't have this problem when i extract just 2 000 records for exemple.
Best regards,
Ben

Hi,
Are you using a local or a defined agent?
Are you using the memory engine as the staging area.
Anyway you can increase the memory being used by the JVM depending on the above.

Extract data from Essbase using APIs

Hi All
I was going through the API documentation for Essbase and data extraction from Essbase using API.
It seems APIs make use of Report script to extract data from Essbase. This would increae the overhead of writing a report script everytime you need to extract data from Essbase.
Is there any other method to extract/export whole or specific data from essbase using APIs?
How does Excel Add-in retrieves data from essbase without any report script?
Can Provider services be helpful in any way to achieve this?
Please help

Hi,
Its hard to say if there is a faster way without knowing how you're doing it now. A few questions:
- why are you using the API to get at Essbase Data, especially if you've already defined a (some) report scripts?
- if you want to use provider services, vs having to ensure all the libraries and the client are present, why not use the JAPI?
- Without seeing your code, its hard to know why you're getting out of memory errors. What are you doing with the data as you're parsing it from the report?
Grid API exists for the C API, and more noteable the JAPI, but not VB(I'm surprised the VB api still exists).
Why not just use the Java API?

Extract data from Essbase - MDX/Report Script

Hi,
I was trying to extract data from an ASO cube using both MDX and Report Script approaches.
I liked the MDX_ method since i could specify:
- level zero members with values for the Revenue measure.
SELECT
{[Revenue]} on columns,
NON EMPTY{[Accounts].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(1),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts2].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(2),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts3].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(3),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts4].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(4)
FROM CUBER.CUBER
Problem:_ For other measure, it shows many #Missing at Cost measure field. Not sure how it happened. I tried to use:
SELECT
{[Revenue]} on columns,
NON EMPTY{ FILTER ([Accounts].Levels(0).Members}, [Revenue] <> Missing) on AXIS(1),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts2].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(2)
FROM CUBER.CUBER
But still does not solve the issue.
Then i tried to use Report Script_ approach. However, it is not simple to declare that i want all level zero members within dimension Account1 (which has 5 level hierarchy, with level zero members almost each level) and only entries that has values for my measure "Revenue" or "Cost"

Hi Ye
For extracting data from Essbase you need to have either Calc script or Report script and you have to use LKM Essbase(Data) to SQL as your KM
For loading data into SQL server you can use IKM SQL Append or IKM SQL incremental update.
When you use Essbase as your source you have to use LKM ESSBASE (MetaData) to SQL as your KM.
So all sources would have LKMs (as KMs) and all targets have IKM as KMs.
