How to fetch data from a SAP BW Cube via Perl/PHP on a Linux machine?

Hi all,
here's the scenario:
I need to fetch data from a cube of a remote SAP NetWeaver 7. The data will later be used in a web application based on Linux and Perl/PHP. (I'd prefer using perl for the backend and doing the business logic of the web application.)
I have:
A Linux system with all its on-board tools and scripting languages.
A user for the SAP BW which allows me to logon (very,very limited user rights, no se37,no se80,no rsaX and so on)
Access to http://<SAP BW Server>:<Port>/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla with the above mentioned user.
My questions:
- Could you please push me into the right direction how I can realize this? E.g. by pointing to tutorials / HowTos / sample code / CPAN modules etc.. (Most information I found so far referred to software based on a different operating system and on remote function calls using custom functions.)
- I'm aware of the SAPNW::RFC CPAN module, but do I necessarily have to perform a remote function call? ( If so, is there a "standard" function I could call for accessing a cube?)
Thanks a lot in advance!

You can take through the RFCS .check for some system function modules...but why do you need to route it through XI?How huge z the files?

Fetch data from three different Essbase cube in to Reporting

Hi Experts,
I want to know how to fetch data from three different Essbase cubes in to HFR or smart view reports.

If you create a multiple data source Financial Reports report, you get the best of both worlds:
1) No code required reports
2) You can view the reports in Workspace
3) You can view the FR reports in SmartView
Unless you really need it, I wouldn't go down the SmartView/VBA path, especially as you lose all ad-hoc capability with a mutli sheet retrieval with code. There are costs associated with going down the path of template reporting (which is what you are now talking about). See this thread for a good discussion of those costs:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1300202750/Template+Coding+Smartview+or+Classic+-Opinionson+time
Remember, the people posting in this thread are pretty experienced practitioners, so unless you are a code god, I would multiply the estimates by 1.5 or 2 or 3, especially if you're learning the VBA functions for the first time.
Just my $0.02.

Hi Venkat,
I guess you mean an infocube from the SAP BI product. I propose to look at the forum for Business Intelligence to find your answers.
E.g. SAP POS DM writes the sales data in infocubes.....

How to load data from a ODS to CUBE Request ID - by - Request ID?

<i>How to load data from a ODS to CUBE Request ID - by - Request ID?</i>
The problem is that... some requests had been eliminated of the cube and the delta control between the ODS and CUBE was lost. The flag "<b>data mart status of request</b>" of all the requests of the ODS had been blank.
Now it is necessary to load some requests from the ODS for the cube.
Notes:
- it is not possible to make a complete load selecting the data to be loaded;
- the PSA is not being used;
- considering the data volume it is impracticable to reload the cube completely.
Thanks in advance,
Wesley.

Dear R B,
Considering the following:
-> the delta control was lost;
-> the data already are active in the ODS;
-> part of the data of the ODS already is in the cube.
The indicated procedure it only guarantees the load of the data that are in the ODS and that are not in the cube.
Tks,
Wesley.

How to fetch data from database in javafx 2.2 table which is editable.

Dears!
I want to fetch data from database in javafx 2.2 tableformat with jdbc , which is also editable and i can add more records in this table also.
Can anybody help me

I can vaguely recall some sort of JavaFX database connectivity feature, I'm not sure if it's valid anymore.The link is based on JavaFX Composer which only applied to NetBeans 6.9 and JavaFX 1.x (both of which are now dead techs).
There is a good chance you will have to write your own. There are several blogs describing other peoples' work. You could probably use them as a reference.Here is Narayan's basic [url http://blog.ngopal.com.np/2011/10/19/dyanmic-tableview-data-from-database/] tutorial for displaying data from a database in a TableView, you'll need to look elsewhere for the editing portion.
The [url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm]JavaFX TableView tutorial gives info about how to handle edits in a TableView, but you will need to tie the updates back to the database yourself.
It is possible that [url http://www.javafxdata.org/]DataFX may provide some facilities to help support you.

How to fetch data from XML and store it in internal table

Hi All,
Can anyone help me out, in fetching data from xml and store it in an internal table. Is there any standard function module is there?
Regards,
Karthick

to do this you can either develop a XSLT program and use it with CALL TRNSFORMATION key word to tranform the XML into itab .
(search the ABAP General forum, i have posted few samples)
or simply use the following FM which converts your XML into a itab of name value pair (name would holw the element name and value would hold the value of the element) which you can then loop and read it to your itb.
data:             xmldata type xstring .
data: result_xml type standard table of smum_xmltb .
data: return type standard table of bapiret2 .
CALL FUNCTION 'SMUM_XML_PARSE'
EXPORTING
    xml_input       = xmldata
TABLES
    xml_table       = result_xml
    return          = return .

hi guys,
               I am fetching data from db table "mcha". now in the follwing code i get it in "HSDAT1_DATE."
               now when i read out_tab with key "HSDAT1". it wont come in out_tab-value.plz tell me what is wrong whether some key condition in out_tab or any thing else.
and what should i write in changing && in script.

FORM DATE_MGF TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
                     OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
tables :MCHA ,QALS.
DATA : WERKS1 LIKE QALS-WERK.
DATA : HSDAT1 LIKE MCHA-HSDAT.
DATA : DATE(2),
         MONTH(2),
         YEAR(4).
DATA : HSDAT1_DATE(10).
READ TABLE IN_TAB WITH KEY 'QALS-WERK'.
LOOP AT IN_TAB.
    IF SY-TABIX EQ 1.
      WERKS1 = IN_TAB-VALUE.
      IF WERKS1 NE SPACE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SELECT SINGLE HSDAT INTO HSDAT1
                      FROM MCHA
                                WHERE WERKS = WERKS1.
DATE = HSDAT1+6(2).
MONTH = HSDAT1+4(2).
YEAR = HSDAT1+0(4).
CONCATENATE DATE '.' MONTH '.' YEAR INTO HSDAT1_DATE.
READ TABLE OUT_TAB WITH KEY 'HSDAT1' .
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    OUT_TAB-VALUE = HSDAT1.
    MODIFY OUT_TAB INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDIF.

Hi,
Let me understanf clearly what you want.
initally mine out_tab is blank
According to you, your table out_tab is blank. And you need to add out_tab-value = HSDAT1_date.
READ TABLE OUT_TAB WITH KEY 'HSDAT1' .
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    OUT_TAB-VALUE = HSDAT1.
    MODIFY OUT_TAB INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDIF.
So, if your table is blank, then read statement will fail.
Please let me know if your table out_tab in blank when you are reading the table and if this table contains any field called HSDAT.
Basically i would like to know your internal table out_tab declaration.
Thanks,
Archana

How to fetch data from SolMan and move it into SAP BI?

Hi all,
I have the portal activity report data residing in the SolMan ( achieved by configuring portal and SolMan). I need to extract this data from Solution Manager into SAP BI, such that i can report on the data in SAP BI using the BEx tools. How will i proceed with it ? Your response is higly appreciated.
Regards,
Divya.

Hello Divya,
You must set up E2E Diagnostics for the managed system (portal system).
You can accomplish this by running transaction solman_setup in the Sollution Manager and ensure that Initial and Basic Configurations are performed. Afterwards, you must follow the Managed System Configuration (also in solman_setup) for the managed system.
Afterwards you must activate some specific Portal Activity Data Collectors following the note 1309740.
Best regards,
