How to get data from external source

Hi experts,
I want to get data from a different source e.g. from oracle. How can i get the data in BW??
Sam

Hi Samir
there are different interfaces are available according to the source system.
For Oracle source system you can use DB connect interface.
you can extract data from several data sources to BI
File Interface:: Using this interface, you can access files in ASCII format or CSV format
DB Connect :: You use DB Connect to open other database connections in addition to the default connection and use these connections to transfer data from tables or views into a BI system.
UD Connect :: UD Connect (Universal Data Connect) uses the Application Server J2EE connectivity to enable the reporting and analysis of both SAP and non-SAP data. Using UD Connect, you can access all relational and multidimensional data sources. UD Connect transfers the data as flat data.
BI Service API ::
Web Service for Staging ::You use the Web service to write the data from the source into the PSA. The transfer of data is controlled externally, without placing demand on BI.
You can use this interface in conjunction with real-time data acquisition.
Please assign points if this info helps.
Regards
Vivek..

How to GET data from external secure website?

We are trying to get data from a secure website. It is something like I try to get my bank statement online, where I have a user id and password to the secure website and try to get the data from XI.
Does anybody have any idea how we could do it? What adapter should be used.
I would really appreciate your help and award points.
Thank,
Arjun.

Hi,
Depends on how u are connecting to the website and getting the data.
But you can do this using HTTP/Java Proxies. You can use HTTP if you are connecting via a URL. thats the most standard procedure.

How to get data from CRM systems?

Hi...
How to use adapters to get data from external systems such as CRM systems.

It is totally depends what kind of message is or are coming out from CRM Systems.
If it is sending IDoc then use Idoc adapter.
If it is BSP and sending HTTP Post then use HTTP adapter.
If you are using proxy then use XI adapter.
thanks

Querying data from External Source from FORMS

I have a form that is built based on Oracle tables.
But I need to get data from external Data source from within Forms and use it fro validation.
I need to execute a Select statement via ODBC from within Forms procedures. This is going to a SQL Server DB to get some information.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi
What version of forms do you use? If you use forms 6i, take a look at the EXEC_SQL package. You can access oracle databases and ODBC databases (using OCA) independently of the main database connection -- well, I never tried but that is what the documentation says.
I am not sure about version 9i... the package is there, but I could not find anything in the help about it (what is not a good sign...)

Sending and getting data from external file.

I'm running it in actionscript 1 and 2 since 3 wouldn't work when getting data from external media. I'm trying to find out how to post data to a PHP file and getting from that file I'm trying to make the flash for something that works like a game but differently. Since I just found out how to make the HTML stuff show up but a lot of times, some of my text will not appear so I don't know what's going on.
Does anyone know how to send and get data both at the same time from a sample file?
The sample file is example.php
It has to sent information like ID and NAME
and it has to get information like Description and userID

The tutorial I pointed you to does provide the visuals you requested, both the AS code and sample PHP code, so I can't see where your learning by visuals aspect holds up.... your approach sounds more like you want someone to hand you a tailored solution that you won't need to learn from. Visuals require reading and doing. If that fails to get absorbed or you couldn't understand/revise it, what could anyone else prepare for you that would work better?
I did the tutorial and everything but every time I press the button or even load it, it keeps on saying undefined. I like the have a sample FLA file so I can figure things out. I did everything from the site but it won't work out for me.
I did step 5 too because it was almost all that I was looking for but it won't even work. keeps on saying undefined. I would show you but webcam max won't work and I can't show you an example.
EDIT:
You know it's frustrating when I don't know how the heck I'm supposed to do this stuff. I read the whole dang thing and I still can't get this dang thing working.
I did everything. EVERYTHING. I just don't get this crap.

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.

How to get information from ODBC sources to Forms Builder environment

Hi,
Could anyone help me, to get some examples or more information, that how can I get information from ODBC sources to Forms Builder environment. I have a need to read data for example to LOV.

If you are on Forms 6i you install the Oracle Client Adaptor from the Forms CD. You then have a way of connecting to ODBC datasources.
To connect to ODBC at the same time as you are connected to Oracle you can use the EXEC_SQL package to create a second connection via odbc and issue select statements against that datasource.

How to fetch data from different sources into one source (like into Ztable)

hi friends,
As per our client requirements they want to develope an Inventory and an Ontime delivery report in BO on top of Oracle database.
Situation is some thing like they have ECC 6.0.and they want to collect all inventory and ontime delivery data at one place.According to me that could be one Ztable in which we can gather all data.Apart from that they are going to use Data Integrator in which they can directly fetch the data from R/3 system(They dont want to have BI system) and put all data in Oracle DB.On top of ORacle BO person can develop BO reports.
My question is how to fetch all data at one place and what are the tables going to be use.
kindly help me out as its very important project.
Thanks

The following is my standard reply to those who need to get old data from a backup in one account and add it to another account. The method described here may be applied to your case. It would be a bit of a long process, though.
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

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)
DATA: BEGIN OF datos OCCURS 0,
      id_numeric(10),
      component_name(40),
      comuna(10),
      record_id(10),
      status,
      sampled_date(10),
      END OF datos.
DATA: c TYPE cursor.
EXEC SQL.
connect to 'LIM' as 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
SET CONNECTION 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL PERFORMING loop_output.
SELECT ID_NUMERIC, COMPONENT_NAME, COMUNA, RECORD_ID, STATUS, SAMPLED_DATE
into :datos from lims.SAMP_TEST_RESULT
where     date > '01-09-2010'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
disconnect 'MYDB'
ENDEXEC.
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
Regards

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.

Hi,
This may be of help.
Remember Pointless has made a point ;) (worth millions)
If possible , DO NOT store dates as strings or numbers.Let dates be dates.
WITH dat AS
(SELECT ' THIS IS JAN' x,to_char(to_date('01-JAN-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS FEB' x,to_char(to_date('01-FEB-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS MAR' x,to_char(to_date('01-MAR-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS APR' x,to_char(to_date('01-APR-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS MAY' x,to_char(to_date('01-MAY-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS JUN' x,to_char(to_date('01-JUN-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS JUL' x,to_char(to_date('01-JUL-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS AUG' x,to_char(to_date('01-AUG-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS SEP' x,to_char(to_date('01-SEP-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION
SELECT ' THIS IS OCT' x,to_char(to_date('01-OCT-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'),'mon/yyyy') y FROM dual UNION

How to get data from a file?

Hello everyone, i'm new to this forum and to java too. Ok, so here is what i want to do:
I want to get data from a file containing words and numbers and store them into variables that i will use them after to insert into a database table. For example i have a file called employees.txt in this form:
eid ename zipcode Hire_date
1000 "Jones" 67226 "12-DEC-95"
In C++ i declare variables for each data and store them, for example in this case:
ifstream in("somefile");
string name, hdate;
int eid, zip;
in >> eid >> ename >> zip >> hdate;
So i want to do the same thing in JAVA but i can't make it work. So, i would appreciate if someone could give me a simple example how to do it. Thank you.

How to get data from PDF form?

PDF forms can send data in url like GET or POST method. Is it possible to get data from url, like in PHP http://sever/file.php?item1=value1&item2=value2&item3=value3
In APEX url have specific construction and I don't know how to get value of items (1...3)
Please let me help to find simple method of geting data from URL.
Best Regards,
Mark

The APEX URL syntax is detailed here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/concept.htm#BCEDJBEH
How to get it from PDF is another matter...
I'm working on an app that downloads PDFs with a Large amount of data as a blob, takes that blob and changes it to XML, then goes through the xml to validate each section of data and then add it into the schema that my apex app is referencing....
I didn't write the original code but I do know that it isn't a quick thing to implement and includes using some uploading some java jar files to your schema and writing some custom java code.
Someone else may be able to help with grabbing PDF data into the URL for the amounts of data you want to pass to apex.
Gus..
