How to load ODBC data?

I have just installed NI DIAdem 9.1 on Windows XP and am struggling with the inadequate documentation.
I have a local MySQL database server running, and have installed the MySQL ODBC driver.
I have defined an ODBC data source to provide access to my database.
Now how do I get DIAdem to use the ODBC connection?
There is no file, just a named ODBC source.
I am upset that this simple action is not described in the documentation. (Or I cannot find it.)

Hi Nick,
DIAdem can interact with your data base in two ways.  You can open up the table and column hierarchy of your data base in the NAVIGATOR, which is nice because it shows you the whole data base and enables you to easily select which tables/columns you're interested in.  What's not so nice is that the only thing you can do at that point is to load entire columns from your data base into the Data Portal.  Most people have a data base for the particular reason that they want to query specific records out of selected columns, so it's rarely useful to load entire columns (though it makes for a good sales demo).
The second way that DIAdem can interact with your data base is through a VBScript which uses the "SQL_" ODBC functions.  If you launch the DIAdem Help system and go to the "Index" tab, then type "SQL_" in the keyword field and hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard, you will find a healthy list of built-in SQL commands to communicate with external data bases using ODBC.
I am including my own personal list of SQL examples as well,

    hi,
    create the load infopackage type and give the infopack you need to load.
    create 3 similar process types.
    chain should have this flow
    start -> delet index(if cube is the target) -> load target(connect the load process to start process) parallel -> and process -> create index(if cube)/actiavtion of ods(if ods)

    Hello Sachin,
    You can use the following metalink note:How to Read Data from an EXCEL Spreadsheet into a Form Using Webutil Client_OLE2 (Doc ID 813535.1) and modify it a little bit.
    Instead of copy values into forms you can save them in your temporary table.

    Hi Friends,
                      Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.
    Vijay

    It's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
    Give the data tab a meaningful name
    Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
    Delete any blank tabs
    If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text.  You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
    Schema.ini example:
    200912PUSD.csv
    ColNameHeader=True
    Format=CSVDelimited
    MaxScanRows=25
    CharacterSet=OEM
    Col1=SSN Char Width 9
    Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
    Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
    Col4=DOB Date
    Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
    Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
    Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
    Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
    Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
    The filename in the first line needs to have the []  brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

    Not a concern for an Oracle forum.

    Conventional solutions are

    - use Oracle Heterogeneous services
    - use Mickeysoft DTS

  • How to load transaction data

    Hi,
    Can anyone share how to load transaction data from BI Cube to BPC Cube. How do i map key figures in BI to BPC in NW version. Pls share any document that explains.
    Thanks
    Veeru

    For example, I've a BI Actual Cube with two key figures quantity and amount. I would like to copy this data to a BPC cube. Since BPC cube has only signed date (one key figure), how do we transform the data from BI cube to BPC. Can we able to achive this using transformation and  conversion file in NW. Is SAP providing standard packages that convert KF's in BI cube to BPC dimension members.
    Whats the approach you are doing for the scenarios where you are converting multiple key figures into BPC dimensions. I did not find a good document that explains this process.
    Thanks for sharing any information.

  • How to load the data in DSO

    Hello,
             In my BI system ,i have the DSO and InfoCube ,haveing the
    infopackage Delta and Init..can any one tell me how to load the data from R/3 in to DSO ,when we have two infopackage(one is delta nad other is Init).Please define brifly.

    Hello,
    The procedure is as follows.
    1) First run the init infopackage (either with or without data), preferably with data.
    2) Then run the delta infopackage always. (it will get delta records always).
    Now if there are any errors and delta gets faulted, you can delete the init from the init infopackage and run the init infopackage again.
    And then schedule the delta.
