How to read web data in OBIEE

Experts, need your guidnace in reading data on cloud / web withing OBIEE. Say for example, I want to read facebook application (searching for certain text string) in OBIEE and create reports against the search result.
Please advise how to proceed on this?
-VJ

Thanks for the response John, but would i need to use the BPEL / ESB way or is there a solution within OBIEE. On to be very specific my requirement is to read data remotely without storing it anywhere localy. I understand consuming webservice should solve my purpose, but just wanted to confirm if you are talking about consuming a webservice using SOA technologies or somehing just with OBIEE server.
Regards, VJ

  • How to read the data in excel sheet

    Dear sir,
    How to read the data in excel sheet when i recieve a data serial communication... ie i have store a data in excel such that
    Cell A       Cell B
       A           Apple 
       B           Ball
       C           Cat
       D           Doll
    when i recieve A from serial communication i have to display Apple, and when i recieve B i have to display Ball and so on.. 

    Hi, 
    I would recommend you to have a look at the VI attached. It makes use of a VI named 'Read from Spreadsheet' to read the row and column data from the tab delimited excel file. The read data is then searched for the Alphabet specified and finally returns you the corresponding string. The test file used to validate the operation of the VI is also attached. 
    Trust this would help you solve the issue.

  • How to read the data in spectrum analyzer (Anritsu MS2661C) and put it in Excel using Labview

    Hi all, I'm new to using the labview, and I have some trouble doing my project using the labview software.
    I have been trying to use the spectrum analyzer (Anritsu MS2661C) which connect to computer using the GPIB connection.
    I have got the instrument driver which can write and control the instrument using Labview 2010.
    and my Question is how do read the data or result from the spectrum analyzer and send it to the microsoft excel?
    Do I need to use other software or programming to do this step?
    If anyone know how is this done, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Ery

    Hi ery,
    In order to send data that you have read in from an instrument to Excel, the most convenient way to do this would be to use our Report Generation Toolkit.  The Report Generation Toolkit is a very useful tool that allows you to interface to Microsoft Office software from LabVIEW, including Word and Excel.  I am not sure if you are familiar with this, but I have attached a link that explains more about the Report Generation Toolkit below.  
    Another way would be to use the Write To Spreadsheet File VI.  While this will store your data to a spreadsheet data file, it will not allow you to programmatically perform any Excel formatting like the Report Generation Toolkit offers.  I have also attached a link to some information on the Write To Spreadsheet VI below.  
    Also, be sure to check out the Example Finder in LabVIEW for a number of examples on how to write data to a spreadsheet file.  From LabVIEW, you can go to Help»Find Examples to launch the Example Finder.  From there, you can search for "spreadsheet," which should populate examples for use in different applications.  I hope this helps, ery.  Please let me know if you have any further questions about these!

  • How to read the date and time information of a file by labview

    how to read the date and time information of a file by labview? for example, created time and modified time.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    if you need to know the last modification date of file:-
    "Functions->File I/O->Advanced File Functions->File/Directory Info.vi"
    This vi returns the value of file's last modification date. This is returned as U32 number. To see it in MM/DD/YY format you must create the indicator, right-click on it and select "Format & Precision" item from drop-down menu. Then select "Time and Date" format there.
    Thanks as kudos only

  • How to read MetaStock  data?

    hi. dukes.
    i want to read MetaStcok data(i.e OHLC(Open High Low Close) parameter)
    i found a site that provide java api( jcob.jar ) to do the above thing;
    but i cant understand how it works.
    so if u have any suggestion or any better tutorials
    pls tell me.
    thanks...

    there are scores of sites giving the mathematical basis for statistical analysis of stock market movements.
    And there are many excellent books as well.
    To get the data, buy yourself a contract with a market data provider (word of warning: those contracts don't come cheap). Each will have their own way to deliver the data.
    It could be a file, a web service, a stream of formatted data pushed to your systems, or a combination of those.
    They'll also have information on how to interpret that data, as well as (often) APIs to access it, which may or may not be written in any particular programming language.

    Hi OraSuirya,
    you can try with external tables .
    syntax as follows
    create table ext_table_csv (
    i Number,
    n Varchar2(20),
    m Varchar2(20)
    organization external (
    type oracle_loader
    default directory ext_dir
    access parameters (
    records delimited by newline
    fields terminated by ','
    missing field values are null
    location ('file.csv')
    reject limit unlimited;
    For this you need to create directory
    Directory Creation syntax:
    create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
    grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
    please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
    I hope this will help you.
    Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .
    Thanks,

  • How to read the data from an internal table,when column names are known

    Hi All
    I have a specific requirement. I got an internal table with many fields (let it be my_tab).  Some of the fieldnames (column names in internal table my_tab) are stored in separate internal table(let it be my_fields).

    you don't appear to have posted valid XML, so I can't reproduce using your example, but you will need to look at something like this:
    select xtab.common_name
      from your_table yt
          ,xmltable('/SearchResourceResponse'
              passing xmltype(yt.response_xml)
              columns
                  common_name varchar2(20) path 'SearchResponseDetails/CommonName'
          ) xtab
    ;
