How to write python code in Data Services ?

I read that you can use python programming to do tasks that custom SAP Data Services Designer components cannot do. Here is the link for that -
SAP Data Services/BODS equivalent of Microsoft SSIS Script Task
I don't know where I can type my code in DS / BODS. I see a script in the designer window, but it has nothing to do with python. Can someone show me
where it is and how to do programming in SAP DS ?
In SSIS, creating a script with programming language is very easy. Just drag and drop the Script component and start coding right away.
Unfortunately, SAP does not seem to be so simple.

Hi Terry,
There is simple solution provided by Ramesh Murugan then why do you want go for hard way !! Not sure your intention
For your questions
Can we do the ENTIRE etl in python ?
Not sure but I didn't get any complicated scenarios so for and also we need to consider performance as well
Challenge with some complicated scenarios with BODS !! We happy to provide solutions
But every tool has unique capability !!

How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.

Hi There,
How to use TRUNC function with dates in Expression Builder in OBIEE.
TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MM') returns '07/01/2010' where sysdate is '07/15/2010' in SQL. I need to use the same thing in expression builder in BMM layer logical column.
Thanks in advance

use this instead:

How to use Reference type of Data Element

Hi guys, is there anyone could give me a trace how to use reference type of data element.
More details i'm going to reach is:
I create 2 tables:
eq.
1. table ZFIRST has field X with data element ZFX (Data element i declared).
2. table ZSECOND has field Y.
Here at field Y (second table) I'm going to declare a new data element say it ZFY, but in ZFY I'm going to use the data element as i declared before (ZFX). Is it possible if I do it using reference type data element (SE11)?
I already did this way, but I got error :
Field Y: Reference ZFX to class w/o interface cannot be used in DB table ZSECOND
What does it mean?. Did I miss something about using reference data element type?.
This error occurs when I activate ZSECOND table. However in creating ZFY (reference) to data element ZFX, there is no error occur.
The point is I need to RE-declared existing data element and ot put existing data element(ZFX) to my current table (ZSECOND).
Any helpful will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Field Y: Reference ZFX to class w/o interface cannot be used in DB table ZSECOND
What does it mean?. Did I miss something about using reference data element type?.
Apparently system doesn't allow you to type a transparent table field with deep type. This refers to references and tables types as components. The RDBMS (Relational DB Management System) cannot interpret this componenets correclty and mapp them to TABLEs in DB.
So I am affraid you won't be able to type table component with reference to other data element.
The point is I need to RE-declared existing data element and ot put existing data element(ZFX) to my current table (ZSECOND).
Sorry but I don't get it, could you please explain this more clearly. Maybe then we can think of some workaround for you.

Business Object Data Services (BODI) without SAP MDM?

Hi,
From an architectural point of view; do you always have to use SAP MDM when you want to use the Business Object Data Services (e.g. for data validity checks when creating customers)?
Or can you use Business Object Data Services in combination with SAP ECC without MDM?
Best regards,
Marius

All Depends on your business needs.
1) As in if you want to use most effective cleansing (BODS contains inbult infor for Adderess cleansing) along with some data governance(Validation, assignments,MDM Workflow) I would say fo with BO-MDM Integration.
2) Here I am not sure via BODS - ECC you can handle ongoing maintainance , it is supreb for first time data load.
so it is better if you use ECC-BO-MDM ---> BI/ECC for smooth transition through out landscape.
3) Here also try to check the data structure compactiblity between BODS and ECC as per their version, it can also create a big impact.
Hope these points can clear many doubts

How to Use SOAPArray to Exchanged Data with a Web Service

The method of a prototype Web service I created is defined to take many parameters
and return an object of a user defined class. Furthermore, the user defined class
includes data elements of another user defined class and the Java ArrayList class.
This works with a Java client referencing the WebLogic created client.jar file
but I don't know how well it will work with a non-Java client. In particular,
with Perl which is the language that will be used by the developer who first will
test with the prototype.
In posts to this newsgroup use of "language-specific, generic containers" has
been discouraged and the "language-agnostic" SOAPArray recommended. I have searched
this newgsroup and the Web for examples of how to use a SOAPArray in a Web service
EJB to receive parameters and return results but found none.
Will someone refer me to an example or give an overview of how a Java Web service
EJB running in WebLogic 6.1 would use SOAPArray to get parameter values and return
results?
Also, I would like confirmation that it is best to use SOAPArray to exchange data
with a Web service to achieve the goal of a service accessible by any language.
Thank you.

Replies in-line:
How are the structures, e.g. gltrans-workType, defined in the Web service?The structure is made up of nested Java Beans, but this does not mean that the
client for your web service has to be written in Java. The WSDL that I sent contains
everything that a .NET-based (or Perl-based, or Python-based, or VB-based, or
C++ based) Web Service Stack needs to correctly create all the data types in the
web services' signature! That's the beauty of XML Schema! It's programming language
independent :-)
In
other words, what definition in Java resulted in the WSDL statements?The WSDL wasn't produced by WLS 6.1, but it (WLS 6.1) can consume it.
What is the signature of method submitGLTransWorkAsJavaBean() in the
Web service?public void submitGLTransWorkAsJavaBean(GlTransactionsCpyType glTransactionsCpyType)
GlTransactionsCpyType is the outer-most Java Bean. WLS 6.1 does not generate
Java Beans for you, but it will use ones that you defined. See the Java Bean tutorial
on the Javasoft sitem for details on how to create a Java Bean.
Was the WSDL generated using the WL tools for creating a Web service?No.
Conclusion:
You asked for someone to provide you with an example of how to use SOAP array
in a WSDL, which is what the attached file contained :-) What you want to do now
is find a tool that can generate Java Bean code from this WSDL (Apache Axis has
a wsdl2java tool that should work), or create the Java Beans yourself. Afterwards,
create a WLS 6.1 Web Service a expose it for a Perl or .NET client.

Sounds like a pretty cool prototype :-)

How to call stored procedure in data services?

Hi, all,
I'm a newbie and am trying to evaluate Flex for our
development environment. We use a lot of Oracle stored packages in
the database to process the business logic. However, I can't seem
to find a good example to call a stored procedure in flex data
services.
Here is a part of my data-management-config.xml:
<destination id="oracle2">
<adapter ref="java-dao" />
<properties>
<use-transactions>true</use-transactions>
<source>flex.data.assemblers.SQLAssembler</source>
<scope>application</scope>
<metadata>
<identity property="GKEY"/>
</metadata>
<network>
<session-timeout>20</session-timeout>
<paging enabled="false" pageSize="10" />
<throttle-inbound policy="ERROR" max-frequency="500"/>
<throttle-outbound policy="REPLACE"
max-frequency="500"/>
</network>
<server>
<database>
<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
<url>jdbc:oracle:thin:xxxxxxxxxxx:1521/racdev</url>
<login-timeout>15</login-timeout>
</database>
<actionscript-class>History</actionscript-class>
<fill>
<name>by_nbr</name>
<sql>select to_char(POSTED,'dd-Mon-yyyy hh:mi:ssAM')
POSTED, GKEY, EQUSE_GKEY,WTASK_ID,VSL_ID,VOY_NBR,STATUS from
equipment_history where eq_nbr = #sNbr# order by posted
desc</sql>
</fill></server>
</properties>
</destination>
How do I call a stored procedure named
pk_equipment_history.get(eq_nbr varchar2, o_resultset out
sys_refcursor) in place of the sql select in the above file? The
o_resultset output parameter will return exactly the same result as
the sql. How do I bind the output parameter?
TIA

How we can configure a bachup Data services Server?

Hello,
"Data services" Production Server :
OS: Windows 2003 Server SP2
Data services: 11.3
Repository: oracle10gr2
We want to prepare a backup server identical to that of production. The Backup Server will be used in case of problems on the production server.
Can you help us to make procedure that build a backup server from production server.
thanks

Hi,
Short answer would be: there is no automatic way to do that.
The amount of work to create this redundancy will depends heavily on your platform and how the Data Services components are deployed u2013 such as Job Server, repository databases, access servers, etc.
If I understood your aim, the intention is not to create a load balance environment, but to 'clone' a deployment and let it in standby in case of issues with the default server. Is that right?
In this case, you still could take advantage of the server group functionality to create a redundant Job Server, for instance. This configuration helps you to create the u2018backup serveru2019 you intent to and, at the same time, leverage the load balance resources available in DS. You will need to replicate the access server, adapters, and ODBC driversu2019 configurations (if applicable) in the other server.
Just as important as the Job Server, a database redundancy for the Locals and Central repositories in your environment should be created, so you can replicate the repository in another machine using your RDBMS native resources, instead of backing it up constantly. Iu2019m not sure though if the repositories databases replication could affects job performance. Itu2019s recommended to double check that.
As for the licensing issues regarding this redundant server, I suggest you talk with your Account Representative.
Hope Iu2019m not flogging a dead horse here.
Regards,
Pedro
PS. You should consider upgrading your software. You can ask your Account Representative for that as well.

How to Connect to UniData from Data Services

Other ETL tools like DataStage has a Unidata connector stage
Is there anything similar in BusinessObjects Data Services ?

There is no separate connectivity available out of the box. However, if there is a JDBC driver available for it then you can use that to connect to it as a SQL technology. Or you can invoke SSAS web services and process the xml output in odi.

Using SMS to Package Data Services Silent Install not creating shortcuts

Hello,
My client has successfully created a package to install DS 3.1 using SMS (Microsoft Packaging) but after the Instalation runs, there is no startup folder created, or shortcuts to kick off any o fthe products. Has anyone run into this issue? How did you resolve it? Thanks! Ken

Hi Ken,
After installing DS XI 3.1 you will have data services available under following path i.e C:\Program Files\Business Objects XI 3.1 \Business Objects Data Services ....'. Also check control panel and see whether you can see the following services
1. Business Objects Data Services
2. Business Objects Address Server.
Sorry i don't have knowledge on SMS.
