Import and Export users in OBIEE

Hi all,
I am creating a BI product we want to sell to many customers. The BI Server and reports/dashboards will bed the same for all customers, only difference is the USERS which will of course differ from customer to customer. When the product is changed/upgraded and I want to apply this to the customers that bought the product I want to apply the new version to these customers quick and easy. And that is actually how it works now, except for the users that is the main difference for all the customers. Unfortunately there is no way to export and import the users in the BI server which would help a lot.
I looked at the Merge functionality but I think it is not so good. Is there any other way to move/copy users from one RPD to another, any suggestions? Or is there an external tool (or similar) to handle this.

Hi,
Lets say you have your users in an excel spreadsheet, I'd say one option might be to generate the scripts to add these users to the RPD using nQUDMLExec.exe
Heres a sample script for you :
DECLARE USER "NewUser" AS "NewUser" UPGRADE ID 1 FULL NAME {New User} PASSWORD
'D7EDED84BC624A917F5B462A4DCA05CDCE256EEEEEDC97D54A286E822D97C35C7AD5C43AD4F2A09EAC4D07C3A079829F'
PERIODICITY 90 HAS ROLES ( "Administrators", "XMLP_ADMIN" ) DESCRIPTION
{password = welcome1} PRIVILEGES ( READ);
The password is encypted, The example above is welcome1.
You could easily produce the relevant scripts for each user using an excel formula to substitute the user name, assuming all users are OK to start with a std password, although I'd look at maybe generating the correct password per user, I haven't checked but you might be able to provide a simple text string rather than the encrypted value.
Is that an option for you?

Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?
Hearns
Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.

Import and Export in 4.6b

Hi All,
I have a syntax regarding Import and Export statements which are not working in 4.6b. Below is the statement.
IMPORT ID = (Internal Table) FROM DATA BUFFER ( String Variable ).
EXPORT ID = (Internal Table) TO DATA BUFFER ( String Variable ).
What can we have alternate to above statements ?
Actually I need to transfer or export some internal table content to String and Import the same data from string.
I am looking perticularly about buffer only. If not that what can we have alternate to that ?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi
You can try to use Field symbols also, for example
you need to code in the target program.
field-symbols <fs_itab> type standard table.
assign '(PROGRAMNAME)ITAB[]' TO <FS_ITAB>.
example, i did this in user exit
assign '(SAPMV50A)XLIPS[]' to <FS_ITAB>.
if <FS_ITAB> is assigned.
code will continue
make sure program name is in capital letters.

Internal table with Import and Export

Hi All,
Hi all
Please let me know the use of <b>Internal table with Import and Export parameters and SET/GET parameters</b>, on what type of cases we can use these? Plese give me the syntax with some examples.
Please give me detailed analysis on the above.
Regards,
Prabhu

Hi Prabhakar,
There are three types of memories.
1. ABAP MEMORY
2. SAP MEMORY
3. EXTERNAL MEMORY.
1.we will use EXPORT/ IMPORT TO/ FROM MEMORY-ID when we want to transfer between ABAP memory
2. we will use GET PARAMETER ID/ SET PARAMETER ID to transfer between SAP MEMORY
3. we will use EXPORT/IMPORT TO/FROM SHARED BUFFER to transfer between external memory.
ABAP MEMORY : we can say that two reports in the same session will be in ABAP MEMORY
SAP MEMORY: TWO DIFFERENT SESSIONS WILL BE IN SAP MEMORY.
for ex: IF WE CALL TWO DIFFERENT TRANSACTIONS SE38, SE11
then they both are in SAP MEMORY.
EXTERNAL MEMORY: TWO different logons will be in EXTERNAL MEMORY.
<b>Syntax</b>
To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement saves the contents of field <f> under the ID <pid> in the SAP memory. The code <pid> can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under <pid>, this statement overwrites it. If the ID <pid> does not exist, double-click <pid> in the ABAP Editor to create a new parameter object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement fills the value stored under the ID <pid> into the variable <f>. If the system does not find a value for <pid> in the SAP memory, it sets SY-SUBRC to 4, otherwise to 0.
To fill the initial screen of a program using SPA/GPA parameters, you normally only need the SET PARAMETER statement.
The relevant fields must each be linked to an SPA/GPA parameter.
On a selection screen, you link fields to parameters using the MEMORY ID addition in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement. If you specify an SPA/GPA parameter ID when you declare a parameter or selection option, the corresponding input field is linked to that input field.
On a screen, you link fields to parameters in the Screen Painter. When you define the field attributes of an input field, you can enter the name of an SPA/GPA parameter in the Parameter ID field in the screen attributes. The SET parameter and GET parameter checkboxes allow you to specify whether the field should be filled from the corresponding SPA/GPA parameter in the PBO event, and whether the SPA/GPA parameter should be filled with the value from the screen in the PAI event.
When an input field is linked to an SPA/GPA parameter, it is initialized with the current value of the parameter each time the screen is displayed. This is the reason why fields on screens in the R/3 System often already contain values when you call them more than once.
When you call programs, you can use SPA/GPA parameters with no additional programming overhead if, for example, you need to fill obligatory fields on the initial screen of the called program. The system simply transfers the values from the parameters into the input fields of the called program.
However, you can control the contents of the parameters from your program by using the SET PARAMETER statement before the actual program call. This technique is particularly useful if you want to skip the initial screen of the called program and that screen contains obligatory fields.
Reading Data Objects from Memory
To read data objects from ABAP memory into an ABAP program, use the following statement:
Syntax
IMPORT <f1> [TO <g 1>] <f 2> [TO <g 2>] ... FROM MEMORY ID <key>.
This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in memory. If you do not use the TO <g i > option, the data object <f i > in memory is assigned to the data object in the program with the same name. If you do use the option, the data object <f i > is read from memory into the field <g i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.
You do not have to read all of the objects stored under a particular name <key>. You can restrict the number of objects by specifying their names. If the memory does not contain any objects under the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is set to 4. If, on the other hand, there is a data cluster in memory with the name <key>, SY-SUBRC is always 0, regardless of whether it contained the data object <f i >. If the cluster does not contain the data object <f i >, the target field remains unchanged.
Saving Data Objects in Memory
To read data objects from an ABAP program into ABAP memory, use the following statement:
Syntax
EXPORT <f1> [FROM <g 1>] <f 2> [FROM <g 2>] ... TO MEMORY ID <key>.
This statement stores the data objects specified in the list as a cluster in memory. If you do not use the option FROM <f i >, the data object <f i > is saved under its own name. If you use the FROM <g i > option, the data objet <g i > is saved under the name <f i >. The name <key> identifies the cluster in memory. It may be up to 32 characters long.

Import and Export transport requests on Netweaver 2004s Sp11 Sneak Preview

Hi Experts,
I have configured the transportation system <STMS> in order to import and export transport requests on the NSP system. The configuration is working properly as files can be imported and exported out of the C:\sapmnt\trans directory. (configuration distributed by STMS -> Overview -> Systems -> Extras -> Distribute TMS Configuration, Folder SAPMNT shared).
The problem I'm facing with the import of some example transports is given by the hanging import queues. In phase 'Import ABAP Dictionary Objects' I have the following message for almost all objects -> '... was not imported in this step'.
I tried to solve this issue by running SE38->RDDNEWPP with DDIC user to schedule job RDDIMPDP for TP imports. I also made the config in TP_DOMAIN_NSP.PFL with SYSTEM_PF = C:\SAP\NSP\SYS\profile\DEFAULT.PFL.
The error is still in logfile SLOG0732.NSP
ERROR:       The following call returned with exit code 7:
ERROR:         sapevt.exe SAP_TRIGGER_RDDIMPDP -t name=NSP
and logfile dev_evt
ERROR ***: MsSndTypeOnce, rc = -20
ERROR ***: Event raise failed
With the exports there is a similar issue in the EXPORT phase, given the note
0 entries from WDY_APPLICATIONT exported.
Batch process is available (parameter rdisp/wp_no_btc = 1)
Profile has been activated by rz10->utilities->import profile->ofactive servers.
Any ideas what still can be wrong? Does the import export and DDIC activation really work with the sneak preview?
Thanks
Christoph

Hi Peter
First of all thanks for your advice.
I did No. 1. 2. 3. steps.
Step 4. reacts with the folowing error message.
Transport control program tp ended with error code 02008.
Errors: error in transportprofile (param missing, unknown).
My license expires in four days. I tried to extend it via http://www.sap.com/minisap
1. System-ID *
2. Hardware-Schlüssel (HWID) *   ?
3.Systemnummer ?
What is to be entered in 1 and 2.
Where should I look for HWID and Sysnr ?
Thanks a lot again for your help

Confused about import and export formats

I have a load of 8mm video footage that I want to archive before the old camera dies. As a first step I have used my DVD/HDD recorder attached to my TV to save the footage from the camera, do a little bit of editing and then burn onto DVD at the highest quality available. Doing this I can get 60 mins of footage onto each DVD and the quality is a good as the original. I now want to play with a few of these by importing into iMovie 09 so that I can add a few titles and link clips together with a few transitions. Nothing too complicated. Here's where I get a bit lost with all the formats available to me for importing and exporting. What's the best way of doing this? Having read around a bit it looks like conversion to DV is good for getting into iMovie in the first place. To do this I have tried using MPEG Streamclip and it looks OK, but what about all of the settings options DV25, DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, frame blending, downscaling etc etc no idea what any of this means. Then having added a few bits and pieces, what's the best way of saving it again to make sure that I keep the quality as high as possible - DV? Ultimately I'd like to have the edited movies back on DVDs with the footage quality the same as I started with i.e. no compression artefacts. If I save the final version in DV format I could then keep copies to view with Quicktime and then do I just use iDVD or MPEG Streamclip to convert to a format playable on a DVD player. Is there any guide somewhere as to what all of the different formats are for pro.s cons etc. Also confused as to why files get bigger and bigger e.g. a 20min clip on a DVD is about 1.5GB, but when converted to DV becomes almost 5GB. I can understand how compression makes files sizes smaller, but what's happening here??

A Quick Time .mov movie can play on any PC as log as they have the Quicktime player
free http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
To do it, open iMovie, pick you project, then "Share to Media Browser" and pick the "HD" setting. It can take hours/movie depending on their length. Once it is done you can find it inside the iMovie project's file. TO get there, go to Users Folder -> your User name folder -> Movies -> iMovie projects -> and find the project that you made the movie from. Right click on that file (or use the control key as you click on the file) and you will see a menu -> Show Package contents -> Movies and your 720p .mov movie will be in that Movie folder. you can drag it to your desktop and copy it to your external HD or flash drive.

Import and export MDM with the SAP Portal

Hi,
Would you have any clue on how to handle import and export from the SAP portal ?
I need your help because I haven't found any standard iView to perform these functions
The only information i got were some explanations on WebDynpro Java iViews using events to export from the Portal.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
MDM iViews are only meant to perform MDM Data Manager operations but on limited basis. EP-MDM scenario has been designed for end users only which should not allow to perform complex data manager operations and they need not install MDM Clients.
Thats why importing and exporting functionalities are not possible in standard MDM iviews.

Import and Export Universe Restriction Sets

Hello Gurus,
We have a universe which has 100+ Restriction sets. We are in the process of migrating & testing BI4.0. As the developments are still going on in 3.1, Its getting difficult to manage the secuirty(Restriction sets) to deploy in multiple environments.(Restriction sets)
Is there a vb macro or pre-defined SDK to import and export the Universe Restriction sets from 3.1 Universe Designer to 4.0 Designer.
Thanks !!

Why cant use merge them using union/union all if intention is to get them to same sheet? Is it like the metadata is different so that they cant be merged to single sheet?

SQL Server 2012: Import and Export Wizard - Exporting Multiple Result Sets at Once?

I'm working in SQL Server 2012 trying to export some data from our database into an Excel file. My SQL statement has two separate Select statements. They are not joined by a union. When I Execute them inside of SQL Server Management Studio, with Results
set to go to a Grid, I get two result sets back. Two full tables of data.
However, when I use the Import and Export Wizard, the Excel sheet only has the first set of data.
What do I need to do to have it so both result sets show up in the excel file?

Why cant use merge them using union/union all if intention is to get them to same sheet? Is it like the metadata is different so that they cant be merged to single sheet?

How usnig manuplate the Import and export Key word.

How usnig manuplate the Import and export Key word? and
how do the clear of those variable?

HI ,
For IMPORT Keyword :---
To retrieve data from the global memory area, use the IMPORT statement. The most basic form of the IMPORT statement is:
IMPORT <variable> FROM MEMORY.
To give the variable a different name in your program from what it is called in the global memory area, use the TO clause. You must define the local variable name with a DATA statement in your program. The format is:
IMPORT <global var> TO <program var> FROM MEMORY.
As with the EXPORT statement, you can specify multiple variables per statement, and you have the option of specifying which cluster ID you wish to import from.
After each IMPORT statement, SY-SUBRC is set to indicate whether or not the cluster ID you specified exists (but not whether specific variables were imported specifically). SY-SUBRC is zero if the cluster exists.
It is also possible to IMPORT and EXPORT to database tables .
ABAP memory that is used to store exported data is user and transaction specific, so when passing data between programs in this manner you must make sure that transaction boundaries are not crossed. Otherwise the contents of this memory will get destroyed and will not be available to the importing program.
For Export Keyword :---
The EXPORT statement moves data from your program into a global memory area. The most basic form of the EXPORT statement is:
EXPORT <variable> TO MEMORY.
This places the specified variable into a global memory area that another program can later read using the IMPORT statement.
You may specify multiple fields in the same EXPORT statement. For example:
EXPORT KNA1-KUNNR KNA1-BUKRS TO MEMORY.
You can give variables a different name in the global memory area using the FROM clause. For example, the following code exports SY-SUBRC and gives it the name RETVAL in the global memory area:
EXPORT RETVAL FROM SY-SUBRC TO MEMORY.
You can specify a cluster ID when exporting data to memory. You can freely choose the name of the cluster ID, which can be up to 32 characters long. Each cluster ID specifies a particular area in memory. Each time you EXPORT data to the same cluster ID, all data previously written to that ID is erased. For example:
EXPORT SY-SUBRC TO MEMORY ID u2018LJS1u2019.
Hope u understand
Thanks

Data importing and exporting problem between BADI's

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem in importing and exporting the data between badi's.
I am able to import and export the data between DOC CHANGE and DOC CHECK BADI's etc; but now i have a requirement to map a field from SRM to R/3.
Supplier order key field which is added to the basic data section of Shopping Cart should be mapped to the corresponding fields in R/3. I have added the field and when i am trying to map it to R/3 i am facing the probelm.
This Supplier order key field will be coming from ZBBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER badi and i am trying to map it in the Z_BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK Badi; i tried by using the below statement to export a single parameter to PO BACK badi from CATALOG TRANSFER Badi
EXPORT zsupp_ord_key FROM zsupp_ord_key TO MEMORY ID 'Z_SUPP_ORD_KEY'.
which is not working.
IMPORT zsupp_ord_key TO zsupp_ord_key FROM MEMORY ID 'Z_SUPP_ORD_KEY'. in PO BACK BADI.
Can any one please let me know why this is happening?
And i have strange problem in this ...
when a user copies a catalog which is already created then we can not map the field to R/3 PO
and again if he tries to create a cart by selecting "Old carts which are already created" we cant map field for the above two things to happen i think we need a custom coding .....
Thank you
Lokesh.

Hi Lokesh,
BADI implementations have classes for which an instance is created at runtime and hence the import and export memory logic will not work.
Please try to create a function module for these BADI and call them in these BADI's. Then go ahead with the import and export logic. This could help.
I would rather advice, to figure out an option to avoid this memory manipulations.

Hi Experts,
I want the users to have access to import and export objects in the integration builder. How do I do this?

Hi Claes,
I dont think theres any authorization object which you can use. the role i mentioned earlier is mapped with JAVA Groups and actions.
You can login to J2EE Visual admin and do your own research :).
The role i mentioned earlier will help you for sure but along with that role comes lotz of other authorizations.
