In creating DATASOURCE in BI 7, "PROPOSAL" tab isn't available. Any reason?

Hi,
In BI 7, while creating a datasource, there should be 5 tabs:
General Info, Extraction, Proposal, Fields, Preview
I typically will use a sample file and BI will propose the fields, etc. without have to type them.
I just realized that the PROPOSAL tab is NOT available.
Can you help figure what is going on?
Thanks

Hi can you please share the solution

UD Datasource Proposal Tab Shows Incorrect Column Names

I created a UD datasource in BW and the "Proposal" tab showed me the correct column names for the table I had selected. A couple of column names were then changed for this table in the source system but they are not showing up in the "Proposal" tab (the old column names are still there). I refreshed and reactivated the source system in BW but it didn't work. Any ideas on how to get the new column names to show up in the "Proposal" tab? Thanks for any help on this.

hi,
check with the following steps you carried out in the ud data source creation.
You are in the DataSource tree in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
       1.      Select the application components in which the DataSource is to be created and choose Create DataSource.
       2.      In the next screen, enter a technical name for the DataSource, select the type of the DataSource and choose Copy.
The DataSource maintenance screen appears.
       3.      Go to the General tab page.
                            a.      Enter descriptions for the DataSource (short, medium, long).
                            b.      If necessary, specify if the DataSource builds an initial non-cumulative and supplies potentially duplicate data records within a request.
       4.      Go to the Extraction tab page.
                            a.      Define the delta method for the DataSource.
                            b.      Specify whether you want the DataSource to support direct access to data.
                            c.      UD Connect does not support real-time data acquisition.
                            d.      The system displays Universal Data Connect (Binary Transfer) as the adapter for the DataSource.
Choose Properties if you want to display the general adapter properties.
                            e.      Select the UD Connect source object.
The connection to the UD Connect source is established. All source objects that are available in the selected UD Connect source can be selected using input help. Source objects can be multi-dimensional storage or relational objects.
       5.      Go to the Proposal tab page.
The system displays the elements of the source object (for JDBC for example fields, or for XMLA and ODBO characteristics and key figures) and creates a mapping proposal for DataSource fields. The mapping proposal is based on the similarity of the names of the source object element and DataSource field and the compatibility of the respective data types.
Note that source object elements can have a maximum of 90 characters. Both upper and lower case are supported.
                            a.      Check the mapping and change the proposed mapping as required. Assign the non-assigned source object elements to free DataSource fields.
You cannot map elements to fields if the types are incompatible. The system produces an error message in this case.
                            b.      Under Copy to Field List, select the fields that you want to transfer to the field list for the DataSource. All fields are selected by default.
       6.      Maintain the Fields tab page.
Here you edit the fields that you transferred to the field list of the DataSource from the Proposal tab page.
                            a.      Under Transfer, specify the decision-relevant DataSource fields that should be available for extraction and transferred to BI.
                            b.      If required, change the values for the key fields of the source.
These fields are generated as a secondary index in the PSA. This is important in ensuring good performance for data transfer process selections, in particular with semantic grouping.
                            c.      If required, change the data type for a field.
                            d.      Specify whether the source provides the data in the internal or external format.
                            e.      If you choose an External Format, ensure that the output length of the field (external length) is correct. Change the entries, as required.
                              f.      If required, specify a conversion routine that converts data from an external format into an internal format.
                            g.      Select the fields for which you want to be able to set selection criteria when you schedule a data request using an InfoPackage. Data for this type of field is transferred in accordance with the selection criteria specified in the InfoPackage.
                            h.      Choose the selection options (such as EQ, BT) that you want to be available for selection in the InfoPackage.
                              i.      Under Field Type, specify whether the data to be selected is language-dependent or time-dependent, as required.
Note
If you did not transfer the field list from a proposal, you can define the fields of the DataSource directly. Choose Insert Row and enter a field name. You can specify InfoObjects in order to define the DataSource fields. Under Template InfoObject, specify InfoObjects for the fields of the DataSource. This allows you to transfer the technical properties of the InfoObjects into the DataSource field.
Entering InfoObjects here does not equate to assigning them to DataSource fields. Assignments are made in the transformation. When you define the transformation, the system proposes the InfoObjects you entered here as InfoObjects that you might want to assign to a field.
       7.      Check, save and activate the DataSource.
       8.      Go to the Preview tab page.
If you select Read Preview Data, the number of data records you specified in your field selection is displayed in a preview.
This function allows you to check whether the data formats and data are correct.
Result
The DataSource is created and added to the DataSource overview for the UD Connect source system in the application component in the Data Warehousing Workbench. When you activate the DataSource, the system generates a PSA table and a transfer program.
You can now create an InfoPackage. You define the selections for the data request in the InfoPackage. The data can be loaded into the entry layer of the BI system, the PSA. Alternatively you can access the data directly if the DataSource allows direct access and you have a VirtualProvider in the definition of the data flow.

Proposal tab not displaying

Hi all,
I am trying to load the data from flat files,while I am creating data source ,I can,t see any proposal tab.what could be the reason?
Please help me.

Hi Hari,
If the Flatfile is in CSV format then in the Extraction Tab Select "Data Format" as CSV, you will then get the proposal tab.
Assign points if this is helpful.

DB connect datasource not showing new fields on proposal tab please help

Hi Experts,
We have a Datasource to a SQL view, we recently added new fields to the view, but they are not showing on the proposal tab, we can preview data (no new fields there either), we verified the connection and everything seems to be just fine but the new fields are nowhere to be found, we even created a new datasource for that view and the new fields are just not showing.
Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks in Advance.

Not even sure if anyone is looking at this anymore - I have a similar issue and haven't solved it using SAP standard - instead I have been using the workaround as follows.
Add the field(s) and details to table RSDSSEGFD Once done here reactivate the datasource.

PROPOSAL Tab missing

Hi Experts,
I am new to BI.
While I am loading flat to Infocube in the process,I have clicked Proposal Tab and entered LOAD EXAMPLE DATA. I got a message that you have no authorization for DataSource DS_LG.
Our Basis people gave authorization to this.
When I have logged in again the PROPOSAL TAB is missing.
What is the possible cause of this .
Can any one explain this how to get the Proposal Tab.
I have even created with another DataSource .But I am unable to get the PROPOSAL TAB.
Help me out folks for further process.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi Sambhu,
I have restarted my computer as well as the server too.
But I didnt get any changes.
So are you sure that I need to Reinstall BW GUI.
What is the GUI which supports it.Right I am using 640 GUI Logon Pad.

Error while creating datasource from view ZBSIS_VIEW

Hi all,
I could not create the datasource on the database table BSIS as it said "Invalid extract structure template BSIS of Datasource". I had suggestions that I should create a view and then create the Datasource on it. So I created the view and tried. But still I am facing an error message while creating datasource from custom Database View ZBSIS_VIEW.
"Invalid extract structure template ZBSIS_VIEW of DataSource"
Can anyone help on this regard.
thanks.

Hi,
Yes. You need a create a view on tables BSIS, BKPF and T001 as the currency/quantity fields in BSIS have reference fields from the other 2 tables.
In BSIS, in the currency/quantity fields tab, you have some ref tables and fields. You would need to include these tables and join in the view. You would also need to include the ref fields like WAERS, HWAE2, HWAE3, etc in the view. Then you would be able to create the datasource.

Step 1. Select InfoSources under Modelling in the left panel. In the right panel, right-click InfoSources and select Create application componentu2026.
Step 2. Enter a name and a description for the application component, and then click to continue. (BW automatically adds a prefix of "Z" to the technical names of application components, unlike the naming system used for other BW objects.If u give the name as AC_DEMO it will be saved as ZAC_DEMO in the system.
Now create infosource
Step 1.Select InfoSources under Modelling in the left panel. Right-click the newly created Application Component , and then select Create InfoSourceu2026.
Step 2. Select the option Master data/texts/hierarchies, and then click to continue.
Step 3. Enter your infoobject name, and then click to continue.
Now you will be asked
Infosource(name) assigned to Appln component(name)?
Click continue
Now go back to workbench and see the Infoobject listed under the Application component name (under Infosource)
Right click the infoobject name and select Assign Datasource
Enter the Infoobject name as Infosource name and the source system name and continue
Now you ll get datasource assignment confirmations for Infosource_ATTR and Infosource_TEXT for master data and text.
Click yes and continue
Now you ll be taken to the Infosource(master data) change screen
Source system name will be given
Below that u need to give the datasource name u2026.._ATTR
Click Activate.

MAT002     COFFEE
MAT003     SUGAR
GIVE YOUR DATA IN THE EXCEL. AND CLICK File Save As CSV(comma delimited) and save to ur system. Give file name as something like infosourcename_ATTR.csv
Now back to the Infosourcechange screen
Source system name will be given
Below that u need to give the datasource name u2026.._TEXT
And activate
Now Click the tab transfer rules
Copy the communication str infoobject names to an excel sheet
GIVE YOUR DATA IN THE EXCEL. AND CLICK File Save As CSV(comma delimited) and save to ur system. Give file name as something like infosourcename_TEXT.csv
Now create Infoobject to load data
Go to Infosourceu2014Appln Componentu2014InfoObju2014SourceSystemu2014rightclick->create Infopackage
Step 2. Select the DataSource Material number (Master data), enter a description for the InfoPackage, and then click to continue.

How can i create datasource on apache server for ADF application?

Hi All,
i my use case i have created simple adf application using ADF BC and want to deploy on Apache server 6.x.
So my question is that how can i create Data Source i have goggling and find two different way to do this.
1. write following line of code on apache server conf/Context.xml file.
<Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource"
               driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
              url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:dst"
              username="jagrandb" password="jagrantest" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
              maxWait="-1"/>
but when i have used this way i got following exception.
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.PoolingDataSource$PoolGuardConnectionWrapper cannot be cast to oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection
check link-
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2564233
2. write following line of code apache conf/Server.xml file
<GlobalNamingResources>
    
    <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
              type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
              description="User database that can be updated and saved"
              factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
              pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
<Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container"
              type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
              description="User database that can be updated and saved"

              maxWait="-1"   />
</GlobalNamingResources>
and add this line in context.xml file inside <context> tag
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/TestDB" name="jdbc/TestDB" type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"/>

Creating Datasource and Extracting from SAP R/3 ECC 6.0

Hello Gurus,
I am very new in BI field, I am learning through notes provided in this Blog.
Curretnly I need to know how we create Datasource at SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 (is there any difference b/t these?)
and how we may extract data from R/3 ECC 6.0 Source System.
Looking for your kind reply
Thanks in Advance
KK

You can use any specific Extractors to Create Data Source in R/3 side.
Let me explain with Generic Extraction
Goto SBIW--> you can see all the extractions here
Generic extractors are of 3 types:
1. Based on table/view
2. Based on Info set Query
3. Based on Function module
If you would like to create a custom table, then goto SE11>Select Table>Click on Create (Now create you own table here & use this table while creating Transaction data)
Goto RS02-->Select Transaction data.
Click on Create
Choose an application component to which the data source is to be assigned
Click on Generic Delta
Specify the Delta-Specific and the type for the field.
Specify a safety interval
Select Data type>Save> Now Data source was generated successfully
After generating the data source , you will find Delta Flag checked.
Please go through the following link for Generic Delta
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/84bf4d68-0601-0010-13b5-b062adbb3e33]
Once you've done with Data Source in R/3 side--> u need to Replicate it to BI
Goto RSA1>source system>Select the Source system in which u've created Data source>R.C select Data Source Overview>Select the Application Component to which Data source is assigned>R.C Select Replicate dataSorce>here you can see your NEW Data source
Hope it helps!

How can I create a second sheet within a tab?

How can I create a second sheet within a tab? I have tried to add another table but it shows up on top of the existing table. I want to have two sheets or tables within one tab so I can further sort and categorize within a section. Is this possible? Thanks for all the help!
-Bridget Altman
Administrative Associate

You can insert a new table on the View Responses Tab with
Insert > Table
You can also insert a new sheet with a new table with
Insert > Sheet
You can drag and drop the table if it does overlap with another table. Just select the table you want to move and drag the top-left corner of the table to move it.
Hope this helps

Make the tab control a control and not an indicator. If you want to write
to it you need to create a local variable.

Error while creating datasource from table MBEWH

Hi all,
I am facing an error message while creating datasource from table MBEWH
"Invalid extract structure template MBEWH of DataSource "; This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field LBKUM refer to a different table.
Can anyone help me that why system is not allowing me to generate generic datasource for table MBEWH to transfer my month wise inventory data.
thanks and regards.

Hi Zakir,
      This was comming for classification data... when ever you want to extract some classification related data then we can't create generic datasources directly.. for that you need to go with CTBW ( tcode ) and   create one datasource...
   so, you need to check that   related table also.. for that MBEWH table..
    ALL THE CLASSIFICATION RELATED DATASOURCES WE CAN'T CREATE DIRECTLY... JUST LIKE AUSP table also.. liek this..
