Infosource Fields with values from multiple Data Sources

Hi Experts,
My question is:
i have to load values of only few fields of 0LIS_11_VAHDR and few fields of 0LIS_11_VAITM into one infocube.
If i just create one infosource with those fields only in communication structure, but then i can assign only one data source at time, how to load values from another datasources at same time?
Can i do it using single infosurce? and if yes any guideline....
Thanks......

My dear, the problem is that even for the first solution (only one infosource) you have to manage two separate dataloads, since linking several datasources to one infosource means only that you can manage a unique communication structure, but different transfer rules/structures and, avove all, two different infopackages !
So, you have anyway to face the automation issue of your dataloading.
My suggestion has been more functional and conceptual than technical (for which I gave the same answer, that is, "you can do it"): you are not loading a master data source (the same object 0MATERIAL) with attributes, texts and hierarchies (and in this case it's obvious that you have to use one infosource); here you want to use the infosource dedicated to the header flow to load item info too (and you will have to use the same and unique update rules).
Again, no problem from a technical point of view, but I guess that someone who will look into your architecture, probably, will have something to say with this kind of choice !!!
Bye,
Roberto

Report Builder Wizard and Parameter Creation with values from other data source e.g. data set or views for non-IT users or Business Analysts

Hi,
"Report Builder is a report authoring environment for business users who prefer to work in the Microsoft Office environment.
You work with one report at a time. You can modify a published report directly from a report server. You can quickly build a report by adding items from the Report Part Gallery provided by report designers from your organization." - As mentioned
on TechNet.
I wonder how a non-technical business analyst can use Report Builder 3 to create ad-hoc reports/analysis with list of parameters based on other data sets.
Do they need to learn TSQL or how to add and link parameter in Report Builder? then How they can add parameter into a report. Not sure what i am missing from whole idea behind Report builder then?
I have SQL Server 2012 STD and Report Builder 3.0 and want to train non-technical users to create reports as per their need without asking to IT department.
Everything seems simple and working except parameters with list of values e.g. Sales year List, Sales Month List, Gender etc. etc.
So how they can configure parameters based on Other data sets?
Workaround in my mind is to create a report with most of columns and add most frequent parameters based on other data sets and then non-technical user modify that report according to their needs but that way its still restricting users to
a set of defined reports?
I want functionality like "Excel Power view parameters" into report builder which is driven from source data and which is only available Excel 2013 onward which most of people don't have yet.
So how to use Report Builder. Any other thoughts or workaround or guide me the purpose of Report Builder, please let me know.
Many thanks and Kind Regards,

Hi Asam,
If we want to create a parameter depend on another dataset, we can additional create or add the dataset, embedded or shared, that has a query that contains query variables. Then use the option that “Get values from a
query” to get available values. For more details, please see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283107.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220464.aspx
As to the Report Builder features, we can refer to the following articles:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213578.aspx

Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

Hi Experts,
Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Ashok,
Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
[ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
The item status - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

Hi all,
Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
Looking forward to ur reply.

Hi
OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

Report from multiple data sources

Hello All,
I have a requirement to create a report based on the data coming from XML file and needs to be joined with the data from SQL query extract.
I did research on this and found this link helpful: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/07/multiple_datasources_i.html
But our data source will be FILE for xml files and can any one please suggest me the how can i define XML file in a data template.
Please guide.
Thanks.

To link more than one universe all of them have to have the same connection.
to solve your issue, i think you need to read more about Business Objects DATA FEDERATOR
which allows you to integrate data and create one virtual data source from different data sources
its really helpfull in your case.
your Option 2 i think is still valid, integrate all the information into BW and create one OLAP universe
good luck

Null Values from a Data Source

This is more of an implementation question than a
troubleshooting question. Also, since I've been unable to find any
documentation on this I was wondering if anyone has come across
this behavior or found a bug with it.
Yesterday I was working on an application to explore some
proof of concept aspects of Flex for an application I'm developing.
I started running into a problem with Flex Data Services throwing
back an 'Unknown Property: "clientaddress1"' error whenever I tried
to update data. It seemed that whenever I tried to update a record
in the database it would thrown the Unknown Property error. I spent
a good chunk of the day trying to figure out what was causing this
and finally gave up and called it a day.
This morning I was reassessing what the problem was and
trying to find the differences between my database and my code and
I stumbled upon the fact that I could add no records and modify
them without a problem, however if I tried to access an existing
record and update it I'd get the Unknown Property error.
I start analyzing the database and found that I'd configured
the database to use null values for empty values and the records
that I created with the database had null values, however, any of
the values inserted from Flex were inserted as blank values. As
matching my action script class as clientaddress1 = ""; So, upon
further testing I fould that Flex was not processing the null
values correctly, so that when it came back and rightly generated a
Conflict Error...and then called AcceptServer() it was unable to
find the clientaddress1 property of the class.
Also, if any of the properties in the database are null it
throws the same error. Basically it seems to have invalidated the
object just because one value was null. So if all of my values from
the DB are set to something and only one field is set to null it's
still throwing the error on the first alphabetical item of the
properties.
I can resolve the problem by not using null values in the
database, but...what sort of effect would this have on someone
working with a large legacy database that extensively uses nulls
for undefined values?
Also, if a Flex guru could explain the reasoning for this
happening I would greatly appreciate it!
Best regards,
Chris Maloney

I realize that I didn't clarify that I am using ColdFusion
for getting the data. This class was generated by the Create CFC
wizard in Flex Builder.
package com.generated

How to load data into an ods from multiple info sources.

hi all...
i am given a task to load data into an ods from 3 infosources ...
can someone plz give me the flow .
thank u in advance..

Hi Hara Pradhan,
You have to create 3 update rules by giving the 3 different infosources while creating each update rule. And u have to create the infopackages under each infosource. with this u can load the data to the same data target from multiple info sources.
Hope it helps!
Assign points if it helps!

How to get one value from multiple duplication for a key figure field

Hi expert,
      I have a infoprovider, with following format:
        employee     hourly_rate   action_type count of action
     there are multiple rows for each employee, I want to create query as follows:
        employee     hourly_rate   action_type count of action
     in which hourly_rate is constant , only retriving one value from multiple rows for one employee, count of action should be summarized.
how to get this hourly_rate.
Many Thanks,

Hi,
put the employee in rows panel -> reaming object put it in free char panel.
suppress the all result rows for the all object except employee .
select the object -> go to query properties -> select display tab -> select result rows -> select suppress.
select the employee -> go to query properties -> select display tab -> select result rows -> select always display. - now it will give employee wise hourly rate summarize data.
Thanks,
Phani.

Bursting with multiple data sources

Hello all,
I am working in a retail environment and we are building reports for the stores. There are several reports and they all receive the same reports. We are using BIP Entreprise with the bursting feature and it works very well.
The problem is that there are too many reports and we would like to combine all reports of the same store within the same PDF. We use the multiple data source feature and was able to concatenate all reports together.
Using this new report and template, we can not make the bursting functionality to work properly: the bursted report do not contain all the required report components.
For example, I have 2 queries A and B each producing reports for 3 stores: 2, 4 and 5. Without bursting, the output is as is:
Query A - Store 2
Query A - Store 4
Query A - Store 5
Query B - Store 2
Query B - Store 4
Query B - Store 5
With bursting into a file using the store number, I get the following:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
+ Store 2 - Query B
+ Store 4 - Query B
+ Store 5 - Query B
I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
+ Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
+ Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
+ Store 5 - Query B
The main question is: can this be done using BI Pub Enterprise? We using version 10.1.3.3.2
If it is, can you provide me with help on how to configure either/or the requests and template to accomplish this task?
I create an SR and Oracle Support does not have an answser and suggested that somebody in the Forum might help.
Thanks in advance,
Minh

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
select distinct store_name from all-stores
select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query
define the datastructure the way you wanted,
the xml will contain something like this
<stores>
<store> </store> - for store 2
<store> </store> - for store 3
<store> </store> - for store 4
<store> </store> - for store 5
<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.

Multiple data sources with UME

Hi,
I want to run several (web) applications on my SAP WebAS. And these applications should have different user stores. That is, one should be a database, one a SAP ABAP System and another should be another ABAP System.
How can I configure the UME correctly?
Do I have to configure different data sources? Or do I have to write my own loginmodules?
And what's the situation if I have WebDynpro Apps? There I cannot use custom loginmodules, can I?
In the SAP Library it says that "UME can be configured to read and write user-related data from and to multiple data sources".
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e5/618a3eacd49076e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Any hints?
Best regards,
Kilian.

Hi Michael, hi John,
All these 3 apps are independent, i.e. they have different users no "overlapping" users. We need for every independent, homogeneous group of users an own user store.
As John stated, we can edit a UME configuration XML file and define multiple data sources in it. However, this is still a server-wide user store.
Is there no way to assign an application to a user store or a UME data source and not have a server-wide user store?
And if not where can I get a description of these "initial namespace-attribute-value triples" mentioned in the SAP Library on User-Based Data Partitioning (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cd/eafc3f8fc2c542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm).
Many thanks,
Kilian

For this requirement, you will need to retrieve all the lists objects you want firstly, then execute the requests one by one to get the value of the Title column using CAML or

Web Analysis : populate the same table with multiple data sources

Hi folks,
I would like to know if it is possible to populate a table with multiple data sources.
For instance, I'd like to create a table with 3 columns : Entity, Customer and AvgCostPerCust.
Entity and Customer come from one Essbase, AvgCostPerCust comes from HFM.
The objective is to get a calculated member which is Customer * AvgCostPerCust.
Any ideas ?
Once again, thanks for your help.

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
select distinct store_name from all-stores
select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query
define the datastructure the way you wanted,
the xml will contain something like this
<stores>
<store> </store> - for store 2
<store> </store> - for store 3
<store> </store> - for store 4
<store> </store> - for store 5
<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.

BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

Hi -
We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
Thanks ;)

Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source

Hi All,
I have a Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source. Is there any way to achive it. Other than Resultant set and bring into Model.
Thanks
SS

You can compare stuff in the EL, but I don't think this is what you need.
You can just use Java code in the backing bean class for all the business logic. You can use DAO classes for database access logic. Finally for displaying you can use the JSF tags such as h:outputText.

Problem with Multiple Data Source Retrieval

Hi,
We are working on a Project that is concerned with JSF and XML parsing. We have successfully parsed the XML and made an object model- Lists out of it to display it using JSF. Additionaly we also want to display some data from the database compare it with the XML data and then display it on the GUI.
So e.g we have an attribute code in the XML structure which is a number. Before displaying it on the GUI we first have to query the database what this number or code actually means i.e its description text . get it and display alongside the other data from the XML. So the question is
1) How to get data from different data sources
2) Compare the data
3) and merge and display into GUI .
And we have to display it with JSF and as far as i know JSF has no comparison mechanism ..??!!
