Is TDMS only dedicated to SAP data ?

Is there any ways, with TDMS, to gather data from other data sources than SAP ? For instance, can I connect an external database such as Oracle, Microsoft Access,, etc... for scambling data ? And is it also possible to push those scrambled data into another data destination than SAP ?

Well, so fare it seems the case. Any other comment regarding TDMS and its Data Source capbilities?

Creating a Crystal Report from a non-SAP data base

I have the following scenario
server1\myDataBase
server1\SAP\sapDataBases
in sapDataBases I have about 30 company databases. I am trying to create a report, that gets informatino from a table/view/SP from server1\myDataBase, when I try to PREVIEW or SAVE such report on SAP Business One, I always get errors as
I understand that this eerror means taht I can't invoke the data from out of SAP; it needs to be inside SAP (at least the SP, incoking some other data bases and stuff..)
Some bodies have told me that it is beacuase I can only create a report from a table/view/sp that resides in the running/currently SAP company database. Is this right?
Also, If this is the case, this means that If I have an SP taht I use for a crystal report, and 30 companies, I have to create such SP in the 30 companies?
This is my software details:
SQL Server 2012
SAP Business One 9 PL 11
SAP BusinessObjects Crystal Reports 2013 Support Pack 2 version 14.1.2.1121
What I want to do is to create a non-SAP data base to create all the SPs/Views for reports, to centralize it, and the just create one reporte and do the 30-imports in each company database, without the need of creating such sps/views in each company-database. Is this possible?
Thanks

Moved to Integration Kit forum.
The people in this forum will know more about the data structure than the CR Design forum which typically doesn't know much about the SAP Data sources Structure.

SAP data files

Hi
My SAP version is ECC 5.0 with oracle 9.2.0.7 on SOLARIS 10.
My current DB size is 300GB where i have 23 data files on my oracle/<SID>/sapdata1...4
I have implemented MM,FICO,PP,QM modules.My monthly DB growth rate is 30-35 GB.
My Questions
01.Is this growing rate is acceptable.If not how can i find the error.
02.PSAP<SID> table space is the place where my data is written.I have to keep on monitoring the space on this table space and i have to manually extend that once it is filled.Why do i need to do this whwre i have enable "AUTOEXTEND ON" and why it is not automatically extend.
03.Table reqorganization/Index Rebuilding is not giving me any gain and why?
Pls give me your feed back.
With the current growing rate i can go for another 1.5 yrs but after that what should i do..

Hi,
Including the brtools,
>> we are using Oracle 10g on RHEL5.4 64Bit i want to move all my sap data files along with Temp are there any specific notes that i need to follow apart form 868750 and there is no mention of Temp file in this note.
You can move all the datafiles including TEMP tablespace, by the statement, below;
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '<old_full_path>' TO '<new_full_path>';
>> Apart from this i want to know what changes need to be done in the control file for the information of the new file system,so that the database can be started using changed control file having information of the renamed and moved file system.
You will not change anything on control files, manually. It will be updated after you executed the statement, respectfully
>> Are there any oracle parameters or profile parameters that needs to be changed and how much downtime is required.
No you don't need to change any database profile parameter after you move the datafile(s). If you prepare a script and execute it, it will be done in a few seconds. This is because only configuration will be updated. The datafiles will not be created from the scratch.

To open & Edit the XLS file in edit mode after Extracting SAP data into it

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to open and edit the xls file imidiately after downlaoding the SAP data into this XLS file. The XLS file is getting saved on presentation server (e.g. Destop/C: drive).
I have used function module "GUI_DOWNLOAD" OR "DOWNLAOD" to download the data from SAP table to XLS file. But now I need this XLS file to be get opned automatically after finishing the Download, so that user can make changes into XLS file and can save the changes into it. After saving I have to upload this modified Data into SAP table again.
For this I am really not aware how to get it done..but I believe you experts will definately help me out..waiting for your reply.
Thanks,

Altering program files from SAP Data drive to C drive

Dear Forum,
I am trying to alter the 'program files' in SAP Data drive folder that was created during installation to free up some space. In this case the SAP Data drive is the 'E' drive and the 'program files' folder is altered to 'C' drive.
Here are the steps:
1.     stopped SAP, then all SQL services
2.     regedit to look for registry entries pointing to the E:\ drive:
3.     Copied over from E:\ to C:\ drive all non-duplicate folders contained in E:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DW
4.     renamed the registry entries to reflect their new location.
So, for example in the registry 'My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders' the entry 'E:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DW\' is altered to 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DW\'. All entries are altered one by one.
So far the first trial works. Is it secure to do it in this way. Will it be a problem when the SQL needs to be patched, for example?
Please kindly advice.
Regards,
Agoes

With DATA files it´s VERY different. They are pretty isolated seen from an operating system perspective, you can put them anywhere and just point the database to the right path.
However, everything on "C:" must reside there, especially %SYSTEMROOT% and %PROGRAM FILES%. On Unix system you could copy them somwhere, create a soft link and you were done, on Windows, this is possible because depending on the installed software (SAPGUI, Backup software etc.) you will have LOTS of registry entries pointing to "c:program files", including the COM and ActiveX objects (e. g. a SAPGUI registers > 2000 ActiveX objects in the registry).
Since almost no vendor has documentation about which piece of software is installed where and what is put where in the registry the only way of safely relocating something from C: (if C: is your system drive) is to reinstall the OS and do a homogeneous system copy.

Can I save a TDM file without its TDX data?

I have hundreds of data files that have been sorted (by date). In certain cases, I want to analyze subsets of this data in particular groupings. I would like to save these groupings in a TDM file but I don't want to another copy of the bulk data. However, I notice that if I save a TDM, it automatically saves the TDX, and I'm not sure it's possible to save/open a TDM without its same-name TDX file. Does anyone else have a similar need and/or know of a data management method that can suit my need?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hmm... But it seems that the TDMS file simply puts all the information in a single file and, in the end, is almost as big as the TDX file. What I'm trying to do is only save the meta data but not the bulk data, since I already have a copy of the bulk data in another set of TDM/TDX files.
Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Here is a simplified example of what I'm trying to do:
I have several (let's say, 6) original TDM files. Each of these original TDM files have 20 or more channels. I've created a new TDM file, pulling out only 5 of the channels from each of the original TDM files but organizing them into 6 groups corresponding to the original 6 TDM files. From this new TDM file, I've created a TDR file where the plots are based on the 6 channel groupings. Due to this TDR to new TDM association, I think I need to save the new TDM. However, that means I now have a new giant file that contains duplicate data from the original TDM files. I don't want this duplicate data. Being very new to DIAdem, maybe I'm just going about this the wrong way because I haven't figured out the "right way" to accomplish my needs. Can anyone advise?

RDS for SAP data migration through IDOC's

Dear Experts
Just now we have installed BODS 4.1 and RDS also installed now. I am in the process of exploring the RDS. I found all the migration objects is available in the form of IDOC's. Now my questions are
How to work on custom IDOC's. Do i need to extensively code on R/3 side to upload the custom fields. Like user exit or BADI for custom fileds
If yes then i would say implementation time through RDS will remain more or less same time.
Through BODS or by RDS migration objects is there any way without coding on ABAP R/3 side, Can we achieve migrating custom fields
Please let me how to achieve above requirements by RDS
Thanks
Vijay Mukunthan

Hi Vijay,
You are right, the standard content of the Rapid Data Migration RDS packages brings the content with the standard IDoc interface for SAP standard only. So custom objects are not pre-built with the package. However, we incorporated the foundation to include custom coding as easy as possible:
1) IDoc
We are using the standard interface technology IDoc. IDocs do have an enhancement concept which is described in the online help. There are three main cases and all of them are supported, however two need additional coding:
Z-fields: Additional fields in existing tables lead to IDoc segment extensions
With the IDoc segment versioning concept this is easy to realize without any ABAP coding
Z-tables: Additional IDoc segments will be necessary and lead to a new IDoc version
With the IDoc versioning concept you can easily add Z-segments with leveraging provided user exits
Custom business objects:
You can even create a complete own IDoc message type in Z-namespace for own stuff, leveraging the given ALE layer of the IDoc middleware
2) Enhancement guide
With the RDS package we offer an enhancement guide which helps you to modify the jobs and data flows in the SAP Data Services content according to the changes in the target IDoc structure to reflect additional fields and tables. We built it as a step-by-step guide following for a sample IDoc type but will work similarly for any IDoc.
Best regards,
Frank Densborn.

Oracle BI Apps with SAP data sources

What is the delivered content provided by Oracle BI Apps to map with SAP data sources?
Thank you!

As things stand right now SAP R3 is only supported on a much older release of BI Apps (7.8.4). That release used the Informatica SAP PowerConnect technology to populate the Warehouse.
I posted before on this forum the list of supported SAP Modules.
BI Apps cannot use SAP BW. BW can be a direct data source for BI EE however.
In the near future our support for SAP will be up to date and back on track. There are internal efforts underway that I cannot discuss here in the forum.

XML generation with SAP data using XML schema - Reg

Hello experts,
My requirement is , SAP( ztable data ) data has to be transferred to third party software folder.Third party using XML so they requires output from SAP in XML format.
For that third party software guys told me that they will give their own XML schema to me.I have to generate XML file with SAP data using their XML schema.
Generating XML file with their Schema should be underlined.
I studied that call transformation statement helps for this.
Even then i don't have clear idea about this topic.
Please brief me about how to use their XML schema to generate XML with my own sap data.
Thanks in advance experts.

Can any body guide me what exactly there in SAP Data Center

SAP Data Center

My thoughts on IFRS and how technology can be influenced to address the compliance.
The whole topic starts from the basic need of presenting financial statements to compliance authorities like SEC. In the US context, these statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. This is more a rule based compared to a principle based IFRS. The requirement in the near future would be to prepare financial statements based on IFRS. There are several areas where IFRS differs from US GAAP. First we need to know all these differences that impact a public organization. Only upon ascertaining the differing areas, can an organization address preparing financial statements per IFRS.
So, typically, there would be an overlapping period when financial statement need to be prepared per both the standards before it becomes mandatory. In order to accommodate these, SAP broadly has to options, either to have a separate ledger or separate accounts. In the separate accounts method in a same single ledger, you can use those accounts that are common for US GAAP and IFRS. Create only those accounts that addresses IFRS specifics. These could be in a different number range and easily identifiable. With ECC6, you have the newGL feature, wherein you can have a leading ledger to address one set of standards and a non leading ledger for the other. Once an organization with the help of their auditors have scrutinized the differences, the decision to adopt could be easier.
The format of IFRS compliant financial statements are available through SAP's starter kit for IFRS. This kit can be integrated over and above the Busienssobjects Planning and Consolidation or Financial Consolidation.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.

Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?

Error (WIS 10901) while creating a webi report against SAP data source

Hi,
While creating a webi report against a universe created using Infocube/Bex query (basically SAP data source) get a error message -
A database error occured. The database error text is: A runtime exception has occured. (License key check failed. Check that you are licensed to access SAP data sources). (WIS 10901).
Any clues whether this is a license issue or something else?
Thanks,
-Purav.

I am having the same problem. I checked and double checked everything, including deleting and recreating the Universe and the Connection. No improvement. On a whim, I deleted the hierarchy from the query on which the Universe was based, and recreated the Universe on the query without the hierarchy. The problem went away.
Now, the question is, why do I get the WIS 10901 error when a hierarchy is present in the query/Universe?

Is TDMS only dedicated to SAP data ?
