Logical column using data source from 2 generations of same hierarchy

Hi experts,
I'm using Essbase as my data source in CEIM physical layer,
and I have a hierarchy called "Entity" which contains different level of companies,
in Generation 2 I have only one member called "group totals" and in Generation 3 are 5 members representing 5 different industries,
I need to use these total 6 members as slider on the top of the view(a Dial),
and the measure I want to show is scaled in rate, which I can't simply sum up those five members in Gen3 to get Gen2 measurement.
I tried to create a logical column using Entity-default(the alias table) as datasource, it worked but was not sorted in outline style.
I tried to sort them using calculate items in selection steps, but calculate items seemed cannot be shown as section or slider.
So I wonder if I can simply create a logical column that sourced from different generations(in this case, my Gen2 and Gen3) of same hierarchy,
is it possible to do such things?
Thanks for reply.

You could try General Database Discussions the main db foum.
What are you using to migrate your database? Why is it being mapped from varchar2(8) to varchar2(32). It sounds like someone/something is intervening here.

How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1

Hi All,
How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1 for ASO cube.Are there any rules and limitations for that.
Do we need to create any data source connection for this purpose. If there please let me know the dteps to create that connection.
Regards

Yes you need to create one DSN connection and you have to use DSN name and login details at the time of building/loading of the outline.
Create DSN
Goto Administrative tools -> DataSources (ODBC) and add the DSN name and specify the Server name of SQL and login details and database.
goto data prep editor and click on File Menu and Click on Open SQL option Next window opens.
There you have to enter the details of the DSN connection and SQL query to build/load.
Thanks,

Data source from Oracle 10g problem

Dear Sir,
We met a problem when we moved on Oracle 10g from Oracle 9i in the loading process. The scenario is that SQL Server as Data Warehouse, SSIS as ETL tool. But the length of string column as data source table in SSIS grows up 4 times when using Oracle 10g. For example, ABC table x varchar2(8) --> x varchar(32) -->x varchar(8) --> x varchar(8) {Oracle 10g SSIS(source) }
This doesn’t influence the loaded result (I did not find any problem until now), but that influence loading performance and we worry about potential problems.
Do you have any idea or have you met the same problem before? Is I need setup some parameters like "code page"
Thanks,
Jacob

Best practice data source from ECC 6.0 for legal consolidation in BPC NW7.5

Hi there,
after scanning every message in this forum for "data source" I wonder if there isn't any standard approach from SAP to extract consolidation data from ECC 6.0. I have to say that my customer is not using New g/l so far and therefore the great guide "how to get balances from ECC 6.0 ..." does not fully work for us.
Coming from the old world of EC-CS there is the first option to go via the GLT3 table. This option requires clever customization and the need to keep both GLT0 and GLT3 in line. Who has experiences regarding maintenance of these tables in a production environment?
We therefore plan to use data source 0FI_GL_4 which contains all line items to the financial documents posted. Does this approach make sense or will it fail because of performance issues?
Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Dierk

Hi Dierk,
Do you have a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor? Normally I would recommend going for the basic 0FI_GL_6 extractor, which provides a much more manageable data volume since it only gives the periodic activity and balances as well as a much smaller selection of characteristics. Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0a/558cabb2e19a4db3097b81bba4fd0e/frameset.htm]
Despite this initial recommendation, every client I've had has eventually had a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor (or the New G/L equivalent - 0FI_GL_14). Most BW systems can handle the output of the line-item extractors without much issue, but you should test using production data and make sure your system sizing takes into account the load.
The major problem you can run into with the line-item extractors is that if your delta somehow gets compromised it can take a very long time (days, sometimes weeks) to reinitialize and this can cause a large load in your ECC and BW system. Also, for the first transport to production, it is important to plan time to initialize the delta.

Error in generating data source from planning area

Hi experts! I have an error while making data source from planning area:
after the screen when i fill in the data source name (Window name: Generate export data source) i have the SYNTAX_ERROR Message:
Syntax error in program /sapapo/cl_im_extract_ex======cp
the main reason: the type /BI0/9A0IVWKNDGD is unknown
what you can suggest to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Dear Andrey Kudriavzev,
The reason is the program is trying to use the datatype '/BI0/9A0IVWKNDGD' which does not exist in the system.
Go SE11 to cross check if it exists. Check dataelement radiobutton -> enter /BI0/9A0IVWKNDGD -> Choose display option. You would need to create this datatype in the system. I feel there must some OSS Note related to this.
Search for an OSS Note. Raise one if you cannot find the relevant notes.

Naveen.

Using data source in adf application.

Hi ,
JDev version : 11.1.1.6.0
I am planning to use data source in the application , but there is an issue facing while running with data source.
Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory]

So I used "Weblogic.jar" once and "wlfullclient.jar" . By using one of these jars issue fixed but because of it while loading the application it is throwing the below error .

For this I observed that solution is removing the wlfullcient.jar or weblogic.jar from the libraries. But If I do not use any one of them then data source does not work. Please guide me with your suggestions.

This is configured in your database access layer - if it is using ADF BC then in the Application Module go to the configuration tab and edit the local configuration to see the information about which DB you are accessing.

How to use data-sources tag in struts-config.xml

Replication of Data Source from APO to External BI

Hi Experts,
I want to create a data source on DP/SNP planning area & replicate it directly to External BI instead of APO BW. Is it possible to replicate data source from APO to directly External BI? If yes then How?
Regards
Sujay

Hi Sujay,
If you would like to replciate a particular Data source then Go to BW -> TCode RSDS ( Data source Repository)
Data Source = ( specify which you would like to replciate )
Source system = Specify source system name.
Go to Menu option Data Source -> Replicate Data source or you can use CTRL + SHIFT + F2
These steps will replicate only the data source which you would like to replicate.
Thanks,
Siva.

Transporting migrated data sources from BID to BIQ

All,
I have a 3.x data source which I have migrated to 7.x. Now I want to transport this from BI-D to BI-Q. when I replicate the data source in BI-Q this is likely to be 3.x data source. Will it be overwritten when I transport the data source from BI-D to BI-Q. Is there any thing that I will have to do before moving the transport. Please advise

If you transport the DataSource on R3/ECC from development to QA that's connected to your BW QA, and then transport the DataSource from your BW development to QA environment, there is no need to replicate the DataSource. It may, however, come into your BW QA environment in a deactivated state. If that happens, just activate it in the BW QA environment using the SAP delivered ABAP program RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL.

How to load 3.x hierarchy data source from a certain level ?

Hi all,
I have an old 3.x hierarchy data souce which has a structure like below :
　　　Level 0 : root node
              Level 1: Product Category
                  Level 2: Product Line
                      Level 3: Product
                          Level 4 : Product Version
each level has independent infoobject for it.
The hierarchy was initially constructed for the infoobject on the level 4 'Product Version'.
Now here comes anther requriement, we also want to have a hierarchy for 'Product' and try to reuse the datasource.
So the question is , is it possible to extract from the same data source, while just update the hierarchy for 'Product ' starting from the level 3 (up to level 0)?
PS: i can't migrate the data souce to 7.X, because the source system doesn't support.
I hope I made my question clearly.
Really apprericated that you can give me a hint.
Thanks,
Amon

Finally I solved this problem myself.
there are many mays if you want to realize the requirement, only if you change your way of thinking, don't be stuck your mind with the thought we have to use the original data source coming from the source system.
I'd like to introduce 2 ways I am thinking of:
1. use the SAP standard program 'Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD' to save the hierarchy as a .csv file, then you can refer to http://scn.sap.com/community/data-warehousing/bw/blog/2012/01/08/bw-730-hierarchy-loading-becomes-easier-with-the-help-of-new-framework
however this didn't work for me, because the program might be outdated in my working environment BW7.4, though I did some bugfix for this program , the output file seems with some errors.
2. since the hierarchy for the 4th level infoobject has been successfully updated in my case, we can use it as the data provider directly . Here is the general dataflow : 4th level infoobject hierarchy -> DSO -> target infoobject hierarchy (3rd level infoobject) .
for this DSO strucure, you should also refer to the link above, the structure is just like the EXCEL file provided. but you should be aware of adding external characteristics in the data fields of your DSO if there is external characteristics in your hierarchy.
in the transformation of 'source infoobject hierarchy' , you should select 'hierarchy (one segment)' as the subtype of hierarchy.
in the transoformation of 'DSO -> target infoobject' , you should map the source and target carefully , especially for the segment 'Structure' , you should make sure the field 0H_HIERNODE and the external chars. have proper value filled.

Access odbc data sources from PL/SQL

Dear All,
I would like to know is there any way where i could access odbc data sources from pl/sql (i.e i would like to insert, update records into MSAccess table from pl/sql procedures, triggers). Would appreciate any help regarding this.

The only way I know of how is to write and external function library and use that to access ODBC datasource ...if someone else knows something else I would be interesting in hearing about that also.

How to prevent Pivot Table Data Source from being changed automatically?

I have an excel file that contains a Pivot Table that references a table within the workbook (Data Source = "MyTable"). When I save the file and copy it, the copy contains a reference to the original file. Instead of displaying, "MyTable",
it shows "OldFilename!MyTable" where OldFilename is the name of the original file, not the current file.
How do I prevent this from occurring. It is only doing this on my current machine, if I perform these steps on a different machine, the problem does not occur and the Data Source property stays the same as it should.
What setting(s) do I change to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I cannot use data and voice at the same time.

I cannot use data and voice at the same time.
I am on Wifi (connected) and at the same time I am on a voice call. when I switch to my RSS feed reader it does not sync it comes out with a message cannot connect to internet, I thought it is a problem with the feed reader application, IE 10 behaves the same I cannot browse when I am on a voice call.
This is a very basic issue, am I missing something? Please help.
My Model is lumia 820 with the latest portico update.
