Multiple data sources based on a parameter

Hi there!
Is it possible to get data from different data sources based on a parameter?
For example, I have SQL query and parameter pFI that can be equal to 1 or 2.
So if the pFI = 1 then I need to execute this query in DB1 otherwise I need to execute It in DB2.

I do not think its possible to change the datasource on a data model dynamically. However you could create two seperate data models and two seperate layouts using a parameter to distguish between the two when you call the report.

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,

Report model to have multiple data sources

Hi,
We have requirement to develop report model in 2008 having multiple data sources which includes SQL SERVER 2012 and Oracle database so end user can all the relevant data in one place to run in report builder. So please advise how this can be achieved.
One option I can think of pulling all the data into one database through SSIS and then build a smdl on it.
I heard it might be possible to build Tabular cube and then use Report builder on it not sure which is the best option unless any other solution.
Thanks,

There are multiple options
1. If its just for need of a single report then you don't necessarily need to use SSIS and bring all data to single database for that. SSRS supports multiple heterogeneous datasources so you can simply create multiple datasources one fro SQLServer and one
for Oracle. Then you can create datasets based on these datasources and use them inside reports to display the data from the two systems.
One thing to note here is that SSRS provides only limited capability to merge fields from multiple datasets within same container through the use of Lookup, LookupSet etc functions so if you want to do lots of comparison ,manipulation of fields against two
datasources then you need to go for common database approach itself. This involves building a datawarehouse/datamart which will assmeble data from various sources and change them into format which report expects. Then its just a matter of using single
datasource pointing to this common repository for your reports.

Increase performance in a multiple data source report

Post Author: ArturoFromPeru
CA Forum: General
Hi everybody.
I have a big problem, when i make a report that have multiple data sources the performance decrease considerably, i still don't know the reason. Is it true that using multiple data sources is too slow?.
I tell you a fact: I made the report connecting via "Field Definition File", and it take at least 2 minutes to show itself but it only have 170 records, and i'm very sure that the sql statements to each data source were executed very faster.
I even heard about index, but i think they only are useful when i connect directly to the database.
All my partner told me, that Cristal Report
Thanks you in advance

Thanks you, but I explain better what i was doing.
I've made a report called "Kardex de Producto" which show the behavior of the products according to its sales, purchases.
The end result which is showed by the report is correct. I used three data source in the report, so links between each table is correct. The only problem i have is the performance because i still don't know why is too slow. In fact the sql statement is very heavy, but i think it doesn't matter to the report because when it takes the data from the database (connecting via Field Definition File) even if the very heavy sql statement returns twenty record Cristal Report must show itself very quickly. I don't want to believe that Cristal Report is very slow when it works with multiple data sources.
Do you mind if i give you my report? if not please leave me your email address.

Thank you in advance

Report Viewer and Multiple Data Sources

I know that it is possible to create a report in Crystal Reports using multiple data sources. But is it possible to use just the Free Report Viewer to view a report with Multiple Data Sources?
Our company uses Crystal Reports XI. I do not use the program myself, I am in the IT Department. I have limited knowledge of Crystal and do not do any of the report writing.
If this is possible, and if someone could help me out with what would need to be done, or point me in the right direction of a Knowledge Base or Help Topic that explains this, that would be great.
Thanks.

I believe it can but both data sources need to be set up. Ask a report designer to help you use the Designer to test this and see what is required.

Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
Any pointers/links would be appreciated.
Gaff

Hi Vetsrini :
That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.

Error While Activating BI Web service data source based on MDM XI.

Dear experts,
Need help with an error that i am getting for a BI data source based on XI MDM. An extra field was added in the data source as part of business requirement and it works fine in dev environment but when we transported the changes to Q environment it is always giving following error.
The web-service based communication structure in the data source in QA is not getting updated with the new field in the target system.
Any inputs or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Many thanks for your help. This solved the issue for our .NET code, however the leak is still present in the report designer. I was also wondering if you could help further: because of the limits on the java memory process is there a way to ensure that a separate java process is started for each report that is loaded in my report viewers collection? Essentially the desktop application that i have created uses a tab control to display each type report, so each tab goes through the following code when displaying a report and closing a tab:
Is there a way to ensure that a different Java process is kicked off each time that I display a different report? My current code in c# always uses the same Java process so the memory ramps up. The code to load the report and then dispose of the report through closing the tab (and now the Java process) looks like this:
    private void LoadCrystalReport(string FullReportName)
      ReportDocument reportDoc = new ReportDocument();
      reportDoc.Load(FullReportName, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy);
      this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDoc;
    private void DisposeCrystalReportObject()
      if (crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource != null)
        ReportDocument report = (ReportDocument)crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource;
        foreach (Table table in report.Database.Tables)
          table.Dispose();
        report.Database.Dispose();
        report.Close();
        report.Dispose();
        GC.Collect();

Multiple Data Sources In One Logical Table

I am new to OBIEE and I have came accross an issue. I appologize if this information is in the forum somewhere but I have searched and cannot find it.
My situation is that I would like to have one logical table that contains multiple data sources which have all the same columns. I already have session variables setup to differentiate the user's security through a row-wise variable for a specific column and a session variable for another column which determines the user's association to the data source in which they belong to. This security works well when the data sources are seperated in the Business Model and Mapping portion but the issue that arises is that the user's cannot share reports when the data sources are seperated in the BM&M.
I have dragged and dropped a table from the Physical model to the BM&M, I then dragged the second data source (with same meta data structure) over to the "Sources" folder in the first data source table in the BM&M. On the Content tab or each data source table I have defined the WHERE clause as such, where VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") session variable is my row-wise column filter and the VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP") filter is my data source determinative:
sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.HOME_SCHOOL = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
Unfortunatley this only returns values in the BI Answers for the first drag and drop Pysical table in the BM&M layer and not the second Physical table drug into the "Sources" folder. I have also tried to create a new logical table and drag both tables into the "Sources" folder to no avail. I have experimented with the Fragmentation content on the "Content" tab of the seperate logical tables, checking the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level", which gives me an error in BI Answers that a column does not exist which really does.
What could I be missing? Advanced thanks to those who reply.
Thank you,
Kyle

Stijn,
Thank you for the article link. That was very helpful! It seems that I had a few things off as you do need the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level." checked. In my two table source columns for DATA_SOURCE I defined a literal ('086496' and '085597' for the other) in the Column Mapping tab. I pasted the following in the Fragmentation content, checking the "This source..." box on the Content tab:
eSIS.SANDBOX4_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = '086496'
And pasted the following into the WHERE clause, checking "Select distinct values" on the Content tab:
sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.SCHOOL_CODE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
This took care of my user's security, utilizing the session variables in the WHERE clause. I am now able to generate reports that only one user can access from one data source and share that same report with another user who can only see data from the other data source.
Many thanks!!!

Problem with R/3 Data Source based on Function module in SAP BI

Hi,
We have a data source based on functional module. When we load data from R/3 to BI we face the following error.
" No end-confirmation arrived in the Warehouse from the source system."
We are getting data but due to no end confirmation from the source system, the load become timed-out and status becomes "RED". When we change the status to be "GREEN" and proceed tha load further, load is fine.
Please suggest us a suitable solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Geetha

Hi Geetha Devi Ramalingam.
I faced the same problem since yesterday. I just resolve the issue.
So here is my solution :
try this code :
    FETCH NEXT CURSOR s_cursor
               APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS
               OF TABLE e_t_data
               PACKAGE SIZE s_s_if-maxsize.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      CLOSE CURSOR s_cursor.
      RAISE no_more_data.
    ENDIF.
if you add your
bold
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      CLOSE CURSOR s_cursor.
      RAISE no_more_data.
    ENDIF.
bold
than the sy-subrc may be equal and than your CLOSE CURSOR s_cursor. will have no effect
it work for me hope it will for u
Hard luck!

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.

Generic Data source based on Infoset

Hi,
I have a Generic data source based on Infoset. i need hostorical data from this data source, when i extract it is given me only current data. Infoset based on PNPCE logical database, in the Infoset query (ECC6) when i select "All" it gives all data, but when i extract with RSA3 with perticular personal number it just give me 1 record,
Please help me to fix this problem.
Thanks

i think you mean to get data relevant to a date. have you setup the begda/enda as selection parameters in the generic datasource? that would be the only aside from a custom program to first fetch the data and then send it to bi.
with the dates, you can pull it with the relevant date range setup in the infopackage

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.

Single .rar file for multiple data sources

Can we configure multiple data sources into single .rar file? . Currently,
we are creating a seperate .rar file to configure each datasource by
'only' modifing ra.xml file. This is proving to be a tedius operation in
some cases when the application is integrated with multiple data sources.

Siva-
Unfortunately, no. One of the limitations of the resource adapter spec
is that it doesn't provide a means of specifying multiple separate named
configurations, so you can only have a single configuration.
If you need more flexibility, you may want to consider programatically
building up the PersistenceManagerFactory and then binding them into
JNDI.

Multiple data sources to open hub destination ??

Hi,
Is it possible to assign multiple data sources to open hub destination?
At present we are FTP'ing a file to users. Users need one more field added to this file. The information for this field belongs to another ODS. I checked the infospoke but it does not accept multiple data sources.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edited by: BI Quest on Sep 4, 2008 8:12 PM

You can create multiple transformations for open hub destination. Create destination of open hub destination to be file on application server and then use transfer mechanism to transfer files to desired destination.
