Newbie Table Data Source Question

Hi,
I have a question about table data sources. I can set them up OK but I can't find the answers I'm looking for in the documentation or online.
With a table data source, the content column is the one that's indexed right? Are the attribute column sindexed as well? If the content column is null, will the attribute columns still be indexed?
Thanks in advance
Mark.

The attribute column is indexed along with the content column. However, the attribute column will not be indexed if the content column is null. That is, empty document is not indexed.
The workaround is to at least fill in a few space characters to the content column.

Newbie XML data source questions

Post Author: tel
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm trying to use the XML data source via http and i'm running into a couple of issues.
First, we have separate environments for development, QA, and production. Each environment will have a seperate URL to retrieve the XML for the report. I would like to use the same report design to access each environment. Is there a way to update the URL in the data source (or replace the data source with one that has the correct URL) without having to re-add the fields to the report design?
The second issue is similar. I can't seem to get Crystal to recognize changes in the XML format (new fields for example) without having to delete and recreate the data source (which automatically removes all the associated fields from the report). Is there a way around this, or again, a way of re-creating the data source without it removing the existing fields in the report?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Where can I find help about setting the data source when connecting to a web service. Since the hostname is hardcoded in the report, it is necessary to update it in the code.

I have specified NUMBER as the data type for my primary key column and it is of type NUMBER in my table DDL. Is that OK or could this be causing the problem?
Dinesh

Dinesh,
Can you provide the following information for creating the table data source:
- Is the table data source based on a table or a view?
- Is the table/view in the local or remote database?
- If the table is in the local database, is the table in the instance owner schema or another schema?
- Do you login to Ultra Search Admin Tool as the instance owner or other users?
- Does the instance owner schema have privileges to read the contents in the table/view?

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!
Michael

BI 7.0 Data Source Question

I have requirement in Funct spec from Tables EKKO , EKPO . The data sources 2lis_02_itm ,2lis_02_scl etc will have these tabels data . But in BI 7.0 there is a data source called 2LIS_06_Inv which provides data from all these data sources.i.e,
The new DataStore object of Invoice Verification (0LIV_DS01) is supplied with data by the new DataSource 2LIS_06_INV, whereas previously the relevant invoice verification data was only supplied by the three DataSources of Purchasing 2LIS_02_HDR (purchasing data (header level)), 2LIS_02_ITM (purchasing data (item level)), and 2LIS_02_SCL (purchasing data (delivery schedule line level)).
Iam already using this elis_06_inv in my other data model for another req. So my question here is instead of wasting time with creating this with 2lis_02_itm /hdr /scl Can I just use the new one that Iam already using for other req.
Thanks

Hi Harish,
You can use the same datasource to load data into different infoproviders. Just create new transformation rules and DTP assigning source as your datasource, for the new infoprovider. In the infopackage, schedule the data transfer to PSA and then execute the DTP to load the data, for the required infoprovider.
Hope this will help resolve your query.

Pivot table data source keeps referring to old file name

Hi,
I am using Excel 2013 on Windows 8
I create a table, and insert a pivot table that use this table as data source
I close the excel and rename the file from "myfile.xlsx" to "newfile.xlsx, and then open it again
When trying to refresh my Pivot Table, I get the following Error:
"We couldn't get the data from 'Table1' in the workbook 'C:\myfile.xlsx' Open this workbook in Excel and try again."
i.e. it is still looking for table using the old file name.
I need to update the file every week, so having to manually go back and change source file name for every pivot is very time consuming and painful for me :-(
Please investigate and advise how to fix this ?

Hi,
Based on my tested in my environment (Window 8.1 & Excel 2013), the error message pop up when a pivot table using an external data source. If you use the table as external data source, pivot table uses OLEDB to connect it, it'll refresh failed after
you changed the file name. It's by design.
Then, we may try the two workaround to avoid it:
1) Keep the data source table and pivot table in the same file.
2) Add the table to a connection, steps:
Click Data tab>Connection> Add> Browse more> Choose the file.
Please try to change in new file in property before you refresh the Pivot table.

Preserving Named Tables as Pivot Table data sources after copying to new workbook (Excel 2010)

Have 2010 Excel Workbook with Named Tables and child Pivot Tables and several other support sheets. I want to make a 'working' file -- with only copies of these Named Tables and Pivot Table
structures, and then I would populate the copied Tables with the 'real data' and crunch the numbers I need in this new working file.
I need to use VBA for this transformation (which I've tried).
Problem -- Upon copying the Named Table [Table1] and Pivot Tables [Pivot11] and [Pivot12] to the new stand-alone file, WORKING.xlsm, the Pivot Tables only recognize the Tables in the source file (I.e. the data source for Pivot11 is C:\...\'SOURCE.xlsm'!Table1),
and not simply Table1 in the new stand-alone file.
Longhand changing of the Data Source for each Pivot Table [Table1] from 'C:\...\SOURCE.xlsm'!Table1 to simply Table1 seems to be disallowed from all angles.
Anyone have clean VBA code that will copy the parent Named Table and its child Pivot Tables to an external .xlsm file without the absolute links back to the original source file ?

Hi Jon,
How do you change the data source?
Base on my test, we can change the data source by using this code below:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").ChangePivotCache ActiveWorkbook. _
PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
"[path]!Table4" _
, Version:=xlPivotTableVersion15)
To copy and paste the Named Table and Pivot Tables, we could use
Range.Copy and
Range.PasteSpecial method.
To check whether the Pivot Tables parent is specify Named Table, we could check
PivotTable.SourceData property.

Standard Purchase Order Data Source question

Hi,
I have read the documentation discussing how to create data definitions. They all say make sure that the code is the short name of the concurrent request. However I noticed when I look at the Standard Purchase Order Data Source's code it has is PO_STANDARD_PO which seems to match the XML Schema PO_STANDARD_PO.xsd how is the concurrent request initiated at runtime?
Thanks,
Mark

If you go to the XML administrator screen and lookup the definition of the XML page and what program it is associated to as a start. From memory, i believe that the Definition of the Print PO concurrent job is where the output is required in order for the PO to be printed in the XML format.

Data-source question

Hi,
I have defined a datasource in data-sources.xml file. If I do not specify the following parameters:
max-connections
min-connections
then what are the default values the OC4J container takes?
Secondly, on what basis are these values defined. I mean to say, what are the factors to be considered in specifying these values.
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Narinder

Hi:
If the date format begins with yyyymmdd, then,
Date Lng should be "CHAR - 8"
Use Date Lng in Transfer Structure.
In this case, it will take the first 8 and ignore the rest.
Then, in Transfer/Update rules you can map both the dates.
This only works if the date starts with yyyymmdd.
ALso assuming you don't need hhmmss.
If not, you have to write ABAP.

Oracle Data Source Question

Can anyone tell me if the communication between a ColdFusion oracle data source and the Oracle database itself is encrypted or clear text by default? I'm assuming it is clear text unless other features, such as Oracle Advanced Security, have been implemented.
If it is data transmission is clear text, are the data source user name and password passed in clear text as well?

I dunno about the authentication info, but I'd say the rest of it would be clear text.
It might pay to have a look at the JDBC spec, or the docs for the driver you're using. That'll have the relevant info.

GRC 10/10.1 User Data Source question

Hi folks, I've been unable to find any document that addresses this so I thought I'd ask.
I've configured GRC 10.1 so that the GRC system is looking at the ECC system and all the scenarios are configured and things are working well. We have a separate LDAP issue, and until that's resolved, the user data sources have been set to the ECC system.
Specifically for Firefighter, we want to create Firefighters in the GRC system and assign them IDs that are configured in the ECC system so that they can get in for Firefighter related access and get their work done. Many of these people are not in the ECC system.
I realized that I have not set up the GRC system as a connector within the GRC connectors configuration. I also did not find any reference to this in any of the documentation that's available out there.
So I wanted to know how do you get the GRC system to become available as a user data source so that in the event a user is not available in the ECC system, and as in our case, LDAP isn't working, the user will still pull up because they exist in the GRC system?
Can I use a connection type of LOCAL in the "Change View "Connection type definition": Overview" Screen?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
If your requirement is to use GRC as a data source, configure it as a SAP connector as you do for other SAP systems (the underlying system of GRC is Netweaver so its SAP as well).
Once the connector is configured, you can use that in your "data sources configuration - user search data source". List all your connectors and the sequence in which the user ID has to be searched for.
For your case.,
1. LDAP connector
2. ECC connector
3. GRC connector
Thanks.

Table data transfer question

Hello,
Hi,
There are 2 tables accounts and rpt_accounts ( Notice that table names are different )
Accounts
id name
1 vishal
2 gufran
3 mazil
Rpt_accounts
id name
1 vishal
2 ibrahim
(Notice that id 2 has different name and there is no id 3)
The question is ---> By using Accounts table, Table Rpt_accounts should be updated at id 2 with the value "gufran" and since there is no id 3,insert values (3, mazil) into the table and id 1 should remain unchanged
This is what i told the developers, when they asked me
whether it can be done using exp/imp
1> I told them that export and import will not work because table names are different and import does not do such things like update for one row and then insert for another...this does not happen
2> They also do not want to truncate Rpt_accounts and then do full import
So they asked me for any options using Sql*Loader...
Any ideas how this could be done
Please if you know any possible solution, let me know
Thanks

Why would you be looking at external tools for this sort of thing? If you're just updating a destination table from a source table, a single MERGE statement would seem sufficient.

XML Data Source Question

Is it possible to use XML with data management? I want to be able to add and delete rows in a data grid which is populated by data from an xml file. Is this possible?

So lastnight the answer I gave was bugging me, then I
realized that there is indeed a way to force the XMLDataSet to use
an XML string or existing XML DOM document. Below is the code that
shows how to do it with the source today.
