OBIEE Apps data element question?

Please any body explain me, how we can find the right data is coming from the source.
Through Informatica in the OBIEE Apps
Thanks in Advance
Praveen

You can install the "data lineage" option, but it needs a lot of effort.
In Informatica, there are system table that gives you information about metadata, so you can find the "link" between a target table/column and source(s) table/column(s).
Then, in OBIEE, you can do the same for the link between presentation column and physical column.
Since physical column in OBIEE are your target column in Informatica, you can do the link between everything.
You have to put that into one big (more more) table, integrate that into OBIEE and create report that, for a presentation table/column, will give you the source table/column. If you work with the catalog manager, you can even do the same with the web catalog.
But Oracle has already simplified the job by giving you RPD and documentation about that.
The first thing to do is to search for "data lineage" in BI Apps. Ask your Oracle contact for more information, they're aware about that because it's a frequent need in BI projects.

Search Help attached to Data Element Question

Hello! Hopefully this is a simple question to answer. I have looked online but cannot find exactly what I need.
We currently have a search help attached to a data element. The search help is a custom search help. It does work so when you are in the screen it will show you options to pick from for that field. However, the field also allows for free-form text so the user can type in whatever and the screen will take it.
Is there a way through the data element or search help to make it so the user is restricted to only what is in the search help and cannot just enter whatever?
Thanks!!

For restricting values You can use the at selection screen event on that field.
The search help field values will be there in a table .
So what ever values are there in the table for that particular field , only those values will come in F4 also ..
If it not maintained then issue an appropriate error message.
at-selection screen on p_field.
selct single field from table into v_value.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
message ""Error message.
Endif.

OBIEE BI Apps data level security involving multiple PeopleSoft Segments

Has anyone implemented OBIEE BI Apps data level security involving multiple PeopleSoft Segments and can provide some tips?
Our PeopleSoft security grants access by 2 segment combinations:
All Segment 3 (Department) and any Segment 6 (Project)
Specific Segment 6
Specific combinations of Segment 3 and Segment 6
In addition, there is a flag to indicate if the user also has access to payroll data. Payroll access is a subset of the general finance access.
We've got a security init blocks running successfully for general finance and payroll access. We've created Data filters on the Segments for general finance access and GL Account for payroll access. We designed dashboards to use Dept and Project from the Segments on the general finance dashboards and pull Dept and Project from GL Account for the payroll dashboards.
The problem is both data filters are being applied to the general finance dashboards since the joins behind the scenes on the general finance dashboards use GL Account.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

How to make BI Info obj Data element in-herit source DE documntn?

Say I am in ECC. I go to SE11, give table name MARA and then doubleclick on the dataelement 'MATNR'. Then I click on documentation. I get a popup with Short text " Material Number" and Definition "Alphanumeric key uniquely identifying the material'.
I am interested in the latter information that is 'Definition' - & in general whatever documentation comes up for data element in ECC.CRM.SCM,SRM.
Now I log into SAP BI. I find that under characteristic 0Material, the data element is /BI0/oimaterial. When I double-click this datamaterial and press the documentation button, the system says 'No documentation'.
My Questions:
1. IS there a switch we could turn on in source ECC/SRM/CRM/SRM so that the data element in SAP BI inherits the original source field data element documentation.
{ I am not too convinced of the argument- that in BI we have info objects in ECC we have fields - since I am talking of data element level information- I would tend to think of this as an oversight of the designers or de-prioritization !!}.
2. Could we have an ABAP workaround? That is, in BI we identify the tables that house the mapping between the source and destination data elementsa and take out this information. Then we extract the dataelement documentation by function DOCU_GET (from eCC) and use the mapping info above to link SAP BI data element with source data element documentation.
WHY do I want to punish myself as above? My use case is, we take out SAP BI Table, field, metadata etc and create a model in a modeling tool and physical implementation in a 3rd party DW database as our own canonical, application-agnostic corporate datawarehouse. I would want the source data element documentation to flow to this last system as well as the modeling tool.

That is, in BI we identify the tables that house the mapping between the source and destination data elementsa and take out this information. Then we extract the dataelement documentation by function DOCU_GET (from eCC) and use the mapping info above to link SAP BI data element with source data element documentation.
1) SAP don't supply this, I would imagine, because R/3 isn't the only possible source of data. I'm currently working on an app that extracts from R/3, an Oracle database and APO. From whence should I take the documentation for my MATERIAL info object? While being able to transfer the documentation of data elements might be very useful for your app, I can't see that generally it would be of interest to clients - I've certainly never heard of such a requirement. So, my opinion at least, it isn't a design flaw.
2) As you've pointed out, you can get the tables that do the mapping, so you know the source data elements, so you can get the documentation. I'm not sure of how to store the documentation, but the obvious candidate for a link between infoobject and dataelement would be master data of an own infoobject. You could wrap DOCU_GET in an RFC (if it isn't RFC enabled), and do a direct call between your 3rd party app and r/3 to get the documentation. For information about the mapping tables, I'd suggest asking that question specifically in one of the BI forums.

Where can I find a list of data elements available in the Cisco AW?

Good afternoon - I am just wondering where can I find a list of data elements available in the Cisco AW?
I am also wondering if anyone has a real-time solution related to agent stats? What I am looking for here is agent 1's running total of today's metric in a real-time report updated everyone 20 seconds or so.
I appreciate any feed back and hopefully I have posted this in the correct community - if not please direct me to where I should have posted my question.
Thank you,

doubtful that apps store their serialnumbers in keychain.. Like "kappy" said : you must keep track of such important stuff on your own. Those unlock/activation numbers for software are like the key to your car. In the case of a app like comiclife it might be only terrible if you loose it and must re-purchase the app, but imagine that would happen to owners of the full adobe cs suite, which is several thousand Dollars ..

Sync iOS Apps to iTunes - Questions on how exactly this works...

I'm going to put my questions up top, but my understanding of the current system is below, and may be relevant to the questions, if you'd like to read through it.
How can I back up / restore a SINGLE app, including its data (e.g. a game save file), to either iTunes or the cloud... or anything else for that matter. Does syncing an app to iTunes serve this purpose?
What IS the purpose of syncing an iOS app to iTunes? Does this sync include the data stored on my iOS device? For example, if I have a game in which I've made progress, is this progress stored on both my iPhone and my Mac once I've synced the app to iTunes?
If data IS synced along with the app, how is this data managed? Say I have two iPhones, both with the same game but different progress in each. If I sync iPhone A with iTunes, then sync iPhone B, will iPhone A's data overwrite iPhone B's? Or are there two versions of this app floating around on my mac?
If data is NOT synced along with the app, why on earth would I want a bunch of huge storage-hogging iOS apps that are identical to what I could download from the App Store taking up GIGABYTES of space on my MacBook's SSD?
And finally, should the answer to question 4 be "there is no reason to store 42GB worth of useless apps on your 256GB SSD alongside your already gigantic iOS device backup files," how would I go about removing these apps stored in iTunes without iTunes trying to delete them from my iOS device every time I want to sync some TV shows or podcasts?
My Understanding So Far:
Of the many things Apple has addressed and improved upon over the years, backing up iOS app data has strangely not been one of them. As I understand it, the only way to back up an app, including its data (e.g. the save data for a game), is to do a FULL backup of the ENTIRE device. The only way to restore an app, including the data that you backed up, is to restore the ENTIRE device, all other apps included, to a previous state.
The driving force behind these questions is that I'd like the option to delete an app from my iPhone when I'm finished with it - but I'd also like the option to re-download it in the future and pick up where I left off. In a perfect world, all these apps would automatically sync through iCloud or GameCenter, or at least have that option to "upload to iCloud" or "restore from iCloud." Even with these apps, I'm not entirely sure where the backed up files exist - somewhere on my iCloud drive separate from my iPhone backup, photos, contacts, etc? Is there a way to see a list of apps that are storing things in my iCloud drive, and even manage this data?
So if I wanted to back up an app's data that does NOT automatically back up to iCloud, it seems my only option would be to install one of the many 3rd party Mac <-> iOS data transfer apps, and copy the contents of the "Documents" folder to a designated directory on my Mac. Then I could delete the app off my iPhone. Say in the future I re-download the app - I'd use the same data transfer app to copy the backed-up data to the re-downloaded app's Documents folder, and we're back in business. The only downside is that if it's been a while and the app has undergone updates, this backed-up data might be corrupt or no longer relevant. Plus, it's kind of a hassle.
When I discovered iTunes was syncing my apps to my Mac, I thought it might be serving as a way to back up my apps, data included, to my computer. Okay, it seemed like a little overkill to sync the whole app along with the data, but when I discovered that you could UPDATE the apps within iTunes, I thought apple had solved the problem of storing backed-up data for out-of-date versions of an app - simply update the app in iTunes, it does what's necessary to your backed-up data, and when you want to put the app back on your iPhone, voila! Your old data's there, AND you've got the most recent version! But apparently this is not at all how iTunes app syncing works.
As I NOW understand it, when iTunes "syncs" an app to your Mac, it includes only the app's core data - the same as if you'd just downloaded it from the App Store, and it does so for EVERYTHING you've purchased, ever, whether or not it's on any of your iOS devices. I can see how this could be convenient if you live on a farm and want to restore an old app to your iPhone without an internet connection, but I don't think it's worth, unexaggerated, a FIFTH of my hard drive. Worse, I can't figure out how to get rid of them.
TL;DR
So, if you're still with me, what is the purpose of iTunes App Sync, and if it's as useless as I think it is, how do I get rid of it for good?

You can upgrade to Snow Leopard and skip over Leopard, and only upgrade to Lion later if wanted/needed. snow Leopard specs/requirements below.

Transfer app data from one laptop to another?

Not quite sure if this is the right place for this question but I'll give it a shot...
I've recently got a new laptop and haven't yet plugged my iPod into it yet as I'm wary about losing all my app data. I've tried searching the internet but I haven't really found anything that helps.
So my question - if you transfer apps and stuff from one laptop to another will all the data stay with it (over home sharing or external harddrive) or will it clear all the data once I connect my ipod? Is it even possible to keep the app data?
Please help, I'm desperate to put more music on my iPod and can't use my old laptop to do it as I can't install the latest iTunes due to lack of memory.
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you follow the method of copying the entire iTunes folder from the old to new computer here, you shouldn't have any problems.

How to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer

Hi,
         Does anyone know how to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer? To make my question clearly, I would like to give you an example. In my application, I set "sample to read" as 10 which means at each loop 10 data samples will be taken into a buffer. Now, what I would like to do is to do some calculations on adjacent data samples in same buffer. I tried to use "shift register" for this, but it seemed to me that it only can deal with the calculation between data from adjacent loops. In other words, it skips 9 data elements and take the 10th one for the calculation.
         Here I also attach my VI showing what I did.
    Thank you very much in advance,
                        Suksun

Hi Suksun,
      I hope you'll forgive me for distilling your code - mainly to understand it better. I tried to duplicate your logic exactly - which required reversing the "derivatives"-array before concatination with the current samples array. As in your code, the last velocity is being paired with the first position. If first velocity is really supposed to be paired with first position, just remove the "Reverse 1D Array" node.
cheers

By backing up the iTunes Library via saving the iTunes folder on an external drive, is it also backing up all iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from your devices?

If I backup my iTunes Library by saving the iTunes folder on an external hard drive using the instructions contained in the link below, will it also back up all my iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from my devices? In other words, will it also create backups for the backups? Thank you.
Back up your iTunes library by copying it to an external drive
Furthermore, when it is time to restore the iTunes folder I copied to my external drive to a new iTunes program on my new computer, how will it merge the information once I plug in my iPad or iPhone to that new laptop to sync? If I did the iTunes library backup a couple months ago and I've added documents/music/pictures on my devices since then, what will happen when I try to sync it with the new laptop now working off of the iTunes library backup from a couple months ago since the information is no longer the same? Which information will dominate and thus be kept? Will it delete the new information/data/pictures/documents/music off of the devices since it is not on the iTunes program when it syncs?
Sorry for so many questions, but they are all related to backing up and restoring iTunes. I am not very tech savvy if you cannot tell

It would be a good idea to look into a bigger hard drive. They are not that expensive any more and can save a lot of headach. This is even more important if you are buying music from the iTunes music store. If you lost those files they are gone.
The point of having it on your PC and iPod is to have a backup. If the iPod fails, or you need to go back to the DVDs and find they are scratched, or just can not be read you have lost days of work converting and organizing all of those songs.
Or the iPod could hard drive could fail and then you will have to try to bring all of those files back from DVDs. You end up with a mess since some songs will probably be on multiple DVDs, have different names ect. Trying to reorganize it all can be a pain.

How to move all app data from one user to another? (One mac)

Hi. I've been having this problem for a while. So recently, I've made a new account for myself, since I was using my mom's user account. I don't want to keep all of my files, emails, and icloud on her user, since it's used by everyone in my family. I use iMail now because hotmail blocked my email because "Someone hacked me" and they kept it locked for all these months, and I can't give enough proof to show it was mine, since I forgot every email I've sent now.
And iMail is pretty cool, adding your own rules and stuff. Except you don't need a password to log in. I just deactivate my iMail via system preferences as a log-out, and then re-activate it as a log-in.
So, back to the question.
How can I move ALL app data from my mom's user account to my new one? Her acount also has pictures of our germany vacation. So not every file.
You see, I game on my mac mostly because steam is really complicated, using internet just to play a game that doesn't need internet and stuff.
And steam doesn't have a lot of casual games.
So I want to move my game data, save files and every little piece of application info that my games have on my mom's account to mine. I've asked this question on Yahoo answers, and all I got was an answer of "File IS data, or datum itself, You are wrong. I cannot give you an answer." -.-
I'm not experienced with terminal either, so I'll need a ton of explanation of how to use it if that's how it can be done. It really really confuses me and I'll just give up.
Thanks in advance.

How to deal with the change of data element?

Hi, experts
My trouble's background is:
A CBO table(ZIEBTCIITM) saves invoice items .
There are three fields relevant to quantity in it.
And they have the corresponding data elements with the same type QUAN,13 characters and 3 decimals.
Now because the quantity is so small,for example 0.00004,that the 3 decimal digit is not suitable.
I want to change the CBO table to adapt my business,so the quantity fields' decimal should be expanded firstly,and there are transction data in the CBO table.
My question is :
1) Is it necessary to backup the CBO table before data element change?
2) What should I do is Only to expand the data elements' decimals?
Anyone can give me suggestion?

Hello Mic
To be on the save side I would suggest to export the table entries to Excel and create a transport request containing the original table and its entries:
R3TR TABL ZIEBTCIITM
R3TR TABU ZIEBTCIITM *
Next you should create your own data element (or search for a suitable standard data element), e.g. ZQUAN13_5 (13 digits, 5 decimals).
Replace the data element of the DB fields with your new data element and activate the DB table.
I expect that nothing will happen to the entries in the DB table except that your quantity fields should have 5 decimals now.

I want to free up pc disk space. Can i delete app data/files from my pc now I use iCloud??

Hi
I have not been able to find a relevant thread, if there is one please direct me.
Sorry if my use of jargon/process is not that clear.
I am using iCloud.
Can I, and how do I, delete app data from my laptop and keep all apps running normally and still on my ipad and ipod as they currently are?
My computer is overflowing and I see iCloud as a chance to clear some hard disk space.
If i delete the apps from my itunes browser on PC then it deletes them from my entire Itunes account. Can I just go into my itunes folder and delete the base application files?
If I remove files/apps and I sync my devices using my pc for music/video/photos etc then will it pick up that the apps and app data is missing from my pc?
Thanks in advance

Im trying to get an answer to this same question. My poor pc is almost out of hard drive space bc of all the iphone backups pre icloud. I want to know if I go into the itunes file on my pc and delete all those files will they still be safe considering they are on icloud now? Its frustrating bc I cant seem to get an answer to this question. Have you come across any information on this issue since posting this question? Thanks so much!
