Possible to retrieve Hyperion data directly into SQL Server?

Currently we retrieve data into Excel spreadsheets and then often import it into SQL Server. It would simplify things if it was possible to call HPVAL from within SQL.
Is anyone doing this?
Any suggestions on where to research this further?
Thx.
Brooks

Hello Amith,
Have a look at the following from the documentation.
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
DataExportRelationalFile ON | OFF;
DataExportRelationalFile ON | OFF
ON—The output text export file is formatted for import to a relational database.
For direct export to a relational database using ODBC:
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "dsnName" "tableName" "userName" "password"
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Philip Hulsebosch.

Best way to migrate SharePoint 2003 data into SQL Server 2008

Hi Experts,
I am planning to migrate data from SharePoint 2003 into SQL Server 2008. After the migration SharePoint site will be deleted in couple of months and then that data will be feed into .Net Front end application
1) What is the best and easy way to do it?
2) Is there any way to automate the migration process? i.e. If a new record gets entered into SharePoint it should be populated into SQL Server 2008.
3) Any other suggestions
Thanks,
John

Dear John,
If it's just a few lists, and you just want to import them "as-is" then it should be possible to do so ... and survive to tell the about it ;-)
Generally speaking, You will need to write a small process (program or script) to read/parse each list and check if the item(s) are in the target table (I assuming that there is a distinct table as target
for each list, and that each list has 'something" you can use to distinct each row), if it's not there, the just add them according to your needs.
Then just rerun the process periodically and it would keep your databases up to date (you could even set ti up to update those records that have changes, but that would delay your process significantly)
What i just described is doable, and not TOO complicated, it could be done i a lot different ways, and with different alternatives of programming/scripting languages. for sure you can do it in any flavor
of .net language, and even powershell.
As I mentioned, this is speaking in general, the actual implementation would depend on your specific needs and the kind of data that you have/need to keep.
Best Regards / Saludos, Marianok

Use Custom Extension Web Item to Retrieve DSO Data Directly

Hi experts,
Is it possible to use Custom Extension Item in BEx WAD to retrieve DSO data directly? The idea is to display master data for a line item (e.g. customer name, id, address etc.) in the header section of a Web Template. If it is possible, how can I implement that?
If not, is there any other possibility to fulfill the requirement?
Thanks in advance.

Hi experts,
any update on this?

How to paste tabbed data directly into FM7 table cells?

<<<<on edit.... changed FM8 to FM7... I have FM7, not FM8>>>
Hello
I'm working on a documentation job that requires a pasting external data into existing table cells in FM7.
I have tried several things but I can't find a way to paste the data directly into the table cells. The source data can be delimited text, or spreadsheet cells. Neither can be pasted into an existing table. The only way I can make this work is to first paste it into FM as text, then convert it to another table, and then copy/paste from that table into the existing one. This is a lot of extra work and it seems there should be a way to paste external data directly across table cells. I also tried "paste special" but that is not an option when I have table cells selected.
Any ideas???
It would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Gary Beckwith

Gary, just had a thought -- I've worked on several projects where I used variables in tables that might work better for you.
Basically the idea is to pre-populate the tables in your chapter with variables in the cells, and then import a minimalist MIF file that only contains the variable definitions for the pre-existing variables. The minimalist MIF file can be made quite easily from a database or from an Excel CSV or TSV export by using various scripting utilities to convert comma-delimited text into the MIF syntax.
I've created chapters that had hundreds of thousands of cells with variables in them, and updating the variables is incredibly quick.
The best way to approach the variable naming is to come up with a convention that is easy to apply, I found .r1c1 etc to be a good starting point (the period so that the variables all sort in the same place in FM, the lower-case letters to make the variable's name as horizontally short as possible.

Is it possible to retrieve the data from maintainance view?

Hi experts,
Am facing one problem.
Is it possible to retrieve the data from Maintainance View ,If yes how?
IF it is not possible then Y?
While am trying to retrieve data from maintainance view it's showing message like
"it is not a database view or table".
Can u pls give me ans.
Thanks&Regards,
Arun.

Hi Arun,
It is not possible to retrieve the data from Maintenance view. Maintenance View is different and Database View is different.
Maintenance view : Maintenance view permits you to maintain the data of an application object together.The data is automatically distributed in the underlying database tables.
A standardized table maintenance transaction is provided (SM30), permitting you to maintain the data from the base tables of a maintenance view together.
In other words, Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.
Database View: Data about an application object is often distributed on several database tables. A database view provides an application-specific view on such distributed data.A database view is automatically created in the underlying database when it is activated.Database views implement an inner join.If the database view only contains a single table, the maintenance status can be used to determine if data records can also be inserted with the view. If the database view contains more than one table, you can only read the data.
Database views should be created if want to select logically connected data from different tables simultaneously. Selection with a database view is generally faster than access to individual tables. When selecting with views, you should also ensure that there are suitable indexes on the tables contained in the view.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.

Have a problem in Numbers with entering data directly into a cell when a table reaches a certain size and special characters are used?

I am creating a list of words with special characters in some of them. I get to a point where I cannot enter data directly into the cell. I have to use the data entry bar at the top in the toolbar. Any solutions available?
This is the table I am creating...
From row 25 on, I am only able to enter data into the cell through the toolbar at the top and not directly into the cell itself. I believe that this problem originates from the special characters I have inserted in the previous records because if I do not use special characters, then the spreadsheet acts flawlessly. Have there been issues in Numbers with data entry, the size of a table, and using special characters?

I would try removing the rows with "special" characters one at a time to see which one is causing the problem

Hi,
int i=stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO TRAVEL_HEADER(TRQID,PROJECTID,REQDT,ADVCE,ETADV,PURTR) values(21, '555-1212', 'date', 5000, '20060501','hi')");
try like this.
I Think in SQL the general format to take date as input like this.
INSERT INTO X VALUES ('10/30/56')

Are you attempting to import into a newly made table or into an existing table? It looks like it's trying to insert data where it cannot be inserted (invalid column or lack of data size in your column).
Try the following:
1). In your excel sheet, highlight the whole sheet and make sure the cells are in 'text' form and try re-importing
2). save the document as ms dos TEXT and import as a text document.
3). double check your columns are correct for the data, for example if you have a column that has a string of 100 characters and your column is 'NvarChar(90)' - that might cause the error? Or just correct data type in your column
3). If that doesn't work and you're inserting into a new table, try importing it as string first and writing a query to insert columns that should be float/integer or whatever. You may want to convert float texts to a 'bigint' first rather than string
> float as that can cause problems if I remember correctly.

Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel

Hi,
We are trying to load several Excel files into SQL Server SSIS and we need to save the data in the database in the same order as it is in Excel..
My question is, Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel. If so, we will add a sequence to ensure we have the order.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhanumjay

Thanks for your response.
If it is one file then we can add an index column, but we have to load hundreds of files.
How adding an index/key column to the table works unless SSIS picks and loads the data in the table in the same order as it is in Excel?
Just to explain my question better,
If excel has three rows {a,b},{c,d},{e,f}, does SSIS ensure it loads the data in the same order in a table.
Thanks.

Write / store xml data in Xe and retrieve stored data using pl/sql

Hi to all,
i'm searching a tutorial on:
A - how to write / store xml data in Xe and retrieve stored data using pl/sql
I don't want to use other technologies, because i use htmldb and my best practice is with pl/sql.
I was reading an ebook (quite old maybe) however it's about oracle 9 and it's talking about xmltype:
1 - I don't understand if this is a user type (clob/varchar) or it's integrated in Oracle 9 however i will read it (it's chapter 3 titled Using Oracle xmldb).
Please dont'reply here: i would be glad if someone can suggest me a good tutorial / pdf to achieve task A in Oracle XE.
Thanx

Thank you very much Carl,
However my fault is that i've not tried to create the table via sql plus.
Infact i was wrong thinking that oracle sql developer allows me to create an xmltype column via the create table tool.
however with a ddl script like the following the table was created successfully.
create table example1
keyvalue varchar2(10) primary key,
xmlcolumn xmltype
Thank you very much for your link.

Pulling data from oracle into sql server 2005

hi,
these days i am working on sql server 2005 on windows server 2008 64 bit.
and oracle 10g on 32 bit unix.
my problem is that when i am pulling data from oracle into sql server it shows me about *500-700 entries less*.
why this is happening? is it because 32 bit to 64bit? or is it because of different os?

Akki,
are you using snapshot or replication from MSSQL? I am doing the same thing, hope to share your experience.
I am using import/export from MGT studio and pull some data from Oracle database, I am working on how to update the changes on these tables pulled from Oracle.
Thanks,
