Pulling data from a SharePoint 2007 List
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pull data from a column in a SharePoint 2007 list to be able to dyamically generate a reaction in a flash object.
Our designer created a dashboard of thermometers for our projects that use two variables, % complete and status (green, yellow, red, blue).
As the end user, I want to be able to update my project in my SharePoint list and have it so that my updates automatically populate that flash based dashboard. Right now, he's using an XML document that is stored in a folder on our SharePoint site and then simply updating the XML file when there are changes.
It would be ideal to pull this data from the list rather than having to update and then upload the xml document to the SharePoint site - any ideas?
Thanks!
Sharepoint has a rich XML interface accessible via the URL. Just point your XML.load to the List data from this interface.
An example of XML / URL access is here:

Hope that gets you started.

Pulling data from a second sharepoint site that is on a different server
Hi,
I need to pull some news stories located in a list on a separate sharepoint site on a separate server. I will also be filtering the stories pulled using a custom column on the list on the source site. Can anyone tell me what would need to configure
to be able to do this?
thanks,
Sherazad
SherazadHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to pull data from a second SharePoint site that is on a different server.
If the two servers are in the same domain, you can enter the site url in the brower directly.
If the two servers are in the different domains, you need to create a trust between the domains.

Automated process to pull data from a web page without using VS and PS.
Hello,
I'm looking at finding a solution to pull data from an external web page and creating a list. I'm looking for a NON-POWERSHELL AND NON-VISUAL STUDIO solution. I am open to using InfoPath Designer.
There exists a custom, non-SharePoint page built for us which has raw data. We've already created a custom list to match the data and now need to come up with a solution to automatically update the data. In this particular scenario, power shell and visual
studio cannot be used.
Thanks in advance.Why would you cripple yourself and restrict PowerShell at the very least which has perfect functionality for doing exactly that.
I doubt you could use the InfoPath data sources to pull the raw data in, re-map it and save to SharePoint without resorting to some sort of coding within InfoPath.
Please ensure that you mark a question as Answered once you receive a satisfactory response. This helps people in future when searching and helps prevent the same questions being asked multiple times. -
Write to SharePoint 2007 list using Web Services, getting Soap error
Hello! I have never worked with XML or SharePoint's Web Services but am not facing a need to use it. I am attempting to write to my SharePoint 2007 list with the following code and am getting the following error :
Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
Here is my code I copied from Phil on StackOverflow
Dim lists As New BofaListWebReference.Lists() lists.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
Dim listguid As String = "{my list guid}"
'Get Name attribute values (GUIDs) for list and view.
Dim ndListView As System.Xml.XmlNode = lists.GetListAndView(listguid, "")
Dim strListID As String = ndListView.ChildNodes(0).Attributes("Name").Value
Dim strViewID As String = ndListView.ChildNodes(1).Attributes("Name").Value
'Create an XmlDocument object and construct a Batch element and its 'attributes. Empty string as view means use the default view.
Dim doc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
Dim batchElement As System.Xml.XmlElement = doc.CreateElement("Batch") batchElement.SetAttribute("OnError", "Continue") batchElement.SetAttribute("ListVersion", "1") batchElement.SetAttribute("ViewName",
strViewID)
batchElement.InnerXml = "<Method ID='1' Cmd='New'>" + "<Field Name='Title'>test</Field>" Try
lists.UpdateListItems(strListID, batchElement) Label1.Text = "Call Escalated to sharepoint, ok." Catch ex As Exception
Label1.Text = ex.ToString
End Try
Sorry, the pasting of the code didn't work as expected.
Any help on getting me the ability to write to my list will be greatly appreciated.Hi Manzutto,
Not sure if you have attached the whole code in the post.
If so, it contains errors in the Batch Element file, <Method> tab should have </Method> in the end.
batchElement.InnerXml = "<Method ID='1' Cmd='New'>" + "<Field Name='Title'>test</Field></Method>"
And the element in the batch element xml is case sensitive. Please make sure you have the xml file with correct format.

Pulling data from table to a flat file
hi all,
Good day to all,
Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB's. Usage of db link is restricted. The db version is 10.2.0.4.
thanks,
baskar.lIs there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB'sFlat file is adequate only from VARCHAR2, NUMBER, & DATA datatypes.
Other datatypes present a challenge within text file.
A more robust solution is to use export/import to move data between Oracle DBs. -

Thank you for you prompt response. Yes, I have changed the connections variables in my dataservice ( I didn't post real values). You are right, after all I didn't make changes on the gateway.php except to add some tracking points. The one that I changed is the amf.config,ini. The application runs without any error exceptions, but don't populate the datagrid. According with the tracing is stoping just when establishing the connection to the database. Please let me know if you have any other clue. thanks -
SSRS pulls data from ESSBASE cube, data not showing
Dear Experts,
We are connecting SSRS 2012 to Essbase 11.1.3 to pull data from the cube, and having some issues with some members data not showing in the query designer and report, while some have no problem. And we couldn't find a pattern on which members won't show. We are wondering if this is a known issue and if there is a way to solve the problem.
Thanks very much.
GraceHi ,
Check the following:-
1 Check whether you have made the joins properly.
2 Check data at multiprovider level .
3 is data available for reporting in both the cubes

Pull data from a table in HTML format from external URL into a Servlet
How do I pull data from existing website html table into a Servlet?
I will need to pull the data into a servlet. So, the servelet will need to go to the URL and get the data and save them as variables.
I know I will need an array to store the data. I just dont know how to call the URL and have the servelet search the site for the <table> </table>.
I will later use this to save to a database.
Thanks

I'm trying to pull data from an Oracle database using SSIS. When I try to select a few fields from the source table, it returns the following error message:
[OLE DB Source [47]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".
The source columns are a combination of numeric and texts, and I've also tried selecting one of them, which didn't work. I'm using the Oracle client 11.2.0.1, and it works fine with any other data sources I have connected to so far. How can I resolve this
error?Hi H.James,
According to your description, the issue is a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected while pulling data from an Oracle database in SSIS.
Based on the error message, the issue should be you are comparing a number column to a non-number column in a query. Such as the query below (ConfID is a number, Sdate is a date):
where C.ConfID in (select C.Sdate
from Conference_C C
where C.Sdate < '1-July-12')
Besides, a default behavior for the Oracle OleDb Provider that change the NLS Date Format of the session to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS can also cause the issue. For more details about this issue, please refer to the following blog:

How to populate data from dynamic drop down list to the text field
Hi,
I tried to populate data from dynamic drop down list to city field. I would like to concat data from drop down list.When selecting add button to add the item and select item from drop down list, data should be displayed in the text field. However, Please help. I spent alot of time to make it works I am not successful.
Please see the link below.
https://acrobat.com/#d=SCPS0eVi6yz13ENV0cnUdw
Thanks for your help
CindyHi Rosalin,
Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Using ABAP DATA FLOW to pull data from APO tables
I am trying to use an ABAP Data flow to pull data from APO and receive error 150301. I can do a direct table pull and receive no error, but when I try to put it in an ABAP data data flow I get the issue. Any help would be great.
Hi
I know you "closed" this, however someone else might read it so I'll add that when you use an ABAP dataflow, logic can be pushed to ECC - table joins, filters, etc. (Which can be seen in the generated ABAP).

UNIQUE Problem in pulling DATA from DATA base table to internal table
Dear Experts,
I am new to ABAP. I have a very basic question but looks a quite puzzling one to me. Hemnce I am posting it here.
I am facing an unique problem in pulling data from database table and populating that data into internal table for further use.
The data in the database table "Zlt_mita" with fields M1 (Employee Name, Type: Char20) and M2 (Employee Code, Type Char7) are:
Plz refer the screenshot in the attached file:
My Code:
1) When I try to pull data from Dbase table by taking M2 as parameter.
This code is succcessful and I am able to populate data in internal table it_dat.
TYPES: Begin Of ty_DAT,
M1 TYPE Zlt_mita-M1,
M2 TYPE ZLT_mita-M2,
END OF ty_DAT.
DATA: it_dat TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_dat with header line,
wa_dat TYPE ty_dat.
PARAMETERS: p_mitar TYPE Zlt_Mita-M2.
SELECT M1
M2
FROM ZLt_mita
INTO TABLE it_dat
Where M2 = p_mitar.
Loop at it_dat into wa_dat.
WRITE:/2 wa_dat-M1,
10 wa_dat-M2.
ENDLOOP.
2) When I try to pull data from Dbase table by taking M1 as parameter.
This code is NOT succcessful and I am NOT able to populate data in internal table it_dat.
TYPES: Begin Of ty_DAT,
M1 TYPE Zlt_mita-M1,
M2 TYPE ZLT_mita-M2,
END OF ty_DAT.
DATA: it_dat TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_dat with header line,
wa_dat TYPE ty_dat.
PARAMETERS: P_Mita TYPE ZLT_Mita-M1.
SELECT M1
M2
FROM ZLt_mita
INTO TABLE it_dat
Where M1 = P_Mita.
Loop at it_dat into wa_dat.
WRITE:/2 wa_dat-M1,
10 wa_dat-M2.
ENDLOOP.
Why is this happening when both M1 and M2 are Type Character fields.
Looking forward for your replies.
Regards
Chandan KumarHi Chandan ,
Database fetch is case sensitive ,So u need to give exact format in where condition.
Make your parameter and database in same case so that you need not worry about case sensitivity .
Check the lowecase check box in the domain .
Then declare your parameter
PARAMETERS:
P_Mita
TYPE ZLT_Mita-M1 LOWER CASE .
You can do the vice versa also by unchecking lowercase and giving Upper case instead of lower in parameter declartion .
