Howdy, I have a bit of a question...
in order for a program i'm building to work without a lot of excess calculations, I need to pull a number from another program, its in a field at the top of the screen something like this:

Data from other programs being consolidated

Here is the picture. My corporate office is in Milan Italy and they use Hyperion Schedule to consolidate financial reports from USA, Japan, Canada, Australia and all over Europe.Each country logs into Hyperion and manually inputs loads of pages of financial data. I would like to create a standard format I could create and just have the IS dept in Milan just load a flat file and my finance team is done. What I need to do or what I would like to do is create a flat file from my software that Milan can load into Hyperion Schedule. Is that something that can be done? How?

If the corporate office is using Hyperion Enterprise (formerly HFM), then yes, it is technically possible to do exactly what you describe. In fact, my finance users had to key financial data into Enterprise screens, but now I run some Essbase Report scripts that product flat files which are imported into Enterprise. My finance users just enter adjustments and unusual items now.Of course, just because it's technically possible doesn?t mean that the owners of the Enterprise system will agree to build the mappings, etc., necessary to accomplish this task.

Having total brain fart - pulling data from two differnt tables

Good morning,
I am completely having a blonde moment here.
My main select statement can pull all the data I need from one table however I need to define my result set by date range and the date data is held in another table. I am trying to remember how to write my statement to pull data from two tables in the same database.
I haven't written query in a couple of years and was self taught previously - I need data our report management program cannot produce.
Any help would be fantastic! Thank you :-)

where a.common_column = b.common_column

How to pull data from oracle GL to planning

Hi all
Can one suggest me how to pull data from oracle GL in to hyperion planning(we are using hyperion planning 9.3 with limited licence for analytic services). i guess we can use HAL ..any thing else
any help is appreciable
regards
M.V

Hi
I appreciate for your response. Yep you are exactly right it is data only, but I do have a problem these people have their licence of limited version of Essbase.
Let me give you the information of their licence agreement.
The licence for the hyperion planning- sytem9 programs includes a limited use license for both the hyperion Essbase- system 9 and hyperion Financial reporting - system 9 programs. Such limited use license means that the hyperion Essbase- system 9 and Hyperion financial reporting -system 9 programs may only be used to access data from the Hyperion planning -system 9 program.
Specifically, the hyperion essbase- system 9 program cannot be used to create Essbase cubes that do not contain data used by the Hyperion planning- system 9 program and the Aggregate storage option component of the Hyperion Essbase - system 9 program may not be used.
1) what it(licence agreement) really means - can you install Essbase, if not how can you create dimensions dynamically using planning.
2) Is it possible without Essbase as far as I know its not possible
3) are we going to face any issues with this licence.
4) Is it possibe to pull data with planning
I appreciate if any one resolve this issue

One report to pull data from SQL or DB2

Hi Guys,
First post here. I have scoured the internet using our good friend google for answers and have come up empty. I hope someone can help me here!
Some Info: Crystal XI R2, Visual Studio 2005, Ms SQL Server 2005, DB2, VB.NET
What I am trying to accomplish is using one report to pull data from either SQL 2005 or DB2.
The problem I get is if the report is configured to pull data from SQL 2005, I cannot change it using the code below to pull data from DB2. The SQL Report uses the Microsoft OLEDB Provider. The DB2 report uses the IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDA400 OLEDB provider. When I quickwatch the oCRTable logon information, it seems to retain the other database's info.
Any ideas?
My code:
    Private Sub LoadRpt(ByVal rpt As String)
        Try
            Dim strReport As String
            Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            Dim rpt As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            Dim oCRTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
            Dim oCRConnectionInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo()
            strRptNm = String.Format(".rpt", rpt )
            strReport = String.Format("\{1}", Server.MapPath("Reports"), rpt )
            crReportDocument.Load(rpr)
            '   check to make sure report is loaded; if not, then do nothing
            If crReportDocument.IsLoaded Then
                oCRConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("DataBase")
                oCRConnectionInfo.ServerName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Server")
                oCRConnectionInfo.UserID = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Profile")
                oCRConnectionInfo.Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Password")
                For Each oCRTable In crReportDocument.Database.Tables
                    oCRTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = oCRConnectionInfo
                    oCRTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oCRTable.LogOnInfo)
                    oCRTable.Location = oCRTable.Location
                Next
                For Each rpt In crReportDocument.Subreports()
                    For Each oCRTable In rpt.Database.Tables
                        oCRTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = oCRConnectionInfo
                        oCRTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oCRTable.LogOnInfo)
                        oCRTable.Location = oCRTable.Location
                    Next
                Next
            ... other code ...
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            ... other code ...
        End Try

David,
Your suggestion worked to near perfection. The only problem was that if I configured the datasource locations of the report and sub reports in CR to use the SQL ODBC, the .net program would successfully log in using the DB2 info but had a problem reading the data. If I configured the datasource locations of the report and subreports in CR to use the DB2 ODBC, everything worked! Thanks for the advice.
The force is strong with you.

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.l

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'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.

Hello Jdesko,
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.
Grace

Hi ,
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

Error while pulling data from an Oracle database. ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

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:

Also I would like to get some pointers on instrumentation techniques / patterns.

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.

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).
