Retrieving data from two CRM data sources having same field name.

Hello Experts,
I am extracting data from 0CRM_OPPT_H(Opportunties) and 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 (Activities), in both data sources we have a comman field "DESCRIPTION_UC".which is the field for both Opportunity Description and Activity Description.
In BW "0CRM_DESCR" is the same object which is mapped to both opportunity and Activity descriptions field"DESCRIPTION_UC".
Data is retriving fine in both Infoproviders.
Our Requirement is to populate both above said Activity and Opportunity descriptions in the report, to achive this we need to create a multiprovider and populate the data.Plz help me how to assaign the objects in the multiprovider.
Thanks

Hi,
In Characteristics tab.
u find the identification tab.
Go there and click on both infoproviders corresponding to both info providers.....
One needs to clearly understand that there are different approaches in identification of KFs and Chars in a MP.
KFs, if they are identical by meaning, must be selected from EXACTLY ONE INFOPROVIDER.
CHARs must be selected in EACH INFOPROVIDER involved.
For example, I have a Char COUNTRY in my MP. And in the infoproviders I have Chars such as SENDING COUNTRY, DESTINATION COUNTRY, TRADING COUNTRY, COUNTRY OF GOODS ORIGIN, COUNTRY OF TRANSPORT. I need to identify which country in infoprovider will be treated as a COUNTRY in the MP. And such identification should be set for each Char in MP for each infoprovider.
If there is no data for COUNTRY in one of the providers (or COUNTRY is not properly identified in MP) then data from this infoprovider will come into MP query as NOT ASSIGNED or not come at all.
You can search these forums for something like no data in multiprovider. Youll find a lot of threads concerning this problem. In most cases the reason of this exactly what was said wrong identification of chars in MP or absence of char values in some infoproviders.

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

Retrieve data source connection string from reportserver.dbo.DataSource

I would like to retrieve the connection string (and credentials) for each of my data sources (without having to click on each individual item). The DataSource table has a column called ConnectionString, but the data type is image, which cannot be converted to varchar. Does anyone have any ideas of how to pull this information from the database?
I have tried converting to binary/varbinary, and then converting to varchar, but I get garbage back.
Note: I am currently using SSRS 2005

Hi Jin,
I downloaded your script and was impressed with the information it retrieves, however, it is not formatted very well with the name of each data source being on the same line as the previous data source so I updated the script to create a blank line between
each data source block, and also to include the login credentials used by the data source, and the path for the data source, which is very useful in being able to locate the data source for editing in Report Manager. However, it is not retrieving all data
sources and I don't know why. I know this for a fact because there are data sources defined that are not in the output of this script but I don't know enough about VB to improve the script further, or how the report server is configured to ensure the code
finds the missing data sources.
Here's the updated script.

But as I mentioned it is not picking up all of the data sources and I don't know why. I also don't know why it's so difficult to find all the data sources from within Report Manager. I'm new to SSRS but was told that prior to SQL 2005, this information was
easily available using Management Studio to connect to the report server but now it's buried in the Report Manager and not accessible from one spot. Bad move by Microsoft apparently. You'd think that there would be an easy way to find all of the data sources.
We need to migrate the SQL Servers on which reports are running, but we have tons of reports and, historically, little documentation for them so we need to be able to determine where all the data sources are so we know which to update. This is proving extremely
difficult. Your script helps but is not comprehensive.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Can not retrieve data source status

I have 3 DPS (6.3) running fine with 3 (6.2) DS downstream, running fine as well, on RHAS 4 U4 .
I don't understand why the DPS console always report it can not retrieve the data sources status. I checked the DS access logs, and I see each DPS
default monitoring request (on the "" DN) every 30 seconds, which returns one entry, and no obvious error in any DPS or DS error log .
Any idea ?

Hi,
it looks like a a known problem to me that may appear in the following situation:
In somes cases, the proxy and the DSCC (console) uses different hostnames: For instance, the proxy may be registered to the admin framework as myhost.sun.com and the proxy itself may use only myhost. Operation status is exposed by the proxy as an LDAP entry with dn cn=myhost,.....,cn=monitor. When there is a naming mismatch, the console search for cn=myhost.sun.com,...., cn=monitor and can't find the entry, so the status is unknown.
Don't know if you are in this situation but it might worth checking this.
Hope this helps

Data from two cubes to display in same grid - Actual/planned comparison

Hi All,
I want to show planned and actual data in the same grid. For example,
qty-2011001 qty-2011002 qty-2011012
actual plan actual plan actual plan
Here quantity is shown for fiscal year periods. For each fiscal year period actual and planned quantity should be shown in adjacent columns in bex analyzer. But in my model actual and planned data are in two different cubes. So how can I show in the same grid.
I thought of creating a multiprovider or infoset and by combining them we can pull data from both of them to show in the same grid. But it resulted in errors.
I was wondering if there are any interesting workaround for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Jerry

Hi,
this is a standard requirement and very easy to model. To key figures (actual and plan) are not need.
1. Create a cube for actuals A and one for plan data P. Both contain the same key figure.
2. Create a multiprovider with both cubes and use the default mapping for key figures and characteristics
3. Create an aggregation level on top of the multiprovider with the characteristics and key figures you need
4. Create a query with two restricted key figures, e.g.
Quan actual: restrict by 0INFOPROV = A
Quan plan: restrict by 0INFOPROV = P, make this element input-ready.
Drill-down 0FISCPER on columns.
Thats all.

Calling two different data sources within same transaction

Hi,
I have a method (in an Entity Bean), which I need to use two data sources.
But the system give this error when I try to do it.
An illegal attempt to use multiple resources that have only one-phase capability has occurred within a global transaction.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Best Regards,
Chamal.

I hope you need to use XA Drivers (while create the connection pool it self you need to choose the XA Drivers) for this. else you need to use the userTranscations instead of containers.
Because other database drivers won't support this feature.
Please try any of this. Using XA drivers is costly interms of performace.

How can i update two block that they data source is same table .

i design user interface .
there are tow block ,they datasource is same table but differe field .
when i input a record ,i must input tow block ,then commit . for this .the total record is save in database .
how can i write those code .

Trying to hide your identity?
Why do you have two separate blocks here if there are different fields in each. The feilds in a block can be spread over multiple canvases / windows so layout is not a reason.
If you are in a situation where two blocks are displaying the same record for update them you'll have the potential of data consistancy problems as well.
So explain what you're trying to do with the two separate blocks and maybe we can come up with a better way to implement it.

2 data sources in same chart in Visual Composer

Hoping you can answer a question for me.
Do you know if there is a way in Visual Composer to combine the output of 2 data sources into the same chart or table?
Here is an example of what I am after.
Inside BW, we currently have sales history for the company (i.e. monthly sales numbers). We can use a BW query as data source for this data.
Now we have found some interesting web services that provide 'market' type data,( i.e. some economic indicator) that we'd like to corrolate to these sales. We'd like to also chart the monthly value of this external indicator on same chart. I can use an external web service as a data source for this data. Howveer, VC seems to only allow me to send the output of this service to a separate chart/table. This is not ideal. I'd rather be able to incorprate in same chart.
If this is not possble, can Web Application designer consume web services? If so, I'd be fine with doing whole application with this tool.

Hi Brad,
Technically it is possible to combine to data souces using COMBINE, UNION operators. So the resulting table contains columns of two data souces.
You can use this resluting table to create a chart.
I have not checked this uisng web services. But it should be possible.

Generic data source with float field possible?

Hello,
when creating an generic data source using a view with a float field I get error R8359 (extract structure: You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure .... This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field ... refer to a different table.).
I changed the data element from ATFLV to e.g. FLOAT but it did not help.
SAP hint 335342 deals with this issue, but I just want to use the float number without the unit.
Is this possible or do I need to write a function module?
Best regards
Thomas

Hi,
you could try to add the unit table and field to your view. When saving the datasource in RSO2, you can choose to hide these fields if you don't want them extracted into BW.

Text data source for the field Position(PLANS)

Hi Experts,
I have an infoobject ZPOSITION which i am using in a cube for this i can able to display key values but i want to display text for this ZPOSITION. The source for this field is Position(PLANS) which i have tacken from pa0001 table.
I have an another infoobject 0HRPOSITION for this i have already loaded data using data source 0HRPOSITION_TEXT.
Is there any other text datasources for this field Position(PLANS)?
And
Is it possible to load data from one info object to another info object?
Regards,
Sridhar.K

Hi Sridhar,
Check out in the infotype PA0001 for the check table for this field. In this table you will have the description for the field PLANS (Position).
I request you to catch hold of functional HR team member to know where the text value for the Position (PLANS) is stored. You can get the info from them immeadiatly.
After knowing the table where the text values for Position (PLANS) are stored, you have to create a text datasource using RSO2 transaction and replicate in BW and load data from the R/3 table.
Hope this helps you.

Saravanan.

Data source enhancement - Only technical name is visible

Hi ,
I enhanced a data source and added a Z field in the extract structure. I am able to populate the field, when I check the extractor in RSA3 , I do not see the description but I see only the technical name. Any advise please....

Hi Tanu,
Have you mentioned any data element for the Z field in the extract structure? If not, create a data element for it and give the required field headings in the "Field Label" tab of the data element.
It should work then.

COPA data source - add a field

Hi Experts,
I got answer to the question that I asked for adding ship-to party to COPA data source and in operating concern.
Now, when I go to KEB0 and display datasource, it doesnt show my added field ship-to party as checked.
so, help me understanding
1) how can I apply the change in operating concern to datasource? or make field visible in extract structure
2) if i delete the datasource and re-create it, will my CE1XXXX, CE2XXXX, CE3XXXX, CE4XXXX are cleared or not?
3) I have active delta running on COPA datasource, what are the steps to ensure contnuity of this delta?
4) if i need to fill newly added field in the CE1XXXX, CE2XXXX, CE3XXXX, CE4XXXX tables (historical value for ship-to), how can I achieve this?
5) what steps I need to take care while transporting these changes to prod?
Thanks,
Purvang

HI,
Following steps will help you...
1) use "KEQ3" to activate "KUNWE" characteristics for Ship-to Party
2) Add the field in your data structure in tcode "KEA0".
3) Activate and generate the "Operating concern"
Please revert back if you still need help.

How do I enable opening firefox from two different computers sharing the same home directory without having to delete a lock file (linux).

I just don't want to have to delete a lock file - which has a purpose - in order to use firefox simultaneously from two locations on the network - where the home directory, i.e. .mozilla directory - is located

You need to use two separate profiles if you want to have two Firefox instances open at the same time.

InDesign Data Merge problem with field names

Hi to all.
I am trying to create a sales catalog with data merge. I have product name, description, old price, new price and image. However, when I select my .csv file as data source, InDesign recognizes different fields as one and puts them all together. I tried copying and pasting to new spreadsheet, retyping the info myself, saving as tab delimited and as comma delimited file. To better illustrate, here are exemplary screenshoots:
Please help, I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I'm a regular InDesign user for almost a decade, but I haven't used DataMerge until now, never needed it. I have basic knowledge in Excel, so if I did something wrong there please inform me (do I have to tell it somehow to "split" them into fields?).
Thank you in advance!

I would recommend to test with different export types in Excel like:
Tab-Divided txt files instead of csv or with different decoding.
When you have learned which is working fine, you can select this always in the future.
(There is also a possibility inside InDesign to change the type between tab separated text and CSV. In my experience it depends very much on the Excel version which would work. Microtrash has a bad history in localizing their programs, e.g. here in German, in numbers we write coma instead of a point, a point of a coma, so decided MS to exchange it every where on the Mac version with the outcome, that CSV files are not coma separated but dot separated and are not working on any data base import. So I can only use tab separated files.)
