Run an ABAP program using Data Services/Integrator

Hi,
Its it possible to run an ABAP program from Data serives
There is an aBAP program already created , what it does is to move file from working dir to another directrory
Can i execute the ABAP prgram from Data Integrator. If it;s possible
Any suggestions on how to do it
Thanks

Yes it might be possible.
First of all create a batch file based on the following link ...

Error while calling ABAP program from Data Services

Hi All,
We have a ABAP program which accepts two parameters 1] a date 2] a string of comma separated ARTICLE numbers .
We have used a ABAB transform in ABAP dataflow which refers this ABAP program.
If I pass a string of 6 articles as second parameter the job executes successfully
But if i pass 9 articles as follows
$GV_ITEM_VALUES='3564785,1234789,1234509,1987654,1234567,2345678,3456789,4567890,5456759';
i get the following error
ABAP program syntax error: <Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted>.
The error occurs immediately after ABAP dataflow starts, ie even before the ABAP job gets submitted to ECC
I am using BODS 4.2 . The datatype of $GV_ITEM_VALUES is varchar(1000).
The ABAP program that gets generated by the DS job has the following datatype for this parameter
PARAMETER $PARAM2(1000) TYPE C
Is there a different way to pass string characters to ABAP transform in data services?
I have attached the screen shot of trace log and error
Regards,
Sharayu

Hi Sharayu,
The error your getting is because the literals exceeds more than 72 characters.
It seems that the length of the string is exceeding more than 72 character.
Can you check the following in ECC GUI
Go to Transaction SE38=>Utilities=>Settings=>ABAP Editor=>Editor=> Downwards -Comp.Line Length(72).
The checkbox which defines length 72 must be clicked so the error is coming. Can you uncheck the checkbox and then try passing the parameter $GV_ITEM_VALUES using the BODS job

Running abap programs using the macros

In our DP implementation we have faced several issues in the extraction of the data from the demand planning to one of the legacy system. We have written the ABAP program and would be using the read planning book bapi. I wanted to run the ABAP program using the macro could some one please let me know what is the structure of the macro builder that is used to fire the ABAP program. this is being fired from the macros as some comparison is to be done to run the macro.

Hi,
Some more information on macro function
REPORT_SUBMIT()
REPORT_SUBMIT( 'program_name' ; <'job_name'> ; <'job_number'>; <'newmode'>) causes the specified program to be executed. Use the optional arguments, job name and job number, if you wish the program to run in the background. If you set the argument 'newmode', the results are displayed in a new window.
Hope this will helps you.

Sunitha.

Easy Job Scheduling Using BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE
To schedule a job from within a program using the express method, you need only call the BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE function module.
The express method has the following characteristics:
Simplified job structure: The function module schedules a job that includes only a single job step.
The function module uses default values for most job-processing options. You cannot, for example, specify a target printer as part of the call to the function module. Instead, the job step uses the print defaults of the scheduling user.
Only ABAP reports can be scheduled. You must use the "full-control" method to start external programs.
The range of start-time options is restricted. Event-based scheduling is not supported.
The function module works as follows:
You name the report that is to be scheduled in your call to the function module.
The function module displays a list of variants to the user. The user must select a variant for the report.
You must ensure that the variants required by your users have already been defined.
The user picks either "immediate start" or enters a start date and start time. Optionally, the user can also make the job restart periodically. The job is then scheduled.
Example
You could use the following code to let users schedule report RSTWGZS2 for checking on the status of online documentation:
call function 'BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE'
exporting
title_name = 'Documentation Check' " Displayed as title of
" of scheduling screens
job_name = 'DocuCheck' " Name of background
" processing job
prog_name = 'RSTWGZS2' " Name of ABAP
" report that is to be
" run -- used also to
" select variants
exceptions
no_such_report = 01. " PROG_NAME program
" not found.
call function 'BP_JOBVARIANT_OVERVIEW' " List the jobs that
exporting " have been scheduled
title_name = 'Documentation Check' " Displayed as title
" of overview screen
job_name = 'DokuCheck' " Jobs with this name
" are listed
prog_name = 'RSTWGZS2'
exceptions
no_such_job = 01.

Schema Mapping in Data Service Integrator

Hi,
I'm just examining some schema mapping programs like BizTalk, Altova and IBM Rational Data Architect, and now found Oracle Data Service Integrator which might be a similiar tool. Actually I found out about Data Service Integrator via BeQ AquaLogic, which probably had been some schema mapping tool before Oracle acquired it and now offers it as Data Service Integrator.
My question is, whether Oracle Data Service Integrator is really applicable for schema mapping/matching, such as creating mappings between xml, csv/flat files or database schemas. I already downloaded it and tried it out, but had troubles creating a map. According to a tutorial you create a physical data service if you wanna do something like mapping, but after I did this there was only a "map" with a source schema. There was no way to add a target schema and map it with the source schema.
So can I create mappings in Data Service Integrator or are there other products which would be more convenient (Oracle Warehourse Builder for instance)? If so, does anyone know whether there is a good tutorial how to map simple schemas such as xml files in Oracle Data Service Integrator?
Thank you in advance.

After you create your physical data services, create a logical data service using your target schema as the 'return type'. Then add functions and use the xquery mapper to map your physical data services (csv, database, xml, web service etc) to your target schema. You can also use logical data services as the input to a logical data service.

Extract data from ECC to Oracle using Data Services 4.0

How to extract data from ecc6.0 Business content extractors to oracle using sap bo data services 4.0

Are you trying to use the SAP BW Business Content to extract data out of ECC and load into Oracle tables with Data Services? If that's the case, then you cannot do that. The SAP BW Business Content was developed to only be used in conjunction with SAP BW. When using Data Services to access the extractors in ECC, it has to have an SAP BW InfoPackage associated with it to execute. In this architecture, Data Services is only a pass through from ECC to BW and allows the ability to do some transformations of data prior to loading into the EDW layer (staging tables basically) on SAP BW.
To connect ECC to Oracle, you're going to have to have all of the SAP BusinessObjects supplied Function Modules loaded onto ECC, along with a non-dialog logon account that has the ability to pass dynamic ABAP programs, generate the programs and schedule them. Depending on how you want to process the output, you may also have to have the ability to write to files on the ECC application servers and have an FTP account created on the application servers that can GET flat files and potentially DELETE them (you're going to need to delete periodically, otherwise your jobs will crash when the file space allocation has been consumed).

Err with scheduling an abap program using open dataset

issue: have an abap program which uses "open dataset ... for input ..." to read the file.
- with manual ly running it, receive the following message "dataset_not_open".
- with scheduling it, receive same message
attempting to run an abap program as part of a process chain (ie scheduling a background job) in BI.
the abap performs the following fxns:
1) read a file on the server
2) removes delimiter, renames it
3) rewrites the file onto the server
initially used ws_upload for reading and ws_download for writing the file.
- both fxns worked fine if it is run manually --> but failed as a background (part of process chain)
- note 7925 states can't use ws_upload, download for background jobs
-so switched to "open dataset"
Any suggestions as to why the "open dataset" does not work is greatly appreciated it.
B.A.

Thank you for all responses. here is more info about the err message:
sy-subrc = 8
'invalid argument'
I looked up the invalid argument in note 99155 --> due to "The destination file is no longer available during repeated file access. "   So, the following steps were taken:
- file was regenerated and
- file was placed on the server to be read
have the following code:
OPEN DATASET FILENAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE encoding default
                      MESSAGE D_MSG_TEXT.
also have tried the following:
   OPEN DATASET d1 for input in text mode encoding default.
   open dataset d1 for output in text mode encoding NON-UNICODE..
   open dataset d1 for output in text mode encoding utf-8.
none had worked. system --> status shows no unicode.
THanks again for any suggestions.

Urgent: Calling ABAP Program using JMS

Hi,
I have a scenario where legacy system pass some messages to ABAP Program and this program can handle one message at a time (written in that way).
Now the receiver communication channel is configured to access J2SE adapter. This J2SE adapter stores the message on R/3 system and triggers the ABAP program located in R/3 system.
Now when multiple messages are coming at a time in SAP-XI and processed successfully and handover to J2SE adapter. But J2SE adapter triggers the ABAP program for all messages. And here is the problem. ABAP program is not supporting multi - threading.
my idea is to use JMS adapter...can you guys suggest me how to achieve result and how to configure JMS or any other adapter to call ABAP Program so that only one message will pass to ABAP program at a time.
Regards,
Gourav Khare

Hi,
First find out where your ABAP program the data written.You need to write it into and spool then only you can see it.
Transaction SP01, you can use the FM 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' in your abap program to write to spool.
Thanks,
Ravi

Integrating Analytics model with Data Services/Integrator

We are trying to integrate a regression model (analytics result) in PMML format into the data solution. We are using Data Services and our clients also have Data Services/Data Integrator.
What is the method to apply the analytics model over the complete data solution. We could be flagging or scoring data.
Appreciate all help in this regard.

No offense indended. Neither do I know you in person nor your background, so I thought I better cover all possibilites, even the trivial ones. I am sure you had a similar conversation like the one below with a customer of yours
"My computer is not working!" and after hours you figured the solution: "Turn on your monitor"
The problem I was having was the inconsistant information or how I interpreted it:
Fact1: you see swapping and huge memory consumption
Fact2: The sum of virtual memory of all processes is less than the physical memory, at least does not account for swapping.
Fact3: Hence DI has to have a memory leak.
That didn't make sense to me. And I am still not sure I got your point about the core reason of it and where my understanding was wrong. Was the al_engine still living as a zombie process within Windows? Or did the SQL Server not release the session memory? I have no idea how to tell either one anyway....
In regards to row level locking in the SQL Server database I can possibly give you some background that might help: SQL Server does row level locking until it figures that to be inefficient because of the number of changes and does automatically switch to page level locking. If somebody else or even your own process but different session is touching any row inside that block, you get an error. This has caused us some troubles with DI, e.g. you have a Table Comparison in row-by-row mode. A few rows pass through the TC transform, the SQL Server is switching to page level locking and suddenly the TC cannot read a row anymore. The concept of an insert/update prohibiting a read (!!), a read of a row never touched even, is something we as Oracle DBAs would never dream of initially.
Are you intending to go to the Business Objects User Conference this year? [http://www.myboc.org/?extcmp=salesflash_global_2008_2107]

Using Data Services (AMF) with Android

Hello,
I'm working on Android application which needs to invoke existing AMF service.
I've read the following post:
Creating an Android application that invokes Data Services
...which states that you need flex-messaging-client-android.jar as part of your build to be able to use Data Services.
This took me to the following post:
Create a Data Services application for the Experience Server that returns data
From there I managed to set up Expesience Server and connect to the Packages, but nowhere can I find the "dataservices-sdk-pkg.zip" which is suppose to contain the flex-messaging-client-android.jar. All I can find is "dataservices-pkg.zip" which does not have "flex-messaging-client-android.jar", but has bunch of other JARs. I've also spend reasnoble amount of time seraching through Package Share, but no luck.
I've also Googled and read through all other posts relaetd to this topic and none of them seem to lead to success
So my question is:
when connecting Android application to AMF backend, do we still need to use the "flex-messaging-client-android.jar" or is there a new JAR that has replased this?
If "flex-messaging-client-android.jar" needs to be used, could you help me find it.
Thanks

Found it...
In the Package Share found the following package: es-sdk-pkg
Downleaded that, then saved to local drive, then unzip.
In "es-sdk-pkg" package you can find "dataservices-sdk-pkg" in the following location:
...\jcr_root\etc\packages\adobe\aep\platform\sdk
Unzip "dataservices-sdk-pkg" and the "flex-messaging-client-android.jar" is in the following location:
...\jcr_root\etc\aep\sdks\riaservices\dataservices\4.5.1\android
Hope this helps someone else.

Push Data in SAP Tables using Data Services

Hi
Lets suppose that I have used Data Services 4.0 to pull data from KNA1 table , and loaded into the MDM where data cleansing , enrichment and deduplication has been done, and then MDM writes to a file.
How can Data Services then push the cleansed data back into the SAP table ( KNA1) ? [or it cannot be done due to multiple reasons ]

Extract data from a BW 7.0 cube to a SQL DB using Data Services XI

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to extract data from a BW 7.0 cube to a SQL DB using Data Services XI, the issue is that we can not read text without making "joins" between SID in the fact table and the master data tables. Do you know if it is posible to read text in a natural way?
Best Regards

Thanks Wondewossen,
As you know, the DataStores (Data Services) provide access to:
1.-Tables
2.-Functions
3.-IDOCs
4.-Open Hub Tables
We are trying to extract data using the first one (Tables), not using Open Hub.
