SAP BI - Data Services connection

Hello
I am trying to set up SAP BI - Data Services connection.
Couple of questions :
1. Where from within the SAP can I get SAP gateway hostname and SAP gateway service name
2. I have a developer right on BW. Is it enough to make connection with my user id?
3. connection to BW is via client security portal. Does it change the approach?
Thanks

Hi,
1. Where from within the SAP can I get SAP gateway hostname and SAP gateway service name
From the sapgui.
2. I have a developer right on BW. Is it enough to make connection with my user id?
Yes
3. connection to BW is via client security portal. Does it change the approach?
What does that means? you need a user and password in BW (ABAP).
As suggested by Andrei, read the wiki. It has all you need to make it work.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Diego

SAP BO Data Services XI 3.2 - Cannot Handle Multithreaded RFC Connection?

Hi Guys,
Just want to ask for your inputs if Data Services cannot handle multiple RFC connection request to BW system?
The scenario is:
There is one BODI job using RFC connection and trigger the 2nd job at the same time and it happen that the 2nd job failed.
Current version of SAP BO Data Services XI 3.2 that we are using is 12.2.2.1
Thanks in advance,
Randell

Arpan,
One way to get to the multiprovider data is to use Open Hub with a DTP that gets the data from the multiprovider and exposes it as an open hub destination to Data Services. With Data Services XI 3.2 we now fully support Open Hub where Data Services will (1) start the process chain to load the data (2) read the data when process chain ended and (3) notify Open Hub when done so that the data can be purged again.
More info on Open Hub here : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1e/c4463c6796e61ce10000000a114084/content.htm
But I will also look into the why we show the multiproviders when browsing the metadata, but get an error when trying to extract using the ABAP method (not via Open Hub). You could be right in your assumptions below and we might just need to hide the multiproviders when browsing metadata.
Thanks,
Ben.
Edited by: Ben Hofmans on Jan 5, 2010 6:06 PM - added link to Open Hub documentation which references multiproviders as possible source.

Connect SAP BO Data Services to Azure Blob Storage

Hi,
I want to connect SAP BO Data service to Azure Blob Storage. Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks,

Hi Anton,
As of now, it is not possible for SAP BO Data Services to connect with Azure Blob Storage. However, you may put down your requirement in Azure Feedback, so that concerned development team can get it done in near future.

SAP BO Data Services - Bits Are One - O - f O hex operator

Hi Gurus,
I need to implement the Bits Are One - 'O' Bit Sequence Comparison opertor in SAP BO Data Services. The equivalent in SAP ABAP would look like:
IF O hex01. ftab-inp = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex02. ftab-req = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex04. ftab-out = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex08. ftab-act = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex16. ftab-int = on. ENDIF.
IF O hex32. ftab-inv = on. ENDIF.
I need to know how I implement this in SAP BO data services. Please help.
The ABAP help for the same is as follows:
Comparing Bit Sequences
Use the following three operators to compare the bit sequence of the first operand with that of the second:
<operator> Meaning
O bits are one
Z bits are zero
M bits are mixed
The second operand must have type X. The comparison takes place over the length of the second operand. The first operand is not converted to type X.
The function of the operators is as follows:
O (bits are one)
The logical expression
<f> O <hex>
is true if the bit positions that are 1 in <hex>, are also 1 in <f>. In terms of set operations with bit sequences, this comparison is the same as finding out whether the set represented by <hex> is a subset of that represented by <f>.
Z (bits are zero)
The logical expression
<f> Z <hex>
is true if the bit positions that are 1 in <hex>, are 0 in <f>.
M (bits are mixed)
The logical expression
<f> M <hex>
is true if from the bit positions that are 1 in <hex>, at least one is 1 and one is 0 in <f>.
Caution: The following programs are no longer supported in Unicode systems:
REPORT demo_log_expr_bits .
DATA: text(1) TYPE c VALUE 'C',
 hex(1) TYPE x,
 i TYPE i.
hex = 0.
DO 256 TIMES.
i = hex.
IF text O hex.
 WRITE: / hex, i.
ENDIF.
hex = hex + 1.
ENDDO.
The output is as follows:
00 0
01 1
02 2
03 3
40 64
41 65
42 66
43 67
Here, the bit structure of the character 'C' is compared to all hexadecimal numbers HEX between '00' and 'FF' (255 in the decimal system), using the operator O. The decimal value of HEX is determined by using the automatic type conversion during the assignment of HEX to I. If the comparison is true, the hexadecimal number and its decimal value are displayed on the screen. The following table shows the bit sequences of the numbers:
hexadecimal decimal Bit sequences
00 0 00000000
01 1 00000001
02 2 00000010
03 3 00000011
40 64 01000000
41 65 01000001
42 66 01000010
43 67 01000011
The bit sequence of the character 'C' is defined for the current hardware platform by its ASCII code number 67. The numbers that occur in the list display are those in which the same bit position is filled with 1 as in the bit sequence of u2018Cu2019. The sequence 01000011 is the universal set of the bit sequences.
Best Regards, Murugesh

Edge 3.1 Data Services connection to SAP ECC 5.0 on AIX server

I've got a client who is trying to create a Data Services extract from an SAP ECC 5.0 system on an AIX server. The Data Services is installed on a Windows box and is the Edge 3.1 version. He is able to connect to the SAP datastore, is able to import the metadata for a table and browse the data, but the data transport in the R/3 Data Flow fails due to a permissions problem on the file generated in the working directory on the SAP server (as indicated by the Data Services error message).
We have confirmed that the file can be opened and modified by the same user that the Data Integration service is running under. I have also duplicated his environment and settings in a sandbox virtual machine, except that our SAP ECC 6.0 system is running on MS Windows Server 2003, and the transfer works fine in that environment.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Is there a permissions setting we're missing?

Simply means that in the case you have more than one instance you need to shutdown down the instance you are working on and all the other ones too.

SAP BO Data Services Repository Login error

Hi All,
I am a new SAP data services 4.0 user. I am getting following error while connecting to the repository while starting the designer.
ERROR: ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> for data source <SERVERNAME> failed. <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB] SSL security error>. Notify customer support. (BODI - 1112172)

SAP to Data Services System (Business Objects)

Hi,
Currently there is an RFC connection between Data Services and R/3 which exchange three idocs. Each idoc has an volume of 30k per day.
As we are trying to introduce PI as central broker, will it be recommended to bring PI into the scope thinking on the performance head.
As this would be simple idoc to idoc conversion, let me know the things that will help to reduce the performance overhead.
Also should i be using RFC adapter between PI and Data Services.
Also since the licensing model is based on CPU, what effect will it bring with these three interfaces?
Is there any other connectivity that we can try apart from simple RFC

Hi,
>>>Do you mean to say with dual stack, Idoc adapter is available both in ABAP as well JAVA.
yes you can use any of the two
but if you want to use ICO you can only use IDOC_AAE (java stack idoc adapter)
>>>I thought idoc adapter would present in Java stack when you go for java stand alone installation only.
no, with dual you also get it
>>>>That would solve my volume issues. What is the best way to find the size of an idoc?
send it via PI or easier and without PI - send it to an XML port (but this will give you the XML idoc size)

Michal Krawczyk

DR on SAP BusinessObjects Data Services

Hi Experts,
Greetings.
We are planning to implement the DR setup for Business Objects Data services. It would be helpful if you could share us step perform the DR on SAP business objects Data services.
Regards
Sebastian A

Hi,
Data Services Repositories are usually hosted in databases. This means the DR recovery options setup for the database server that hosts the Data Services will protect the code held in the repositories for DR purposes.
As far as setup is concerned, you can take a point-in-time image of the data services app server, jobserver and configurations so that it can be used for DR purposes.
This is only high level. But you can use this as the base to discuss disaster recovery options with your infrastructure counterpart defining the DR recovery options.
kind regards

Data services connectivity with Oracle 8i database

Query 1:
We are using Data services XI R3 for pulling data from Oracle 8i data soure to Oracle 10g target.
Our repository is also a 10g database.
We created a datastore for 8i source and tried to import the table.
Below is the error that we get when try to import the table:
Error: Cannot import metadata.
Oracle <....> error message for operation <OCIStmtExecute> : <ORA-00904: Invalid column name>..(BODI-1112338)
While creating datastore, we entered database type as Oracle.
We were able to import the table with same 8i source , target and repository of 10g version by using Data Integrator XI R2 tool but when we try the same thing with Data services, we are getting this error.
Any other alternative other than using System DSN?
Query 2:
Also,is there any performance impact if we use ODBC System DSN name as the data source instead of Oracle while creating data store in Data services XI R3?
We have used DSN since we were not able to import table from Oracle 7 and 8i databases(source) into repository (Oracle 10g) if we give Oracle as the data source. Target database is also Oracle 10g database.
Edited by: Amardeep Pandey on Jun 26, 2009 8:51 AM

the following issue is fixed in XI 3.2, you will be able to import the tables, but Oracle 8i and 7 are not supported oracle datastore versions, you will have to select oracle 9i in the datastore
Oracle <....> error message for operation <OCIStmtExecute> : <ORA-00904: Invalid column name>..(BODI-1112338)
no there is no other alternate than using ODBC

Extracting Data from SAP ERP using BODI/Data Services 4.0

HI,
I am trying to extract data from SAP ERP via SAP extractors using BODI/Data Services 4.0.
I do not have my own ERP system so I am renting remote access from one of the many available on the internet.
I am able to connect BODI to the ERP system and import the extractors metadata.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I run job to extract the data I get the following error:
Vendor-supplied function module <Z_AW_RFC_READ_EXTRACTOR> not found. Ensure that you can execute the function module in SAP via transaction /nSE37.
How do I create the function? Or is the function a SAP standard function?
SAP ERP system being used is: ECC6 EHP4
User has SAP FULL and DEVELOPER authorizations.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

How to connect Data Services with microsoft SQL/ Steps

Dear All,
i attend to connect the SAP BO Data Services to Microsoft SQL.
1. Is there any document which explains the steps to follow?
2. Is there any document how to build a prototyp
Thank you.
Pat.

Hi Aditya,
You can use a datastore of type ODBC using the IBM Client Access driver or the DataDirect driver that comes packaged with Data Services. There is a sticky thread on downloading the DataDirect driver. There is also another option to connect with the Attunity driver for the AS400. You cannot use the DB2 UDB drivers to connect to the AS400 V6R1.

Running "Flex test drive" - Got error while attempting to connect to data service

Hi,
I'm a Flex / Flash builder beginner. I downloaded the 60 days evaluation, and started to run the "Flex test drive" :
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/testdrive.html
My configuration :
XP SP3 PRO french edition
Tomcat 6.0
My local Eclipse :eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-win32 (but also got the issue on the Flash Builder Eclipse, which version is 3.4.0 (Generation ID M20090211-1700)
Flash Builder 4 with Eclipse plug-in
All on same PC
The Test Drive proposes examples in three technologies : Cold Fusion, PHP and Java. I'm doing the Java examples.
Installation of Flash Builder, as well as step 1 of the Test Drive (Build the user interface) went fine. I could run the project, which at the end of step 1 correctly displayed the UI in my browser.
Only one problem, I don't know if it is relevant for the rest of this post : I first got an error, saying that ports 8080, 8005 and 8009, requested by Tomcat, where used. After a short Google search, I fixed it by changing these ports to 8081, 8006, and 8010, in the Tomcat 6.0\conf\server.xml file.
The Test drive second step is "Connect to data". I found some discrepancies between the Test Drive doc, and what is displayed in Flash Builder. The Test Drive says :
"Use the Data menu and the Service Wizard to create a service for your application server. For ColdFusion and Java, specify the service file you put on your application server earlier (see Figure 9 for a PHP example). For Java, select the No password required check box, select the employeeService destination, and change the service package to services.employeeservice."
--> But there is no "No password required check box".
Also, when running the "Connect to data/service..." wizard, it was not at first completely clear what to choose. The proposed choices were :
BlazeDS
ColdFusion
HTTP
LCDS
PHP
Web Service
XML
Since all others choices, when tried, declared to be unconsistent with my project's server type, I finally selected "Web Service".
In the next wizard's form, according to the Test Drive indications, I specified the URI of my EmployeeService class : C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\testdrive\WEB-INF\classes\services\EmployeeService.class
That defined correctly the other fields.
But when pressing the "Next >" button, Flash Builder issued the following error message :
English translation : Unable to extract operations and entities from specified WSDL. Reason : an error occured while instrospecting the service.
And the full error text is :
An error occured while instrospecting the service. WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing 'file:/C:/Program%20Files/Apache%20Software%20Foundation/Tomcat%206.0/webapps/testdrive/W EB-INF/classes/services/EmployeeService.class'.: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
It is usually relatively easy to find fixes through Google searches, but this time, it didn't work. So here I am, expecting a bunch of wise answers from all the nice Flex / FB gurus that I'm sure haunt this forum .
Thanks and best regards.
Marc.

For those who would have the same problem, here is how I could eventually fix it.
Since the Flex Test Drive is sometimes out of sync with flash builder 4, I recreated a project using other help pages on Adobe site :
Entry point :
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08- 7ffd.html
As suggested, I used the New Project wizard to create a new project, with :
Application server type : J2EE
Check the radio button "Use remote object access service : BlazeDS"
Then, as indicated in following pages (section "Accessing BlazeDS")... :
file:///C:/Mes%20documents%20C/Commun/Developpement/Documentation/HT-Tracks/AccessingData/ help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08-7ffe.ht ml#WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-19a3f0e0122be55e1b7-8000
...I selected the "Data / Connect to Data/Services..." menu option, which started the Data/service connection wizard.
There, I selected a BlazeDS (and not Web Services) service type, and everything went fine.
Suggestion to adobe staff : maybe it would be useful to update the Flex Test Drive to reflect Flash Builder 4 ?
Very nice product anyway, so far, congratulations...
Rgds
