Anyone know of a good one, with details? Not the SAP tutorial PDF. Video, blog, etc Google and BING find very little in the way of good designer tuts.

Hi,
you could extract an ATL File from DEV and import it to Sandbox.
This can be done via the DS DEsigner. Please Check the DS Designer User Guide for more information.

Problem on using Business Object Data Service Designer to copy data to HANA

Expert,
I want to use BODSD (v14) to copy tables from SQL server to HANA, so I create Job, Workflow, dataflow, source tables in SQL server, target tables in HANA and Querys, then execute the job.
All tables have been successfully transferred to HANA expect those with Chinese Characters.
I checked the HANA configuration and even created some Chinese lines into HANA, it is proved that HANA supports Chinese.
So I suspect that I haven't activate UNICODE witin BODSD, but I don't know how.
If anybody could offer any help on this problem, I extremely appreciate. Thank you.
Here is one sector of error messages from BODSD:
18964     17600     DBS-070401     10/26/2011 3:48:30 PM     Dataflow New_DataFlow|TVGAT
18964     17600     DBS-070401     10/26/2011 3:48:30 PM     ODBC data source <HANA_hanabox1> error message for operation <SQLExecute>: <[SAP AG][SDBODBC DLL][HDB] General error;274
18964     17600     DBS-070401     10/26/2011 3:48:30 PM     inserted value too large for column: 定单相关的项目>.
Thank you.

I found the answer by myself. post it here . I was using BODSD to transfer tables from ERP DB to HANA.
The previous error is caused by definitely what the error message means, that the column of HANA table is too short.
18964 17600 DBS-070401   10/26/2011 3:48:30 PM          Dataflow New_DataFlow|TVGAT
18964 17600 DBS-070401   10/26/2011 3:48:30 PM          ODBC data source <HANA_hanabox1> error message for operation <SQLExecute>: <[SAP AG][SDBODBC DLL][HDB] General error;274
18964 17600 DBS-070401   10/26/2011 3:48:30 PM          inserted value too large for column: 定单相关的项目>.
For example, Table u201CTVGATu201D has one column named u201CVRGARXu201D with the type varchar(20), however, there are lines with long Chinese String like u201C定单相关的项目u201D.
SQL Server can automatically append that column to hold these long strings, however HANA cannotu2026 so here is problem.
Now my solution is change the column definition of these HANA tables to longer, varchar(60), then everything is ok.

Business Object Data Services

Hi! Is BO Data Services part of the MDM installation? or do we have to purchase this separately?
Regards
SF

Generally, SAP BusinessObjects Data Services and SAP NetWeaver MDM have separate license tags, but as of 2010, there is also a combined license for SAP NetWeaver MDM and SAP Business Objects Data Services. For details, please contact your Account Manager.

Business Object Data Services (BODI) without SAP MDM?

Hi,
From an architectural point of view; do you always have to use SAP MDM when you want to use the Business Object Data Services (e.g. for data validity checks when creating customers)?
Or can you use Business Object Data Services in combination with SAP ECC without MDM?
Best regards,
Marius

All Depends on your business needs.
1) As in if you want to use most effective cleansing (BODS contains inbult infor for Adderess cleansing) along with some data governance(Validation, assignments,MDM Workflow) I would say fo with BO-MDM Integration.
2) Here I am not sure via BODS - ECC you can handle ongoing maintainance , it is supreb for first time data load.
so it is better if you use ECC-BO-MDM ---> BI/ECC for smooth transition through out landscape.
3) Here also try to check the data structure compactiblity between BODS and ECC as per their version, it can also create a big impact.
Hope these points can clear many doubts

Extract account Based COPA from R/3 using Business Object data services

Hello,
We have a requirement to extract Account Based COPA from SAP R/3 to Teradata using Business Objects data services.
I have read couple of white papers which give information on Rapid Marts( which are built in packages) already available for some applications like inventory, GL, AP, AR etc. But I could not find anything for COPA.
Would anyone give me any information on how to use BO data services for COPA?
Also if there is no rapid mart available for COPA, does anyone know how to create custom data marts in BO Data services?
Is there any document available on this?
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Question of Business Object Data Service

hi Expert,
Now we are doing project for CRM integration to BODS (Business object Data Service).
There is business request for deduplicate check whole CRM Business partner data base.
The data quantity is 10Million and most of them are consumer role, we prefer to clean up the BP data via BODS and in CRM we use standard account merge functionality.
but I not sure whether BODS support deduplicate check for 10M consumer and how to do it?
Is there any one had experience or idea for this request?
Br.
William.

Sure DS can do that, no doubt about it. But before starting, I recommend you to carefully read the Match Consolidate Transform wiki page. Pay special attention to the setting of the BREAK_KEY that will have a significant impact on the performance and throughput of the matching process.

Business Objects Data Service notify Busienss Objects Reporting ?

Hi,
Do you see me if it's possible to notify Business Objects reporting when the Business Objects Data Services has finishing these jobs ?
It's a standard integration or customization in your side ?
Thanks for your help
Gilles

We had to customize it by putting in script code, at the end of the job, that updates a table with the job name time it started and time it completed. This table is then cross-referenced with the Universes and finally reports that it involves. The end users logon to a JSP page that we created that allows them to search by report name to determine if all jobs related to the report have completed. If even just one job is in progress or hasn't started, it shows the report as not being avaialble for execution.

What SAP Business Objects Web Services to use with XI3.0

I'm new to BO and is tasked to install it.
What I've installed already is the BOE XI3.0 version and now want to install Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise.
What I can not figure out from the Xcelsius manual or SDN or OSS is what the Business Objects Web Services are the manual instructs you to install with Xcelsius.
I did find something called
BusinessObjects Web Services XI for Windows and downloaded it but is not sure if this is what I need to install as the business Object Web Services on XI 3.0
Can someone please direct me in the correct direction
Thanks in advance
Liezel

Hi,
i am not sure if i understand your question. If you mean Query as a Webservice (QaaWS), this component should be part of your XI 3.0 Enterprise installation. You could also use the flynet (www.flynet.co.uk) which is part of Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP1.
Best Regards
Ulrich
