Search Dictionary in Data Services Designer

Hello,
I am on Data Services 12.2.0.0 on DB2
I am using the option Search Dictionary in the designer. i tried to do a search on the dictionary PERSON_FIRM_EN without putting any search string. And it is giving me a list of results.
Afterwhich i use one of the displayed result and put it into the search string, but it couldn't find the same string and it asked if i would wish to create an entry in the dictionary.
So any idea what is wrong here?

  • Data Services Designer Question

    Hi Friends,
    I want to sign onto the Data Services Designer without having to connect through the CONSOLE directly.  What BOBJ client software will I need to install to be able login into the designer? 
    I installed the BOBJ Enterprise Client Tools but there was no option to choose the Data Services Designer to log in with.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello
    I recommend to post this query to the [Enterprise Information Management|Data Services and Data Quality; forum.
    This forum is dedicated to topics related to Data Integration (Data Integrator, Data Federator, Text Analysis for Data Integrator, Rapid Marts, and Integration for PeopleSoft Enterprise), Data Quality (Data Quality and Data Insight), and Metadata Management.
    It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
    Also, all Enterprise Information Management queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

  • Question - new to BO Data Services Designer - how to automatically transform varchar column data to upper(varchar) across all columns in a table?

    Hello -
    New user to BO Data Services Designer. Company is using Data Services Version 12.2.
    I have many tables that all need the same transformation- converting varchars fields to upper(varchar) fields
    Example:
    I have a table called Items. It has 40 columns, 25 of which are of type varchar.
    What I have been doing is ....
    I make the Item table as the source table then create a Query transform that is then attached to a new target table called - ITEMS_Production.
    I can manually drag and drop columns from the source table to the query and then in the mapping area I can manually type in upper(table_name.column_name) or select the upper function and then select the table.column name from the function drop down list.
    Obviously, I want to do this quicker as I have to do this for lots and lots of tables.
    How can set up Data Services so that I can drag and drop an upper transform quickly and easily or automate this process.
    I also know Python-Java so am happy to script something if need be.
    the logic would be something like -
    if there is a column with a type varchar, add the upper() transformation to column. Go to next column.
    Excited to be using this new tool-
    Thanks in advance.

    Use the DS Workbench.

  • Data Services Designer Issue with Job Server

    I am on Business Objects Edge Pro using the Data Services Designer.  When I try execute a job I get "The job server you have selected is not working."  In addition to that when I try to make any personal change to the environment I get a BODI-1260016 error.  Finally when you go to the help and about they show both the Job Engine and Job Server not responding. 
    I have opened up my CMC and it shows all servers enabled and functioning.  I do not know where to go from here.
    Thanks
    Cassidy

    Voila. I know I am a bit late to the conversation, but here was my solution. I was running Designer on my local machine. We also have Designer on the server. So I decided to remote to the server and compare settings. When the server desktop came up, good old Windows was there, announcing that BODS had changed since the last time it was run, and would I like to allow it to run (Y/N/Cancel)? Thanks, Windows. I said Yes, then went back to my local workstation, tried again to run a job, and no problem.
    This has happened with other software services (scripted ftp for example) that run on servers. Seems it can happen after a Microsoft Tuesday, or after software is upgraded. Always remember to log on to the server and clear any security dialogs that are preventing your service from running. Not really a BO solution, but it was my solution. YMMV.

  • Data Services Designer - Error when pulling large source tables

    Hi all,
    I have been trying yo load data from an SAP table - BSIS into MS SQL server database using BO Data Services Designer XI 3.2.  It is a simple data flow with one souce table (BSIS).
    When we execute the job, it says what is mentioned below:
    *"Process to execute Dataflow is started"*
    *"Cache statistics determined that DataFlow uses <0> caches with a total use of <0> bytes. This is less than the virtual memory <1609564160> bytes available for caches. Statistics is switching the cache type to IN MEMORY."*
    *"Dataflow using IN MEMORY cache."
    It stays there for a while and says "Dataflow terminated due to error"
    In the error window, it says DF received a bad system message.
    Does not specify the error... It asks to contact the customer support with error logs, ATL files and DDL scripts.
    Can anyone help me out???
    Thank you and regards,
    Suneer.

    Hi,
    please do not post the short dump in this forum.
    I blieve the system will read from table dt_iobj_dest.
    The problem is that 0FISCPER, 0FISCYEAR and 0FISCVARNT  are not registered.
    You can register the infoobject 0FISCYEAR and 0FISCVARNT
    retroactively: 
    1) se24, CL_UG_BW_FIELD_MAPPING                
    2) F8 -> test environment                      
    3) GET_INSTANCE, do not use IT_FIELD_RESTRICT  
    4) IF_UG_BW_MAPPING_SERVICES                   
    5) REGISTER_INFO_OBJECT                        
    6) specify  I_RFCDEST                          
                I_INFOOBJECT                       
       attention: I_RFCDEST is case-sensitive      
    kind reg.

  • DI Integrator XI and Data Service Designer

    Hi all
    I am playing with DI XI (11.7) now, but very soon we would have Data Service Designer (new version of DI which is called Data Service Designer). I'm just wondering what the difference is between DI Integrator 11.7 and Data Service Designer. The interface and object types are very different and a big surprise for me? Or I might ask what's new in Data Service Designer?
    Thanks for your help.

    You will be very familiar with DataServices Designer. You will find more transforms - the data quality transforms - and a few menu items, flags etc. But really, DataServices is just a name change. For DQ customers things changed a lot.

  • Data Services Designer - Very Slow on VPN

    Hello,
    Any idea why Data Services Designer is very slow and many a times goes into Not Responding state. I'm using this client tool to connect to the Data Services Repository + Servers via VPN.
    It takes few minutes to load the jobs or to save the changes. Some times hangs.
    Wanted to know if anyone is facing similar issues, and any workaround/setup changes to eliminate these delays...
    Regards,
    Madan
    Edited by: Madan Mohan Reddy Zollu on Mar 12, 2010 9:24 AM

    Data Services Designer is communicating with the repo (to store/retrieve objects) and the jobserver (to execute jobs and get status/log files) so if there is a slow network connection, response time in the Designer could become problematic.
    One way to solve this is use CITRIX or terminal services to have your Designer close to the database and only screens are send over the slow connection. In the Windows installation guide there is a chapter that documents how to setupDesigner in a (multi-user) Citrix environment.

  • Data Services Designer 14 - Large Log files

    Hello,
    we're running several jobs with the Data Services Designer 14, all works fine.
    But today a problem occur:
    The Data Designer on a client produces after finishing a big job a very large log file in the Data Services Designer folder with 8 GB.
    Is it possible to delete these log files automatically or restrict the maximum size of the created log files in the designer?
    What's the best way?
    Thanks!

    You can set to automatically delete the log files based on number of days.
    I have done this in XI 3.2, but as per the document, this is how it can be done in DS 14.0.
    In DS 14.0, this is handled in CMC.
    1. Log into the Central Management Console (CMC) as a user with administrative rights to the Data Services application.
    2. Go to the u201CApplicationsu201D management area of the CMC. The u201CApplicationsu201D dialog box appears.
    3. Right-click the Data Services application and select Settings. The u201CSettingsu201D dialog box appears.
    4. In the Job Server Log Retention Period box, enter the number of days that you want to retain the following:
    u2022 Historical batch job error, trace, and monitor logs
    u2022 Current service provider trace and error logs
    u2022 Current and historical Access Server logs
    The software deletes all log files beyond this period. For example:
    u2022 If you enter 1, then the software displays the logs for today only. After 12:00 AM, these logs clear and the software begins saving logs for the next day.
    u2022 If you enter 0, then no logs are maintained.
    u2022 If you enter -1, then no logs are deleted.

  • Difference Between Data Services Designer and Data Services Workbench

    Hello All,
    I am new to Data Services .
    What is the difference between Data Services Designer and Data Services Workbench .
    Am bit confused in the above two .
    Please help me to understand the same.
    Thanks in advance.
    Aisurya

    Workbench is used to create, display and modify the objects. It will display the source table data and we can see the logs of the job which we have executed and also we can see the status of a job. In bods 4.2 you can design the dataflow in workbench in previous release we don’t have that option but designer contains debugging option, you can write scripts,  it will support all databases; these option are not available in workbench. for more information refer this document:

  • Data Services Designer - how to access  from pc?

    Hello experts,
    We have just installed a Data Services instance for the client's projet.
    Everything seems to be ok on the server side.
    I was just wondering what the functionnal consulting needs from its side to access the DS interface on the server?
    Do we have to deploy the Designer on each consulting pc? (media SBOP_DS_DESIGNER_40_WIN64 ?)
    Do you know which port must be open to allow access from pc to server?
    Regards,
    Thibaud.

    Hi,
    usually the Designer gets deployed on eacht development PC. On the other hand you could also install it in a Terminal Environment such as Citrix.
    From the Host(s) where the Designer is installed to the Host where the DS Server part is installed you need to open the ports for the Services such as JobServer, Access Server, Profiler Server etc.
    You defined these ports during the installation of the Server.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • How to perform merge operation using Data services designer?

    I am new here and new to Data Services Desinger as well.
    And currently, I want to do a merge operation using query transform or table comparison transform. But sadly, neither one of them is giving me what I want.
    So, wonder if you could help clarify if either one of them could achieve MERGE operation between and source and target tables?
    if positive, then how?
    PS:
    by MERGE, i mean, if data exists in target table, then only do update, else, do insert. same with the standard MERGE operation of oracle.
    If you need any more info, let me know!
    Thanks in advance.

    You can do this.
    You don't need the Tabe_Comparison transform actually.
    Just query the data you need and output the flow from your query to your target table.
    Then, you'll have to check the "Auto correct load" option: this will insert new lines and updates old ones. One checked, you can ckeck the "Auto correct load" checkbox.
    By default, BODS will know a line already exists based uppon the primary key columns of your target table. If you want to change the columns used to determine if a line should be inserted or updated, use the "Use input key" checkbox (and define some PK column in your query).
    Hope this helps
