SPM Extractors Starter Kit

Hi,
I am working with SPM extracting data from one of our R/3 systems (R/3 4.7). I installed the extractors in our system, copy the existing project delivered by SAP and then generated the extractors for those objects that we need. My question is regarding deltacapability. I read delta is available for some objects, based on their creation, posting or last change date. Nevertheless I cannot make any of them work in delta mode (even for those where there is a date available for delta extraction, for example Cost Centers, Invoices, POs.). I go to transaction Z_SA_EXTR, select project and object, and then click on Start. I immediately get the message 'Object file created successfully' (what is true, the file is there). But I am never asked whether I want to execute it in full, init or delta mode.
The SPM application will be installed in a standalone server (not in any of our existing BW systems), so I will be generating flat files to be FTP to the final destination. Is it that if I do not have a datasource for BW the delta mechanism is not available?.
Please clarify me on how this works. Many thanks!
Claudia.

Hi Claudia,
SPM extractors do run in delta mode. SPM applications maintains the previous successful load data & time. When extracted again the previous recorded data & time and current date & time range is used to bring in the delta records. This date range is automatically passed to the info-package during extraction date filter to bring in delta extract. This is also the reason only one info-package has to be created against the SPM extractors in BW.
When executing these extractors in source system using RSA3 (extractor test) you can pass the date range to retrieve delta records for testing.
The very first time you run the extractors it will run in INIT mode, meaning bringing all the records from beginning of time till today and the next load will be from previous successful load till today in DELTA mode.
If you want to load multiple INIT loads, meaning break the INIT load into multiple pieces use the following steps:
- Specify a date range in the info-package on BW side to bring in one year worth of data (01/01/2009 to 12/31/2009)
- Make sure you delete the specific previous successful load date time stamp from the table OPM_SOURCE_ST which maintains the extractors status. This is the table that is used to figure out which was the previous successful load.
- Repeat the above 2 steps depending on the number of INIT loads you want to perform
- For the final load only specify the from date and leave the to date blank, this will bring in data up to the current date. After successful load the system will record the current data in the table and will be used for the next extract as delta.
Keep in mind that a factor of safety of 5 days is used during extraction to make sure all the records are extracted.
Hope this helps.

Generic delta creation with Extractor Starter Kit - BW Datasource option

Hi Rajesh, Rohit,
As per the wiki, http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CPM/FAQ-DataExtractionforSpendPerformance+Management, the question:-
Do these starter kits have any support for delta (periodic data updates) after the initial load is completed?
A. Yes. Deltas are available (for all source objects that support delta mechanism) in both of the extraction options. You don't need to reload the full set of data, when you perform the periodic data updates.
I understand you can use the date range but this in my view is still a full load. We understand that you can create your own generic datasource based on the generated function module generated by generating the object, for e.g PO.
We have tried to do this for the object PO, thus the following:-
rso2 > create a new transaction datasource > base on generated datasource (Z_SADSERPPO) and use it's fm and extract strucutre :- Z_SAERPPO_DS fm , ZEXTR_ERPPO extr structure
When we goto to create a generic delta based on DATE_RANGE we get the error message ::-
Z_PDPOTEST: TABLES-paramter E_T_DATA for extractor Z_SAERPPO_DS is missing
Can you create a blog around this as we understand other customers have managed to create these deltas?
Best regards,
Pom

Hi Claudia,
That's fine, please continue to use the Z_SA_DEPD to generate the datasource. If you then do a rsa2 on this datasource, you can see the underlying function module and the extract structure for this which is also fine.
The bizarre thing is that through rso2 for this generated extractor, you cannot see the fm associated for this, hence why the generic delta is not working.
What we thought of doing and in line with the sap recommendation was to create a new transaction datasource from tcode rso2 and base it on the above function module and extract structure, but when we goto choose the date_range as the generic delta, it doesn't work and gives the error.
Am still waiting an answer.
Will keep you posted.
Thanks,
Pom

SAP eSourcing 5.1 - Java/SQL based data extractor starter kit for BW

Hi,
We're implementing the eSourcing 5.1 which is fully Java based. I'm not able to find the Java/SQL based extractor for it. Does anyone have any idea where we could get the Java/SQL based extractor ? If anyone has any prior experience with extracting data from eSourcing5.1 to BW, would appreciate any advise on the best way to extract data from it, whether using standard Java/SQL based extractor or via flat files or some other methods.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Femmie.

HI Sivaraju,
Thanks so much for the info.
For DB connect, do you know if there's any standard extractors for it ?

SPM Extractors from SAP R/3

Hi, I am quite new working with SPM and currently investigating options for data extraction activity from R/3 to SPM.
I could see there is an extraction wiki, were I found very useful information, and could see the main options are:
1. Use SAP provided ABAP extractors (as a starting kit probably)
2. Write our own ABAP programs
3. Using other ETL tool, like for example BOBJ IM (Business Objects Integration Manager)
My main concern is regarding performance, as I expect to have to deal with high volume of data. I'd like to hear some past experience on how SAP provided extractors work. Have any of you implemented these extractors or had the chance of seeing them running?. The delta capability works fine? Is it a delta just based on a document creation/change data? or other changes (in the master data for example, where we do not always have a change date) are also captured?. How much customizing should I considerate will be requested (of course I understand this depends on how much customizing do we have in our R/3).
Is it worth exploring these standard extractors?. Or should I better start considering other option like BOBJ-IM? I think I will have to use BOBJ-IM anyway for some non-SAP sources of data which I also have to include.
Any experience with these extractors is appretiated!.
Many thanks.
Regards,
Claudia.

Hi Claudia,
Below are some of my comments in regards to SPM extractors.
1. Using SPM extractors as a starter kit is a great idea. This will bring in all the necessary data from standard R/3 tables with the necessary logic to populate SPM.
2. Taking the route of writing you own ABAP program / extractors may be necessary only if you have quite a lot of customization in R/3 as your source for data.
3. Using BOBJ IM is necessary for extracting data from non-SAP data source.
As always loading initial could be a lengthy process. To speed up this process it is recommended to break it down to smaller manageable loads.
Delta is primarily based on create / change date for both master data and transaction data.
In terms of customizations, you are right depends on what you are looking for, you may end up adding new fields or writing some exit / code to add business logic to existing fields. Have seen customers do a combination of both.
Have seen quite a lot of customers take the route of delivered extractor which gives them a great start. Secondly looking at the extractors you can tell exactly what tables and fields are used to extract data, that way even if you are planning to build you own extractors you know exactly what fields are needed.

Rohit

Error while installing IFRS Starter Kit in BO FC

Hi Experts,
We are trying to install Starter Kit for IFRS SP1 in BO FC version 7.5. We are following the steps in the installation guide.
However while running the SCAN task, we encounter an error : "Processing task SCAN - (error) ". The log shows that
the packets are extracted, but it is not able to generate the receive tasks. What is the possible cause of this error?
The product information of FC shows that "Build : 7.5.0.1021". How to find the service pack that is installed?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shoba

Ok,
The problem is the following : You can only install IFRS packages in a non signed database. Yours is signed as 0000.TOP so it will not work. Even if the goal is to have IFRS packages installed + 0000.TOP signature.
You should do the following :
1. Create a new empty database.
2. Create a new Finance Datasource in CtAdmin.msc which point to the new DB
3. Initialize it as a CHILD DB (All task / Migrate).
4. Connect to the application with ADMIN account and verify that the DB signature is empty (if it's not the case, you will have to switch SQL initialization querries back to child behaviour and restart from step 1).
5. Copy IFRS packages and configure the transfer vector (folder destination).
6. Create and execute the SCAN task
7. Execute each reception task
8. Change DB Signature from 0000.ROLL-OUT to 0000.TOP (SQL querries are documented in the IFRS installation guide).
Good luck

Unhandled Error in Starter Kit 2.0

Hello,
I am trying to develop some applications with the NI sbRIO-9632 that came with the Starter Kit 2.0, however whenever I try to run the Robotics Hardware Setup I get an "Unhandled Error".
The device appears in the "Targets Detected" list with the correct serial number and with an IP address.
I tried to "ping" the device to see if it responded and the results are shown in the screenshot:
First time the device was connected directly to computer
Second time the device was connected in the same network as the computer I was using
Third time I "pinged" the computer next to me
Last time again the device was connected directly to computer
I included some screenshot that show how I got the problem.
Can anyone help?
Thank You
Davide

The device didn't really crash though, it basically fails to connect to a PC in order to receive a program.
Other people are experiencing my same issue with the same sbRIO, and we don't really know what is going on.

Just to make sure, try to connect an ethernet cable directly between the sbRIO and your computer (perhaps connect it to that extra port).
Also, is the sbRIO connected to a hub or a switch? If it is a hub and it starts to transmit broken packets from some junky WLAN card/router, it might cause problems?
First I got some bad latency, basically the connection went intermittent on/off, on my sbRIO, then a few minutes it went belly up and crashed (froze).

Problem stopping the Labview Starter Kit motors (huge offset?)

Hi
I implemented an algorythm for the Labview Starter Kit. It reads a map and navigates from the initial point to the goal. The Starter Kit only performs two movements: "go straight X mm", and "turn 90º left/right (the turning is made when stopped, like a rotation).
The problem Im encountering is the turning. It uses a digital compass (CMPS09): when the robot needs to turn left/right, I feed the CCW Velocity of the motors (using the read/write FPGA functon) with +3.4 rad/seg and -3.4 rad/seg, into a timed loop.
The condition to stop is simple: "if heading=desired heading for the actual turn --> finish loop and stop motors".
Well, it happens that in the time window from calling the "stop motor" function, and the robot motors and wheels actually STOPPING, the robot travels 9-10 extra degrees!
So, for example, I want the robot to turn from north (0º) to 90º. The CCW velocities are feed with +3.4rad/seg and +3.4rad/seg into a timed loop, and I checked that the timed loop finishes when the heading is 90º. But the final orientation of the robot is exactly 100º, because the motor seems to take a little time to stop.
The deviation depends on the velocity of the motors, I was able to reduce it to 3/4 degrees using a turning velocity of 1rad/seg, but it has no use since it´s extremely slow and the motors works very badly (they dont even are able to maintain a constant speed in slower velocities).
I tried to check the Starter Kit FPGA.VI but I fail to understand how the "stop motor" function works.
I dont know if there is any way to correct or reduce the "stopping time" of the motors. If I correct the turning function to subtract 10º for every turnop before starting the movement, the algorythm works as long as I use the 3.4rad/seg velocity... but that solution is extremely shabby, and I dont think I cant say that on my Final Project! There has to be a way to improve it, isn´t it?
EDIT: For the record, I tried several variations for the loop, and several timing, form us to ms, and I think that´s not the problem, because I wasnt able to get better resulsts at all.

I did have similar problems and I figured all that I installed too many real-time components. It might not be the case with yours but you might try.

UC on C210 Westmere starter kit

Hi guys,
I have a customer who already posses a couple of Cisco UCS C210 M2 servers based on preconfigured starter kits ( 2 x X5650, 48Gb RAM, 2 x 146 HDD) and IBM SAN storage. We were planning to deploy Unified Communications following the UC on UCS blueprint. I was going through the guidelines found on this link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/solution_overview_c22-597556.html
What I find problematic here is this paragraph which states that only quad-core cpus are supported at this time:
"Processor: The CPU quantity must match the quantities listed in Tables 1 and 7. The CPU type must either match the types listed in Tables 1 and 7 or be a more powerful option (that is, Intel Xeon or later architecture with better performance as measured by benchmarks such as PassMarks). Only quad-core CPUs are supported at this time. CPU options that are less powerful than the configurations in Tables 1 and 7 are not supported"
This conflicts with the existing X5650 processor which is 6 core.
Does anybody know if this is already overcome? Any experience with such scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Elton

BE 6000 consists of the following foundational elements:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager

3D Starter Kits

I purchased the Samsung 55" LED 3d tv bundle back at the end of January. New house, new TV, right? The kit (2 pairs of glasses, Shrek movie, etc.) was back ordered. No big deal... I had plenty of other things keeping me busy. Well, the dust has settled, most of the boxes have been unpacked, and I've been playing with the TV. I called BB, and they still don't have the kits. And they really don't know when they will come in. I called Samsung to see if I could get the squeaky wheel greased, and they said that wasn't their deal, it was strictly a BB deal. I should call them.
Does anyone have some insight??
Thanks in advance!!

I know this will not help you much but it does seem to be a growing industry epidemic at best. there just isnt much support for the 3D TV stuff. This is my open letter to my television company mitsubishi.
Thought I would repost a letter to MDA and pre warn others from buying into this brand of 3D TV. Who knows it might save you time money and effort.
to MDA in reguard to:
"Thank you for contacting Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc. We are pleased to be able to assist our customers via our website. Here is the information that you have requested:
To purchase additional glasses that are compatible with Mitsubishi TV’s are Samsung Model # SSG-2100MG/ZA or part #789P012A10
Regards
MDA"
3- 8-10
Dear MDA I truly can not put into words the over whelming remorse I have had in purchasing your brand of TV. It is not the TVs fault for the remorse, on the contrary the TV works fine and performs as it should and intended.
It is the remorse for purchasing the TV in the anticipation that it would come with full support in the growing 3D industry. More specifically, the Accessories, the emitter, the glasses, the customer service, it's quite frankly none existing.
I'll outline a bit in detail the tremendous efforts on my families part in whole, to obtain even the minute of information on where or even how to purchase the said above mentioned items.
First outing: HHgregg
Item: Emitter
After searching the tri county area for the emitter or the starter pack we encounter a number of problems. It would seem that none of the retail stores carry your manufactured starter kit or glasses except HHgregg. We called to make sure they have at least one in stock, which they did. Once we arrive we find out they in fact did not have the kit they sold it ten minutes prior to our arrival. After haggling with the manager they do find a kit located twenty miles away. With no apologies from the store manager we left for the twenty mile hike; only to find out the kit had been previously opened an returned. So desperate were we, we bought that set as is with no discount!
The kit to this day work great and fine.
Second outing: Brandsmart USA
Item: Glasses
After the semi major purchase of the emitter and the enormous headache over the hassle we decided to wait a few months before venturing out for a extra pair (or two) of glasses. In our house hold we have six people. Me, my wife and four kids. Naturally we need four more glasses. This time staying away from HHgregg and vying to never again deal with this type if business. We decided to check out Brandsmart USA as they were running a special on samsung glasses. Ironically it seems Mitsubishi does not make their own glasses as listed in the manual. They list Samsung. The only current brand Samsung offer now is the SSG-3100ab. Armed with what little bit of information Mitsubishi has provided us with, we were under the impress this model would work. We ended up paying a hefty fee of $778.00 for four glasses. All of which are non compatible with YOUR television's 3D emitter.
Only after contacting your company that it was later revealed the only brand or model that is compatible is the Samsung Model # SSG-2100MG/ZA or part #789P012A10. Needless to say We've returned incompatible glasses this morning.
Third outing: http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/OnlineRetailers.html
Item: Compatible Glasses
Two god awful outings into the ever quest of finding items to work with your television and equipment accessories. This time we thought we'd stay at home and find the glasses. After much sleuthing around on the Internet and going through every one of your authorized dealers there is little luck we will find a compatible set of glasses. Either one of two things happens on your dealers web page. One, OUT OF STOCK! or Two, absorbingly high priced that's not worth the effort we've had to put forth into the purchase.
My wife personally contacted Samsung to find out what glasses they produce are compatible with your TV. To her astonishment and mine, As far as they recall "there isn't any Samsung glasses that are compatible with any Mitsubishi 3D TV". I'm not sure why they would say such a thing nor could I understand why your manufacture spec would list them as your compatible provider?
Allow me for a minute to introduce my self. My name is ****** ***** I'm an independent contractor for Heating Venting Air conditioners, also known in the field as HVAC. During my course of time I have personally sold and installed a great many of units ranging from Trane, American Standard, Reem and of course Mitsubishi. On average I spend at least five to ten hours a day at my customers homes. During the time it takes me to sale a system and to install it, I generally have about a two to three over conversation with the home owners. All of which isn't Solly dedicated to my sales. The conversations usually range from refrigerators to washers to dryers and as you might guess television sets too.
I can honestly say, when it comes to the 3D TV market your television isn't looked upon in much favor. I Truly wished I could tell my home owners the TV I bought for my 3D needs is enough to satisfy my families needs. Instead the conversions generally run into some thing of a First, Second, Third outing experience!
sincerely,

"Invalid column name" when restoring SAP DM IFRS Starter Kit

Invalid column name 'AccountExpirationDate'.

Invalid column name 'LastSuccessfulLoginDate'.
In our case, after getting this error we tried restoring the SK on SAP Disclosure Management SP06 and it turned out to work ok so hope that this solves it for anyone else stuck at the same

Hi Rajneesh,
Check whether you have both the row-axis and column-axis of the input template through 'edit report'.
Probably your input template has some member dimensions missing in your template.
We have faced the same problem before and corrected it.
This error occurs sometimes when we create a input template by clearing defining the row & column axis in the template but afterwards try some EPMOlapmember in any axis by deleting the original report elements.
So check the input template once again. I think you will track the error.

Oracle 8i for Linux Starter Kit

Hello,
Need an Oracle God to help me with 8i for linux!
I am would like to learn about oracle database software. Just purchased the Starter Kit that includes 8.1.6 Enterprise Edition. Now I have done some research on the install for this and found out that it is very difficult. I tried to cookbook together the install from various posts/oracle web site/etc. I was successful in getting it to install, but could not get the stubs patch to install.
I now have a fresh install of Mandrake 8.0. No changes have been made to glibc.
First question is where to get the correct glibc rpm to keep the installer from crashing, and from causing other problems to my system. MandrakeUpdate was smoking crack and fetching a different file for glibc 2.2.2-5, then it said that it would conflict with gcc or something like that. I want to make sure I am getting the appropriate
files.
Second, on page 19 of the book, I do ok until it comes to setting the environment variables. Am I supposed to login as my Oracle user, an type '$HOME/.bash_profile' to set these variables? This relates to the problem with the stubs patch saying that ORACLE_HOME was not in the environment.
Third, I am using this link to get to the stubs file.
http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle8i/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz
My plan is this.
1. Update the appropriate glibc rpm to allow the installer to run.
2. Install Oracle based on the books instruction verbatim.
3. Do not install the educational database. First install the stubs as above.
Questions.
Will a custom install allow me to keep the installer from attempting the database?
Once the stubs are installed, where is dbassist located to install the database after the fact?
Please Please help me with this situation. I would really like to learn databases, Oracle in particular. If this does not work, I doubt that I can return the book, considering the cd is open.
Thanks in advance for any kind assistance.

Here is a mini update since my last post...
ok, by updating my glibc stuffs from 2.2.2-4 to 2.2.2-5 I am able to get the runinstaller to work (it echos a bunch of 'map failed' in the console though I wonder if there is something wrong with that)... however since I am only doing now at work I can only try to install on my laptop which is does not have enough HD space. I am down to 230M left and there is no way it will install so I will try it again on my PC after I go home today. Btw, here are the files that I have updated:
glibc-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-profile-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
ldconfig-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
nscd-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
You can get these from any mirror sites I think. Or run your MandrakeUpdate under the Config/Packaging menu (you need to select a mirror site by clicking mirror site update).
As for the SRPMS/glibc-2.2.2-5mdk.src.rpm...
I can't find this file in any of the mirror site.
However, now I am facing another issue. I tried the "echo $ORACLE_HOME" as suggested but it returns me with an empty line same as I try a make up env like "echo $dafadas"... so does this means that it is not reading the ORACLE_HOME in my .bash_profile in the oracle account? I also notice that even I did all the same procedures, while in RH6.2 the oracle install path is my $ORACLE_HOME, in Mandrake8 the path is /home/oracle/OraHome1? I stopped at this step and didn't go forward because 1, there is not enough HD space to continue and 2, I am not sure that the path is correct. If anyone reached this state and went beyond please let me know if I am on the right track or not...
P.S. I remember doing that same thing about not installing the database during the installation for oracle 8.0.5; however, I couldn't access to the database even using my oracle account later on. I don't know if that is a permission problem or something like that.
Thanks in advance

Load transaction data from ECC to BPC 10.1 using US GAAP starter kit SP3

I need to understand a bit more the process to load transactional data into BPC 10.1. We have US GAAP Starter Kit SP 3. Below is an screenshot from the config guide:
It explains how transactional data can be extracted from ECC system to the SAP Netweaver BW data source 0FI_GL_10 and then transform it
to get it loaded into BPC. The Objects /PKG/FC_C01 and PKG/FC_DS01 are just mentioned here as reference because they come in the RDS for Financial Close and Disclosure Management, which not all companies have.
I believe the upwards data flow should be from Data Source 0FI_GL_10 to Data Store Object 0FIGL_O10 and then to InfoCube 0FIGL_R10. There is also a data flow that goes from 0FI_FL_10 to InfoCube 0FIGL_R10. Can anyone with experience with US GAAP starter kit answer this?
Thank you.

Hello, we were able to load actuals to our environment with the US GAAP Starter Kit, SP03. I followed the Operating Guide document up to section 5.2 and ran the Consolidation Data Manager Package with no issue. We are using the A20 Input and A20 Consolidation process flows based on flows F00, F10, F20, F30, F99, etc... According to the documentation, the Statemnet of Cash Flow and Changes in Equity should be automatically calculated and available from the changes
in Balance Sheet accounts once Consolidation is completed . However, when I ran the corresponding reports, they bring no data.
We loaded actual data for the whole 2013 and Jan 2014. Our intention is
to run the first consolidation for Jan 2014. The closing balance for period 12.2013 in flow 99 was copied to flow 00 2014 (opening balance). Flows 20 and 30 were updated with the corresponding balance sheet movements (increase/decrease), according to the delivered controls in the starter kit. However, cash flow is still showing no results.
I found the following text in the operating guide, but I am not clear if I am missing a step. Can you please clarify? This is telling me that I need to copy my 01.2014 opening balance (F00) to 12.2013 closing balance (F99, which is done by the copy opening data manager package, but in the opposite direction, from Y-1 F00 to Y F99) and in addition to also copy that balance to 12.2013 F00 (previous year opening balance)??
"5.2.2 First Consolidation
When operating the consolidation for a given Scope for the first time in the application, it is necessary to populate and process the prior year-end time period for this Scope, in addition to the first required consolidation period. This is because the flows dedicated to the scope change analysis are properly populated by the consolidation engine provided that at least one automatic journal entry has been detected in the consolidation used as opening consolidation, which by default is the prior year end (December, Y-1). To accomplish this, it is recommended that you copy all input-level opening data of the first required consolidation (flow “F00”) into the closing data (“F99”) and opening data (“F00”) of the prior year-end time period, including intercompany breakdowns.
This breakdown by intercompany in the balance sheet triggers automatic eliminations, which are carried over to the closing position. After the consolidation process, the closing data of the prior year
end time period will contain the appropriate source data for the opening data of the following consolidation, notably the opening automatic journal entries.

Looking to extract position/coordinates from Simulated Starter Kit 2.0

I am new to the Robotics Module of LabView so I wanted to clarify is either of things exist. The simulated DaNI (starter kit 2.0) moves depending on the speeds sent to the DC motors, but how/where is this translated into movement for the simulated DaNI? OR is there any way to put a marker or otherwise monitor the current position of the simulated DaNI in the simulated environment. (hopefully using coordinates or something similar?)
I am only using the basic, nothing complex. Some code has been written to make inputs to the Write Dc Motor Setpoints VI and that is where the motor speed is inputted, but I cannot see where it actually translates into movement for the simulated DaNI.
I don't need anything solved or fixed, would just appreciate a point in the right direction or a clarification.

You may want to take a look at the "Starter Kit 2.0 Dead Reckoning" example to see how to directly access the position of the robot from the simulation environment. (If you don't have LabVIEW 2012 or later you can get the example here.) In this case, you get a reference to the robot's "Body" object, then call the "Position" property to get the coordinates of the robot's center point within the simulation environment. As for how the API controls the motors, the robot host interface contains references to the simulated motors, and it is sending position setpoints to the simulator through those references This comminication is handled within Write DC Motor Setpoints.vi. Meanwhile the simulator is calculating the friction and collisions between the wheels and the ground to make the robot move.

Starter kit 2.0

Hi,
I am having some trouble with the daNI starter kit 2.0 robot. It is not detected by MAX or anything else, does anyone else ecountered this problem?
Thanks
Stefan
Solved!

Hi Stefanb1
Usually, if a RIO device such as a compactRIO or sbRIO isn't appearing in MAX, there may be a few different reasons. Firstly, have you installed the NI-RIO drivers on to your PC? It's important that you've installed your software in the correct order, with the development suite first, then the extra modules and toolkits (such as the robotics toolkit) and finally, drivers (NI-RIO).
If you have installed your software in the correct order, please ensure the quality of your ethernet cable and connection.
Kind Regards,
