Creating Universes from a SQL Server 2008 Database....Options?

Needing to create a Universe from a SQL Server 2008 DB, I am of course finding it difficult at best to get the ball rolling. Support tells me the only option I have is to use Designer, and to not use the "Automated Detection" features because they are not for production environment use <citing business requirement differences as one issue, as was noted during a support call when I was having problems with our VM server literally locking up while the "Automatic Detection" features were trying to run>.
So what that means is, from what I see, I am expected to manually add all of the SQL DB tables, and then have a Developer spend multiple hours adding appropriate Joins, Cardinalities, Keys, etc. And, whenever there are any DB changes, this has to be done all over again to the Universe to allow for syncronization with the DB.
This really seems like a heavy load to bear just to be able to use SAP. Is anyone else having these same challenges? Are there other options I am just not seeing? Seems to me Builder needs a SQL bridge honestly.
Appreciate any help I can get!!

While it may seem disappointing, as long as you have the data schema and knowledge of the joins and cardinalities, then you've got a lot of the easy stuff sorted out.
What you need to provide is a presentation layer that is more than just turning the tables and columns into classes and objects. There are often things that you need to create that don't exist in the database, such as objects for relative dates. These can be found in the thread that I created over on the BOB Board here:
http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=152613
Make sure that all objects have a description
Make sure that all dates and numbers have a format; there's nothing worse than creating a report and finding your year displayed as 2,011.00
Use predefined filters - include prompts
Other useful tips are available here:
http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=15227
Do you have a set of reporting requirements?

Errors while migrating from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 9i

Hi All,
We are trying to completely move our application from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database to Oracle 9i. I am doing it using the latest version of Oracle SQL Developer (1.2 build 29.98).

Migration of the database from Microsoft SQL 2014 Express to Microsoft SQL 2012 Server

I posted a similar thread yesterday, and I realized that there was a serious typo.
Link: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b3e201ea-6c7c-43a4-8908-842b714ea451/migration-of-the-database-from-microsoft-sql-2014-express-to-microsoft-sql-2012-server?forum=sqlservermigration
Therefore, I made a decision to post another thread right now.
I am
writing to ask if there are any known issues when migration from MS SQL 2014 Express to MS SQL 2012 Server version. Are there any step-by-step instruction on how I can go about doing this?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Jeff Yoo

Hello,
SQL Server 2012 setup program won’t allow you to perform a downgrade from SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. Backup/Restore
and Detach/Attach won’t help you either.
One option you have left is using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard as explained on the following article.

Hope this helps.

Problem with creating pdf from Microsoft Publisher 2013

We are having problems in creating pdfs from Microsoft Publisher2010- When the function 'Adobe PDF' is selected and 'Print' is clicked on nothing happens. The progress bar just sits there for several minutes without creating a pdf. We have to click on cancel and when this is done this crashes Microsft Publisher.
I have repaired this using the repair facility in Acrobat 9. I have also uninstalled Acrobat 9 and reinstalled this.
I have also uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and reinstalled Adobe Reader 9.
Before uninstalling Acrobat I also ran the updates but this didnt help either.
This is on a Windows 7 PC (64-bit)
Adobe Acroabt 9 Pro Extended
Microsoft Publisher 2010.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

MS Publisher 2010 is not supported by the Acrobat 9 Family; and the PDFMaker extension for Publisher has been removed completely from the Acrobat XI Family, so upgrading won't help either. Sorry!
See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html#main_ PDFMaker_compatible_applications

How to Create PR from exeternal SQL Server through IDOC

Dear all,

My scnerio is from external system(Sql) want to send data to sap to create PR return PR No to SQl Server
Not having idea how to do
Basic Type for Idoc : PREQCR01
Message Type : PREQCR
Function Module : BAP_Idoc_Input1
Thanxs in Advance

if you have XI installed,
than it would be easy,
just use JDBC channel->XI->SAP IDOC.
otherwise,
you can export the table from the SQL to CSV file,
and import it with LSMW with IDOC PREQCR01.

OLAP data from MS SQL to Oracle

Hi,
I am currently using Microsoft SQL server 2000 as our datawarehouse with Analytic services(OLAP data).
We are thinking of migrating to Oracle 10g. By using Migration Workbench, will it migrate my 3 dimensional data(OLAP) from MS SQL to Oracle (OLAP) ?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Ian Ho

This could happen if you are using improper LKM
So depending on your source and staging database you choose the corresponding LKM
for example:
If you are using MS SQL Server as your source and Oracle database as the staging database, then you should be using lKM SQL to Oracle

This needs the user to have access on all_objects view and it will limit the result upto the numbers of objects returned by the all_objects view.

Extract data from XML file to Oracle database

Dear All
Please let me know, how to extract data from XML file to Oracle database which includes texts & images.
Thanking You
Regards Lakmal Marasinghe

I would do it from the database, but then again, I am a database / PL/SQL guy.
IMHO the database will deliver you with more options. I don't know about "speed" between the two.

Steps to create Universe without using Fact Table

Dear All,
i am confronting with a problem by creating an Universe.
The problem is that we do no have any fact table.
Could you please explain the steps for creating an universe without fatc table?
Thanks
Pat

The first thing to do is identify the tables in your schema that contain measures. These will be your base tables for contexts.
Then identify all the tables that relate to each of your candidate fact tables.
You may identify two related tables, both with facts in, which would give you a fan trap.
Say you have a schema with only three tables and they are related as: T1 -< T2 -< T3
T2 and T3 both have measure columns.
What you would need to do is create an alias of T2 (AT2) and join it to T2.
You would then have two contexts, T1-< T2 , T2-< T3 and T1-<T2, T2- AT2
For objects from T2, derive the dimensions from T2 and the measures from AT2.
Beyond that, it's fairly standard.
If you have a data schema it is going to be much easier for you.

Error creating Universe from BW query

Hi
Creating the Universe connected to BW query (BI 7).
Connection is proper and universe designer is connected to BW system without any problem. I have already used many queries to connect to universe and webi documents has been developed.
The only difference in this BW query is, it is using hierarchy with 'derivation type' in 'select hierarchy date'.
BW query is working as expected in BEx designer.
This is the error message when trying to create the universe from BW query -
Error getting dimensions for cube <infoprovider name>/<query name>(catalog <infoprovider name>): Unknown error when executing MDX
Product name : SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Client Tools SP3
Please respond how this can be resolved.
Thanks
Sreedh

Sreedh,
I was wondering whether you could resolve this error?
Would appreciate if you can convey the resolution.
I am getting the same error - ( BOE XI 3.1 ).

Error Message from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

I have problem editing the views that I created. I never have this problem before and I don't know if
I have touched something on the pane that alters my viewing on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. For example, if I want to edit the top 200 rows of my view called dbo.sl_admission_reg9, it will give me this error:
Invalid prefix of suffix characters (MS Viual Database Tools).
Please help.
Thank you very much.
Sally

Are you trying to edit the top 200 rows of a SQL Server 2012 database using the 2008 R2 SQL Server Management
Stud? If so you just need to upgrade SQL Server Management Studio to 2012 or edit the rows using a SQL query.
