Sybase datasource via DBconnect on BW 3.1

Has anyone any experience on using DBconnect to integrate a Sybase 12 database as a new datasource?
If so, any hint on how to make it works as sybase is not mentionned as possible datasource in the SAP DBconnect documentation on:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/biw/s-u/transferring data with db connect.pdf
I am working with BW 3.1 so I guess that the new JDBC base module called UDconnect is not compatible with a BW 3.1 ?
thanks for sharing your experience,
David

Is you done this connectivity.
I am also facing same problem. we have bi 7.0 on Oracle database and need to connect sybase non-sap database as source system.
which db connection tool is used for same dbconnect or udconnect. As per DB connect sap information is not support the sybase database.
if you done the same connectivity, please share.
Regards,
Ravi

Datasource via function module

Hi,
I am building a function that is due to be used by a Datasource (via Function Module).
This function uses table WDRD. It applies to this table a code that needs the use of an internal table for the calculation (for intermediary calculation storage). After which, I want to get the result of this internal table (say T1_DATA), and return it to E_T_DATA, which will be used to fill my datasource. This is where I am stuck.
-> When I try to get the content of my internal table in my cursor (code: OPEN CURSOR WITH HOLD S_CURSOR FOR
select * from T1_DATA
endif.),
I get an error message stating the table is not defined in the ABAP dictionary.
-> When I try to avoid the cursor and put directly the content of my table T1_DATA in table E_T_DATA, I don't get anything in my Datasource.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pierre

Hi,
Which structure are you using??
Are you using the same old structure for this function module as well.
Have you enhanced the structure with new required fields.
New extrac fields needs to be added to existing structure if you are using the same or create a new one and make sure that you have all the fields in the structure which you are going to use in the data source.
You need to take care for the append as well and the issue could be in the code as well.
Make sure you have written the proper code and just for the new fields done an append
Thanks

Datasource via JNDI vs Driver Manager

I am really desperate to use Datasource for connectivity to Oracle (rather than using the driver manager) in my little J2EE app (no EJB) on IBM WSAD 5.0.
I have some example using DB2 datasource via JNDI.
I replaced the properties with my Oracle database parameters.
as below
userid=scott
password=tiger
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:library
driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
lookupName=jdbc/library
database=library
There is an object "DB2DataSource" coming from package COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2DataSource in the example code "CreateDatasource.java" I am using to create the data source.
I have added JNDI.jar(from oracle), Naming.jar(from WSAD home), nasmingClient.jar(from WSAD home) in to the project.
By looking at Oracle manual we need import com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource; and
com.evermind.server to get initialContext.
But compiler cant find them.
Can anyone tell me what is the equivalent in Oracle?
Thanks
Mei

Hold on.
This is what I think. There will be others here who might be able to build to this and provide you the solution.
All that you need to do is
1. Add the Oracle driver to the WebSphere classpath.
2. Use the Admin Console / WSAD screens to create a JDBC Driver for the Oracle Driver.
3. Create a datasource within this driver. There is step-by-step documentation on how to do this.
4. Specify a JNDI name for the datasource.
5. Lookup the DataSource and cast it to a DataSource object.
6. Call getConnection method to get a connection.
Your coding portion is only steps 5 and 6 above.
Steps 1 through 4 needs to happen in the Admin Console / WSAD tool. I have done it in both the places before and it is a fairly straightforward process. You do not need any of the jars that you are mentioning below or need to do anything special.

Remapping datasource via SetDataSource not working

Post Author: pvkannan
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Our team is using Crystal Reports for .NET -- VS 2003.
We have a report that is connected to an Access DB on a network drive via a DataSet object. The path to the access mdb changed but we see that the report is still trying to look for the mdb file in the previous network path. We would like the datasource to be reset at runtime to the new location.
Here is the relevant code:
/* Create a new instance of the report object */
rrInfoReport = new RRInfo();
/* Create an OLE Connection to the Access MDB located in the network drive defined in the config file. */
OleDbConnection oleConn = new OleDbConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["QISConnectionString"]);
string queryString = String.Format("SELECT * FROM [MASTER - REWORK] WHERE [ID] = ", rrNumber);
OleDbDataAdapter oleAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(queryString, oleConn);
QISData dataSet = new QISData();
oleAdapter.Fill (dataSet, "RRQuery");
/* Reset the datsource to the location as defined in the config file */
rrInfoReport.SetDataSource(dataSet);
reportViewRR.ReportSource = rrInfoReport;
reportViewRR.RefreshReport();
oleConn.Dispose();

Hi Bob,
You stated that you designed the report against the access database itself correct?
Are there usenames and passwords required to access the db?
What looks like is happening is if you designed the report against the database instead of against an xsd file (which if you are using datasets should be done) then it has the access info stored so just hits it and pulls all the data.
Try outputting the schema of the dataset and do a set location in the designer to the xsd instead of the access db then try passing the dataset.

BW Datasource and DBConnect with Oracle - Error while Loading Data

Hi,
I have made a DBconnect to Oracle Db and made a datasource for the same.
When I do R Click - Additional Properties - Select Database table - and select one table/view and do"Display Table Properties"
I am able to see the data/records.
After generating the datasource for that table/view and making Infopackage on the same and executing it I get the
following error
"System Response
Caller 09 contains an error message."
"Unknown error while uploading data from the DB table"
"Error in Source System"

SAP BI 4.0 SP2 on Linux and Postgresql Datasource via JDBC drivers

Hi,
I installed SAP BI Platform 4.0 SP2 on Redhat 5.2 and i try to access as a universe datasource a postgresql database (v8.4). But i don't know how to configure the postgresql JDBC driver on linux server.
does anyone have a step by step procedure to configure this JDBC postgresql driver on linux ?
I download this driver : http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc3.jar
I read the SAP Data Access document for SAP BI 4.0 SP2 about JDBC connexions, they talk about a SBO file located in $ROOT_DIR/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/jdbc , but there isn't any SBO file for postgresql database ?
Thanks in advance
JP

Hi
I found a solution alone, this note 1347514 helps me :
My conf : Redhat 5.2 + SAP BI 4.0 SP2 + postgresql 8.4 datasource + jdbc drivers
My solution :
1) Download JDBC drivers on client side (http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc3.jar)
2) Create and export a JDBC connexion for postgresql8
3) Create and export a universe using this connexion (test a query in universe design tool tools/Querybuilder)
4) install JDBC drivers on server side, i copied the jar file in this location : $ROOT_DIR/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/drivers/java/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc3.jar
5) Set your classpath in your .profile : CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/export/logiciels/tes-boxi/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/drivers/java/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc3.jar; export CLASSPATH
6) Source your .profile
7) Restart servers (i think restarting only webi server would be ok)
8) Open BI LaunchPad, start Webi and execute a query on postgresql universe
It Works with my configuration
Thanks for your help

SSRS report with PowerPivot datasource - 401 Unauthorized

Hello together,
I have a tricky issue and hope that you can help me:
Problem: I want to build a Reporting Services Report with a PowerPivot datasource with Report Builder 3.0. When I try to access the datasource via Report Builder I get the error: The remote server returned an error: 401 - Unauthorized.
The PowerPivot file lies on a Sharepoint 2013 with Kerberos authentification.
Logs: Here are some sample log entries after getting the error:
Token Cache: Could not find SPSite for 'sharepoint.com/_vti_bin/PowerPivot/secureredirector.svc/?DataSource=sample.xlsx'.
Exception trying get context compatibility level: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The site sharepoint.com/_vti_bin/PowerPivot/secureredirector.svc/?DataSource=sample.xlsx could not be found in the Web application SPWebApplication Name=sharepoint.com.
Non-OAuth request. IsAuthenticated=True, UserIdentityName=0#.w|user, ClaimsCount=118
Notes: I tried some solutions from the internet, where the web.config from PowerPivot has to be changed. Also I saw that it could be Kerberos related, but no detailed information where to start as the other features are working fine. SPNs
and Delegations are configured. And changing to NTLM is not an option as this is a multi-server platform.
I hope that you have another idea, where the problem could be.
Kind regards,
Robin

Has noone an idea?

Remote access of InitialContext via JMX client

Hi,
I'm not sure if i'm the right place here for posting my problem, but I don't know where to put it otherwise.
I'm trying to access a JBoss datasource via JMX. The JMX code and datasource code is both placed inside a WAR file that is deployed in Jboss 5.1.
When I access the datasource from a servlet, it runs oke but when I try to run it from jconsole I get a classnotfoundexception.
The code where I register the MBean is:
MBeanServer mbs = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
try
ObjectName mbeanName = new ObjectName(OBJECT_NAME);
Test mbean = new Test();
mbs.registerMBean(mbean, mbeanName);
catch (Exception e)
//handle
The code where I get the exception is:
Context initContext = new InitialContext(jndiProps);
The exception is:
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory]
These are my JNDI props:
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099
Any ideas?

OK - I found another thread dealing with the problem at hand.

Customer Statement Report converted from PLD to CR - extra datasource issue

Hi All,
We've come across an issue where we have used the Crystal Converter to convert a PLD layout of the Customer Statement (Collection) Report to a CR layout (done via CR 2008 using the 8.8 standard integration).
The layout converted fine and we've got most standard fields working and showing the correct values etc. However we had a requirement to also bring in the Original Document Amount into the layout (which is not a standard PLD field unfortunately!) and we had to do it via an extra datasource based on a pretty straightforward view we created in that company database - which contained columns CardCode, DocName (which was the transaction type + number e.g. IN 12345) and of course, DocTotal.
We then added the datasource (via ADO connection) and linked the DocName to the Reference field that is already present in the standard layout and contains the same data as our cutom DocTotal - and remarkably, this actually produced the correct results - i.e. we managed to get the Original Document Amount to appear in the lines of the statement together with the open invoice balance, reference, posting date, due date etc - however this seems to affect the other areas of the layout - and we lose the header and footer information completely; whilst retaining only the lines level information.
We've tried a few things such as linking the CardCode to a header field as well but it doesn't seem to bring the rest of the layout back. So in a nutshell, as soon as we bring that extra field in from the added datasource, we get the correct original document amount appearing in the lines but that's all we see in a print preview - the line level data of the statement. The header and footer information disappears.
And here is the big question - any thoughts on this and has anybody experienced a similar problem in an integrated CR? We think it may possibly be due to the extra datasource - perhaps the 8.8 - CR integration doesn't know how to handle the additional datasource AND it's own standard datasource (which is referencing the PLD fields) properly yet?
Thoughts please because I'm sure this will turn into a common issue sometime soon.
Edited by: Mohsen Qureshi on Jul 2, 2010 11:04 AM

Hi Mohsen,
Perhaps you are able to help me.
I have successfully converted the SAP system 'Customer Collection Report (One Page per Customer)' PLD into Crystal using the Crystal converter. I now run my customer ageing report in SAP, however, when i print preview the Crystal layout, the "detail" section of the report repeatedly displays the "text" label of each field. I'm assuming this is because the system PLD for the collection report, does not use database fields for the detail/repetetive area - instead it uses text fields to pull through fields such as document no etc etc.
I would have throught that a crystal conversion from an untouched system layout would have worked, but it hasn't.
My question - Did you have to perform any additional work to the crystal report after the conversion?
Any suggestions or tips on how to get the system would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
George Kantzavelos

*Newbie needs help* Datasources not getting picked up with Standalond OC4J

Hi,
Apologies if this is an ultra thick question, pretty new to this J2EE malarkey.
I have a Web App that I've developed with JDeveloper 10.1.3. It is connecting to 4 datasources, via JNDI.
When I run the application with the embedded OC4J server it find the datasources (stored in data-sources.xml) no problem. However when I package up my web app into a WAR and deploy it to the StandAlone OC4J server, it doesn't seem to pick up the datasources.
The DataSources.xml file lives in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/data-sources.xml
Can anyone give any pointers on where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
Mark

Hey,
Thanks for replying.
I package it as a WAR file (I meantion this in the post above, but I could not be understanding what you mean by how do you package it")
I'll try packaging it as an ear file.
Cheers for your help

Problem in updating datasource in 3x flow

I have a 3x flow and made the datasource via infosource. Transfer rules are made but the problem is that
when i try to modify the datasource for flat file inclusion (path of ff) it is not taking and is showing that i have to come through transfer rule maintenance interface. I am getting this.....kindly help

Hi,
Since you are using the 3.x dataflow, make the changes in the appropriate infosource in RSA1old. Then save and activate the infosource. This should do the trick.

Connection to text datasource fails with REP-4100

I built a Report with text datasource; doing like the "how to" document tells:
(set up the textpds.conf, attach text datasource to the report)
I use the file:///&<p_file> user parameter to define the datasource file and location like described in this reports forum
"Dynamic name for Text Pluggable Data Source".
Using report builder everything works fine; I can change the location of text datasource via user parameter as I need.
Porting the report to production environment (unix) and using the rwservlet the Report fails.
REP-4100: Failed to execute data source
java.lang.NullPointerException
Has Anyone an idea how this can resolved?
Thanks a lot
Jost

Just found the solution myself:
I need to pass the &<p_file> parameter value without "file:///"
only "C:/myhomedir/text.txt"
or "/usr/home/myhomedir/x.txt" on unix platform.
Parameter passing via URL also works.

How to export an InfoObject as a DataSource

Hi, Gurus,
Would you please help me get answer for the following question? Thanks.
1. How to load master/text/hierarchy data from one IO into another IO? Once in IO's master data/text tab, I assigned application component to this IO, then I could find the related datasource via T-code 'RSA6', however only Text/Hierarchy available in RSA6, even I select the checkbox 'characteristic is export data source', I still can not find the related master data source in RSA6.
2. I double click the item listed by RSA6, when back, system log always tells me that 'Application component DM-IO of Datasource 8XXXX doesnot exist', and even I rename the related application component to the correct assigned application component, system still prompts this warning, so how to fix it?
3. When I want to assign this BW server as the source system to one InfoObject, I can not find the datasource which is listed in RSA6, so how to fix it?
And when I generate the export data source on one InfoCube, I also can not find the related datasouce when I assign Source System (this BW server) to another InfoCube? So please help me on this.
Thanks
ls

answer to your question no:1
As you figured out by enabling a characteristic as an export data source will create datasources of itself in the myself BW system. In your case you are unable to see the master data ds - have you enabled master data for this infoobject??? I assume you have enabled only text and characteristic for this object in the infoobject maintenance screen.
answer to your question no:2
The generated ds in RSA6 is under node DM-IO which in turn is under "Nodes not Connected". Create a new node DM and move DM-IO under this new node, save and exit. Come back to RSA6 and you should not have this problem reappear again.
answer to your question no:3
go to source system connnection. click on myself system, replicate datasources and you should find the export ds of your infoobject! i assume you know how to connect it to another infoobject from there...
i assume the final question that you posed is related to question:3. Replication of myself system should do the trick...
cheers...elango

Oracle connect failed on x64 and IA64 platform via Oracle OLEDB provider

Hi everyone,
I installed SQL Sever on x64 and IA64 machine, and Create a database via Oracle datasource. I can connect the datasource via OLEDB and .Net provider successfully on x86 machine. But failed to connect the Oracle datasource on x64 and IA64.
Following is the error messgae:
1) Install 64 bit build on x64 machine:
Error message: Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. ORA-06413: Connection not open.
2) Install 32 bit build on x64 machine:
Error message: Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
I know there is a know bug on c:\Program Files (x86)\... with Oracle provider. And some one has given a workarround method that I should move my my application out of the the folder path which includes parentheses. But it really is mess method for SQL Server (That is my application)......
Is there any other workarround method? Or when will Oracle fix this bug?
Thanks^_^
Lindsay

Is 10204 available for x64 and IA64. It is said that there is only 10204 for x86 machine, right?
I downloaded 10203 for IA64 machine and tested connection on SQL Server with Oracle datasource via Oracle OLEDB provider, and got the following error (The data source is Oracle92 installed on another machine):
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
Could you please tell me what's wrong with it?
