Timestamp as DataSource selection

Hi all,
I have created a generic data source with some timestamp fields as selection fields. I can see them in RSA3, and it works fine.
However after replication, I do NOT see these fields as selection fields in BW. I tried to flag another field in the data source as selectable, and this field can be seen in BW, but not the timestamps.
Is timestamp not possible to be used as selection field? But why can I see it in RSA3?
Thanks!!

HI Wang,
The reason for unable to see a delta specific feild in BW selection is that, the data source is already using this for selecting the delta records and hence we cannot again do a selection on the same feil.
So, its like this. Any feild can do only one among these, either selection for loading from BW or delta specific feild, where system on its own uses for delta identification.
Hope its clear.

How to incorporate File name and timestamp automatically into select and save file dialog box?

Hello,
i am trying to incorporate the file name which is inputed by the user along with the timestamp into the selected and save file dialog box. Can you help?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can pass a default file name to the 'File Dialog' Express VI.
Use the 'selected path' output to open the file.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

SSIS and timestamp comparison for selection

Hi all.
I have a situation I do not understand how to fix.
I have two tables - one to store settings and another one the store some data.
My SQL Server is of 2008 R2 version.
My Visual Studio is of 2008 version (I tried to work in VS 2013 with SSDT of the latest version installed - all the same).
The data table has a column of timestamp data type.
I'm using the timestamp column as determinator and I put max value of the timestamp column in the settings table after my process completes.
Then I need to get that stored value and select from the data table only records which timestamp value is bigger than one stored in the settings table.
What do I do to reproduce the situation.
I created SSIS package.
I added new variable of string data type, called it "LastTS".
Then added new "Execute SQL Task", entered "SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), LastTimestamp) FROM Parameters", mapped result set to User::LastTS variable.
Then I added new "Data Flow Task".
In that task I added "OLE DB Source" and entered "SELECT c.ProtocolType, c.[Timestamp] AS StatusChangeTime FROM Command AS c WHERE c.[RowVersion] > cast(? as binary(8))" and mapped its resultset for next processing.
Everything is ok.
Now I start my package.
My LastTS variable gets its right value.
But my "OLE DB Source" fails with message as follows:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".
What is the problem?
I found a lot of answers like "you can use string variable to work with timestamp data" but nothing helped.
What should I do to resolve my problem?

IT worked fine for me. Here's a complete package:

How to remove timestamp,when i select calendar date(input Controls)

Hi everyone
I am using webi 4.0
My problem is when i select calendar date(input Controls) i am able to display time stamp along with date in input Controls(MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00 AM)
i want to change (MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00 AM) to (yyyy-MM-dd ), when i select calendar date(input Controls)
where is the calendar date(input Controls)' format setting??
i dont want to show the time stamp in calendar date(input Controls) as my users dislike to see that timestamp .
Thanks & regards

Hello,
Can you show us the declaration of the internal table rec?

Time Lag using Timestamp - Generic Datasource

Hello,
I have a generic datasource running in production now. It uses the timestamp for the delta.
Currently the delta runs twice a day - once around 7 am and then again around 1 pm.
I have the upper limit set at 1800 seconds (30 minutes) and no lower limit however when I looked today at the 1 pm pull, the last set of records was pulled up to 9 am. I was surprised. I thought it should have been closer to 12 noon.
This data is constantly updated in ECC - for example. In a 30 minute window, the record count started at 1,966,206 and jumped to 1,966,297.
Has anyone else experienced this lag time? If so, how did you handle it.
I heard from one person that it could be because the application server time is different than the local time of entry. If that is true, how could I resolve that?
I would just like the deltas to bring in the data closer to the time of the pull.
Thanks for any insight.
Lynda

seems to be working correctly in production.
1800 seconds - 30 minute pulls via timestamp

ODBC data sources not showing up in datasource selection list

when I go to change datasources for a report, newly created ODBC connections do not show up. I noticed they are all in the odbc.ini file and listed under ODBC in the machine directory/software folder in the registry but not under the current user/software/odbc registry folder. Where does Business Objects/Crystal reports cache this information?

OK, then how do I set up a connection pool for a SQL Server database? At some point, I have to configure a connection pool. In the Call Interface dropdown, isn't ODBC the proper choice? Then, in the Data Source name dropdown, I should get some entries, right?

SharePoint 2010, SP1 + April 2012 CU: SQL 2008R2 SP2: SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode.
N03L.

Hi N03L,
As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by the original account that was used to create the *.rdl files and the data connection library was removed from SharePoint. So we encounter the error message that “System.NullReferenceException:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” In this scenario, we can download the *.rdl files and delete the existing ones. Then modify their data sources using Report Builder and upload them back through an existing user account in SharePoint site.
Or we can add the original account to the Members group again.
The following thread about the similar issue is for your reference:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

F4 help for timestamp on selection screen

Hi experts!
I have this code in custom ALV report:
selection-screen: begin of block b1 with frame title text-t01.
DATA: w_aux_sc_created_at like ztable-sc_created_at.
SELECT-OPTIONS s_sc_c02 for w_aux_sc_created_at.
Ztable-sc_created_at is COMT_CREATED_AT_USR (data element)
COMT_CREATED_AT_USR is standard data type (DEC, lenght 15) domain COM_TSTMP --> UTC Time Stamp Short Form (YYYYMMDDhhmmss) (Output sy-zonlo)
Ok, I would like to show a calendar for select date in my SELECT-OPTIONS custom ALV report like MATCHCODE OBJECT.
A lot of thanks in advance.
Best regards.

thanks you for your answer but I fixed it.
I created a select-options in date form (with F4 help) and I convert it to timestamp for my select sentence.

Select statement for export with timestamp

Hi!
Im planning on doing an export of a DB based on its date. But I only want to export tables that have a timestap and are newer then >31/12 2006 and all the other tables (that dont have a timestamp). But I lack the experience of PL/SQL.
Can anyone help me in the rigth direction? Below are a small start
BEGIN
IF timestamp.EXISTS THEN
select * from Regards
PL/SQL newbie

If you want to export in order to be able to import in a Oracle database:
if your Oracle version is >= 10, then you should try to use Data Pump export (expdp) with QUERY parameter.
if your Oracle version is <= 9, then you should try to use export (exp) with QUERY parameter.

If I want to order by dateAdded to I have to include it in the select statement like

If I do this:
<cfquery name="chart" datasource="#datasource#">
select behaviourID,score, dateAdded2 = convert(varchar,
dateAdded , 101)
from staff_charts_data
where userID =
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> AND
NOT score = 5
</cfquery>
If I want to order by dateAdded to I have to include it in
the select statement like so:
<cfquery name="chart" datasource="#datasource#">
select behaviourID,score, dateAdded2 = convert(varchar,
dateAdded , 101),dateAdded
from staff_charts_data
where userID =
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> AND
NOT score = 5
</cfquery>

you should be able to order by dateAdded without it being in
the select clause. The only time the order by field has to be in
the select clause is when your query has an aggregate and group by
clause, like this:
select field1, field2, max(field3) as youralias
from sometables
where whatever
group by field1, field2
order by ???
You can only order field1, field2, max(field3) or youralias.
You can't order by field4.

BW Metadata is incomplete error while generating datasources using CTBW

The variant configuration datasources were created successfully in development system and BI side works fine in dev.
We moved the VC datasources to our Quality system. Since our QA system client (500) is different from development (100) ECC system, I need to change the client number in QA ECC (as 500) and regenerate VC datasources using CTBW tcode [based on OSS note 588184].
I used the following steps in QA ECC system
go CTBW tcode in QA ECC
Changed the client number from 100 to 500 for the VC datasource
Selected the VC datasource row and then click on Characteristics
Click on DataSource -- got the error "BW Metadata is incomplete"
Not sure what is reason for that error message, Please advise if I am missing any steps.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your quick response.
We have same issue as mentioned by Sudheer.
We don't have QA 500 client number in our Dev system, I can't generate the VC datasources in DEV.
I can't change the tables in CLBW_SOURCES in DEV to include 500 as we don't have it.
Let me know if this works for me
I am asking BASIS to open QA 500 client so that I will make CLBW_SOURCES table entries change (from 100 to 500) and then re generate the QA VC datasources.
Then load the data into SAP BI.
My another question is even if we are successfully, we have another development box (similar to the first dev box) and another Quality box say Quality 2 (900 client, same as Quality 1), do I need to ask BASIS again to open Quality 2. Also what about production box..?
It would be great if we can change it in first dev box so that we can move across these changes to different boxes.
Thanks again

Adding a field in data selection tab of Info Package

Hello,
how can I add a field for selection in the data selection tab of the info-package in BW 3.5.
Thanks,
SD

Hi,
You need check Selection in RSO2 in ECC then that field is available for Selectgion in InfoPackage.
Here I'm giving 0CUST_SALES_ATTR DataSource Example for Selection Change, so see the logic and accordingly you can change your DataSource Selections.
See the properties of that field in RSA2 in ECC and you can also make it for selection, use the following program and see it.
In ROOSFIELD table give the datasource 0CUST_SALES_ATTR and see , select only Active version Fields.
For the following fields you can find FIELD = X, it indecates that it is abailable for selections, so in this way you try to do it by using following program and check.
KUNNR
SPART
VKORG
VTWEG
REPORT ZBI_ROOSFIELD NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING .
tables ROOSFIELD.
Update ROOSFIELD set SELECTION = 'X' where
OLTPSOURCE = '0CUST_SALES_ATTR' and
FIELD = 'FAKSD '.
Also see SAP Note : 1033847
Re: Field Selection in Datasource 0CUST_SALES_ATTR
Thanks

How to get count and other field in one select

Hi,
I am try to get total rows and some fields in two separate select:
1. select count(id) into totalRows from mytable m where m.cat = 'CSV'
2. select m.id, m.cat, m.updateTime from mytable m where m.cat = 'CSV'
(all rows in mytable are distinct base on id field)
How can I combine them into one query to make it faster so that no need to compare the m.cat field twice?
Thanks.
David

Here's one solution :
SQL> desc test;
Name Null? Type
ID NUMBER
CAT VARCHAR2(10)
UPDATE_TIME TIMESTAMP(6)
SQL> select * from test;
ID CAT UPDATE_TIME
1 XYZ 09-JAN-04 09.04.17.000000 AM
2 CSV 09-JAN-04 09.04.31.000000 AM

5 CSV 09-JAN-04 09.04.53.000000 AM

7 CSV 09-JAN-04 09.05.06.000000 AM
8 GGG 09-JAN-04 09.05.17.000000 AM
7 rows selected.
SQL> select id, cat, update_time

Unable to have field in selection screen of Infopackage

Hello Gurus,
I have a small problem,
I am unable to bring on field in selection screen in Infopackage,
even thou the object is ticket in DataSources selection option,
I have noted that the object is of type DEC is it something to do with,
Or is their any other way to have this object in selection screen of Infopackage,
Please help me on this,
Thanks & Regards,

Bhanu its field type is DEC thats why its not coming in selection screen in Infopackage .This is a big problem in our Development as this field is SPRIO(Procurement Priority) and we want to restrict this field with conduction SPRIO EQ 1.
Our DataSource is based on Infoset , Bhanu is it possible to restrict this Field in Infoset writing some code. As their is option in Infoset for CODE we tried this but didnt work.
or any other way to restrict this field with 1.
I really appreciate your reply.
Thanks Once again.

Problem with Datasources

I Guys I am new to BW, I activate a Datasource in RSA5, but when I try to replicate in BW I cannot see it, Do I have to create a Source System for R3 for this to work. I went to SM59 and create a RFC pointing to the Client I want to extract the data.
Thanks You in Advance.

Hello ,
Please use the below procedure :
1- Go to Transaction RSDS and enter your Data Source name and Source System ( you can check your source system if it is already available )
If your source system is available, then goto datasource table and select replicate data source .
Another Option :
,Go to transaction SBIW in the source system choose Business Information Warehouse-- Business Content DataSources --Transfer Business Content DataSources
Select the nodes in the application component hierarchy for which you want to transfer DataSources into the active version..
Alternative you can Go to Data Warehousing Workbench. Transaction RSA1
Select the Datasource tab--select your application component --and right click --replicate meta data .
Now if you have not connected with Source system first ask your Basis Team to make connection between R/3 source and BW system .
If this task you have to do then follow the instruction given in below link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ac/4a4e38493e4774e10000009b38f889/content.htm
