Transfering data from External SQL database to BW

Hi Experts,
 I am trying to extract data from an External SQL Database in BW using
 DB Connect.
 1. I have created a DB Source System.
 2. Using this Source System I have generated a Datasoure.
 ( following all the naming conventions for Table Names and Field Names)
 Till this point everything is OK.
 Then I assign a Infosource and try to upload the data into PSA.
 The process is never complete and I am getting a message
 Request still running
 Diagnosis
 No errors could be found. The current process has probably not finished yet.
 System response
 The ALE inbox of the SAP BW is identical to the ALE outbox of the source
 system
 and/or
 the maximum wait time for this request has not yet run out
 and/or
 the batch job in the source system has not yet ended.
 Current status
 No Idocs arrived from the source system.
 please help me.
thanks
arshad

please first tell me which wich user you connect and the exact name of your table/view: is it dbo.table?
as I said, better create a user in your SQL, log with this user and create a view.
in RSBDC select this view and generate datasource. Check if you see data.
if yes, the load shouldn't fail.
We came across the same issue: login with sa, accessing a dbo. object; seing the data in RSDBC but nothing loading...
let me know
Olivier.

Transferring data from external hard drive to new replacement Macbook Pro...

Hello,
Apple have arranged to give me a replacement Macbook Pro due to faults with hardware on the one I am currently using. I will be going to pick up the replacement Macbook Pro tomorrow morning.
As a complete novice I just wanted to check that I have backed up the data from my current laptop onto my Iomega external hard drive properly, as I am slightly nervous about losing all my work and not being able to transfer all my files onto my new Macbook Pro tomorrow.
I did a back up using time machine earlier today which took quite a long time and seemed to go successfully. Is this the right thing to have done to save all data from my current laptop onto the external hard drive?
Will transferring data from the external hard drive onto my new Macbook Pro be a simple task?
Will I have to reinstall all my software such as Logic and Pro Tools? Also will my preferences and settings for music software be changed?
I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Deena

Well it's like this.
If your problem on the Mac didn't affect the software or the TimeMachine backup, then restoring from that using SetupAssistant (when you first set up a new Mac it will ask you to restore) should go fine.
HOWEVER, if there are software issues on the Mac that also transferred to the TimeMachine drive, that will only transfer them back onto your new computer.
You can't very easily just pick out the things you want to restore from TimeMachine with, it doesn't give that fine detail of control, and if it's really messed up, it might not restore anything at all.
The golden rule of backups is to maintain two separate and easily accessible hardware copies of your data off the machine at all times.
Since you don't know for sure if the TimeMachine restore is going to work as intended, and your only other source is going to disappear, I'd advise a additional backup of your Music, Documents, Pictures and Movie folders etc., to another regular external drive via regular drag and drop copy methods.
The operating system and programs can all be reinstalled from fresh sources on the new machine, provided you have the AppleID and password, license codes for your programs, email passwords and any other necessary information to re-establish the license on the new machine.
(In some cases licensed software HAS NOT transferred to a new machine with a TimeMachine restore and had to be reinstalled)
Some times you have to contact the developer or "uninstall" the licensed program so it sends a signal to their servers that the program has been removed, else your license code may not work on the new machine.
You might decide the new machine would be better off with a fresh install of your programs that you know are 100% compatible with Lion etc., leaving a lot of older stuff you installed over the years off the new machine, if you restore from TimeMachine, you don't have this option. You pretty much get all the crap along for the ride,
If your new machine gets all crapped up, then restoring Lion is going to going to be a tough challenge, as you need a strong reliable Internet connection to download a fresh copy of Lion from Apple servers (no more disks). Once you do that, then somehow you have to use third party software ($$) to cherry pick your files out of TimeMachines trap. More headaches than you anticpated, and likely a charge by a specialist.
So I'd advise another hard drive with a copy of just your files, just in case a crap-up occurs
You can restore Lion yourself if it craps up, install programs from fresh sources as you know how to do, use the old license codes and then return your files manually exactly back into their same Music, Pictures, Documents, and Movies (etc, not Library) folders as before.
The key to this manual method is to make sure to use the same user name as before, so all your file location data pathnames retained by program files like iTunes to where the songs are located on the drive, are matched. Once you open these programs and restablish the links in OS X, then you can move them around.
Some tricks, if you use iPhoto, you can right click "show package contents" and inside is a folder with your Originals, copy that out and you can reimport your pictures into the new iPhoto Library on the new machine.
So use TM if you dare, but prepared to do things manually is my opinion.
TM restores have not been all that reliable or dependable, the more messed up your machine is, the worst the restore seems to be.
Good Luck

Folder missing after transferring data from external hard drive

Hello.
I have a big problem and I hope somebody can help.
I transferred 350gb from my SAMSUNG external hard disc to my new Macbook Pro, in order to format it (my external hd) and configure it for Mac as I wasn't able to delete anything off of it, which bugged me. So I did it and everything seemed ok.
Then I formatted my external hard disc and everything was erased from it.
Then, problem begins: One day after, I realized that one folder is missing from the 350gb that I transfered day before, which is very very very important for me.
I tried to recover files from my external drive with a program called StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery and it did recover everything except for that folder! I tried to find it with Finder and I had no luck. I tried both name of the folder and also the names of the files that folder contained. No luck either. I also tried to list files in Terminal and again, no luck. For some reason, only that one particular folder (that is the most important for me!) is missing.
What could be the problem?
Folder's name contained some German letters and dashes and I was thinking if this maybe caused Mac changing its name and maybe moving it somewhere without me noticing it? Or it's hidden for some reason? Or it's gone forever?
Please help, any idea is much appreciated.

Reading/Writing Data from a SQL Database

Hi,
I have a data structure called 'Quote' which contains a number of different variables and controls ranging from text boxes, check boxes and radio buttons, i need to be able to read and write this from a database.
First I think a description of my overall project is needed:
Project Description
I have been given a brief that basically says: i have to create a programmed solution in VB to solve a problem. This problem can be anything we like, and I personally have chosen to create a program that manages quotes for building Log Cabins (this is very contrived and far from anything someone would do in the real world).
My solution will allow a generic user to create a quote (using a form with controls such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons) , and then save this to file. These users may then wish to load/edit this quote at a later date, from another form.
Whilst completing this project, i'll only have up to about 5 records (quotes) within the system, so i dont need the ability to store hundreds of records. And each record will be relatively short, with only about 10-15 data items within the data structure.
Also the Admin (or business owner in this case) need to be able to view all saved quotes in a presentable format, and edit them if needs be, from within this same program.
This solution does not need to be absolutely perfect and 100% efficiently coded, or have all the bells and whistles a real-world program would have. This is for an A level computing project by the way.
So basically, i need to be able to read from the database (to populate a Data Grid (i imagine this is best way?)) and so Admin can access any quote and edit it (editing is not vital, but viewing/printing is. Maybe i should stop at just viewing any quote?). Also i need generic users to be able to fill in the Edit Quote form and then save this data into the database.
And is a data structure really required for me to use a database?
I've never used databases in VB before (but have used them elsewhere, mainly Access) and so am completely new to this. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

this is just a dataset i created using the dataset designer.
OK, so i have the dataset called "MyDataSet".
I also have the following variables:
Code Snippet
Dim FloorSpace As Int32
Dim NoOfBedrooms As Int32
Dim NoOfBathrooms As Int32
Dim EnSuites As Int32
Dim LuxKitchen As Boolean
Dim LuxCabin As Boolean
Dim Flooring As Boolean
Dim VoiceLighting As Boolean
Dim SolarPanels As Boolean
Dim IntegralSound As Boolean
Dim WindowFrames As String
Each of which relates directly to a column in the dataset (data type matches too).
What i need to do now, is to save these variables as an additional record in MyDataSet. And then save MyDataSet to file, so it can be loaded again next time the program is run and more additional records added. (all files are local by the way).
how would i go about this?

Is it possible to migrate WebCenter Portal data from a SQL database to an Oracle database?

We have our WebCenter Portal applications set up using a SQL database. Now we're wanting to migrate to an Oracle database and I'm wondering if that is possible.

Yes it should be possible though i have not tried it myself. You basically export a file from mds ( xml) and import it into oracle db.

Transferring data from MS SQL Server to Oracle through Oracle's Stroed Procedure

Hi,
I need to access 3 tables of MS SQL Server database through oracle's Stroed procedure.
Is It possible? if yes how to do?
is there any way of accomplishing this?

Yes. Using Attunity Connect native drivers for Oracle. Attunity Connect drivers are also licensed and resold by Oracle under the name "Oracle Transparent Gateways" or "Oracle Eterogeneous Services".
The OEM Oracle driver are "light" ones. The Attunity drivers are more complete. Consult www.attunity.com

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Transfering Data from SQL Server 2 Oracle

Hellow All,
Even the subject is not here, but i'm trying to transfere data from SQL Server to Oracle 8 (8.0.6) .. using the Wizard that ships with MS SQL Server. All Connections (ODBC or OLE DB) are alright, but still have problems in moving Data .. and Failure.
Failure in Data Movement and not in Table structures.
I have tried using most of the Valid and consistent ODBC and OLE Providers from Microsoft & From Oracle... but still have problems.
Even The Oracle Migration Assitiant from Access 97 dose not work properly.
Any commenets please ???

Anil,
OMWB has an inbuilt collision manager, that will check for conflicting words and aptly replaces them with an alternative word.
OMWB also allows users to change these words once you finish performing capture. In this particular case, when you capture the view with the name 'rule', you can go to the oracle model in omwb and change the name to "rule1" or anything that is desirable, preferably those words that do not conflict with the oracle d/b's reserved words.

Reading data from Sybase SQL Anywhere 7 database to write into a SQL Server database

Hi,
I need to import data from a Sybase SQL Anywhere vers. 7 database. This RDBMS was used more 10-12 years ago. I want to write Sybase data into a SQL Server 2008 R2-2012 database. For testing purposes I'm using SQL Server 2005.
After that I've installed Sybase SQL Anywhere vers. 7 I can use the Adaptive Anywhere 7.0 ODBC. I'd like to use SSIS to import Sybase data, but I cannot create an OLE DB connection in a right manner while I can create and ODBC connection manager and so I
can use an Execute SQL task (and not a data flow task, unfortunately!).
Well, after using this Execute SQL task to read fe a table with thousands of data rows how can I write the entire data collection on a SQL Server table?
Thanks

Error while loading the data from excel to database.

Hi,
I am using PL/SQL developer to load the data from excel to database. I will set the data source in the control panel and will proceed through ODBC importer in pl/sql developer to import the data.
What exactly the error is when i click the filename to view the result preview it shows an error as:
The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
Kindly help with solution.
Thanks/Regards
Sakthivarman J.

Hello;
That error message comes from Microsoft, so something in you Excel sheet is the cause.
Its a pain but I would check properties of each column in case Excel decided to add something, a comma for example.
Do you have a column over 255 characters? Look there first. If any length is greater than 255 it will crash and burn.
Or convert it to a CSV and create an external table.
Best Regards
mseberg
Might also throw an 3163 as an error where you cannot see it.

Querying data from External Source from FORMS

I have a form that is built based on Oracle tables.
But I need to get data from external Data source from within Forms and use it fro validation.
I need to execute a Select statement via ODBC from within Forms procedures. This is going to a SQL Server DB to get some information.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi
What version of forms do you use? If you use forms 6i, take a look at the EXEC_SQL package. You can access oracle databases and ODBC databases (using OCA) independently of the main database connection -- well, I never tried but that is what the documentation says.
I am not sure about version 9i... the package is there, but I could not find anything in the help about it (what is not a good sign...)

Extract data from Solution Manager database

Hi,
I am investigating the possibility of using SQL to extract alert data
from the Oracle database directly.
I have looked in the database to find the tables which would provide
such information, and I have found some promising tables.
But I need to understand how the data is stored in the Solution Manager
system, I see that once the solution manager application is started it
pulls the data from the CCMS alerts on the remote systems. But that
data needs to be stored somewhere. Can you tell me if it is buffered in
an internal table or a structure.
Is it possible to use the SAP tables to produce such a report, or which
BAPI's can I use to extract the data.
Thanks
Chris aka BoobBoo

Hi Chris:
If you want to interact with the Alerting data, you should use the XAL External Interface for Alert Management.
You can find the additional information and also the XAL BAPI guide in SAP Service Marketplace under System Monitoring.
Hope this helps!

APEX Application accessing data from two different databases

Hi All,
Currently as we all know that APEX Application resides in database and is connected to the schema of that database.
I want APEX Application to be running and accessing data from two different databases. Elaborating my question,
Currently, my APEX Production Application is connected with XXXX Schema of DB1 Database(Where APEX Resides). Now I want to add some pages into this APEX Application for REPORT Purpose, But I want to connect this REPORT APEX Pages to get data from Different Schema YYYY for Database DB2.
Is it possible to configure this scenario?
The reason for doing this is to avoid the REPORT related (adhoc queries) resource utilization effect on Production DB1 Database.
Thanks
Nil

1. If you do the joining of two or more tables in DB1 then all data is pulled over to DB1 and then the join is executed: so more data over the databaselink and more work for DB1. Better keep the joining stuff where the data resides and just pull exactly that data over that you need.
2. Don't know about your different block sizes. Seems a nice question for one of the other forums (DBA or SQL).
3. I mean create synonyms on DB1 for reports VIEWS in DB2.
