Can't see the ESS Additional Personal Data link within Personal Information

Hi All,
For some reasons, I can not see the Additional Personal Data link within the ESS Personal Information iView. I have checked the Homepage framework and the existence of the iView in the PCD and everything appears to be fine.
Do I need to assign any additional infotype to my id or give myself specific authorisations to see this link?
I would really appreciate if you could provide an answer to my query.
Thanks,
Vibhu

Hi,
I think mostly you have maintained the data in PA30 Transaction and had data in Info type 0105.
After this try to check with your EA-HR patch and SAP HR patch in the services. If both are not maintained at the same patch levels such type of problems will occur.

Issue using data link in XML Publisher

Dear All,
I am new to XML Publisher, for the first time trying data link concept in XML Publisher tool. The issue is very simple, I have two queries Q1(say it fetches sales_order_number, application_name ) and Q2 (say it fetches sales_order_number , error_number, error_description). And sales_order_number is passed as input using data link to Query Q2 from query Q1 and Q2 will retrive more than one row for a given sales_order_number.
Say for a given dept_name 1001 the output will be something similiar like
Q1:
SO# | Appl.Name
1001 | 'Invoice '
Q2:
SO# | Error.# | Error Desc
1001 | 1512 | No Data Found
1001 | 1513 | Invalid Entry
1001 | 2674 | Error while inserting the record
and the query which I have used in XML template goes like this
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select sales_order_number, application_name
                  from T1
                 where sales_order_number = :in_sales_order_num]]>
</sqlStatement>
<sqlStatement name="LINES">
<![CDATA[
select sales_order_number , error_number, error_description
from T2]]>
</sqlStatement>
<link name="Dummy_LINK" parentQuery="Q1" parentColumn="sales_order_number" childQuery="Q2" childColumn="sales_order_number" condition="="/>
</dataQuery>
<daraStructure/>
And the grouping is as follows
<group name="G_Q1" source="Q1">
     <element name="sales_order_number" value="sales_order_number"/>
     <element name="application_name" value="application_name"/>
<group name="G_Q2" source="Q2">
     <element name="sales_order_number" value="sales_order_number"/>
     <element name="error_number" value="error_number"/>
     <element name="error_description" value="error_description"/>
</group>
</group>
And in the RTF template I have properly used <?for-each:G_Q1?> <?for-each:G_Q2?>- --
<?end for-each?><?end for-each?>
Ideally the header (Q1) should have one row and the lines (Q2) should have 3 rows. But the issue here is even Q1 produces 3 rows.
If in case Q2 has 4 records, then Q1 also plots 4 records in the report output. Hope I am explaining the issue correctly. Any help to resolve the issue would be a great. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Antony.

try like this
<?if: (TYPE='A') or (TYPE= 'B')?><TABLE STRUCTURE><?end if?>
or
<?if:contains('A~B', TYPE )?><TABLE STRUCTURE> <?end if?>

Convert data link between one query's group and another querys group to SQL

Hi
I have a report where there are 2 query Groups. These 2 query groups r linked by data link. How do i combine these queries to One query so i can use it as a SQL query.
Thanks

Hi,
Assume that we have two queries Q1 and Q2 and the common column between the two queries is "comn".
Now we can convert the datalink into SQL as follows:-
SELECT *
FROM
(Query for Q1)a,
(Query for Q2)b
WHERE a.comn=b.comn(+)
Note: "a" and "b" are alias names for Q1 and Q2.

Can Data Links be established between Data sets based on View Objects?

Hi all,
In the BI Publisher Documentation it's given that Datasets based on view object queries do not support Data Links / Group Links. We found out that only way to establish relationship between view object Datasets is to create a view link and then upload it to create a Dataset.
1. Is there any other way to establish relationship between view objects Datasets in DataModel editor itself just as in the case of data sets based on (SQL queries e.t.c.)?
2. If so can View object Datasets be linked to Datasets based on other Datasources?
3. Will the Datalinks for View object Datasets be supported in any of the upcoming releases. Is there any ER logged for this case?
Any insight on the above issues will be really helpful.
Thanks

Enhance the data source with date and time and populate these fields in the user exit using the function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP .
OR
You can create Z function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP in BW side and write a routine in update rules/transfer rules to populate date and time.
hope this helps ...

BPC 7.5NW External Data Links

Hi All u2013
This question is in regards to a BPC 7.5 NW (SP8) input schedule stored in BPC with externally linked MS Excel 2007 spreadsheets stored outside BPC.
I have built an input schedule (which is stored in a team folder) and linked external excel spreadsheets into the schedule. My EVDRE is in Sheet1. Sheets2 u2013 5 contain the links to my non-BPC workbooks.
My problem is that when I use the u201CSend and Refresh Schedulesu201D u2013 u201CActive worksheetu201D, multiple windows pop-up for updating the links in the non-active (external data linked) worksheets. Does anyone have a better way to link data external to BPC in a schedule or report? If not, is there a way to stop these pop-ups?
Thank you!

Hi,
Can you try as follows:
workbook options> Refresh Options> Check EVDRE : Refresh by Sheet.
Hope it helps..
regards,
Raju

"Exception Processing Message" error when clicking the Accessing Server Data link on the start page

When I first started the application, I click the Accessing Server Data link on the start page. I immediately got the error "Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c in a dialog box titled "Windows - No Disk". I had to used Task Manager to remove the box after closing Flash Builder 4. I then tried the video tutorial on "PHP Services in Flash Builder 4". I keep receiving an error during service introspection trying to connect to the PHP class. It was the same error as the other individual "Cannot Connect to PHP Service". So I tried another tutorial and generated a sample PHP class. I moved a datagrid on to the stage, droped in the getAllItems function, and configured the return type. However, when I ran the app, I received the same error "Exception Processing Message" again. I have attached the screenshot of the error in addition to my phpinfo and log files.

"The exception process message" is definitely a issue. Is it happening consistently, if so can you file a bug at bugs.adobe.com/flex and give out your machine config details, and the error log.
With regards to generating a new php file and the introspection error that you are getting, looking at the logs it probably is two fold.
First off the name of the file and the class name should be the same, are you having employeeServices as the name of the class in employeeServices.php file.
Second, It seems prior to generating this new file, you had a syntax error at line 5.
It would be easier to figure out what the error is, if you can also attach the php file, by removing any sensitive information in that.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hi, This is Dai.
I'm using Oracle DB.
When I try to create configuration of Identity Center and to config DB connection, Data Link Properties wizard doesn't display required DB provider.
The document of "SAP NetWeaver Identity Management Identity Center Getting Started" discribes that I should choose "Oracle Provider for OLE DB", however, I can't see it in the providers list.
The list of DB provider is below.
Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Indexing Service
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider
MSDataShape
OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Service
And I want to select "Oracle Provider for OLE DB". Are there any settings or configs before this configuration? If you have some information, please help me.
Best Regards,
Daisuke Ikari

Thank you, I installed 32 bit client. And it's working now

I have also attached the screenshot for the same below, I also ran update-mxmc.cmd to update DB.But still same error.

Creating a manual data link

Using Oracle Report Builder 10g(Report Builder 9.0.4.2.0), and trying to create a manual data link between two queries. But the problem is that whenever I create a manual data link between two queries my report builder shutoff with this message ârwbuilder.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created"
Thanks in Advance...

Mohsin,
I am using 9.0.4.0.33 and never faced this kind of problem. Did you install any patch?
Are you modifying existing report or creating a new one?

Why do I get the symbol data link in the query_name of the data model

If I use an inline subquery within the SELECT of a data model query, the symbol data link appears in the query_name of the data model.
This causes the data link between two queries not to be used even if there is an existing link between the two. The trace file doesn't
have that join condition and so the child query in which the inline subquery was added fetches many redundant data.
Any idea what that symbol represents and how to get rid of it. It also appears during other times, not only when we use inline subquery
within a SELECT. Not sure if it can cause any harm to the report.
The problem is seen in Report Builder 6.0.8.19.0. Not sure if the problem is with other releases also.
Any suggestions are welcome.

I am living with the symbol in the query box as well, because my report only has a single query. My query also has several inline subqueries. I had never seen this before last week, spent a day re-reading the manuals and couldn't figure it out.
My post is not a solution, but a "me too" echo that could use an answer.

Excel Error When Using Microsoft Data Link

I   have   a   user   who   is   running   the   following:
Windows   7   w/64   bit   OS
MS   Office   2010
SAS   9.3   Software
They   created   a   database   in   Excel   and   have   integrated   the   information   with   SAS   9.3   database.
For   some   reason,   now   when   they   try   to   'Refresh'   data   in   the   Excel   spreadsheet,   Excel
freezes   and   then   crashes.
I   believe   it's   because   the   'Microsoft   Data   Link'   is   failing,   during   set-up.    Below   are
the   error   messages   they   get,   when   trying   to   set-up   the   'Microsoft   Data   Link'   with   the
SAS   9.3   software:
ERROR   MESSAGES:
1.   Microsoft   Data   Link   Error:   Test   connection   failed   because   of   an   error   in   setting   the

No.
2.   Microsoft   Data   Link:   Test   connection   succeeded   but   some   settings   were   not   accepted   by
the   provider.
I   don't   know   where   to   begin   troubleshooting   this   issue,   as   I   don't   use   the   SAS
9.3   software,   nor   have   I   ever   attempted   to   use   the   'Microsoft   Data   Link'   option   in
Excel.
TROUBLESHOOTING   I'VE   TRIED:
Repair   of   MS   Office   2010
Uninstall/Reinstall   Excel   2010
Any   assistance   would   be   appreciated.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did this issue occur with other database program? Such as Access, SQL sever or other?
If the Excel still crashes, I recommend we collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do further troubleshooting. You can try to analyze dump by
yourself if you would like to：
How to analyze app crash dump file:

Also you can send them to us via Email ([email protected])
If the issue occur with the SAS 9.3 software, I recommend you connect it's provider or support to get more help.
Did you
use 'Microsoft Data Link' like this?
If it was, we may need to debug the connecting string, you can post the question to Visual Studio forum.
Hope it's helpful.

DATA LINK

I am using 6i reports. Need your help in developing a Group left report.
I join 2 queries (Q1 master and Q2 detail) thru a data link.
The report is showing the master information even if detail is not available. I want to print master record only if corr. details are available.
What should I do ?
Thanks for your time

hello rekha
this is described in building reports manual ...
short desciption is: make a summary column in master group counting num of records of your detail group reset at key columns and then add a format trigger on master frame whith condition when number of details = 0 then return false ...

How to use a data link file (UDL)

Hi,
several times I developed applications using Crystal Reports 2008 which used a data base on my development PC and when I deployed them on a production server I had the problem to change the Data Source Location to reflect the new Server name and SQL Server Instance. Moreover, this had to be done on the server, because CR 2008 check the new data source location when you change it, and because I was not connected to the server I couldn't do it on my development pc.
I thought that the data link file was the solution to this problem, meaning that CR2008 could use a data link file (UDL file) as a data source location, so when deploying the reports on the server I had only to point the data link file to the new server instance.
With my surprise, I have seen that when using a data link file to define the data source in CR 2008, it copies the definition found in it, instead of using it at run time. SO when I deploy the reports on the server I still have the same problem to change the data source location for all the reports.
Perhaps I didn't understand the data link file use. So, how do I solve the problem of using a data source location that can be valid when deploying the reports on a server?
Thanks

Hi Antonio,
Go to our download page above, there you will find samples to test with:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples
Or to .NET samples: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375 [original link is broken]
Find any of them that sets database location/log on.
