Using D&B Data (Dun & Bradstreet)

Hi,
D&B delivers company data as offline databases. It is not clear to me if Data Services is able to read the D&B ofline databases using one of the default interfaces. Has anyone used D&B data within Data Integrator/ Data Services? What interface is needed to read D&B data from its online database?
thx
Helmut

Dun & Bradstreet credit management functionality

Hello experts,
My client wants to use Dun & Bradstreet credit management functionality, we are currently on SAP version 4.7 highest support pack SAP_APPL SAPKH47025.
How can I find out more about this product?
How much does it cost?
Where in SAP service marketplace should I request this?
How to go about implementing?
etc
Kind regards Steve D

Dun & Bradstreet, D&B as they are known are a credit agency.
They rate Companies. They review the Company Accounts, turnover, way the pay and produce credit limit recommendations.
You would need to contac them as to their cost.
How can you use them in SAP?
Well you can have an online facility where you down load their data and upload it to credit masters, FD32. Normally here you will need their DUNS number linked to a credit master and it will update the credit score and potentially the risk category.
As you have 4.7, you could chose to go with FSCM and the Credit Management processes that offers. it has a different link into D&B but you need to work out if the scoring you use for C/L creation, approval and change is just from D&B or internal rules are used as well.
lastly you need to consider if you will apply to the D&B on an adhoc basis, customer by Customer which is cheaper than them feeding you the data everytime they change their ratings.
please award points if useful.

Any company that is going to call me like telemarketing and try to sell me things:"We just wanted to see about completing your background check and taking your D&B credit out of pending unverified status and make you a complete registered legal business!"me- you are welcome to do that but I will not pay for it.D&B "You don't want to have your credit profile with the business complete?me "My business credit is reported in more than 1 place than D&B and if someone is interested in checking my business documents they can go to the state website for free they don't need D&B reports to tell them I'm a registered business and I certainly don't need to spend the money for you to tell me I am a registered business... further more Equifax and Experian have a business credit report for my company that is available and more widely used for the type of credit I apply for and it's FREE!D&B "okay then I'll mark your file that you don't want to complete it and we will continue to send out the incomplete information" Makes me want to reach through the phone and... I feel like im talking to a collection agency not a company that is for me! they are like BBB, full of fraud.

Hi,
those content are industry figures and statistic which s company can buy to Dun&Bradstreet or Nielsen.
SAP BW is providing preconfigured business content for this data.
One company could buy data and measure its results with its competitors.

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

I am using the big date calendar template and when I submit it to apple for printing I lose the name of two months. These names are not text boxes. I see the names when I send it in but something happens during the transmission to apple. It was suggested

I am using the big date calendar template in iPhoto. I am on Lion 10.7.2, macbook air. The names of the months are on each calendar page but something happens when I send the data to Apple. The names are part of the template. They are not text boxes. I lose two names on the calendar after it is sent to Apple. Apple suggested I make a pdf file of my calendar before sending it in and check to make sure every name shows. I did this with a calendar I just sent in. The calendar was correct. All names of the months were showing. After sending the data two month names disappeard because when it arrived by mail, it was incorrect. Apple looked at my calendar via a pdf file and it was incorrect. This is second time this has happened. I called Apple and they had me delete several folders in the Library folder, some preferences and do a complete reinstall of iPhoto. I have not yet remade the defective calendar. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
kathy

Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

Bursting using a Concatenated Data Source

Greetings,
I am trying to burst a report using a concatenated data source. I have a bursting SQL query set up that works fine, but I am unsure how to handle the "Split By" option. I have a data model that pulls data from multiple queries, like this:
DETAILS_A
select * from table_a
where payee_id in (:p_payee_id)
DETAILS_B
select * from table_b
where payee_id in (:p_payee_id)
So, if I choose to "Split By" Details_A_Row/Payee_ID, then the data from Details_A is split appropriately, but the reports I generate don't split the information from Details_B properly. I end up with reports where one payee has information for another payee from the Details_B data source. How can I specify that the report should also split/filter the info from Details_B?
To put it another way, what I'd really like to do is go through a list of parameters (payee IDs in this example) and generate a report for each parameter. Is Bursting the most effective way to do this?
From searching the forums, it seems like I might be able to accomplish this using Data Templates as my Data Model instead of SQL Queries. Am I on the right track with that? If so, you guys have any helpful links on how to create Data Templates?
I am using BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4
Any help is appreciated!
Martin

Is it possible to use an XML Data Template to create a report in APEX?

Hi,
I have created an XML Data Template in BI Publisher passing one parameter and running two queries, then created an RTF Document Template to present the data.
I can create a nice report in BI Publisher using the two elements. I have used RTF Document Templates to publish reports in APEX but the data comes from a Report region running a single query.
I would like to run a report based in this kind of XML Data Template, in order to use several children queries related to a parent query. Is it possible to do it in APEX, or you have to use BI Publisher?

Hi,
I have the similar question. I used data templates in BI Publisher but now I want to use the same data template in Apex to print some reports.
I tried to some examples but these were only using report queries. I also tried with the Web Service but this didn't work for me either maybe because I didn't
used it in the right way. When I used the WS I received the binary of the report so the WS worked it was just the how and where to use it that didn't work for me.
Now this older entry is BUMPED maybe we find a solution for our problem this way.

I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

How to use multiple Spry Data Sets in one page

I'm using two spry data sets in one page. When I add the first spry data set to my page everything runs OK, When I add the second spry data set to the page the first data set stops working. Does anyone know what the problem is?
This is how I have my data sets listed.
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("/accounts/tower/list.php", "list");
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("/accounts/tower/numvisits.php", "chart");
Thanks, let me know if you need more information.

Good News!
There is nothing wrong with what you have shown.
Bad news!
The problem could be in that part that you have not shown.

HT2731 Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?

Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?

If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.

How do I use hotmail via Blackberry services and not via phone network so not using up my data?

Hi,
I have a new Blackberry 9360 and am having trouble with it. They said in the shop that I can access my yahoo mail without using up my 250mb of internet data, so can access it using the Blackberry services rather than the internet. I can't work out how to do this and can only seem to use the email through the internet where the messages come into my 'Messages' on the 'Home' screen, therefore I'm using up my data every time I open an email message when it comes in.
Can anyone please help me as I'm wishing I could go back to Nokia at the mo!
Many thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
They gave me the impresssion in the shop that I could access my existing yahoo hotmail, send and receive messages on it for free via the BlackBerry services and not use up my data allowance and they didn't mean the Blackberry email which is a different thing. Have they misled me with this?
Many thanks for any advice.

How to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer

Hi,
         Does anyone know how to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer? To make my question clearly, I would like to give you an example. In my application, I set "sample to read" as 10 which means at each loop 10 data samples will be taken into a buffer. Now, what I would like to do is to do some calculations on adjacent data samples in same buffer. I tried to use "shift register" for this, but it seemed to me that it only can deal with the calculation between data from adjacent loops. In other words, it skips 9 data elements and take the 10th one for the calculation.
         Here I also attach my VI showing what I did.
    Thank you very much in advance,
                        Suksun

Hi Suksun,
      I hope you'll forgive me for distilling your code - mainly to understand it better. I tried to duplicate your logic exactly - which required reversing the "derivatives"-array before concatination with the current samples array. As in your code, the last velocity is being paired with the first position. If first velocity is really supposed to be paired with first position, just remove the "Reverse 1D Array" node.
cheers

How can I be using so much data on my iPhone 5

How can I possibly be using so much data on my iPhone. I usually listen to Pandora for about an Hour each day I drive to work. So far (the first 8 days of my billing cycle I have used about 1 GB of data. According to Verizon's calculations I based on this usage I should be using a total of about 1.5 GB of data/month. I called both Verizon and Apple and received no resolution. Apple confirmed that the Phone's wifi shuts off WIFI when the phone is asleep. Resulting in the phone switching to LTE. Apple also indicated that apps that are in the background tend to use data as well. This still doesn't make sense. I had the same data usage pattern (Pandora) with my old 3GS and only used about 1GB/ month. There has got to be another solution. I refuse to believe that just using Pandora for about an hour/day for 5/days a week results in a GB of data usage. Any suggestions?

So, I thought itunes match (like Pandora) streams music from the cloud. I didn't think that the phone 'syncs' several times a day. I did notice a pattern between 11am-1pm data being used in the order of 29 mb yesterday, 42 mb the day before, and 43 mb the day before that. This is at a time when I know I am not using any significant data on my phone. Yesterday I even closed all my apps w/the exception of Pandora which I made sure wasn't running during the day. This additional usage can easily add up to the 100 mb/day i'm averaging.

Why is my iphone 5 using so much data, way more than I ever used before. How do I fix it?

I am using waaaaay more data than ever before since switching to an iphone 5. I have gone over my data plan in just a few days. I used 10g in 2 weeks and I hardly had it on. Help.

If you go to Settings > Cellular and look at "Use Cellular data for" each app will display the amount of cellular data used since you last did "Reset Statistics" on that screen. Also if you tap "System Services" at the bottom of that list of apps it will give details on system usage of cellular data. That may help you identify the culprit.
