Using import script to read data from another location

Hi,
I need to find a way to import, in one location, the data of all other locations (with some additional transformations) using an integration script.
I think I should be able to read from the recordset returned by farsTable, but I need to know how to find the table name that contains the data from my other locations.
Thanks in advance,
Julien

First you will need to read the tpovlocation table to get the location key and segment key for each location to be read. You can then either read the relevent tdataseg(index) table where the index is the segment key from the location table, or alternatively you could try to access the data from the View (which i think is Vdata) in which case you you will not need the segment key.

Reading data from another database

Hi Folks!
I need to read some data from another non-sap system database to validate something in R/3. Does this is possible. If it is possible how could this be achieved?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Gilberto Li

There are a couple of ways to do this. One, you can create an executable on the other non-sap system that you can call from SAP as a system command. So let us say you write a unix script that takes a value as input and returns a flag as output. Within the script you will check that value against this non-sap database. In SAP, you will create a system command in SM69 and then execute it in your program via function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
Alternatively, you can use the RFC route but you need to setup RFC connection between the two systems.
You can also bring this validation table into SAP as a one time or periodically updated table and then do the validations within SAP.

Hi experts, how to use open sql to read data from one " maintenance view"?

i want to use this part of data within report ,so how to use open sql statement to read data from one " maintenance view"?

Hi
You can't use OPEN SQl statements to fetch data from maintenance view
You have to use only Database views
see the different types of views and the difference
The followings are different types of views:
- Database View (SE11)
Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set.
In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.
- Help View ( SE54)
Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.
When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.
- Projection View
Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
- Maintenance View ( SE54 )
Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.
Please have a look at below link. It will help you.

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

Reading data from another clients network connection

I would like anyone who know to direct me to some resources for how one could write code that can read data from a port without "binding" to it. In other words, I have an application running on windows talking to a server. I want to monitor that conversation with a separate java application. This is a simple sort of a firewall.
Is there a java api available, or a part of a package that can do this? So far, I have only seen information on binding to a port, which prevents the client from running at the same time as my java application.
Thanks very much in advance.

The simplest way to implement this is to create a proxy. The client connects to your proxy and your proxy connects and forward all data. Montioring this is then trivial.
You could snoop the network, but I don't know and easy way to this in Java. Perhaps google has something.

Shell scripts to read data from a text file and to load it into a table

Hi All,
I have a text file consisting of rows and columns as follows,
GEF001 000093625 MKL002510 000001 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001
GEF001 000093625 MKL003604 000001 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001
GEF001 000093625 MKL005675 000001 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001 My requirement is that, i should read the first 3 columns of this file using a shell script and then i have to insert the data into a table consisting of 3 rows in oracle .
the whole application is deployed in unix and that text file comes from mainframe. am working in the unix side of the application and i cant access the data directly from the mainframe. so am required to write a script which reads the data from text file which is placed in certain location and i have to load it to oracle database.
so I can't use SQL * loader.
Please help me something with this...
Thanks in advance.

1. Create a dictionary object in Oracle and assign it to the folder where your file resides
2. Write a little procedure which opens the file in the newly created directory object using ULT_FILE and inside the FOR LOOP and do INSERTs to table you want
3. Create a shell script and call that procedure
You can use the post in my Blog for such issues

Syntax error in reading data from another DSO

Hi all,
I have written a end routine to read business area from another dso the code is as follows.
DATA:lw_c_wa type tys_TG_1-BUS_AREA.
    LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE ASSIGNING -BUS_AREA = lw_c_wa-bus_area.

i am not able to debug this.
Pls any input on this.

Try to debug using DTP. (Goto DTP ---> Execute Tab ---> Choose processing mode as "Serially in Dialog Process (For Debugging).
Or goto transformation -

Reading data from another cube

Hi All,
I have a cube, lets say with 6 fields. I am getting the data for the 1st 3 fields directly from R/3. I have the data for the remaining fields in some other cube. Now, I have to get the data for the remaining 3 fields from 2nd cube based on the 1st 3 fields.
I know that this is possible but I am not sure how to do this. Can someone let me know the steps to do this.
Best Regards,
James.

James
u can follow the method suggested by dinesh with the help of ABAPer.
There is also few another way. Let me tell you how.
First way :
declare source cube as a export datasource.
create update rule for target cube from source cube and update only required fields.
cons: this method will unnecessarily consume more database.
remedy: u can use multiprovider for reporting which will pull data from all possible required cubes.
Second way:
u can use one infosource to fed several cubes at the same time. With this u can update only required fields into another/target cube.
This procedure will increase loading time as infosource is feeding to several data targets.

Using Field symbol to fetch data from another program

I have a requirement where i need to fetch value of a field from one of the function pool so i have written a sample progam to check the logic but its doest seems to work its giving dump.
Basically i want to know how to use <programname><fieldname> with fieldsymbol.
REPORT ztest1.
DATA test(25) VALUE 'ggg'.
submit ztest.
report ztest.
constants: lv_memory(25) type c value '(ZTEST1)TEST'.
field-symbols: <fs2> type char25 .
assign (lv_memory) to <fs2>.
write : <fs2>.
I am getting same field symbol assignment dump

Hi Rahul,
You can use this concept in between the FUNCTION MODULES where both are
under same FUNCTION GROUP ( as both the FM's have same global memory area ).
And also if you are calling an FM or method from your program ,you can have the data of the calling program in that called FM or METHOD.
Hope this may help you.

How to read data from analog input and export it to a file using Components Works

I've made a simple application (Delphi 5 using the activeX) that read data from analog input channel 0. After I read the data, I want to export it to a file using the Components Works on a 6035E NIDAQ. (I'm not using labview and don't want to use it)
How can I do that???
Regards,
Francis

Here's a sample code to do this...
P.S.: If you read only one channel this code won't work.
function MyFunction: Integer;
var
Low, High, i, j, ChannelCount, RowCount: Integer;
Po: P;
begin
//you are reading multiple channel
ChannelCount := VarArrayHighBound(Buffer, 1);
RowCount := VarArrayHighBound(Buffer, 2);
for i := 0 to ChannelCount do begin
for j := 0 to RowCount do begin
WriteToDisk(Buffer[i, j]));
end;
end;
end;

Adobe offline form with capablity to read data from a local data base.

Hi ,
We have customer requirement for a offline Adobe form which will be used by Sales rep, this form when saved to the local hard disk is required to read data from another local data base available in the laptop and prefill a few fields in the form .
Is this requirement technically feasible using Adobe forms?
Thanks
Srikanth S

Well may be it's possible because if you go to the Data View in ALD and create a new Data Connection --> OLEDB database --> Build --> It gives you various options for connecting to different DBs but frankly speaking I have never tried it.
Check the ALD help for more information on the topic.

Select query to read data from a view

Hi friends,
We have been using a query to read data from a custom view which used to work perfectly. Now the program sits at that select query forever. We are able to extract same data from se16. Not sure what could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Dev
Have a look at the Table Index for the tables involved in the View... I think there is some change in the Indexes.. (Add / Remove / Change)
Thanks

Error reading data from Infocube using shell script.

Dear all ,
I am facing a problem while reading data from an infocube using a shell script.
The details are as follows.
One of the shell script reads the data from the infocube to extract files with the values.
The tables used for extraction by the shell script are :
from   SAPR3."/BIC/F&PAR_CUBE.COPA"     FCOPA,
       SAPR3."/BIC/D&PAR_CUBE.COPAU"    COPAU,
       SAPR3."/BIC/D&PAR_CUBE.COPAP"    COPAP,
       SAPR3."/BIC/D&PAR_CUBE.COPA1"    CCPROD,
       SAPR3."/BIC/D&PAR_CUBE.COPA2"    CCCUST,
       SAPR3."/BIC/D&PAR_CUBE.COPA3"    COPA3,
       SAPR3."/BIC/D&PAR_CUBE.COPA4"    COPA4,
       SAPR3."/BIC/D&PAR_CUBE.COPA5"    COPA5,
       SAPR3."/BIC/MCCPROD"      MCCPROD,
       SAPR3."/BIC/SCCPROD"      SCCPROD,
       SAPR3."/BIC/MCCCUSTOM"    MCCCUSTOM,
       SAPR3."/BIC/SCCCUSTOM"    SCCCUSTOM,
       SAPR3."/BIC/SORGUNIT"     SORGUNIT,
       SAPR3."/BIC/SUNIMOYEAR"   SUNIMOYEAR,
/*     SAPR3."/BI0/SFISCPER"     SFISCPER, */
       SAPR3."/BI0/SREQUID"      SREQUID,
       SAPR3."/BI0/SCURRENCY"    SCURRENCY,
       SAPR3."/BIC/SSCENARIO"    SSCENARIO,
       SAPR3."/BIC/SSOURCE"      SSOURCE
The problem is that the file generation by this script (after reading the data from teh infocube) is taking an unexpected time of 2 hours which needs to be maximum 10 mins only.
I used RSRV to get the info about these tables for the infocube:
Entry '00046174', SID = 37 in SID table is missing in master data table /BIC/MCUSLEVEL2
Entry '00081450', SID = 38 in SID table is missing in master data table /BIC/MCUSLEVEL2
and so on for SID = 39 and SID = 35 .
Checking of SID table /BIC/SCUSLEVEL2 produced errors
Checking of SID table /BIC/SCUSLEVEL3 produced errors
Can you please let me know if this can be a reason of delay in file generation (or reading of data from the infocube).
Also , Please let me know how to proceed with this issue.
Kindly let me know for more information, if required.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi ,
In continuation with searching the solution to the problem , I could manage to note a difference in the partition of the Fact table of the infocube.
Using SE14 -> Storage Parameters, I could find the partition done for the fact table as :
PARTITION BY: RANGE
COLUMN_LIST: KEY_ABACOPA
and subsequently there are partitions with data in it.
I need to understand the details of these partitions .
Do they correspond to each requests in the infocube(which may not be possible as there are 13 requests in infocube and much more partitions).
Most importantly, since this partition is observed for this onfocube only and not for other infocubes, it is possible that it can be a reason for SLOW RETRIEVAL of data from this ionfocube( not sure since the partition is used to help in fast retreival of data from the infocubes).
Kindly help.
Thanks for your co-operation in advance.
