Using ODI to pull data from IBM DB2

Has anybody used IBM DB2 as a data source for essbase using ODI ? If so, do you have any tips, pointers specific to this DB2 specific situation, or better yet reading resources aside from the DBAG ?

If you want to understand about the various knowledge modules and how to set up DB2 technology in ODI then have a read of :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integrate.1111/e12644/db2.htm#CHDBJIBH
Once you have extracted the source db2 data then you would just use the IKM SQL to essbase data with a load rule to load data into essbase, I have covered loading data to essbase in my blogs.

Use ODI to Extract Data from Hyperion Planning & Budgeting report to Excel

Hello
Can someone tell me please how to Extract Data from (Financial Reporting in) Hyperion Planning & Budgeting into Excel Using ODI?
Would the steps be the same as Creating an ODI Project and Interface: Exporting a Flat File to a Flat File? If not, why?
Best Regards.

Where do you think the financial reports get their data from? Financial Reports pull data from data sources such as Essbase, HFM.

Database.LoadDataSet() method throwing error while retriving data from IBM DB2 database

Database.LoadDataSet() method is throwing error during retriving data from empty table of IBM DB2 database. It is giving error code "SQL0100W".

How To Use OATS To Pull Data From DB And Insert Data Back To DB

Hi All,
My requirement is little different.
I'll explain the scenario,
I am working on OTM application, as far as I have read OAST supports OTM and already test scripts are ready.
My situation is as follows bellow,
I need to pull data of a field for 18,000 shipments.
I have an excel sheet in the format as bellow
Shipment_Number
Stop_Number
Planed_Arrival_Date
Planed_Departure_Date
1
1
1
2
1
3
2
1
2
2
I was able to write script in OATS so that it logins to OTM and searches for the specified shipment number and capture the Planed_Arrival_Date and Planed_Departure_Date for the specific stop.
But the problem is I am not able to save the date back to the excel.
Solution Expecting:
Some way to save the captured data back to excel.
Some way to save the captured data back to a column in a table. if this is possible then some way to make OATS reade the shipment number from a column in database.
Thanks,
Vishwamber Shetty

Hi Vishwamber,
Try using Datatable in OATS. Using datatable you can read and write to Excel.

Using AppleScript To Pull Data From Number & Create Calendar Events

Today I tried running an AppleScript that I created a few years back that works with Number ’09 [version 2.3 (554)]. The script collects information from the active numbers table and creats an event in my calendar for each row of data in the table. For some reason its not working with the current version of number.
Here is the script:
on run
set cr to ASCII character 13
set newline to return
local dName, sName, tName, rowCount, workingCalendar, maintenanceType
-- get general document information like document name, active sheet name, active table name & the number of rows in the active sheet
set {dName, sName, tName, rowCount} to my get_document_information()
-- get information needed to update a calendar in the calendar application like the calendar that needs to be updated and the type of maintenance that will be completed
set {workingCalendar, maintenanceType} to my get_calendar_update_information()
-- update calendar maintenance type so the computer can say it
if maintenanceType = "add" then
set maintenanceTypeChanged to maintenanceType & "ed"
set lastpartofsentence to "to calendar"
else if maintenanceType = "update" then
set maintenanceTypeChanged to maintenanceType & "d"
set lastpartofsentence to "in calendar"
else if maintenanceType = "delete" then
set maintenanceTypeChanged to maintenanceType & "d"
set lastpartofsentence to "from calendar"
end if
say "Events will be" & maintenanceTypeChanged & lastpartofsentence & workingCalendar
--determine if calendar already exists. If it does not create it
tell application "Calendar"
set allCalendarTitles to the title of every calendar
if allCalendarTitles contains workingCalendar then
--do nothing
else
create calendar with name workingCalendar
end if
end tell
set timedifferance to 4
-- get event information for each row in active table
say "table name is " & tName
repeat with rownumber from 1 to rowCount
tell application "Numbers" to tell row rownumber of tName to set {cell04, cell05, cell06, cell07, cell08, cell09, cell10} to {value of cell 4, value of cell 5, value of cell 6, value of cell 7, value of cell 8, value of cell 9, value of cell 10}
set cell07 to SearchReplace(cell07, "|", newline)
tell application "Calendar"
activate
if maintenanceType = "Delete" then
tell calendar workingCalendar to delete (first event whose summary contains cell04 and start date is equal to (cell05 + (timedifferance * hours)))
end if
if maintenanceType = "Update" then
tell calendar workingCalendar to delete (first event whose summary contains cell04 and start date is equal to (cell05 + (timedifferance * hours)))
tell calendar workingCalendar to set test to make new event at the beginning of events with properties {start date:cell05 + (timedifferance * hours), end date:cell06 + (timedifferance * hours), description:cell07, summary:cell04, location:cell10}
end if
if maintenanceType = "Add" then
tell calendar workingCalendar to set test to make new event at the beginning of events with properties {start date:cell05 + (timedifferance * hours), end date:cell06 + (timedifferance * hours), description:cell07, summary:cell04, location:cell10}
end if
end tell
end repeat
say "Events have been " & maintenanceTypeChanged
end run
on get_document_information()
-- Get general document information for later use
local d_name, s_name, selectedTable, t_name, row_count
tell application "Numbers" to tell document 1
-- get document name
set d_name to name
-- get sheet name
set s_name to name of active sheet
-- get table name
tell active sheet
set the selectedTable to (the first table whose class of selection range is range)
end tell
tell selectedTable
set t_name to name
set row_count to row count
end tell
return {d_name, s_name, t_name, row_count}
end tell
end get_document_information
on get_calendar_update_information()
local strCalendarToWorkWith, strMaintenanceType
tell application "Numbers"
activate

copy value of cell "C9" to strCalenderToWorkWith
copy value of cell "C12" to strMaintenanceType
end tell
return {strCalenderToWorkWith, strMaintenanceType}
end tell
end get_calendar_update_information

set theList to (every text item of sourceStr)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to (replaceString)
set theString to theList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to saveDelims
return theString
end SearchReplace
When running the script in the current version of Numbers [version 3.2 (1861)] I receive the following error message:
Here is what the table looks like:
Can anyone help me correct this error/issue?
Thank you,
Brian

The error ocurs right after it speaks the table name? The error is highlighting the suspect line in the first screenshot.
I think the "T" in the error is coming from the Table name, so try replacing the line in question with this mess
          tell application "Numbers"
                    tell document 1
                              tell active sheet
                                        tell table tName
                         set {cell04, cell05, cell06, cell07, cell08, cell09, cell10} to {value of cell 4, value of cell 5, value of cell 6, value of cell 7, value of cell 8, value of cell 9, value of cell 10}
                                        end tell
                              end tell
                    end tell
          end tell
NB original was
tell application "Numbers" to tell row rownumber of tName to set {cell04, cell05,cell06, cell07, cell08, cell09, cell10} to {value of cell 4, value of cell5, value of cell 6, value of cell 7, value of cell 8, value of cell 9,value of cell 10}
I don't know Numbers & Applescripting so you'll probably need to work on it some more, I gleaned the 'tell document & tell active sheet, tell table' from the script near the bottom.
http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/iwork/numbers/table-populate.html
It's a little unclear to me where the 'get document' info comes from, since you are not telling Numbers within that part.

One report to pull data from SQL or DB2

Hi Guys,
First post here. I have scoured the internet using our good friend google for answers and have come up empty. I hope someone can help me here!
Some Info: Crystal XI R2, Visual Studio 2005, Ms SQL Server 2005, DB2, VB.NET
What I am trying to accomplish is using one report to pull data from either SQL 2005 or DB2.
The problem I get is if the report is configured to pull data from SQL 2005, I cannot change it using the code below to pull data from DB2. The SQL Report uses the Microsoft OLEDB Provider. The DB2 report uses the IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDA400 OLEDB provider. When I quickwatch the oCRTable logon information, it seems to retain the other database's info.
Any ideas?
My code:
    Private Sub LoadRpt(ByVal rpt As String)
        Try
            Dim strReport As String
            Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            Dim rpt As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            Dim oCRTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
            Dim oCRConnectionInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo()
            strRptNm = String.Format(".rpt", rpt )
            strReport = String.Format("\{1}", Server.MapPath("Reports"), rpt )
            crReportDocument.Load(rpr)
            '   check to make sure report is loaded; if not, then do nothing
            If crReportDocument.IsLoaded Then
                oCRConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("DataBase")
                oCRConnectionInfo.ServerName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Server")
                oCRConnectionInfo.UserID = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Profile")
                oCRConnectionInfo.Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Password")
                For Each oCRTable In crReportDocument.Database.Tables
                    oCRTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = oCRConnectionInfo
                    oCRTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oCRTable.LogOnInfo)
                    oCRTable.Location = oCRTable.Location
                Next
                For Each rpt In crReportDocument.Subreports()
                    For Each oCRTable In rpt.Database.Tables
                        oCRTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = oCRConnectionInfo
                        oCRTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oCRTable.LogOnInfo)
                        oCRTable.Location = oCRTable.Location
                    Next
                Next
            ... other code ...
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            ... other code ...
        End Try
    End Sub

David,
Your suggestion worked to near perfection. The only problem was that if I configured the datasource locations of the report and sub reports in CR to use the SQL ODBC, the .net program would successfully log in using the DB2 info but had a problem reading the data. If I configured the datasource locations of the report and subreports in CR to use the DB2 ODBC, everything worked! Thanks for the advice.
The force is strong with you.

Hi VKMP,
As well as reading the documentation thoroughly the following note available in My Oracle Support may be useful -

Automated process to pull data from a web page without using VS and PS.

Hello,
I'm looking at finding a solution to pull data from an external web page and creating a list. I'm looking for a NON-POWERSHELL AND NON-VISUAL STUDIO solution. I am open to using InfoPath Designer.
There exists a custom, non-SharePoint page built for us which has raw data. We've already created a custom list to match the data and now need to come up with a solution to automatically update the data. In this particular scenario, power shell and visual
studio cannot be used.
Thanks in advance.

Why would you cripple yourself and restrict PowerShell at the very least which has perfect functionality for doing exactly that.
I doubt you could use the InfoPath data sources to pull the raw data in, re-map it and save to SharePoint without resorting to some sort of coding within InfoPath.
Please ensure that you mark a question as Answered once you receive a satisfactory response. This helps people in future when searching and helps prevent the same questions being asked multiple times.

Using ABAP DATA FLOW to pull data from APO tables

I am trying to use an ABAP Data flow to pull data from APO and receive error 150301. I can do a direct table pull and receive no error, but when I try to put it in an ABAP data data flow I get the issue. Any help would be great.

Hi
I know you "closed" this, however someone else might read it so I'll add that when you use an ABAP dataflow, logic can be pushed to ECC - table joins, filters, etc. (Which can be seen in the generated ABAP).

Newbie questions regarding pulling data from hyperion planning cube w/OBIEE

Hello there,
we've recently implemented Essbase and are currently pumping it full of revenue/expense data from out source systems to calculate NOI. This data is stored in a staging table at the detail level where it is sourced into Hyperion and aggregated. We also have OBIEE 10g (plan to upgrade to 11g later this year) and we would like to connect to and report out of Essase. Our ultimate goal is to be able to report on the NOI numbers in the planning cube but have the ability to drill down to the detail level which is not stored in Essbase. We've heard it is possible, albeit not native for OBIEE 10g to do this. We've also heard that it is not best practice to use our transactional cube for this type of reporting but to actually create a second "reporting cube".
What are best practices for getting this NOI data out of Hyperion and merging it with our relational detail reporting? Can we somehow export the data from the cube and store it in a relational database? Should we clone the cube (if even possible) and configure both it and our relational source in the BI repository and setup all drill-throughs there?
Any info is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
Edited by: cisGuy on Sep 20, 2010 5:31 PM

i have found information on how to use ODI to extract data for the cube. What I'm really trying to find out though is best practices for reporting off summary level data in Essbase with the ability to drill-through to the detail.
We've heard reporting off the same cube that users are writing back and transacting on is bad. Do we need to make a "reporting cube" and then bring that in OBIEE and merge it with a relational source or is it better to extract the data from Essbase into flat files and join it to detail tables in our relational source?

Pulling data from table to a flat file

hi all,
Good day to all,
Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB's. Usage of db link is restricted. The db version is 10.2.0.4.
thanks,
baskar.l

Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB'sFlat file is adequate only from VARCHAR2, NUMBER, & DATA datatypes.
Other datatypes present a challenge within text file.
A more robust solution is to use export/import to move data between Oracle DBs.

Hello Jdesko,
Thank you for you prompt response. Yes, I have changed the connections variables in my dataservice ( I didn't post real values). You are right, after all I didn't make changes on the gateway.php except to add some tracking points. The one that I changed is the amf.config,ini. The application runs without any error exceptions, but don't populate the datagrid. According with the tracing is stoping just when establishing the connection to the database. Please let me know if you have any other clue. thanks

Pull data from a table in HTML format from external URL into a Servlet

How do I pull data from existing website html table into a Servlet?
I will need to pull the data into a servlet. So, the servelet will need to go to the URL and get the data and save them as variables.
I know I will need an array to store the data. I just dont know how to call the URL and have the servelet search the site for the <table> </table>.
I will later use this to save to a database.
Thanks
