What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the S

Hi All,
We are BW 7.01 (EHP 1, Service Pack Level 7).
As part of our BW project scope for our current release, we will be developing certain reports in BW, and for certain reports, the existing legacy reporting system based out of MS Access and the old version of Business Objects Release 2 would be used, with the needed data supplied from the BW system.
What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the Server on regular intervals using a process chain?
Thanks in advance,
- Shashi

Hello Shashi,
some comments:
1) An "open hub license" is required for all processes that extract data from BW to a non-SAP system (including APD). Please check with your SAP Account Executive for details.
2) The limitation of 16 key fields is only valid when using open hub for extracting to a DB table. There's no such limitation when writing files.
3) Open hub is the recommended solution since it's the easiest to implement, no programming is required, and you don't have to worry much about scaling with higher data volumes (APD and CRM BAPI are quite different in all of these aspects).
For completeness, here's the most recent documentation which also lists other options:

  • What's the best way to export UTF8 data into Excel?

    Hi,
    Database charterer set is UTF8
         PARAMETER     VALUE
    1     NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8
    2     NLS_CHARACTERSET     UTF8
    My requirement is that I want to export oracle data into excel file by using UTL_FILE oracle supplied package.
    But while writing data into excel files it’s looses in UTF8 encoding and writes some garbage data into file.
    I am very much sure that while retrieving the data form database it is perfectly encoded with UTF8, but after data is written to the file it eats the UTF encoding resulting into some garbage data.
    e.g.
    I am retrieving this filed from database which is UTF8 encoded in DB “Langäcker 55” but when it is written into excel it becomes “Langäcker 55”.
    Is Oracle UTL_FILE eating the UTF8 encoding while writing into file? if yes, is there utility which can help me to remain the UTF8 encoding as it is while writing in to excel file? Is there anythingi can do in Oracle to get this done?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    Until now I have not found anyone who could write real Excel files (MS binary format) in PL/SQL. So I assume that you write your data in strings separated by a character like ; or |, aka CSV.
    Try to open your file with 'wb' (write binary) instead of 'w' and then use
    -- write data
    utl_file.put_raw(v_file,utl_raw.cast_to_raw(<your data>));
    --write remaining data
    utl_file.fflush(v_file);
    --close the file
    utl_file.fclose(v_file);Regards

  • What could be the best way to Export data from 11.5.8 instance to 12.1.2?

    Hi All
    What could be the best way to Export data from 11.5.8 instance to 12.1.2?
    Release: 11.5.8
    OS: Oracle Solaris on SPARC (32-bit) verison 9
    DB: 9.2.0.1
    Thanks in advance

    What kind of data you are looking to move?
    Database export/import is only supported for full database export/import and the application release should be the same on the source/target nodes.
    You can move the setup using iSetup or FNDLOAD.
    Thanks,

  • What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?

    What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?
    Wie exportiere ich am am besten einen Schnittlinie aus Photoshop? Ich bekomme von einem Wort immer nur den ersten Buchstaben exportiert, obwohl alles gerastert auf einer Ebene liegt.
    Thank you! Vielen Dank!

    What are you talking about exactly?
    If you need to export vector data Photoshop is not the first choice but if you have Type Layers (without faux styles), Vector Masks or Paths it is possible.
    alles gerastert auf einer Ebene
    does not seem to make sense in this context though.

  • What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder via a scheduled job?

    What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder, when the export process is a scheduled job?

    You can't directly, as scheduled jobs can only export to server-side data stores, which can only write to the landing area. You'll need to use an external script (e.g. batch file) to move the file from the landingarea after export. You can use an external task in the scheduled job to invoke the script.

  • What is the best way to export a slideshow .I like to show my slideshows via appleTV on my TV

    What is the best way to export a slideshow.I like to view  the show trough AppleTV on my television.

    You don't really give us a lot of information to work with, and assume we know something about this mdeia player. The only way to get the slideshow to a media player is to export it from iPhoto. To where? Depends on the media player. Will iTunes work? Depends on the media player. Does the media player have a DVD drive? If so, then burning it to DVD with iDVD will work, but it will be standard def not HD.

  • HT204655 What is the best way to export a photo from OS X Photos to Photoshop?

    What is the best way to export a photo from OS X Photos to Photoshop?

    Just a note:  if you Option-drag the thumbnail to the Desktop you'll get the original file.  Regular dragging will get you the preview version or the edited version if it's been edited in Photos.

  • What is the best way to export a movie to avoid losing quality?

    I need to get a movie I made on a DVD somehow, but I seem to loose quality in color and overall sharpness when I take it into iDVD and burn a disc. This movie will be projected very large, so I need the best quality possible. What is the best way to export it for the highest quality?

    There's been a ton of testing reported here on this issue, but I don't think there is a consensus on the "best" method. For one thing, it depends on what you're starting with.
    In my experience with DV video and hi-res photos, it was tough to beat the result I got exporting "large" to the media browser. (Because of my DV footage, HD was not an option.) This made a H.264 file. I could only get a slight improvement by exporting via Quicktime to a H.264 file at double the resolution of the "large" file made by iMovie. Of course this took longer to export and for iDVD to encode. Overall, I'd say it wasn't worth it for the barely visible improvement. That improvement was only detectable in the slides, BTW, not in the DV video.
    Many recommend exporting to AIC, which should be an essentially lossless export out of iMovie. This is what the share to iDVD supposedly does, I got poor results with any flow that used an AIC file exported out of iMovie for use by iDVD. Never figured out why, but my results were always better if I compressed to H.264 on the way out of iMovie.

  • What is the best way to export for use on internet?

    what is the best way to export for use on internet?

    It depends. Is this for a personal web site or for a site like YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook?
    For YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook, use Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD using one of the YouTube presets.

  • What the best way to export.

    I have been using FCE for two years now and smooth sailing. Two years ago I made a DVD for 1 hour 30 mins long. Its been awhile since that project. im currently making another possible up to 2 hours.
    now my question.
    Question #1. what is the best was to export the project file so i can use it for idvd? there is lots of options just want to make sure i get the right one. the DVD is for commerical sale just want it to be right.
    Question #2. Would it be possible to export a project file to a video camera using FCE?
    thank jim.

    1 - Normally the best way to export your project for iDVD is to export to *QuickTime Movie.* If iDVD is on the same computer as FCE, then you can export a QT reference movie (when you export, UNcheck the option called "Make Movie Self-Contained". Don't export to QuickTime Conversion if you plan to burn a DVD of your video.
    However, before you export your sequence, do both of the following in FCE:
    *Sequence > Render All > Both*
    *Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown*
    Then save your project
    Then export
    In iDVD you can put up to 2 hours on a single-layer DVD or up to 4 hours on a dual-layer DVD.
    2 - You can record an FCE sequence back to tape if you are using a miniDV camcorder.

  • What's the best way to export a 1280:720 mov file to high res wmv

    Does anyone know the best way to export an HD 1280:720 Quick Time .mov to the highest possible res wmv?

    fewer problems. It was a codec issue, I think regarding the latest codec. The solution, and it works for all the apps, was to make the frame divisible by 16 on all sides. It had to do with coding factors. But it worked. Since then, and the introduction of the iPad, we've dropped WMV altogether. We're now relying on Flash and MP4. MP4 is used in most places, particularly promos and marketing content. However, it's not at all easy to protect content from "redistribution" when using HTML5. It has a weakness in which it leaves a data trail that someone can follow back to the original video. Hmmm... so we code in a Flash wrapper, though I think my IT person may be using my MP4s for that. I'll have to check. Anyway, I'm down to mostly MP4 now.

  • What is the best way to edit meta data..

    What is the best way to edit meta data and tag photos, faces, places etc. and have the data saved to the original photo.
    On a PC I would just use Windows Gallery. iPhoto on the Mac allows for some tagging, but it doesn't save to the original file.
    I like to have my photos in a folder, edit them and save the changes.
    What software would work best on a MAC to accomplish this?
    Thanks for any help,
    Nick

    iPhoto is a database and any metadata you add or edit is available in any app - if you learn how to use it.
    iPhoto is a non-destructive processor. It never touches the original file - it treats it like a film shooter treats the negative.
    If you want a copy of the original file with the metadata included simply export a copy.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    As an FYI:
