Which data source of many to use, based on user entry of month

Looking for hints relating to BEx queries inside the Web Application Designer's web templates.
Currently a query is using 1 very, very large data source, such as payroll records.
If data is divided into smaller portions, such as monthly data sources....
How can we:
- establish a link between the variable entry screen where the user selects 1 specific month and
- force the query to return results from that 1 month's data source?
In other words, we are looking for a way to build intelligence into the query for it to make a decision about which data source to use, based upon the parameters that end user enters.... with the hopes that the process will return the results faster, because it has less data to weed thru to get to the results.
Thanks.

Hi Sharon,
As U said the datasource is a huge one. Now let's say these datasource is feeding its data to only 1 cube IC1. After the data to the cube is loaded, there will be huge junk of data from the source, so, inorder to improve the reporting performance with respect to this cube you got different options of creating Indexes, Aggregates etc., on to this cube. Again coming the BEx, there also U have other options to improve your query performance.
As per your requirement, U want to display data with respect to a month which the end user enters. For this I guess U can have a variable entry for the time characteristic Calendar Month/Year. By this way, U can get the desired results for the query. I suggest, U can even improve the performance by having range values (or) single value restrictions on the time characteristic Calendar Month/Year, if U are sure for which calendar months (or) years the data is to be queried upon.
Hope this should serve your purpose.
Regards,
Syed.

Which data sources I need to use for Actual&Plan comparision of GL Account?

Could you please let me know which datasources I need to use for Actual & Plan comparision of GL Account data?
Current SAP BI version is BI 7.0.
As per my knowledge, I am thinking of using the datasources 0CO_OM_CCA_1 for Plan data & 0FI_GL_10 for Actuals.
Is this right?
I have one more question here:
While extracting the data from ds 0CO_OM_CCA_1, I am getting only the Profit & Loss Account data where as the Balance Sheet Account data is not coming.
And also there is some confusion in VTYPE because the standard ds 0CO_OM_CCA_1 is giving the data with Value type 10 is & Version 000.
As we all know the VTYPE '10' stands for Actuals then how can we say that this ds 0CO_OM_CCA_1 gives Plan data?
Please clarify.

Hi,
Basically 0CO_OM_CCA_1 data source is used to extract actual, plan, and commitments.
This data is differentiated with value type, you can see sap note 523742 for more details on value type.
For balance sheet accounting data check the below link,

Want to check which data source is used by the composites

HI All,
I have a requirement here in which i want to see that which data source is used by the composites deployed on SOA.
I dont have the code.
Is there any quick way to do it(from console or backend without downloading the code)
Thanks

You can export the jar file from the EM console.
1) Login to EM console
2) Right click on the composite and select Export and With default options click on Export button
Find the data source name from the exported code.
Mark the posting appropriately as "helpful" or "correct answer", if your issue is solved.

The '' secondary data source is not a relational data source, or does not use an OLE DB provider.

Hi,
We are using Teradata as data source in SSAS 2008R2, it’s using ‘.Net Providers\.Net Data Provider for Teradata’.
In DSV, we have two data sources both using Teradata. While processing dimensions, all dimensions coming from secondary data source has error message”
The '' secondary data source is not a relational data source, or does not use an OLE DB provider.”
But we are not using OLE DB provider for now, we’ve searched some threads that named queries can be replaced for secondary ds, but since we have a lot of tables, it’s hard to implement using named queries.
Any inputs would be appreciated.

Hi memostone,
When defining a data source view that contains tables, views, or columns from multiple data sources, the first data source from which you add objects to the data source view is designated as the primary data source (you cannot change the primary data
source after it is defined). After defining a data source view based on objects from a single data source, you can then add objects from other data sources.
If an OLAP processing or a data mining query requires data from multiple data sources in a single query, the primary data source must support remote queries using
OpenRowset. Typically, this will be a SQL Server data source.
Here are the restrictions:
The primary data source should be SQL Server and support OpenRowset to the secondary data source.
Or you design the cube in such a way that rocessing for each object only needs to access data from a single data source
I recommand you refer to the following article:
Defining a Data Source View (Analysis Services):

How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source

Hi,
I created Oracle jdbc Data Source named "MYDS" in Visual Admin. I added the alias = MYDS_ALIAS. I set the Initial Connection to 2. On the Monitor tab, I see a green line running across the screen. The datasource MYDS is connected to the Oracle.
Now, I would like to define "data-sources-alias.xml" to use MYDS.
When creating data-source-aliases.xml it creates the alias by default on ${com.sap.datasource.default} which is the default DB.
I followed the link --> How to point data-source-aliases.xml to another Datasource
and my data-sources-alias.xml is now:
<data-source-aliases>
     <aliases>
          <data-source-name>$</data-source-name>
          <alias>BRANCH50DS</alias>
     </aliases>
</data-source-aliases>
The "EAR generatation has finished successfully", but when "Deploy to J2EE Engine", I got the error below:
1) How to define data-sources-alias.xml to use Oracle data source?
2) I found the link (SDA Deployment error) talking about "sda-dd.xml". How to create "sda-dd.xml" and make it use substitution variables "MYDS"

Which data types I have to use.

hi all,
I was using DEC '9' for a variable.
ie., tunni type DEC of length 9. For smaller values like 000000488225584 is ok.
But for larger values like 000001048988458000000513871057 is going to dump.
Please suggest me which data type I have to use.
It should not be effect the performance.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try use numerical character (TYPE N).

Customer exit to calculate previous quarter based on user entry in 0PCALMON

Hi,
I have written a CMOD code to calculate previous quarter based on user entry in 0PCALMON (0CALMONTH). That is if 09.2008 is entered for 0PCALMON, it should fetch the months 04.2008, 05.2008,06.2008.
But unfortunately I am getting all years and all months.
Could you please help me debug this code.
Global Declaration :
       z_vcalmonth(2) TYPE n ,
       z_vcalyear(4) TYPE n.
When 'YQV_LQ'.
if i_step = 2.

      IF ( z_vcalmonth >= 1 AND z_vcalmonth <= 3 ).
        z_vcalyear = z_vcalyear - 1.
        CONCATENATE z_vcalyear '10' INTO l_s_range-low.

Hi,
U can use the FM SLIM_GET_QUARTERLY_PERIODS
Pass the variable first date of 0PCALMON ( 09.2009 => '01.09.2009') to get the table of all the 4 period ranges in PERIODS table in result
and read the Last entry to get the Previous Quarter period
PERIODS table
S OP LOW        HIGH
I BT 01.07.2008 30.09.2008
I BT 01.10.2008 31.12.2008
I BT 01.01.2009 31.03.2009
I BT 01.04.2009 30.06.2009
Then pass this values in l_s_range-low l_s_range-high
Hope this helps

Which data source to be used to bring sales data for customers???

Hi Gurus,
I am using 0FI_AR_4 data source for one of report for DSO calculation.
To complete the DSO( Daily Sales outstanding) calculation in BW I need sales data also for each customer.
And this should be for all the past 12 months. Based on past 12 months sales data for each customer DSO calculation will be done.
As this sales data is not available in the the 0FI_AR_4 data source so which other datasource can I use for the same purpose to bbring the sales data for the customer. I am thinking of COPA datasoure..... will it be right choice????
Or I can go with some other option???
Thanks in advance......
Uday Shankar.

Uday,
You can use datasource: [2LIS_13_VDITM - Billing Document-Item Data |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/EN/73/0bf23839caf878e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
datasource provides billing data item level.

COPA Data Source: possible to enhance using exit?

Hi BI experts,
I got a question about if it is possible to enhance COPA data source by using user exit (just like the way to enahance other data sources in the business content).
The background:
I have to include several new fields in COPA data source. Since COPA data source is generated (not a data source from business content like LIS data sources).
My questions:
1) Is it the recommended way to enhance the existing COPA data source using exit?
2) or it would be better to delete the existing one and create a new one with the two additional fields?
3) any potential issue to be expected?
Your feedback and help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sally

Hi
1) Is it the recommended way to enhance the existing COPA data source using exit?
Yes, we can enhance COPA DS via User Exit, Provided the fields should be from other different tables which are not from Segment Tables.
2) or it would be better to delete the existing one and create a new one with the two additional fields?
If the fields are from Segment Tables, it is always better to delete the existing one and Recreate the same
3) any potential issue to be expected?
Appending/Enhancing fields are always bit difficult and my lead into errors in future, based on the critical functionality we use.. But I recommend DELETE THE DS AND RECREATE WITH COPA always.Hope it helps

64bit CR-Enterprise wont talk with 32bit data source, 32bit IDT wont use 64bit connection for universe. How do I connect them.

Hi.
I installed the full suite of tools as I am involved with a company intended to become a partner and reseller so we are trying to get everything working.
SAP Crystal Server 2013 SP1
BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
SAP HANA
SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP1
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2013 SP1
Crystal Server 2013 SP1 Client Tools
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office 4.1 SP1
.NET SDK
I found out that BI was needed only after I installed all the others but I installed it without problem.
My issue is that the Information Design Tool (IDT) which creates my universes successfully, and even lets me open and see the dada no problem. Is using a 32bit (ODBC connected to SQL Server 2008) data source.
However, I am unable to load the .UNX in crystal reports (CR) 2011, so I used CR Enterprise (CRE) to connect to my universe. Now when I try to open the universe I start getting the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
When I do searches online I get very generic information relating to setting up data sources. While I believe the problem is indeed with the data source, I don't believe it is setup wrong.
When I access the universe using the IDT (which uses the 32bit version of the data source to build its connection, it wont let me use a 64bit) I can load a table under the "result objects for query #1" press refresh, I get a list of data.
When I access the same universe using CRE (which "Seems" to use a 64bit data source, but I am not sure), and follow the same process as above. I get the above error.
If I cancel the process, when CRE lists the fields for the report I can later manually map these fields to an ODBC connection. But if I have to do this what is the point of using the universes at all as the end user has full access to all the various DB's available in the data source.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

On the server where Crystal Reports Server is installed, create a 64-bit ODBC connection with the same name as the 32-bit connection. CRS will then automatically use the 64-bit version of the connection.

Problem in accessing Data Source Deployed in JBoss using JNDI

Hi everybody!
I need your help in the next question:
I have created a data source to connect to my MySql data base using the following entry in mysql-ds.xml (JBOSS 3.2.5)
<datasources>
    <local-tx-datasource>
        <jndi-name>MySqlDS</jndi-name>
        <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mytest</connection-url>

        <password>1</password>
    </local-tx-datasource>
</datasources> in Eclipse SDK 3.1.2 i trying get access to the datasource
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:/MySqlDS");
if (ds != null) {
    result = ds.getConnection();
                   System.out.println("OK");
    else {
         System.out.println("Failed to lookup datasource.");
    } http://localhost:8080/jmx-console service = JNDI name equal "java:/MySqlDS"
I have error "Cannot get connection: javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial"
Error happen in
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:/MySqlDS");I trying
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initialContext.lookup("MySqlDS");and i had such error.
Can anybody help me?

hi,
please check is your error corrected
public class DBConnection {
     static DataSource dataSource = null;
     * To get the datsource
     public static DataSource getDatasource() {
          InitialContext ctx=null;
     if (dataSource == null){
     try {
          ctx=new InitialContext();
dataSource = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:/MySqlDS");
     } catch (Exception e) {
     System.out.println("eror in DataSource class"+e);
     try {
     ctx.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
          System.out.println("eror in DataSource class context closing"+e);
     return dataSource;
     * To get connection from Database.
     public static Connection getConnection() {
               Connection con = null;
               DataSource dataSource = null;
               try {
                    dataSource =getDatasource();
                    con = dataSource.getConnection();
               } catch (SQLException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
               } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
               return con;
if you want a connetion then call Connection con=DBConnection .getConnection()
hope this helps you

Why do SQL sample programs work when there is no entry for the data sources in the ODBC Data Source Administrator that are used by the sample program?

Hi,
I am trying to understand how to access an SQL database from CVI.
I don't understand how the sample programs shipped with the toolkit can access the database they use if it is not listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
In the code, I see the line:
hdbc = DBConnect ("DSN=CVI SQL Samples");
However, there is not an entry that I can find in the ODBC Administrator for "CVI SQL Samples."
The SQL help suggests there should be a User DSN named, "CVI32_Samples", but I don't see that entry in the ODBC Administrator on my win-7 system.
I believe the sample program is accessing a database file named, "C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\CVI\Samples\sql\samples.mdb".
Exactly how is the call to DBConnect() translated to the file, "samples.MDB", if there is no entry in the ODBC Administrator?
Regards,
Mark

I figured it out. There is a 32 bit ODBC administrator and a 64 bit ODBC administrator. The ODBC administrator I run through the control panel is the 64 bit ODBC administrator. To access the 32 bit administrator I need to run, "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe".
I am running the samples in 32 bit mode, so I need to use the 32 bit ODBC administrator.
Best,
Mark

Create a data source and database tables using WSAD

Hi, guys:
the following is from a tutorial:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0306_wosnick/wosnick.html
"To create the data source and Cloudscape database tables automatically, right click on the HelloWorldServer in the Servers view, and select the Create tables and data sources menu item. A dialog will then display showing that the data source and database tables were created successfully (Figure 5)."
I am using WSAD 5.0 trial version. I cannot find Create tables and data sources menu item if I right click on the HelloWorldServer in the Servers view. I am wondering if this is because trial version does not have this feature?
regards
