Would a BW functional developer be able to support data services?

Hi gurus,
Our company cannot justify having a full time data services functional developer to support our existing master data address cleanse / address validation process in data services. There is light work for customizing data services jobs and occasional support work for address validation issues. We have a full staff of SAP developers in most areas and are looking to train an existing employee to do two roles. Not being well versed in what is involved with data services support, can you help with what skill set would be a good complement to also learn data services? Would it be a BW functional developer? ABAP developer? Basis? Master Data functional developer?
Warm Regards,
CM

Hello
In general, the most effective Data Services developers have a 'proper' development background and understand set theory, relational databases, and SQL.
You'll also need to find someone with an understanding of data quality theory.

Why would I need to use LiveCycle Data Services in a Flex app?

I cannot figure out what additional functionality is provided by using LiveCycle Data Services in my Flex apps. I cannot get a clear understanding of how using LiveCycle Data Services would benefit my applications. Does someone out there use LiveCycle Data Services? If so, what do you do with it in Flex?
Thanks!

- data push for publish/subscribe implementations
User has to do nothing to get updated information. You push it to their machine when new data is available, like Yahoo finance updated quotes.
- data paging
You don't want to display one million rows in your datagrid at once. Get a batch of data, if the user scrolls down, get the next batch, etc.
- server side clustering
One server does not get overloaded. High traffic sites have their large number of concurrent connections managed more efficiently.
- JMS services
JMS is a powerful technology for messaging throughout an application, and LCDS makes it much easier.
- RTMP tunneling
Allows the use of the RTMP protocol in LiveCycle Data Services applications. Makes it easier to traverse firewalls and proxies appropriately that currently prevent direct RTMP client connections to the server.

Data Services XI3.1 function module files for SAP R/3 is not working

Hi guys,
Thank you for the quick response so far. I am very grateful to you all.
I got an issue and will try to explain as detail as I could and
hope ur guys won't mind. :P
I pass the functions module to SAP tech guy to install to SAP using CTS
method, and using 900086.R63 file type because my chinese client is
running SAP on unicode environment.
My DS installed on my laptop client; job server plus db2 is on HP
unix. SAP is on another HP Unix server. The function module I used is
supplied from Data Services XI3.1.
Anyway, the installation is successfully done with GUI wizard windows of
SAP Workbench instead of tp command line method.
1)However, I checked the ZAW0 function group, I opened and can't see any functions
listed under it, although the table structures ZACTA, ZTAB2048 and other items
were created.
2)So I tried to create SAP Datastore, Transport Target, etc and tried to
extract file. It failed and log said "can't open file ---
/db2/temp/curcode.txt". I checked and SAP working directory /db2/temp didn't have
curcode.txt, because the result file supposed to be extracted and stored there.
The SAP tech guy checked SAP and cant find generated ABAP program of
ZCURCD is running anyway, although my local CURCD ABAP program is
created.
3)Is it the 900086.R63 not complete? Is my function installation correct? I could view data
on datastore, but just cant run job to extract. Another non-unidcode 900200.S08 group
has larger file sizes. Should I try to install also this 900200.S08 files? Will it corrupt SAP
and cause system errors?
4)After that, I had tried to install the functions manually into ZAW0
one by one using cut and paste, however after that, I cant view the data view anymore with
error. Besides, I tried to run Check on the functions and they all returned
syntax errors, so I cant Activate any of them with SAP. Maybe dependency is missing??
Then, I deleted the manually installed functions and can view data again, but just cant extract
data by job.
5)Another side issue is all these SAP datastore creation and viewing is
through DI 11.5 old installation. The new Data Services X3.1 unable to
create datastore with database error, although the function module
installed is came from Data Services. Does anyone know the issue?
Thank you very much to read it patiently. :P

Hi,
Thank you for the informative link. It did help a lot in solving the problem.
(1) to (4) --- The Sap tech guy didnt install the function programs correctly, and he redo the transport again using CTS. Now I can see all the functions inside the function group ZAW0. While for the problem of cannot generate extracted file to SAP working directory for downloading, it is due to unix directory access permission setting. And also have to include the ftp username into SAPSYS user group as the help link suggested.
(5) For this problem, I reinstalled again the DS with all required components like Server Manager. The network technical guy helped me with the first installation, and the installation was not complete. So now the issue is solved, I can create R/3 Datastore with DS.

Generate DB DOC functionality should be able to specify a schema like TOAD.

I have created a request for this previously. I was hoping it wold be in the next release.
Its awesome to be able to specify a schema if you have the rights to generate documentation for it.
Generate DB DOC functionality should be able to specify a schema like TOAD.
Description I like the Generate DB DOC functionality.
It only seems to work for the account you are connect to.
I would like to see it work more like TOAD in that you could specify a schema and see the layout of that schema without having to find the account for it if you have rights to the objects via SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE or SELECT DICTIONARY_ANY or whatever objects you have rights to..
This is good for admins who have dictionary rights but now the password of the schema or a person who has been granted rights to a particular set of objects..
Looks like I got to sign onto TOAD to do this one for now since I don't know the schema password..

Do you think this product is possible?

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

HT201304 It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.

Please help!
It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device, to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.
I understand that I can set up a different Apple ID for the kids devices, or take physical control of the device and make the changes myself. However, my teenage son is technically savvy enough to have a job in Silicon Valley, as are most young people these days. However, in order to access his devices the current way, I first have to bypass the four digit pass code. This starts a fight of why I need in the device and continues to escalate. The argument that I am the parent will gain access but the fight is simply exhausting, and quite frankly shouldn't have to happen at all. He is not yet an adult, he did not pay for his iPad or iPhone and I, as a parent, should have not only have the right to change options at will, and from anywhere, but look at history or current activity when I feel like it.
I currently have the settings where app and in-app purchases require my password to be put in, and he must come to me to type it in, but I need more control and would like, and should be able to access any of our six devices and make individual changes simply by logging in to my account, with my password.
If I can see all my devices on the "Lost My iPhone" app, this technology should be easy to make happen.
C'mon parents! I have a pretty good kid, given all things that they can get into, but I am not stupid. For everything I see has been done, there is much more I haven't seen. I want my children to be kept safe and be able to know what they are looking at or listening to. We parents are the only ones who know our beliefs and what our kids can handle and when.
Thanks for any support or information that I may be missing in order to fulfill my request.

There are mobile device management solutions that can do this, including in Apple's OS X Server system, but most parents generally find that setting this up is more work than it's worth. If you're interested, though, there are a couple that at least purport to be free (I don't know if there are any hidden "gotchas"):
http://www.unwireddevicelink.com/features/
https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
and Apple's system:
http://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#profile-manager
I don't think any, however, allow you to see current activity or browser history. iOS doesn't expose those to access from MDM solutions, to the best of my knowledge.

XI developer not able to handle IDOCs

Dear all
We are facing the following problem .
I have created an XML to IDOC scenario in the Integration Builder . Everything works fine for me, but when anonther developer (whose user is copied from mine) tries to see/edit the message mapping of the same scenario, he gets the message
"Interface object IDoc ORDERS.ORDERS05 | urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages does not exist in the specified software component version ************* , 1.0 of ******** Select one of the following existing versions" .
We also noticed that in Imported Objects/Idocs, although the IDOC Orders.orders05 is active (and we also deleted an reimported several times), if he opens it, he can't see its structure or the XSD description .
Any help will be appreciated .
Thank you .

Hi Markos,
Check whether the Developer is able to access the other objects in the interface. If he is having issue with all the objects, then the issue might be with the Authorization.
Check with the BASIS team regarding the issue.
Thanks,

What would happen if function is declared as autonomous_transaction

Hi all,
Can any one tell me what would happen if function is declared as autonomous_transaction ?
Will it affect other DML's in the current session .Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
P Prakash

In (another) addition, I recall getting deadlock errors as well, due to a totally wrongly defined transaction, using slow-by-slow processing (many moons ago, but I still wake up screaming in the middle of the night when dreaming of that code).
Will it affect other DML's in the current session .Please help me.It depends on in what way you're applying autonomous transactions. From that point of view you gave us little information sofar.
It depends on the understanding you have of them, regarding how they work, and what surprises/data corruption/errors they can give you.
We don't know what you're trying to implement here, but I'd stay far from using an autonomous transaction.
They're only good for logging errors.
Not for fixing datamodel issues or fixing poorly designed transactions based on incomplete/incorrect business rules.
They are not workarounds.
That's been my rule as well for years now.
In general you need to stay away from them. Far far away. Just like the WHEN OTHERS exception.
And especially when you've come to believe that an autonomous transaction will save your day, while it's doing something else than errorlogging in a separate procedure call which in it's turn an autonomous transaction!
Suggest you read up on DML Error Logging then.
You can search http://asktom.oracle.com for more examples and explanations.

Would I ever be able to recover data?

Would I ever be able to recover data after a 2STF/3/3: ATA-100 ata-6 - Master error? Would professional data recovery help or would you say recovering the data is a lost cause?
Just wondering?

Hi, most nearly certain that Professional data Recovery could do it.
A few other possible options....
Data Rescue...
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
They have a free demo to see what it could recover.
DiskWarrior...
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
"Stellar Phoenix Macintosh - Mac data recovery software, recovers data from damaged, deleted, or corrupted volumes and even from initialized disks."
They have a trial version, so I guess you can see if your data can be recovered...
http://www.stellarinfo.com/mac-data-recovery.htm
FileSalvage is an extremely powerful Macintosh application for exploring and recovering deleted files from a drive or volume. FileSalvage is designed to restore files that have:
    * been accidentally deleted.
    * become unreadable due to media faults.
    * been stored on a drive before it was re-initialized/formatted.

I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
They don't have answers and don't understand about "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
that was supposed to fix the problem.
they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
Great! what a convenient solution.
I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
Thank you very much and God Bless you!

Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

BO Data Services Change Management with SAP Charm Functionality

HI Gurus,
We have been tasked with automating the Change Management activity for Business objects data Services. The same is currently performed as a manual task which could be prone to errors. We have researched all over the place and we have not been able to find any documentation on in order to carry out this activty through Solution Manager ChaRm functionality.
So, Can SAP Solution manager perform the LCM (Life Cycle management) for Business objects Data Services via means of it CHaRm functionality?
Right now we know that the components for BO are present on Solution manager within the SMSY transaction. We have also been able to create the complete landscape within the same and create a project template for it.
Now the challenge is how do we configure ChaRm in order to move the DI code from one repository to the next?
here are the requirements we are trying to implement:
1. Create a full landscape for Business Objects Data Services within SMSY in Solution manager
2. Create Project template for Business objects Data Services
3. Create RFC connections to Database and BODS Client Servers
4. Configure Charm in order to automate Change Management for Data Service
Please advice.
Thanks,
Nat Hernandez
