Source Connection checking & Job automation

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I have a batch jobs which fetches data from source DB (oracle 10g) and to be executed after connection is released on daily basis.

 

Because of this dependency of connection release by source team DB team and manually checking connection and release then executing job manually is tedious task and because of this I have to work on weekends and on holidays too.

 

Now I want to automate the Job based on Below conditions so that I don't have to work on weekends and on holidays.

 

1> Checking IF connection is released or not

a. if Yes then Job should get started.

in the middle of job execution connection fluctuation may happen and job may get killed. In that case it should get started again.

 

b. If job is already running or has been executed successfully it should not get started.

 

c. If Connection is not released  then redo step 1 may be at an interval of 1hours. (pts. a & b should be taken into consideration)

I would love to hear from you how you are using address cleansing at your organization.  This will help us guide our product direction and help bring quality services to our great customers.  I'd would really like to know:

 

  • How many addresses do you cleanse each year through DS/DQM?
  • Are there countries for which you don't have directories because your volume doesn't warrant the cost of purchase?
  • Do you make extensive use of geocoding and reverse geocoding?
  • Do you use POI capabilities?
  • Are there countries for which SAP does not offer address data but you wish that we did?

 

Please let me know about your usage.  You can reply in this thread or, if you prefer, you can email me directly at paul.medaille@sap.com.

 

Thanks!

I am trying to set up an email configuration in SAP DS 4.2 but getting error in DS while executing a job error as "SMTP error code <530>".

 

Please find below all the steps I performed for configuring & setting up of an email functionality using DS server manager & DS CMC (Central Management Console).

 

First configured the SMTP & sender information in DS Server Manager.

 

 

Server : XX.XXX.XX.XX (SMTP Exchange server IP)

 

Sender : Email id account created for sending the emails from DS server

 

DS_SM.png

 

 

Secondly setting up an email using DS CMC under Servers -> Core Services -> Job Server -> Right Click -> Destination -> Email -> Add

 

 

CMC_1.png

 

 

After this passing all the values in domain name, host, port, authentication method, user name, password, from field & than save -> close.

 

 

CMC_2.png

 

 

But after performing all these steps getting below error when trying to send an email using smtp_to() function from DS may be i am missing something.

 

 

DS_error.png

 

 

one more thing when i tried to do telnet on command prompt using authentication login i am able to send an email using email id account created for sending mail from DS server.

I think issue is with authentication method. Please suggest.

Transaction Control in BODS Target table options

Hi Experts !

 

I am not much familiar with how transaction control works in DS. so looking for valuable inputs and thoughts on points some thing like below

1) how DS buffers data ?

2)what memory it uses? etc.,


Database : SQL DB

we are facing this issue after migrating to higher version.


one of our job is failing with invalid date/time format issue

though there is no issue with data or time in the DF where we are seeing this failure

we have one source and 7 targets and all of them are in SQL DB

all the 7 targets are in transaction control in same DF. and they have an order.

by removing transaction control the job is running fine for few records 25-30 .

we suspect that for more data DS buffers data. and could be memory issues

we are picking up server date and loading into target tables. in other data flows it works fine , only in this case it shows error.

if we removing transaction control option job completing successfully .


Can any one please help on this ?


Thanks&Regards

  1. Hi.

I am having a rare problem with the job server with data services.

After install the CMS and DataServices the job server runs one time and I can’t run the job server anytime after.

This problem is at windows 7, 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 with dataservices 3.x or 4.x, with windows xp dataservice 3.x runs correctly.

I have try to put between “ the path of the .exe of the job server, like a note than I have read, but the issue is not solve.

When I reconfigure the job and sync the job with the database no error occurs, but when I try to run a data flow, dataservies show the error:

job server .... is not responding (BODI-1241021)

The job server is not responding .. (BODI-1260016)

I think isn’t an error of configuration of CMS or DataServies because it runs one time.

In the log of the system I have found the follows messages:

Hi All,

 

We are receiving the error Cannot start thread for all the Production jobs.

 

I did a research and found that it is related to Stack Size on Linux server. We are on DS 4.2 SP5 and OS is Red hat Linux 6.7 with the reporting database and repo database on Oracle 11 G R2.

 

After referring the below link could not find the maximum Stack size for linux

 

Data Services User Resource limits on Unix systems - Enterprise Information Management - SCN Wiki

 

We have set the stack size on the linux server to 10240.

 

Can anyone tell what should be the recommended and maximum stack size

I cannot access elements via byId() from different view/controller.

 

I am trying to access another view elements by using below  syntax.

 

sap.ui.getCore().byId("xxx").setModel(oModel2);


But it shows error like (Cannot read property 'setModel' of undefined).

 

I found some answ in SCN blog they said that

 

When you do createID('XY'), the element is created with an ID havinbg format <prefix>XY . The prefix is that of the view. So when you do sap.ui.getCore().byId('XY'), you will not find any element with ID 'XY'.


Please help me. How could i achieve.

Updating a dimension table

$

0

How would I be able to achieve the following (I tried using a classic chain of a table compare, history preserve and row generation, but to no avail, as only the most recent record gets updated):

 

Suppose I have an employee dimension with just five columns: surrogate key, business key, employee name, position, date of birth. I only want inserts of new records and changed records based on a change of function, i.e. the other columns I'm not really interested in in terms of history, so they should really just be overwritten.

 

So if an employee has changed position a number of times, but HR finds out that the year of her DOB was initially entered incorrectly I want all of the records pertaining to that person to be corrected. How would I be able to achieve this (ideally the whole logic in one single data flow)? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

 

We need to create connectivity with MS SQL server 2012 as Source and HANA as target in BODS.

There is a confusion about which driver(Native or any other) needs to be present at designer and BODS server end to enable the communication.

Data Direct drivers are present at Server end already.

Also please help me with any prerequisite configurations that needs to be done to be able to connect to SQL server for both BODS and Designer Boxes.

Data service is setup in a Linux box.

Why do I get parsing errors with my WSDL URL for Web Services usage

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I am puzzled with the errors I get when I want to create a Web Service datastore.

 

Scenario: I have created a SAP Web Service from CRM using SOAMANAGER. The WSDL URL produced by SOAMANAGER is accessibile when pasting the URL directly in Internet Explorer. WSDL URL [http://UXCIQ0M.WDF.SAP.CORP:50076/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/srvc_CBDCB34C89C29304E10000000A4282C0/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=504]

 

When using the WSDL URL in the Web Service datastore URL field, I get the error An error occurred while importing metadata: WSDLException; faultcode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing: The element type "br" must be terminated by matching tag "/br". (BODI-1111469) (BODI-1112446)

 

When I save the WSDL defintion in a local file and use a local file path, I get the errors An error occurred while importing metadata: WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portype/wsp:Policy): faultcode=INVALID_WSDL: Encountered unexpected element 'Policy. (BODI-1111469) (BODI-1112446)

 

 

My questions:

 

- Why do I get different parsing errors despite the fact that the XML is the same?

- The WSDL is generated by SOAMANAGER. Shouldn't it work directly when integrating with Web Services generated from an SAP environment?

- Is this related to confiurgation issue? I have set the Job Manager to Support adapter, message broker and SNMP communication

- What is the difference between the datastore of type Adapter and the datastore Web Service? In the white paper [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20bd5e60-11f9-2b10-2bbb-b5109cceff08?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] it is mentioned to use the Adapter type to consume a Web Service. It is not clear to me why we have those 2 types.

 

Thanks & Best Regards

Data Services - Rebuild Central Repository (Dependency Corruption)

$

Hello,

 

Over the course of making several changes at once across almost every workflow in a project (lesson learned), I am now unable to check in my project to the central repository. Here is the error I get - note the missing function name before the first dot:

 

(added error text 02-NOV-2015)

"Internal error in 'local repository'. Objects in central and local repositories don't match. Some objects may have been deleted from central repository. Please refresh central object library and try the operation again. (BODI-1112275)

 

The following objects in dependency list constructed from the repository cannot be found in the corresponding dependency list in the cache. Imported function - .TEST.ODBC.HANA"

bods_error.png

 

I've been able to solve a similar issue by fixing an upper/lower case issue in a script. I can't seem to narrow this down and am to the point of trying to recreate a central repository.

 

What is the "best" approach to rebuilding a central repository based on a local repository with checkouts?

 

Thanks.
