Hi,
We transfer jobs via atl file to qas DS, but now we cannot import second, fird... jobs into QAS repository via atl file.
First jobs imported fine, but second and another jobs cannot import, Data Service Designer is freezes, desission is one - reboot DS server.
After reboot, firtst (may be new) job imported fine, but others doesn't imports. I can't understand why.

Hello Experts,
I am working on project where all the source tables are in store procedure (pl/sql scripts) and I will have to exec the procedure to get the data. Is it possible to populate BODS table in such way? Can you provide me with how-to information, please.
Tha data flow should be like this:
stored procedure -> query transform -> target table
Hello,
I have a serious problems and errors while bulk loading data into SAP IQ 16.0 SP08 via SAP Data Services 4.2 SP03.
I have created a Data Store (Sybase IQ 16.X type) inside SAP Data Services 4.2 SP03 for my SAP IQ 16.0 SP08 database. Then I have created a sample Data Flow with SAP IQ table as data target. When I bulk load data into this table (with default Target table bulk load options - BINARY format is checked) I get an ACCESS_VIOLATION error. I found somewhere that this a known bug in SAP IQ 16.0 SP08 version. For that reason I have installed all 3 patches for that version but it didn't solved the problem. By the way in SAP IQ 16.0 SP01 version Bulk Load in BINARY format works correctly.
Then I have unchecked the BINARY format (this means that the Bulk Load will work in ASCII format) and executed the Job. ACCESS_VIOLATION error disappeared but another error have been displayed - Sybase IQ Syntax error near 'BLOCK'. I have discovered that this is due to the incorrectly formed SAP Data Services Bulk Load statement. The fact is that SAP Data Services includes BLOCK SIZE operator in Bulk Load statement when BLOCK SIZE part was discontinued and not supported since IQ 15.2 version. By the way SAP Data Services creates correct Bulk Load statement for IQ 16.0 SP01 version.
The workaround could be to delete (make empty) Block size (bytes) field in SAP Data Services IQ Target table Bulk Loader Options window. But the problem is that this field is not editable anymore and there is no way to change or empty it's value. By the way SAP Data Services 4.2 SP01 have the same problems with SAP IQ 16.0 SP08 as 4.2 SP03 version but Block size (bytes) field in 4.2 SP01 version is editable and you can apply a workaround for this problem.
SAP IQ 16.0 SP08 is not listed in SAP Data Services 4.2 SP01-03 PAM and all my problems probably are due to this incompatibility (and it's very strange because IQ 16.0 SP08 was release in June and SAP Data Services 4.2 SP03 just in previous or this week). But I must use SAP IQ 16.0 SP08 because this version solved another critical IQ crashing problem and I must use SAP Data Services 4.2 SP03 because it introduced a must feature for me - Data Masking.
Is there any way to use both those versions together? Is there any way to make them work correctly together?
All ideas and suggestions are more than welcome.
Thank you.

Hi all, I'm not an expert with SAP Data Services, and need some help.
Do you have any experience reading/updating data to Dynamics CRM Online using Data Services? Wich type of connection are you using (SOAP web services or oData)?
The Office365 authentication from this Data Services is working fine?
There is any way to test this type of connections or I need to create a full DEV Environment for this?
thank you very much for your help,
best regards

Dear BODS experts,

Hi
We have numerous jobs failing (that previously ran fine) and I suspect the BODS server. The trace logs are not giving much information and we believe they are actually incomplete and missing things. I understand an error file (error.txt ?) is written somewhere on the job server.
What is the file path for this error file?
Hi,
We are facing an issue when uploading long texts (longer than 255 symbols) from Excel file using Data Services.
The problem is that if the first 16 rows of source Excel file don't contain texts longer than 255 symbols, Data Services ODBC driver truncates all further texts in this column to 255 symbols, even if the field length is defined as varchar(2500) in Excel file format in Data Services and if the column contains longer texts in next rows. If I put a long text in one of the first rows of source file, all further long texts are also uploaded correctly
with full length.
I've tested this ussue using simpliest data flow with one source file in Excel format and one target file in CSV format, the problem is at the very fist step of reading data by Excel Workbooks file format.
We've tried to set parameter TypeGuessRows = 0, using Microsoft recomendations (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/189897/en-us), but we are still facing this issue. With TypeGuessRows =0, if the first 16384 rows of Excel file don't contain long texts, all texts in this column are truncated to 255 symbols.
We can't add dummy first row with long texts manually, because these .xlsx files are received from external system daily and should be uploaded automatically.
Do you have any ideas about workaround for this issue? Is there a possibility to add dummy row by some kind of script automatically? Or convert xlsx to csv somehow?
Thanks,
Jeny
I'm running into an issue with the Linux Excel adapter in which some .xls files containing blank lines at the end throw a null pointer exception. I'm processing a directory containing about 40 .xls files and three of them contain empty lines at the end. Of those three, one of them throws the null pointer exception pasted below. I've tried running this with both the stock apache poi jar files as well as using the latest stable release from apache with the same results.
I guess I'm hoping someone can help me with one of three things. Is there a direct fix for this issue? Is there a workaround (some sort of pre-processor/scrubber)? Or, is there a way to be notified which file out of the 40 are failing so that it can be manually remediated (I found the bad file by process of elimination this time)?
Log files, with all trace messages enbaled, are attached, but here is a paste of the error:

Hi Team,
I have a requirement in moving data from one source to another source. My source is Oracle view and destination is SQL table. I need to insert the record from source to destination using script in BODS not query transform.
I have written code below
sql("sql datastore name", "insert into sqltablename (col1,col2) select col1,col2 from oracledatastorename.schemaname.tablename");
I am getting error "oracledatastorename.schemaname.tablename doesn't exist".
could you please help me to resolve this issue or is there any other technique we can use in BODS but i don't want to use Query transform.
Thanks,
Sundaram

Hi There,
Does anyone come along with the following error, please guide me with this.
I have been trying to import/load Excel Workbook.

Yet I am unable to import the schema... FYI I tried loading both .xls and .xlsx files but both aren't getting loaded.

Hi experts,
In our Data Services and Information Steward environment we have set up a Business Objects environment with Information Platform Services (4.1 support pack 4).
In order to automate the process, the information steward task job should start after Data Services job has finished successfully. Therefore I use the schedule event in the CMC as stated in the next article: How to schedule Information Steward task to run after Data Services job is completed? - Enterprise Information Managemen…
1. Data Services job extracts the data from the source application(s) and loads it in the staging repository.
2. Information Steward profiling tasks and rule validation tasks run against the staging repository.
3. Optionally there may be another Data Services job that moves the ‘Failed Data’ identified by Information Steward into a data mart to enable custom BI reporting.
Problem: the Information Steward task job always starts at the same time when the Data Services job starts, so the event gets triggered before the Data Services job is completed. Is there any workaround on this issue?
Thanks in advance.
