Can I Use Business Objects As A Data Source?
Apr 3, 2007
We have decided to use business objects in our new application, which seems to be working well, since they can be used as a binding source for grids, etc.
I am trying to evaluate whether SSIS is a practical solution for our ETL requirements. The problem is, I can't find any examples or references, or even the slightest hint that anyone is using them with business objects. Any attempts to search yield a ton of results which are based on a commercial product called "Business Objects" rather than the design pattern.
It is currently a requirement of our development team that all data access must be done via business objects, rather than communicating directly with the database.
Can anyone provide some more information (besides just suggesting I write a custom connection manager)? Is there anyone who has actually made SSIS work with business objects?
Thanks, Richard

Ok, probibly an easy question but I haven't been able to find what I am looking for.
If I have a simple class (see below), how would I make the People List avalible to build a report off of?
Thanks

Code Snippetpublic class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; set;}
public string LastName { get; set;}
}
// and put them into a list
List <Person> People = new List<Person>();
People.Add(new Person () { FirstName = "Joe", LastName = "User"});
People.Add(new Person () { FirstName = "Jane", LastName = "Smith"});

We have a user who uses Business Objects to run queries on the database. They are reporting that the query can lock the database up and that they were told at a conference that there is a setting which can aleviate this problem, but they are not sure if it is in SQL Server or Business Objects.
Anyone got any idea what they are talking about?

Have to build DR solution and subj is a part of it.
Maybe some one has done it already€¦ share the experience please.
Dr in my case will between 2 different data centers, replication is san 2 san so on other side I have a warm standby that does not see san disks and will become active if and only if the primary data center is down, windows domain is the same, ip addresses, names of the servers are different. How a cluster will behave is interesting as well (I mean CE is on cluster, not geo distributed cluster).
I have CE90. I€™m talking to their tech support that seems to be outsourced, they didn€™t really produce in 5 days anything more then a part of their own documentation in pdf format for CE version I do not use J€¦
So I€™m wondering maybe somebody had to walk similar path already€¦

Hi,I am evaluating Microsoft Reporting Services against Business Objectsas a reporting tool against SQL Server. I am primarily a BOBJdeveloper and am finding RS not easy to use. Can anyone provide anyfeedback to the overall comparison between these 2 products as I amfinding RS frustrating and am wondering if it is just a matter ofre-adjusting and spending more time on it or if anyone else is findingRS more trickey to use than BOBJ as wellI would be extremely grateful for any feedback.Many thanks in advanceLA

I was wondering if it is possible to use a generic list object to use as the datasource/data for a report? Right now we use these business objects to display information on our website and would be great it we could re-use those objects and create reports based on them. We are doing some calculations etc in the business layer to build these objects, so if we could re-use, that would be best.
Thanks!

passing serialised objects to a stored procedure for the purpose of data inserts. I see this as being a way to handle multiple row inserts efficiently.
However, in my limited use of XML data I am not so sure how to link the data when I have a dependency on another "object" within the serialised XML.
Below is a code snippet showing what I have so far.
The first insert statement works fine - but how to retrieve the identifier created by the DB - I want to use an SQL statement that finds the record in the table based on the XML representation (of the PluginInfo), allowing me to insert the ConfigurationInfo with the correct reference to the PluginInfo
DECLARE @Config NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @Handle AS INT
DECLARE @TransactionCount AS INT
SELECT @Config = '
<ConfigurationDirectory >
<ConfigurationInfo groupKey="Notifications" sectionKey="App.Customization.PluginInfo"
[code]....

Hi
In this code how can I create a new data source and new data source view and model and structure that it run dynamic.
In this code I have a lot of errors, that they are about server and database don€™t have in current code,
In this code, first I should definition server or no?
Database dbNew = new Database (databaseName,
Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID(databaseName, typeof(Database)));
srv.Databases.Add(dbNew);
dbNew.Update(true);
***********************************************************
How can I create data source and data source view and model and structure?
Please say code of that, and guide me.
databasename and srv is unknown.
Do I add other reference with analysis services?
Please explain about these codes:
************************************************************************
1)
RelationalDataSource dsNew = new RelationalDataSource(
datasourceName,
Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID(
datasourceName,
typeof(RelationalDataSource)));
db.DataSources.Add(dsNew);
dsNew.ConnectionString = connectionString;
dsNew.Update();
2)
RelationalDataSourceView rdsv;
rdsv = db.DataSourceViews.Add(
datasourceviewName,
Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID(
datasourceviewName,
typeof(RelationalDataSourceView)));
rdsv.DataSourceID = ds.ID
***************************************************************
3)
OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection(ds.ConnectionString);
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(
"SELECT * FROM [" + tableName + "] WHERE 0=1", cn);
OleDbDataAdapter ad = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet dss = new DataSet();
ad.FillSchema(dss, SchemaType.Source);
*************************************************************
4)
// Make sure we have the name we thought
dss.Tables[0].TableName = tableName;
// Clone here - the original DataTable already belongs to a DataSet
rdsv.Schema.Tables.Add(dss.Tables[tableName].Clone());
rdsv.Update();
5)
MiningStructure ms = db.MiningStructures.Add(miningstructureName, Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID(miningstructureName,
typeof(MiningStructure)));
ms.Source = new DataSourceViewBinding(dsv.ID);
ms.CaseTableName = "Customer";
Add columns:
ScalarMiningStructureColumn smsc;
// From table "Customer" we will add a couple of columns
// CustomerID - key
smsc = new ScalarMiningStructureColumn("Customer ID",
Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID("Customer ID", typeof(ScalarMiningStructureColumn)));
smsc.IsKey = true;
smsc.Content = "Key";
smsc.KeyColumns.Add("Customer", "customer_id", OleDbType.Integer);
ms.Columns.Add(smsc);
*******************************************
6)
MiningModel mm = ms.MiningModels.Add(miningmodelName,
Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID(miningmodelName,
typeof(MiningModel)));
mm.Algorithm = "Microsoft_Decision_Trees";
mm.Parameters.Add("COMPLEXITY_PENALTY", 0.3);
MiningModelColumn mc = new MiningModelColumn("Customer ID",
Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID("CustomerID",
typeof(MiningModelColumn)));
mc.SourceColumnID = ms.Columns["Customer ID"].ID;
mc.Usage = "Key";
mm.Columns.Add(mc);
mm.Update();
Please exactly say, whatever I want
Thanks a lot for your answer
Please don€™t move this question because I don€™t know where I should write this.

I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?
Thanks in advance

Does anyone have a successful prescribed sequence for installing VS2005 and Business Intelligence Reports Projects on a Vista Business workstation to be used to create reports for a server?
I've looked through everything I can find here and I don't seem to see a clear solution without a lot of trial and error.
Fact is, I've not been successful getting just the reports to install on a plain XP box. Of course, the report creation looks fine on the server but I don't want to work directly on the server.
Thank you

Can anyone take me through synchronization of contacts within Business Contacts Outlook into Microsoft Small Business Accounts?
I run a stand alone PC with NO network. When SBA came SQL was also installed. Apparently you can synchronise Contacts within Business Contacts with SBA but both SBA & Outlook should work through the same SQL server.
Has anyone tried this?
Can someone walk me through the process?
Thanks

Today I was making a few reports.
When I tested the reports in Visual Studio, they worked great: I got the expected result.
But when I deployed the reports to our reportserver the problem started.
When I click on the directory in which my reports are deployed, I got my 4 reports.
Till now everything worked correct.
But when I click on a report to view the results it went wrong.
I got an error:
"Cannot create a connection to data source 'Live'"
(Live is the name of our data source).
We are using the Windows Logons and I am sure that I have all the rights on the server, I gave myself 'sysadmin' rights, so it should work.
I also have tried it with all the roles assigned on my account, but then it still won't work.
When I modify the data source, and set it to another server en database it works.
The datasource 'Live' exists on a x64 MsSQL server, en the other datasource is on a x86 MsSQL server.
Maybe that is the problem?
Can someone tell me what is wrong?

I was trying to load data using SSIS, Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source, source was a view to a OLE DB Destination (SQL Server). This view returns 420,591 rows from Query Analyzer in 21 seconds. Row length is 925. When I try to executed the Data Flow Task from SSIS, I had to stop the process after 30 minutes, because only 2,000 rows had been retrieved. I modified the view to retun top 440, 000 and reran. This time all 420, 591 rows were retrieved and written in 22 seconds. Next, I tried to use a TOP 100 Percent. Again, only 2,000 rows were return after 30 minutes. TempDB is on a separate SAN Raid group with 200 gig free, Databases on a separate drive with 200 gig free. Server has 13 gig of memory and no other processes were executing.
The only way I could populate the table was by using an Execute SQL Task and hard code an Insert into table selecting data from the view (35 seconds) from SSIS.
Have anyone else experience this or a similar issue? Anyone have a solutionexplanation?

Hello everybody,
There have been a lot of promising words around about data mining for (at least) the last decade. If one investigates how much data mining is applied in business, it can be concluded that this is rather limited. Currently I am investigating the possible causes of this limited data mining usage for my Master Thesis of Industrial Engineering and Management. This investigation includes a literature study and input a couple of experts from the data mining field.
Currently I want to check my results for two aspect with aid of other data mining practitioners:
Is my analysis of possible causes complete (iow: what is missing?)
Are the identified causes recognized confirmed or rejected by data mining practitioners?
In order to proceed with my verification, I am looking for data mining practitioners, who are willing to give feedback on my work. I will send the participants a document with my findings to enable them to give their comments and other kind of feedback. (Or is it a better idea to start the discussion right here in this forum, let me know!) I think that my findings might be useful for every practitioner in the field and encourage you to participate.
Are there any people in this forum, who are willing to participate? In return you will receive my final results, which may be valuable for you as well.
Thanks!

I have a large query that returns a list of records that are marked by day of the business week (Monday, Tuesday, Wed, etc).
I am running into a challenge where I need to provide summaries of data from those days. For example, it needs to look like this:
Date | Day of Week | Total Widgets |
09/01/06 | M | 4
09/02/06 | Tu | 5
09/03/06 | We | 6
09/04/06 | Th | 7
09/05/06 | Fri | 8
Total Widgets: 30
09/08/06 | M | 1
09/09/06 | Tu | 2
09/10/06 | We | 3
09/11/06 | Th | 4
09/12/06 | Fri | 5
Total Widgets: 15
I'm using Reporting Services to format and display the report.
I've got the group by working for the entire data set, but I need to separate it by these sections. Any assisntance is appreciated.

I am interested for tips/pointers on Remote Data replication using SQL 2005. Let's say there are 2 sites (A and B). I plan to have site A comprised of 2 SQL servers (1 active and 1 on standby). Site B will have the same configuration. If site A becomes disasterous then Site B will come up with zero loss of data or minimal loss of data. Will SQL data replication provide solution? or I need to look at other methods. By the way, both sites have servers attached to SAN storage. Thanks in advance;

I need to find a solution for having the same database objects on two servers without the data, and be able to synchronize them on demand.
Whenever a table changes (alter, create, delete) I need to be able to replicate those changes to the destination server without affecting its data.
If I add, alter or delete a stored procedure, or other objects such as functions, etc. I need to be able to see those changes on the destination.
any ideas.

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know if there are any licence implications (SAP side) against Microsoft .NET Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite?
I heard from a colleague that if my SQL Server has (for example) 5 users, if SQL does connect to SAP, it would require the user license of 5 more users?
If there any implications similar to this one with SAP?
