Dear All
We are facing the issue in Information Steward login.It gives the error saying cannot connect to repository.While I am able to login to repository through oracle.This issue happens suddenly,it was working fine 2 days befor.All the server are running fine.Here attaching the screen shot of the error.Please find the details of the server and tool:-\
Windows server 2008 R2 enterprise
SAP IPS-4.1 SP2
SAP DS-4.2 SP1
SAP IS-4.2 SP1
I've created a view and filtered it to produce a single row result.
LIFNR_Account_Number_of_Vendor | AEDAT_Shipment_Last_Changed |
10033970 | 20091215 |
The AEDAT field is a nvarchar(8) at database source (HANA), and a varchar(8) in the Info Steward View Output Schema.
Now, I need to change this value to a date type, so I did this in the field mapping:
to_date(Views.Shipment_Header_TOTAL.AEDAT_Last_Changed_on, 'yyyymmdd')
That validates perfectly, but when I preview data, everything falls apart.
The error message is jibberish to me, and I cannot see any meaningful clues.
Can anyone shed some light on what's occurring ?
Many Thanks
Simon

Hi IS expert,
Apologize for this question from a novice user. I just want to know will the metadata manager works well for linear data and impact analysis if standalone IS is installed and not sharing the common Business Intelligence Platform with BI4?
I reckon it should works for IS version 4.2 Patch2 as per Note 1907168 and i just need some confirmation on below question posted on Information Steward Deployment - Guidelines on sharing BI Platform Vs. Standalone Install - Enterprise Information Manag…
"
Note: - Starting 4.2 SP1 release (4.2 GA release), 'Standalone Deployment' using Information Platform Services offers same level of 'Simplified User Experience for BI users' with ability to view lineage from WEBI report or BI Launchpad as well as ability to access Metapedia terms associated with a report from BI Launchpad. For Information Steward 4.1 or earlier release 'Simplified User Experience for BI Users' was available only when Information Steward was deployed on 'Shared BI Platform'. This limitation is removed in Information Steward 4.2 SP1 release."
What's the exact meaning for the above, does it means starting from 4.2 SP1, linear data and impact analysis should work even without sharing the common BIP platform? And if yes, below steps from note 1907168 should be the right source to configure?
Additional Support
For the new installation, the supported landscape is
Your kind input is very much appreciate.
Thanks,

I am trying to promote a project from our Dev instance to QA but when I do 9 of the 30 Views are skipped with an XML error. I am aware of the known issue with the project name in the xml and have opened the files to remove that. The import of the project runs successfuly but it skips views causing downstream rules and bindings to fail when it doesn't find the view it is referencing. I have checked the xml tags in the files and they are all well form and I don't see any formatting that is different than files that uploaded successfully.
Below is the exact error msg I am seeing in the log file:
while trying to invoke the method com.sap.icc.virtualView.ColumnReferenceType.getColumnArray() of an object returned from com.sap.icc.virtualView.MappingDefinitionType.getColumnReference()
Failed to read XML content for View {0}. Skipping import of this view. (UIM-10071)
Any suggestions on what this could be related to would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I am hoping someone can help. We are running Information Steward 4.0 and are receiving the following error when Viewing Data in Data Insight.
ODBC error: SELECT query <SELECT ‘Material_Ojbect”…..>failed. The database error message is <SQL submitted to ODBC data source <CEDSQ802\D2A> resulted in error…. When selecting “View Data” option to view an external database.
The connections test successfully in the CMC. Additionally I am able to browse to the metadata to add new tables etc. I am just not able to "view data' within those tables.
Hello all,
I recevied an error when I tried to view data inside a view that I have created:
Data Services execution failed for /opt/eim/app/dataservices/bin/al_engine
Error:
COR-10690.
After trying a second time I recevied a more comprehensive error message:
Data Services execution failed for /opt/eim/app/dataservices/bin/al_engine. Error :
(14.1) 04-01-14 10:02:41 (E) (2963:239534432) R3C-151001: |Data flow vviewdf_4220_c8aa96ca_f4f9_418c_abee_6411a7179726|Reader EID_2_IS_VIEW_RDR_4220_47 Error calling RFC function to get table data: <RFC_ABAP_EXCEPTION-(Exception_Key: TABLE_NOT_AVAILABLE, SY-MSGTY: E, SY-MSGID: DA, SY-MSGNO: 300)>. (COR-10690)
My first assumption was that I did not have access to one of the tables, but when I checked I am able to vew data inside the four tables that are making up this view.
The Information Steward version that I am using is IS 4.1 (14.1.1.220)
Has anyone encourtered this issue before?

Hi
I was wondering what is the best way of viewing data lineage in a Web Intelligence doc. In previous versions of BusObj you could (manually or otherwise) add source information in the Universe in the object definition and this can then be displayed when viewing a web doc.
However this doesn't seem to be the case anymore with SIS and BO4. Is the expected workflow for a report user would be to logon to SIS and then locate the lineage information there?
thanks

I created a view with the following mappings in in the output schema:
Column 1 : "VENDOR_BANKING".BANKN_Bank_Account_Number
Column2 : substr("VENDOR_BANKING".BVTYP_Partner_Bank_Type, 1, 3)
Column 3 : Count("VENDOR_BANKING".BANKN_Bank_Account_Number)
To enable the aggregation of C3, I obviously want to GROUP BY the first 2 columns.
However, in the Group By tab, there are only 2 options:
> Propose Columns
> Remove
"Propose" adds in all non aggregation columns, but ignores my custom mapping.
So where above, I have selected a SUBSTR of field BVTYP, the Propose action actually adds in :
"VENDOR_BANKING".BVTYP_Partner_Bank_Type
.
i.e. the Entire column, with no substring.
For the life of me, I cannot see an option to manually edit this mapping !?
Obviously this will produce incorrect output .... can anyone advise if I'm missing something here ?
or is a bug ?
Many Thanks
Hi all,
I have configured a scorecard in Information Steward. The failed records are stored in a database (Microsoft SQL Server 2008)
and it's possible to show these failed records via "view failed data" in Information Steward.
When I try to "view more failed data" as a next step, I'm getting the following error:
com.sap.isws.faileddata.FDException: Table alias not found. Response returned: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ViewDataReply xmlns="http://www.sap.com/DataServices/ViewDataXSD" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns1="http://www.sap.com/DataServicesObjects/DataServicesObjectsXSD" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sap.com/DataServices/ViewDataXSD D:\ViewDataServer\XSD\ICC_ViewData\ViewDataReply.xsd"><ID>ViewData.ViewData.SharedSP1.235f209e-281c-4c5c-8cc7-27ca760ffaab</ID><Status><StatusCode>Success</StatusCode></Status><HeaderInfo><ns1:Column Name="TABLE_ALIAS" DataType="varchar" Size="30" ></ns1:Column></HeaderInfo></ViewDataReply>.(FDS-101)
Information Steward and Data Services are both up to date. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
We have a requirement to extract all the BOE user group-user list to excel/flat file
I looked under User Group in Metadata Management and this view displays the Application user count group wise but I would like to get a consolidated list in one go rather than individually selecting a group to view the user names. I also selected few groups to Object Tray and then tried to export to Universe/CWM hoping predefined semantic structure will be created, but getting an error there.
lastly, I looked under 'Reports' but couldn't find any predefined report for user list group wise
Kindly advise on how we can extract the consolidated BOE user group-user list from Information Steward. You help is really appreciated.
Regards,
Ritesh
what is Prototyping Score card ?
Dear All,
I am new in Information steward space.
Can someone please explain how cleansing of data can be achieved through IS?
Do we essentially need the BODS jobs to be created to clean up the data.
Tanks in advance.

I'm planning to install IS 4.2 SP1 + DS4.2 SP1 and IPS 4.1 SP2 on windows 2008 server.
We have a BI 4.0 SP4 environment up and running on separate Windows 2008 server(s).
My question is will I be able to use new lineage feature on my BI 4.0 SP4 environment after installing and configuring the remote job server on BI 4.0 server or it only works with BI 4.1 release onwards?
Can’t find this anywhere 
so need help from experts...
Many thanks..
I am trying to install information steward (IS) and configure the repository to an oracle 11g database.

Hi All,
I am facing a strange issue in Information Steward.
Following are the steps to create the issue I am facing :-
1. Create any view and define any rule on it.
2. In the workspace view click on the view created.
3. Switch to Rule Results in the right hand corner.
4. Click on the failed data in red and then click on View More failed data.
5. Once the data pops up. Try to export it to a csv.
I did these steps and I get duplicate entries under the Rule_Names section
For example :-
RULE_NAMES
6.16 Proposed changes Address, 6.16 Proposed changes Address
I am not able to understand the cause of this duplicate entry. Has anyone faced this strange issue and is there any solution?
