Is there any standard data source available for FM 'CRM_ORDER_READ'?
I want to pull CRM data to BW using standard data source.
Thanks.
There are a bunch of CRM order related extractors (search RSA5), but you need to have clear insight what type of order information and schema you expect.
If you actually seek full control like you have with CRM_ORDER_READ, you best chance is to write your own generic extractor. Follow this guide

I would like to improve the quality of existing data by using the Google BigQuery API to help validate the accuracy of existing data.
I dont see information on the types of data elements contained in the BigQuery and dont understand how to use an API if I just want to see what types of data are contained in there.
I tried looking for instructions and data elements in the Google Health Care API and Google BigQuery documentation and only saw how to set up a payment option.
I am a newbie at programming and wanted to do some preliminary research on these data sets prior to bringing them to our technical team.
I expect to see a list of relevant results based on a custom query.
You can see the data types supported
by Google BigQuery here and the conversion between different types here.
Also you can try out the BigQuery APIs in the OAuthPlayGround.
I am looking for ways to validate data that tableau generates. I know we cannot access elements from the tableau server itself but has someone approached in some way to tackle the data validation for the reports? I am very much interested in learning what type of testing is possible around tableau and its reports.
Thanks in Advance,

We have a testing group that follow behind our workbook developers and test functionality and validity of calculations. One of their primary methods is to examine (sometimes download to Excel) the underlying data which should include fields from the originating data source in addition to the results of calculated fields.
Using PowerBi we cannot find any way to mix data coming from SQL Server Analysis Services with other data sources (Excel to make it easy).
As soon as we select the SSAS data source, the new source button is greyed and no way to use it.
Trying the inverse (Excel first) seems to work but importing specific SSAS data (which in our case is several milion rows) so in fact is hardly usable as we have to know in advance what columns are we going to use for every report ... not quite user friendly!
Is there any way to do it the "logical" way?
thks
PowerBI does not allow to mix DirectQuery with other data sources.
If it fits your task you could use your source in Import mode instead.

I may be completely off-track, but is it possible to use BO universe as a Source to my SSIS/SSRS.
We've been given a task recently where we've to tap into BO to make SSRS reports. Can we do that?
And if need be can we use that as a source to SSIS for any further transformation.
Also - please help in providing link on how to do it. Google provided me only links where SQL is a source instead of destination.
Thank you for your help.
You can, if:
you can query the universe using the REST interface (i.e. web service)
you can consume the OData flow that is returned as the result set
For more information, have a look at SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe Connector Technical Guide.
There are some requirements regarding the version of BusinessObjects and the type of universe you're using:
SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.1 SP2 or later are supported
the universe has to be created with the Information Design Tool (i.e. have a .UNX extension)
The current limitations are described in the aforementioned article.
You cannot use Business Objects Universes as a data source in SSIS/SSRS. Universes do not contain data, they are simply an abstraction layer that generates SQL for reporting.
You also cannot link SSRS/SSIS to Business Objects to use universes to generate SQL for downstream use. The links simply do not exist.
My requirement is to display source code of RFC. I have a non SAP environment. I believe SAP stores RFC source in one of the tables. If i know the table and column, I can fetch this info. Can anybody share info on this?
Thanks
If i know the table and column, i can fetch this info.
The table is REPOSRC, the column is DATA - good luck.
(For those reading along, the source is stored in a compressed form that is not suitable for external access.)
If you're not commited to your brute-force approach, you could use the function module RPY_FUNCTIONMODULE_READ_NEW - this will return the source as well. Be aware that the source will be of limited use because it will most likely use tons of other stuff from other programs and includes.
