Is there any provision to access the physical data(in table format or something) from essbase directly??
We want to migrate data from Hyperion Essbase 9.3.1 to SAP SSM.
Please help, if you have any idea about this.
Regards,
Sreenath
You have some alternatives:
Use a Data Integration (ETL) tool that support Essbase (Oracle Data Inegrator, Informatica Power Center, IBM Data Stage)
You can export Essbase Data to a file (using Calc Script or Report Script)
You can use the java api to access the data from other language/application
You can even try some MDX connector to extract that data. However, I will just make some txt Report to extract the data according to your specifications

I want to make a report with data from a dataset shared with me within BigQuery. The problem is when I connect to the database I can only see "My Project" and "Public Datasets".
Power BI screen
BigQuery screen
Is this because I we can't see datasets which are shared with us and which haven't been created by us?
Or is it a problem with the Power BI connector?
To answer your questions:
Q: Is this because I we can't see datasets which are shared with us and which haven't been created by us?
A: You should be able to see datasets that are shared with you even if you haven't created it. If someone shared one with you, you probably got an email saying:
John Doe has shared the BigQuery dataset <PROJECT_NAME>:<DATASET_NAME> with you. To access this dataset, you can use the BigQuery browser tool or the BigQuery command line tool.
When using the BigQuery browser tool, you may need to add project <PROJECT_NAME> for display by following the instructions here.
From this link you can view the steps to perform to add the project from which the dataset has been shared to your own project.
Q: Is it a problem with the Power BI connector?
A: I would suggest you to reach out to the Power BI Support team to have them answer this question since I'm not familiar with this tool.
We use IBM Cognos Connection. I'm not entirely sure how it works. But we login on the web and run queries off it.
I am aware that Excel can use ODBC to directly import data from a database into the spreadsheet.
What I am unsure of is that - is IBM Cognos Connection a database? or just a reporting tool? I would like to get the data directly into excel, instead of running reports online. Is this possible, if so how?
IBM Cognos is a Bi tool it is sophisticated than a regular reporting tool. It is not a database rather it needs one to work with.
IBM Cognos comes with a tool called report studio where you can assemble the data sources and perform manipulations to view a neat report with a chart or a table.
You can however replace using Cognos with an Excel, provided you understand all the logic that has gone into stitching the report in Cognos. You will need to write all those logics in SQL to get the report in excel.
I have a google doc that I'm using to update a table in a sql table and at the moment I do it manually; copy and paste the data from the google doc. into excel, remove the columns that I don't need then save as a CSV and upload.
I'm wondering if there is a way that I can automate this? The report it's for is daily and the upload is becoming a bit of a bore!
You can also go the python-route by utilising the following python libraries: gspread, oauth2client, pandas and sqlalchemy (source). If you want to automate it, use cron or crontab to run your python-script on a hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis.
What DBMS do you use?
If you use Microsoft SQL Server, you can use SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services), the easiest way to do this for a novice would be to right-click on the database in SQL Server Management Studio --> Tasks --> Import Data, then follow the wizard to set up the data source (flat file / Excel file etc.) and the data destination (DB table). Once you've finished with the wizard, you can save the package and re-use it later on (or even automate it via SQL Agent job). You can edit the package in Visual Studio (aka SQL Server Data Tools) prior to deployment/automation if needed.

I would like to load data from SQL server to SAP BW using SSIS. Could some one help me on it how can i do it. Currently i am using sql server 2005.
Why would you use SSIS for that?
I would recommend either load using SAP BW standard anyDB source system or using BO Data Services.
Both do it natively and well.
If you insist, look at:
https://theobald-software.com/en/xtract-is-productinfo.html
They have the following feature:
Xtract IS BW Loader
With the Xtract IS BW Loader data target, you can reroute data streams within your SSIS data flow directly in your SAP BW system.
The corresponding BW InfoPackage is automatically triggered and filled in.
Of course, the component is based exclusively on the required SAP standard (staging BAPIs for third-party vendors).
The following screenshot shows how the pipeline elements can be linked within the Integration Services with the transfer structure.
I'm getting data as an Access file.
My application uses MySQL/Java. I'd like to parse the Access data, and stick it in MySQL.
Is there a Java tool that will help me do this?
MDB Tools is a set of open source libraries and utilities to facilitate exporting data from MS Access databases (mdb files) without using the Microsoft DLLs. Thus non Windows OSs can read the data.
If this is a one time conversion just use MS-Access, link to your MySQL database tables and use update queries to transfer the data.
If your app needs to import Access data into MySQL on a continuing basis you could connect to Access via ODBC and then have your app write the data to MySQL.
