Data Integrator Release Notes

Compatibility and limitations update

Bulk loading Imported functions (imports Metadata for tables only) Template tables (creating tables) The datetime data type supports up to 2 sub-seconds only Data Integrator cannot load timestamp data into a timestamp column in a table because Attunity truncates varchar data to 8 characters, which is not enough to correctly represent a timestamp value.

The Adapter SDK no longer supports Native SQL or Partial SQL. Unsupported data type:

Unsupported data type is only implemented for SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, ODBC, DB2, Sybase ASE, Sybase IQ, Oracle Applications, PeopleSoft, and Siebel. Data Integrator can read, load, and invoke stored procedures involving unknown data types for SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, ODBC, DB2, Informix, Sybase ASE, and Sybase IQ assuming these database servers can convert from VARCHAR to the native (unknown) data type and from the native (unknown) data type to VARCHAR. Data Integrator might have a problem loading VARCHAR to a physical CLOB column (for example, bulk loading or auto-correct load could fail). Note: Use the VARCHAR column in the physical schema for loading.

PeopleSoft 8 support is implemented for Oracle only. Data Integrator jobs that ran against previous versions of PeopleSoft are not guaranteed to work with PeopleSoft 8. You must update the jobs to reflect Metadata or schema differences between PeopleSoft 8 and previous versions.

Stored procedure support is implemented for DB2, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase ASE, Sybase IQ, and ODBC only. Teradata support is implemented for Windows, Solaris SPARC, and AIX. On Teradata, the named pipe implementation for Teradata Parallel Transporter is supported with Teradata Tools and Utilities version 8 or later compatible version. Teradata Tools and Utilities version 7.0 and 7.1 are not supported with named pipes. Bulk loading data to DB2 databases running on AS/400 or MVS systems is not supported. Data Integrator Management Console can be used on Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 SP1 or 6.0 SP2. Earlier browser versions may not support all of the Administrator functionality.

Data Integrator Release Notes

Compatibility and limitations update

Data Integrators View Data feature is not supported for SAP R/3 IDocs. For SAP R/3 and PeopleSoft, the Table Profile tab and Column Profile tab options are not supported for hierarchies.

DB2 Java Library limitations All Web applications in the Management Console will not work with a DB2 repository under any of the following conditions:

db2java library is incompatible with DB2 client. For example, DB2 Client is version 8.1 and db2java library is version 8.2, or db2java library is not generated for JDBC 2 driver, or the java class path variable is not properly set to the corresponding java library, or the DB2 JDBC shared library (e.g. libdb2jdbc.so on AIX) is not compatible with the Java JDBC 2 driver The Administrator stops working or crashes after you configure the DB2 repository. Find any error and warning messages related to the DB2 repository configuration in the log file. When testing your DB2 connection from the Administrator, the following errors appear in the Administrator log:

Under these conditions, you might see the following behavior:

BODI-3016409: fail to connect to repository.

Data Integrator Release Notes

11

Compatibility and limitations update

BODI-3013014: didn't load DB2 database driver.

In this release, the db2java JDBC 2 driver version of DB2 8.1 and DB2 8.2 are provided. On Windows, find the different version of these libraries LINK_DIR/ext/lib

db2java.zip (by default) DB2 8.2 version db2java_8.1.zip DB2 8.1 version

By default, the db2java.zip of version 8.2 will be used. If you run with a DB2 8.1 Client, you must:

replace with version 8.1 of db2java.zip make sure the compatible DB2 JDBC shared library is in the shared library path restart the web server service on Windows or restart the job service on UNIX

If you run with other DB2 Client versions, you must obtain the corresponding java library with the JDBC 2 driver. Please refer to IBM DB2 documentation for how to obtain the correct java library.

Informix native-driver support on UNIX requires a fix in the Informix Client SDK for IBM bug number 167964. Please contact IBM for a patch that includes this bug fix. Note: IBM is targeting inclusion of this bug fix in Client SDK version 2.90. Data Integrator supports files greater than 2 GB only in the following cases:

Reading and loading large data files of type delimited and positional. Generating large files for bulk loader staging files for subsequent bulk loading by a native bulk loader utility (such as SQL Loader). Previewing data files from the file format page in Designer when the large files are on a UNIX Job Server. Reading COBOL copybook data files.

All other files generated by Data Integrator, such as log files and configuration files, are limited to 2 GB.

For the Microsoft Excel as a data source feature, the following limitations apply:

Concurrent access to the same Excel file might not work. For example, View Data might not display if the file is currently open in Excel. Because an Excel column can contain mixed data types, some data type conversions could produce unexpected results; for example, dates might convert to integers.

12

Data Integrator Release Notes

Software requirements for UNIX

Boolean formulas not supported. Workbooks with AutoFilter applied are not supported. Remove the filter before importing the workbook. Workbooks with hidden rows and/or columns are not supported. Stored procedures for MySQL are not supported due to limitations in the MySQL ODBC library.

The Data Integrator Salesforce.com adapter can connect to the Salesforce.com version 7 API; however, the new functionality added in API version 7 and above is not supported. The custom lookup field is the only exception (new in API version 7) and is supported in the Salesforce.com adapter. To ensure that your existing Salesforce.com adapter works properly, you must update the URL in the datastore so that it points to Salesforce.com 7.0 API, the new URL should be: https:// www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/7.0.

Software requirements for UNIX


Please observe the following requirements for UNIX systems.

Install JDK version 1.4.2 as described in the vendors documentation. (If the Daylight Savings Time update affects you, install the JDK patch, version 1.4.2.13 or higher, 1.4.x compatible version). The AIX maintenance level must be at least 5200-05. For all versions of AIX, the following file sets must be installed: Level 6.0.0.0 State Description

Migration considerations
Note: To use this version of Data Integrator, upgrade all existing Data Integrator repositories to version 11.7.0.0. This section lists and briefly describes all migration-specific behavior changes associated with this version of Data Integrator. To view migration-specific behavior changes from previous releases of Data Integrator, see Data Integrator Migration Considerations Version 11.7.2.0 available from the Business Objects Customer Support documentation page (http:// support.businessobjects.com/documentation/). Migration considerations for this release include:

Embedded data flows Oracle repository upgrade Solaris and AIX platforms Data quality Distributed data flows XML Schema enhancement Password management Web applications Web services

14

Data Integrator Release Notes

Migration considerations

Embedded data flows


In this version of Data Integrator, you cannot create embedded data flows which have both an input port and an output port. You can create a new embedded data flow only at the beginning or at the end of a data flow with at most one port, which can be either an input or an output port. However, after upgrading to Data Integrator version 11.7.2, embedded data flows created in previous versions will continue to run.

Oracle repository upgrade


If you previously upgraded your repository to Data Integrator 11.7.0.0 and you open the Object State Report on the Central repository from the Web Administrator, you may see the error "ORA04063 view ALVW_OBJ_CINOUT has errors". This occurs if you had a pre-11.7.0.0 Oracle central repository and upgraded the central repository to 11.7.0.0. Note: If you upgraded from a pre-11.7.0.0 version of Data Integrator to version 11.7.0.0, and you are now upgrading to version 11.7.2.0 (this release), this issue may occur, and you must follow the instructions below. Alternatively, if you upgraded from a pre-11.7.0.0 version of Data Integrator to 11.7.2.0 without upgrading to version 11.7.0.0, this issue will not occur, as it is fixed in 11.7.2.0. To fix this error, you must manually drop and recreate the view ALVW_OBJ_CINOUT using an Oracle SQL editor, such as SQLPlus. Use the following SQL statements to perform the upgrade:
DROP VIEW ALVW_OBJ_CINOUT; CREATE VIEW ALVW_OBJ_CINOUT (OBJECT_TYPE, NAME, TYPE, NORMNAME, VERSION, DATASTORE, OWNER,STATE, CHECKOUT_DT, CHECKOUT_REPO, CHECKIN_DT, CHECKIN_REPO, LABEL, LABEL_DT,COMMENTS,SEC_USER,SEC_USER_COUT) AS ( select OBJECT_TYPE*1000+TYPE,NAME, N'AL_LANG' , NORMNAME,VERSION,DATASTORE, OWNER, STATE, CHECKOUT_DT, CHECKOUT_REPO, CHECKIN_DT, CHECKIN_REPO, LABEL, LABEL_DT,COMMENTS,SEC_USER ,SEC_USER_COUT

Solaris and AIX platforms


Data Integrator 11.7.2.0 on Solaris and AIX platforms is a 64-bit application and requires 64-bit versions of the middleware client software (such as Oracle and SAP) for effective connectivity. If you are upgrading to Data Integrator 11.7.2.0 from a previous version, you must also upgrade all associated

16

Data Integrator Release Notes

Migration considerations

middleware client software to the 64-bit version of that client. You must also update all library paths to ensure that Data Integrator uses the correct 64-bit library paths.

Data quality
Data Integrator now integrates the BusinessObjects Data Quality XI (formerly known as Data Cleansing) application for your data quality needs, which replaces Firstlogics RAPID technology. Note the following changes to data cleansing in Data Integrator:

Depending on the Firstlogic products you owned, you previously had up to three separate transforms that represented data quality functionality: Address_Enhancement, Match_Merge, and Name_Parsing. Now, the data quality process takes place through a Data Quality Project. To upgrade existing data cleansing data flows in Data Integrator, replace each of the cleansing transforms with an imported Data Quality Project using the Designer. You will need to identify all of the data flows that contain any data cleansing transforms and replace them with a new Data Quality Project that connects to a Data Quality blueprint or custom project.

Data Quality includes many example blueprints that are sample projects that can serve as a starting point when creating your own customized projects. (You may need to modify the blueprints to work with your installation. Please see your Data Quality Documentation, including the Release Notes, for updated blueprint information.) If none of these blueprints work to your satisfaction, you can either save these blueprints as a project and edit them, or you can create a project from scratch. You must use the Project Architect, Data Qualitys graphical user interface, to edit projects or create new ones. Business Objects strongly recommends that you do not attempt to manually edit the XML of a project or blueprint. Each imported Data Quality project in Data Integrator represents a reference to a project or blueprint on the data quality server. The Data Integrator Data Quality projects allow field mapping. To migrate your data flow to use the new Data Quality transforms Install Data Quality XI, configure the server, and make sure it is started before you can use it in Data Integrator. Please refer to the Data Quality XI documentation for installation instructions. In the Data Integrator Designer, create a new datastore of type Business Objects Data Quality and connect to your Data Quality server.

Migration considerations

3.

Import the Data Quality projects that represent the data quality transformations you want to use. Each project will appear as a Data Quality project in your datastore. For the most common data quality transformations, you can use existing blueprints (sample projects) in the Data Quality repository. Replace each occurrence of the old data cleansing transforms in your data flows with one of the imported Data Quality transforms. You will also need to reconnect the input and output schemas with the sources and targets used in the data flow.

4.

When opening a data flow containing one of the old data cleansing transforms (address_enhancement, name_parsing, match_merge), you will still be able to see the old transforms in this release (although they are not available anymore in the object library). You can even open the properties and see the details for each transform. When validating a data flow that uses one of the old data cleansing transforms, you will get an error such as:
[Custom Transform:Address_Enhancement] BODI-1116074: First Logic support is obsolete. Please use the new Data Quality feature.

It is not possible to execute a job that contains data flows using the old data cleansing transforms (you will get the same error). Contact Business Objects Customer Support at http:// support.businessobjects.com/ if you need help migrating your data cleansing data flows to the new Data Quality transforms. Note: Data Integrator 11.7.2.0 allows you to reconcile Metadata for Data Quality datastores.

Distributed data flows


After upgrading to this version of Data Integrator, existing jobs have the following default values and behaviors:

Job Distribution level: Job All data flows within a job will be run on the same job server. The Cache type for all data flows: In-memory type Uses STL map and applies to all join caches, table comparison caches and lookup caches, and so forth.

The default for Collect statistics for optimization and Collect statistics for monitoring is cleared. The default for Use collected statistics is selected.

18

Data Integrator Release Notes

Migration considerations

Since no statistics are initially collected, Data Integrator will not initially use statistics.

Every data flow runs as a process (not as a sub data flow process).

New jobs and data flows you create using this version of Data Integrator have the following default values and behaviors:

Job Distribution level: Job The Cache type for all data flows: Pageable. The default for Collect statistics for optimization and Collect statistics for monitoring is cleared. The default for Use collected statistics is selected. If you want Data Integrator to use statistics, you must collect statistics for optimization first.

Every data flow is run as a single process. To run a data flow as multiple sub data flow processes, you must use the Data_Transfer transform or select the Run as a separate process option in transforms or functions. All temporary cache files are created under LINK_DIR/log/PCache directory. This option can be changed from the Server Manager.

XML Schema enhancement


Data Integrator 11.7 adds the new Include schema location option for XML target objects. This option is selected by default. Data Integrator 11.5.2 provided the key XML_Namespace_No_SchemaLocation for section AL_Engine in the Designer option Tools > Options > Job Server > General, and the default value, FALSE, indicates that the schema location is included. If you upgrade from 11.5.2 and had set XML_Namespace_No_SchemaLocation to TRUE (indicates that the schema location is NOT included), you must open the XML target in all data flows and clear the Include schema location option to keep the old behavior for your XML target objects.

Password management

All password fields are encrypted using two-fish algorithm starting in this release of Data Integrator. To simplify the process of updating new passwords for the repository database, this version of Data Integrator introduces a new password file feature. If you have no requirement to change the password to the database hosting your repository, you may not need to use this optional feature.

If you must change the password (for example, security requirements stipulate that you must change your password every 90 days), then Business Objects recommends that you migrate your scheduled or external job command files to use this feature. Migration requires that you regenerate every job command file to use the password file. After migrating, when you update the repository password, you need only regenerate the password file. If you do not migrate using the password file feature, then you must regenerate every job command file every time you change the associated password.

Web applications

The Data Integrator Administrator (formerly called the Web Administrator) and Metadata Reports interfaces have been combined into the new Management Console in Data Integrator 11.7. Now, you can start any Data Integrator Web application from the Management Console launch pad (home page). If you have created a bookmark or favorite that points to the previous Administrator URL, you must update the bookmark to point to http://computername:port/diAdmin. If in a previous version of Data Integrator you generated WSDL for Web service calls, you must regenerate the WSDL because the URL to the Administrator has been changed in Data Integrator 11.7.

Web services
Data Integrator is now using Xerces2 library. When upgrading to 11.7 or above and configuring the Web Services adapter to use the xsdPath parameter in the Web Service configuration file, delete the old Web Services adapter and create a new one. It is no longer necessary to configure the xsdPath parameter.

Resolved issues
Please refer to http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation for the latest version of these release notes, which includes resolved issues specific to version 11.7.2.0. The numbers below are sorted in ascending order and refer to the Business Objects ADAPT system Problem Report tracking number. ADAPT00534412 When creating a BusinessObjects Universe from Data Integrator using either Microsoft SQLServer or Sybase datastores, the table names are not qualified with the proper database name and owner name in the BusinessObjects Universe. This issue is resolved. Customers using Universe Builder must apply the BusinessObjects Enterprise CHF-13 patch level or later for this fix to take effect. Contact Customer Support for information on how to download CHF patches. See also ADAPT00534412 in the CHF-13 documentation for additional information regarding this fix. ADAPT00613822 When a DTD schema contains a standard XML header, adapters could not import the schema. This issues has been resolved. ADAPT00619275 In this release, Data Integrator uses a new version of the Xerce2 library that, when using Data Integrator web services, allows you to import a WSDL file that previously caused the following error, XML parser failed: Error <An exception occurred! Type:NetAccessorException. This issue is resolved. ADAPT00619336 When editing column and table descriptions in a datastore, the descriptions sometimes got lost. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00619350 Data Integrator always works in binary collation for the Table Comparison transform. If the comparison table sort order is not binary, Data Integrator will generate inconsistent results between cached, row-by-row, and sorted comparison methods. ADAPT00619352 When using regular loading and bulk loading for Microsoft SQL Server targets, decimal data rounding was not the same with the two loading methods. This problem has been addressed. ADAPT00619355 In Metadata Reports, the start timestamp for data flows displayed incorrectly. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00619357 In a data flow with an XML source containing a join with a nested query, the WHERE clause and ORDER BY clause now compile properly without getting an Unknown type error. ADAPT00619387 The push-down capability of Informix sources have been improved. Data Integrator now pushes down more queries to the Informix database for evaluation, and you can expect better performance in those scenarios.

Resolved issues

ADAPT00619393 Metadata Reports was not showing column mapping information. This is no longer an issue. ADAPT00619403 When importing Microsoft SQL Server tables from the Designer, locks would not release on SQL Server's tempdb database. This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00619413 When working with the Query transform in the Data Integrator Designer, outer join entries sometimes disappeared from the Query transform when modifying other parts of the Query transform. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00619414 The Profiler can now profile Microsoft SQL Server database tables that use NT authentication. ADAPT00619421 When importing a SQLServer table that contained an index with the index name size greater than 64, the table import operation failed. This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00619427 For Microsoft SQL Server datastores, if the table owner name is DBO and the CMS connection is also Microsoft SQL Server with a login user name of sa, the updated Universe will determine the new table schema to be new because DBO is compared to sa as owner name. Do not use Microsoft SQL Server as CMS connection with sa as the login name. ADAPT00619438 Data Integrator generated incorrect outer join syntax when accessing DB2 on AS/400. This issue has been fixed. ADAPT00619479 Due to a known Informix issue, two phase commit (XA) transactions in IBM Informix Dynamic Server could cause Data Integrator to fail when loading the data to an IBM Informix Dynamic Server or profiling data with Informix. The typical Informix errors are:
Could not position within a table

and
Could not do a physical-order read to fetch next row

The reference number from the IBM site is Reference# 1172548 http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21172548 ADAPT00619756 An issue with post-load commands in the table loader getting corrupted has been fixed. ADAPT00619781 After upgrading Data Integrator from 11.0 to 11.5 or 11.7, Metadata Reports failed with a Java error. This issue has been fixed. ADAPT00619824 When using the Profiler to profile a Microsoft SQL Server table containing columns of text data type, the profiling server now works properly.

Resolved issues

ADAPT00619835 When running Metadata Integrator with a clustered CMS environment, CMS machine names were used in the Metadata gathering. This caused the CMS machines to appear as separate systems in the Impact and Lineage reports. In this release, the name of the cluster is gathered by the Metadata Integrator. Because of this change in behavior, customers who are using clustered environment and have run the Metadata Integrator already against the CMS system will need to delete the data collected prior to this change. Please contact Business Objects Customer Support for details on how to perform this task. ADAPT00619871 When using an Informix version 7.3 datastore and client software 2.90, the Informix datastore now correctly imports tables into Data Integrator. ADAPT00619893 The profiler did not work properly for Oracle databases if the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS flag was set to char in a UTF-8 encoded repository. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00619934 The Data Integrator function is_valid_datetime() function returned true if the hour contained a value greater than 24. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00619969 Data Integrator jobs sometimes exited abnormally on the Linux platform if there was a lookup_ext function call to an Oracle database with a datetime column in the condition list. This fix applies to all UNIX platforms. ADAPT00620002 On Windows XP operating systems, columns in the query editor now appear correctly highlighted. ADAPT00620025 In the Administrator, you can now sort schedules by job name. ADAPT00620158 The Diff utility no longer shows that a column's data type and the nullable attribute is changed after changing owner name of the table. ADAPT00620297 Fixed-width file formats were not being created correctly from existing flat files. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00620308 When the Data Integrator-imported table schema contains a long column that does not match its associated data type in the database, it could cause an access violation error in the Data Integrator engine. This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00620314 When a real-time job terminated, two more instances of the jobs started. This problem has been fixed. Real-time jobs now start only once if terminated abnormally. ADAPT00620336 The documentation for Catch error types and groups was unclear. The Reference Guide and Designer Guide have been corrected to clarify that you specify exception groups, instead of individual error numbers, in a Try/Catch block. ADAPT00620338 The Designer could not import materialized views on an Oracle 10g database. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00620345 When validating a very large job, the Designer sometimes aborted because of depleted memory available on the system. This problem has been fixed.

ADAPT00620352 When monitoring job execution, on the Monitor tab, the columns Row count and Elapsed Time were not sorted in ascending order. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00620375 Data Integrator license keys sometimes did not work with dual Ethernet cards. This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00620377 When a DTD schema contained a standard XML header, adapters could not import the schema. This issue has been resolved. ADAPT00620665 When data type conversion was required in a Query mapping (for example when mapping a varchar column to an integer column), the Designer displayed warnings during validation, but an eror occurred at runtime. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00620689 The Data Integrator index() function was not pushed down to Oracle. The fix addresses this problem. Please note that there are slight differences between executing the index function within Oracle and executing the index function within Data Integrator. Check the instr() function documentation in the Oracle documentation for details. ADAPT00620882 Using the functions lpad and rpad sometimes lead to crashes such as an access violation. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00620958 Jobs that were running did not get displayed in the Administrator if the log retention period had been reached. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00621069 The following error was encountered when working with ABAP programs:
ABAP SYNTAX ERROR Without the addition "CLIENT SPECIFIED, you cannot specify...

This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00621143 When using a variable of type datetime in the Reverse Pivot transform in the Pivot Axis, the following warning is no longer thrown: Unexpected axis value <2003-08-15> found in transform. This issue is resolved in this release by providing variable support in the Reverse Pivot transform. ADAPT00621184 The passwords in some of the page of the Administrator are now encrypted properly. The text of the password can not be viewed under any circumstances now. ADAPT00621198 When using multiple datastore configurations for SAP datastores, the folder names between the configurations are no longer switched. ADAPT00621229 WSDLs generated by Data Integrator can be imported into a .NET environment. ADAPT00621278 In this release, Data Integrator has been enhanced to generate DTDs that can handle multiple rows.

ADAPT00621334 Data Integrator can now import an XML file as a large varchar column. Please note that when loading this data into a target database, most databases have a maximum size restriction for their character data columns. Please not the restrictions for your target database and design the Data Integrator jobs accordingly. ADAPT00621340 When a job has multiple validation transforms, the labels that appear in the DI_ERRORCOLUMN target table are now correct. ADAPT00621996 When entering Japanese characters in the Case Transform labels, you will no longer get an "Internal Application Error" when saving the dataflow. ADAPT00622074 If a user entered an invalid user name or password in the Administrator, the values remained in the fields. The password field will now clear. ADAPT00622121 When using a variable in the Error file name field in the flat file editor, a runtime error occurred when running the job. This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00622137 LONG and TEXT data type columns do not get profiled. ADAPT00622190 If load triggers were set up in a table loader, sometimes Data Integrator did not execute the regular load. This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00625180 Sometimes Data Integrator wrote incorrect data to the target loader overflow file if using the data type char. This issue has been solved. ADAPT00627739 The following error sometimes occurred when Data Integrator processed a complex nested COBOL copybook: Wrong sequence number for field ... This problem has been addressed. ADAPT00629178 In a Case transform, when entering a tab character in the expression field and saving the data flow, the text following the tab character disappeared. This issue has been fixed. ADAPT00631055 While loading data from a source database to a target database, Data Integrator generated the ORA-01461 error when using an Oracle database as repository. The NLS_CHARACTERSET of Oracle database is AL32UTF8. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00632204 During the export of a datastore, the user could not change the owner of a table or database stored procedure. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00633094 If a SQL transform was used in a data flow and the transform did not define an output schema, the data flow was corrupted. This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00633774 The JMS interface is not supported with IBM MQ Series 6.0. ADAPT00633872 The Data Integrator job failed when it contained very large COBOL copybook schemas. This issue was addressed by modifying the internal Data Integrator language generation to eliminate unnecessary fields and attributes.

Resolved issues

ADAPT00633885 Designer crashed when performing View data with a filter condition on file formats like COBOL copybook. The issued has been fixed. ADAPT00633919 If a Cobol copybook contained a REDEFINES clause and it was used together with the OCCURS clause, Data Integrator interpreted the data incorrectly. ADAPT00634484 If a WSDL from a third party already contains xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/ 2001/XMLSchema\", the Data Integrator Web Service could not import it. This problem was caused by Data Integrator automatically adding the string while getting the XSD for the message. This problem is fixed. ADAPT00635201 In the Data Integrator Designer, the trace logs are now sorted properly by date when clicking on the Date column header. ADAPT00635698 In the DB2 table loader, if the Use input key option is selected and if any generated UPDATE statements updated more than one row, the load failed. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00635475 A new option has been added for the Sybase IQ bulk loader that allows you to specify the row delimiter in the data file generated by Data Integrator. ADAPT00637736 In a real-time job, using the same data flow more than once caused an incorrect SQL INSERT statement to be generated. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00638268 When running Data Integrator with SAP R/3 version 3.x, the following error could occur:
BODI-1112339:Error:Cannot import the Metadata table <name=*-CCSS-KOSTL>. R/ 3CallReceive error <function Z_AW_TREE_IMPORT40: Call (PERFORM) to a non-existent routine.

This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00641650 When using the Ignore row marker option in the flat file format, data truncation could occur. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00642513 When importing a database link created in Microsoft SQLServer 2005, the Designer did not recognize the database link as a valid link. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00642531 When a COBOL copybook contained REDEFINES sections, the data for those fields was not processed properly by Data Integrator. This issue has been resolved. ADAPT00642556 When a data flow or a work flow runs in an infinite loop, the Data Integrator engine process (al_engine) leaked memory. This problem has been fixed. Data Integrator also now submits a slightly different SQL statement to Microsoft SQL Server to improve performance when retrieving changed data from the SQL Server replication server distribution database. ADAPT00644740 When defining a custom function in the Designer, the order of the input parameters was reversed in the function. This problem has been fixed.

ADAPT00645348 In Auto Documentation, the Case Transform did not display correctly. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00645757 The Repository Manager failed if the user upgraded a repository from a computer with a Designer-only Data Integrator installation. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00646862 For Microsoft SQLServer CDC readers, there is a new option in the source editor called Automatically delete rows after reading that lets users delete rows after reading them from the replication server to manage server volume. For example, if many rows collect on the replication server during a given retention period, performance could suffer. If you select this option, Data Integrator deletes only the rows that have already been read by all Data Integrator CDC readers and other named subscriptions (and also observes the retention period setting). However, if there are additional anonymous subscribers, Data Integrator is unable to identify them and could delete rows regardless of whether or not they have been read by those subscribers. A CDC reader subscription is not established until the first time a job with such a subscription is successfully executed. If in the CDC reader Automatically delete rows after reading option is selected, and this reader with this subscription has not been executed before in any other data flow, Data Integrator will assume that there is only one subscription and the data will be purged after reading. This behavior will stop after the job has been executed at least once. If that is not the desired behavior, try these workarounds: Do not enable Automatically delete rows after reading for the first run of the Data Integrator job to establish all subscriptions. If a CDC table has more than one subscription, check the Delete after reading option in one CDC source only and execute the corresponding job last. ADAPT00647533 The function get_domain_description() did not return a value when used with PeopleSoft 8.9 domains. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00647923 The Performance Optimization Guide incorrectly stated that if a data flow was not valid or saved, Data Integrator alerted you when you tried to view optimized SQL for the data flow. The guide has been corrected to state If a data flow is not valid, Data Integrator alerts you. ADAPT00648523 Fixed-width file formats were not generated correctly if the data file was located on a remote server. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00648631 When logging off from Windows where the Job Server is running, the Data Integrator jobs launched against this Job Server will now continue to run.

occurred when reading an XML file using the Designer. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00655407 The combination of UTF8 engine code page and MAP_CDC transform no longer generates the following warning: invalid Value <> found for row operation column. Previously, this problem only appeared on UNIX platforms. ADAPT00655691 Data Integrator sometimes generated virtual memory errors while executing jobs containing Oracle sources with varchar columns. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00655863 Data Integrator Web Services only supports the UTF-8 code page. ADAPT00656102 When reading a COBOL copybook that contains a REDEFINES clause, the data was not aligned properly when viewing the data from the Designer. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00656803 Dataflow now works correctly when a column in the Map Transform is designated as "optional" and the column is not mapped. ADAPT00657456 Validation conditions were not displayed in Auto Documentation. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00658378 Data Quality transforms are not supported for real-time jobs. ADAPT00658811 When creating a Data Integrator repository on IBM DB2, only the UTF-8 code page is supported. ADAPT00659178 When executing the Table Comparison transform in row-by-row mode with the History Preserving transform, Data Integrator added an extra current row to the output when encountering a certain type of input row. This situation occurred when the input of the Table Comparison contained rows where the primary key data and the compare column data were the same as the current row in the target. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00659451 In Auto Documentation, if a data flow contained a While loop, the While condition and the data flow did not display correctly. This issue has been addressed. ADAPT00661720 The Salesforce.com adapter occasionally encountered the Java error OutofMemory. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00667007 When using the bulk loader option in a Netezza target table, Data Integrator does not truncate spaces to null for character columns. ADAPT00668842 When performing Impact and Lineage analysis with Business Objects 6.5, the Universe impact does not contain WEBI document information. ADAPT00671056 The Metadata Integrator generated an error when the configuration instance name was set to something other than the default. This problem has been fixed.

ADAPT00672346 When using the smtp_to function to send e-mail, the send time and receive time were not synchronized. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00673438 Data Quality Project descriptions are not imported into Data Integrator Object Library. ADAPT00673927 In some cases, Data Integrator did not release connections to the Job Server and depleted system resources. This problem has been resolved. ADAPT00674212 When using the View Data functionality with a SQL Server 2005 CDC table, the following error no longer occurs if the last column in the table is a numeric type: cannot convert data <0> into type <DECIMAL> Context. ADAPT00674474 When editing Job Server information using the Server Manager, all of the Job Servers in the Server Groups appear. ADAPT00675249 On Linux, completed exec() function processes in a job stayed in a defunct state. This issue has been fixed. ADAPT00674212 When using the View Data functionality with a SQL Server 2005 CDC table, the following error no longer occurs if the last column in the table is a numeric type: Cannot convert data <0> into type <DECIMAL> Context Column. ADAPT00678466 When using the Oracle char size semantic to define a column data type as char or varchar, Data Integrator will not cause an oracle error at runtime when performing the binding process for the column. ADAPT00681355 In an Salesforce.com adapter, a CDC table can handle changes that are equal to or greater than 2000 records. ADAPT00682563 Importing an existing Data Quality project does not invalidate the data flow. ADAPT00682686 When inserting a string of blank characters to an Oracle column of data type char or nchar, blanks are inserted. ADAPT00683039 When a Job creates hundreds of DB2 connections to evaluate lookup function calls, they are not unnecessarily replicated by Data Integrator. ADAPT00683167 When creating sources or targets from tables from a datastore that uses persistent cache, view data operation is now available. ADAPT00685406 When exporting a data flow containing lookup_ext functions to a flat file, validation of the data flow sometimes failed when importing the data flow back into the Designer. This problem has been fixed. ADAPT00685442 If a non-US timezone is used with the Salesforce.com adapter, you will not encounter a problem when inserting/updating records. ADAPT00686674 Data Integrator web services do not shut down in the Windows environment when users are logged off. The web service stays up when users log off the Windows machine.

In this release, the double quotes are not displayed when viewing the CHAR data. ADAPT00688040 When you view monitor logs in the Web Administrator, the memory usage of the job server process will not increase. ADAPT00688861 If the Job Server dies unexpectedly, all the adapters still keep on running. This problem is resolved. The adapters now exits gracefully in this situation. ADAPT00688976 If the Web Service Adapter does not work due to an incorrect keystore path, you must restart the Tomcat server after you specify the correct keystore path. ADAPT00689618 You must have the same schema name as the MYSQL datastore user name to make data transfer transforms work with the automatic option. ADAPT00689651 When using a function inside the decode function, the parameter list of the nested function is processed properly. The ordering of the parameter is not reversed. ADAPT00691549 Outer joins are now evaluated properly if Data Integrator functions are used in the WHERE clause in the Query transform. ADAPT00691896 When calling a SQLServer 2000 stored procedure from Data Integrator, the varchar parameter value is now passed correctly. ADAPT00692414 When viewing complex jobs in Auto Documentation, the print functionality will not fail. ADAPT00694262 Auto Documentation for Data Quality transform now shows the description for the Data Integrator input fields. The unused Data Quality output fields are not displayed without showing the data type. ADAPT00695487 Both WIndows and UNIX server configurations allow Central repositories to be associated to a jobserver. ADAPT00695492 A warning message is not thrown when you attempt to login to the central repository. ADAPT00695837 When running a real-time job that contains an XML message format as a source as well as a XML format in the transform, you may encounter an error with WSDL generation if the real-job is published via Web Administrator. This problem has been addressed in this release. You will need to open the Job in the Designer and save the job for this fix to take effect. ADAPT00696321 In German regional settings, Teradata bulkloading loads the correct decimal data to target. ADAPT00696333 Data Integrator correctly reads data from a COBOL copybook that is in a German regional setting operating system.

ADAPT00736500 Under the following circumstances, the Profiler may stay in the pending state indefinitely: The repository is not connected to a job server.

The associated job server is not running. Please check the above before running the Profiler again.

ADAPT00738912 When performing an outer join with the "IN" keyword in the where clause, Data Integrator now correctly generates the correct SQL to push-down to the database. ADAPT00738936 There is a known issue with Data Quality projects that contain periods (".") in the field names. Although the projects can be imported from the Data Quality server, Data Integrator cannot correctly map these fields. The project can be used in a data flow as long as the fields containing periods are not used. A workaround for this problem is to rename any Data Quality project fields to use another character instead of the period. Business Objects suggest using the underscore character ("_"). ADAPT00741303 The Message Client sample (client_sample) program in the AccessServer directory has not been updated for this release. Please check the Business Objects Knowledge Base for any updates. ADAPT00742231 When the order of the columns in the query transform is different from the input columns of a Microsoft SQL Server bulk loader, the load operation now works correctly. ADAPT00742242 When the order of columns are changed in the query and the bulkloader is specified in the target, the job execution does not fail with an error when executed without trace on. ADAPT00743816 When the SQL SERVER NCHAR column is used in the primary key and compared column, the correct SELECT statement is selected for table comparison transform row-by-row option. ADAPT00743879 Data Integrator does not correctly handle Oracle UTF8 database the NCHAR data type in a table comparison row-by-row select option if the column is used in the primary key or compared column. In such a case, Data Integrator generates an incorrect SQL SELECT statement. As a result, the table comparison result is not correct.

Known issues
This section lists known issues in ascending order by Business Objects ADAPT system Problem Report tracking number. ADAPT00619350 Data Integrator always works in binary collation for the Table Comparison transform. If the comparison table sort order is not binary, Data Integrator will generate inconsistent results between cached, row-by-row, and sorted comparison methods. For Microsoft SQL Server datastores, if the table owner name is DBO and the CMS connection is also Microsoft SQL Server with a login user name of sa, the updated Universe will determine the new table schema to be new because DBO is compared to sa as owner name. Do not use Microsoft SQL Server as CMS connection with sa as the login name. Due to a known Informix issue, two phase commit (XA) transactions in IBM Informix Dynamic Server could cause Data Integrator to fail when loading the data to an IBM Informix Dynamic Server or profiling data with Informix. The typical Informix errors are:
Could not position within a table

ADAPT00619427

ADAPT00619479

and
Could not do a physical-order read to fetch next row

The reference number from the IBM site is Reference# 1172548 http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21172548 ADAPT00619744 To correctly configure Metadata Integrator for a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 CMS instance that is not on the same computer as Data Integrator, refer to the Business Objects Customer Support Web site and locate Knowledge Base article c2019073. When comparison tables are on Microsoft SQL Server, the Table Comparison transforms Sorted input option generates incorrect results. The Data Integrator engine runs in binary collation while the Microsoft SQL Server database runs in a Latin1 collation sequence. As a result, Microsoft SQL Server generates the data in a different sort order. This issue will be addressed in a later release. Use the Row-by-row select or Cached comparison table option in the Table Comparison transform. When you import a table by name and this table is the target table of a Table Comparison transform, the table comparison does not refresh the database changes. Open the Table Comparison transform to refresh the output schema.

Known issues

ADAPT00620168

When adding a very large project to a central repository, a large memory leak occurs. After adding large projects to a central repository, restart the Designer. Due to an issue in Attunity software, when using Attunity Connect to load into a DB2 table on MVS that contains varchar columns larger than 255, the data inserted into those columns is always an empty string regardless of what you actually insert. When using Attunity CDC, import from browser and import by name behave differently. For example, when you type either CDC_DSNX4612:PUBLIC or CDC_DSNX4612 as the owner name, the same table will be imported into the repository. When you import a table by name, always use the full owner name such as CDC_DSNX4612:PUBLIC and also define the alias for this full name. Other than table names, column names, file names, and file paths, Data Integrator does not support any non-ASCII characters that use the eighth bit (such as an umlaut) in Metadata (such as the owner name). The Import By Name functionality for the Web Services adapter is not working. The work-around is to use Metadata Explorer (browser) to import any Metadata from the Web Services adapter. Changed-data capture for Oracle 10g R2 does not support multibyte table or column names due to an Oracle limitation. Windows NT authentication for Microsoft SQL Server doesnt work for the Administrator and Metadata Reports. Use Microsoft SQL Server authentication instead. When using the Get by label option of the multiuser development interface with a non-existent label, Data Integrator returns the latest version of the objects. Auto-correct loading might fail for Microsoft SQL Server, ODBC, DB2, Informix, Sybase IQ, or Teradata databases if the data contains NULL termination characters at the end of varchar data. The auto-correct SQL does not generate properly. To work around this issue, use the rtrim_blanks_ext functions on columns that you know will contain NULL termination characters to trim the blanks. This issue also occurs with Sybase and Sybase IQ targets in regular load mode. Use the rtrim_blanks_ext to work around this issue for those databases as well. Data Integrator Web Services only supports the UTF-8 code page. When creating a Data Integrator repository on IBM DB2, only the UTF-8 code page is supported.

A Data Quality project cannot be imported if the project path name is longer than 230 characters. Data Quality Project descriptions are not imported into Data Integrator Object Library. Changing the Data Quality datastore parameters does not reflect the same changes in the properties page of the Data Quality transform. Restart the Designer to resolve the problem. Stopping a Data Integrator job will not stop the Data Quality process. Data Integrator should not import a project with more than one socket writer. If the Web Service Adapter does not work due to an incorrect keystore path, you must restart the Tomcat server after you specify the correct keystore path. The Adapter SDK has the following syntax limitation for DTDs that can be imported for use as an adapter source or target. Conditional syntax cannot be included in the DTD file. Sample syntax that fails:
<!-- Common ebXML header--> <!ENTITY % INCLUDE_EBHEADER "INCLUDE"> <![ %INCLUDE_EBHEADER; [<!ENTITY % eb:MessageHeader SYSTEM "ebHeader.dtd">%eb:MessageHeader;]]>

ADAPT00688056 ADAPT00688210 ADAPT00688976

ADAPT00695056

The following syntax is supported and produces the same result:


<!ENTITY % eb:MessageHeader SYSTEM "ebHeader.dtd"> %eb:MessageHeader;

This limitation only applies to DTD files read by an adapter, not those read by the Designer. It is important to note that the only file the adapter reads is the one configured in the adapter operation. Adapters do not read embedded DTD files.

Creating Microsoft Excel workbook file formats on UNIX platforms


Note: This new section will appear in chapter 6, File Formats, of the Data Integrator Designer Guide. This section describes how to use a Microsoft Excel workbook as a source with a Job Server on a UNIX platform. To create Microsoft Excel workbook file formats on Windows, see Excel workbook format in the Data Integrator Reference Guide. To access the workbook, you must create and configure an adapter instance in the Administrator. The following procedure provides an overview of the configuration process. For details about creating adapters, see Chapter 10, Adapters, in the Data Integrator Management Console: Administrator Guide. 1. To create a Microsoft Excel workbook file format on UNIX Using the Server Manager (($LINK_DIR/bin/svrcfg), ensure the UNIX Job Server can support adapters. See Configuring Job Servers and Access Servers in the Data Integrator Getting Started Guide. Ensure a repository associated with the Job Server has been added to the Administrator. To add a repository to the Administrator, see Adding repositories in the Data Integrator Management Console: Administrator Guide. In the Administrator, add an adapter to access Excel workbooks. See Adding and configuring adapter instances on in the Data Integrator Management Console: Administrator Guide. You can only configure one Excel adapter per Job Server. Use the following options:

2.

3.

On the Installed Adapters tab, select MSExcelAdapter. On the Adapter Configuration tab for the Adapter instance name, type BOExcelAdapter (required and case sensitive). You may leave all other options at their default values except when processing files larger than 1 MB. In that case, change the Additional Java Launcher Options value to -Xms64m -Xmx512 or Xms128m -Xmx1024m (the default is -Xms64m -Xmx256m). Note that Java memory management can prevent processing very large files (or many smaller files).

4. 5.

Start the adapter. In the Designer on the Formats tab of the object library, create the file format by importing the Excel workbook. For details, see Excel workbook format in the Data Integrator Reference Guide.

Notes

To import the workbook, it must be available on a Windows file system. You can later change the location of the actual file to use for processing in the format source editor. See Excel workbook source options in the Data Integrator Reference Guide . To reimport or view data in the Designer, the file must be available on Windows. Entries in the error log file might be represented numerically for the date and time fields. Additionally, Data Integrator writes the records with errors to the output (in Windows these records are ignored).

Data Integrator now supports a maximum number of loaders of 10. The following sections describe the option Number of Loaders.

Chapter 2, Data Integrator Objects, Section Target in Table 2-30 : Target table options available in all datastores Chapter 5, Transforms, section Data_Transfer in subsection Target table options

Replace the first paragraph in these descriptions of Number of Loaders with the following paragraph: Loading with one loader is known as single loader loading. Loading when the number of loaders is greater than one is known as parallel loading. The default number of loaders is 1. The maximum number of loaders is 10. If you specify a number greater than this maximum value, Data Integrator uses 10 loaders.

The following words have special meanings in Data Integrator and therefore should not be used as names for work flows, data flows, transforms, or other design elements that you create. They should also not be used as user names when you create a Data Integrator repository. They are reserved with any combination of upper- and lower-case letters.

No Number
In chapter 2, Objects, Descriptions of objects, the Excel workbook format entry, in the Notes section replace the fifth bulleted item with the following.

For workbook-specific (global) named ranges, Data Integrator would name a range called range as range. However for worksheet-specific (local) named ranges, Data Integrator would name a range called range that belongs to the worksheet Sheet1 as range!Sheet1. In UNIX, you must also include the worksheet name when defining a workbook-specific (global) named range.

Salesforce.com Adapter Interface Guide

When you create a new Custom table in Salesforce.com and attempt to fetch CDC data from that table from the Data Integrator Designer, if the CDC table does not specify a starting date, Data Integrator will throw an error stating:
Error reading from <custom table name>: <There was an unexpected error. Salesforce.com message is startDate before or replication enabled date>.

Therefore, the Using the CDC table source default start date section of the Salesforce.com Adapter Interface Guide should state the following: When you do not specify a value for the start date:

Data Integrator uses the beginning of the Salesforce.com retention period as the start date if a check-point is not available (during initial execution). Data Integrator uses the check-point as the start date if a check-point is available and occurs within the Salesforce.com retention period. If the check-point occurs before the retention period, Data Integrator uses the beginning of retention period as the start date. Data Integrator may throw an error message. Business Objects recommends that you specify a default start date for your CDC tables.

Please note the following correction to the Salesforce.com Adapter Interface Guide version 11.7.0.0. These changes will be incorporated into a future release of the manual set.

In Chapter 3, page 29, change the text under Using the CDC table source default start date as follows: When you do not specify a value for the start date:

Data Integrator uses the beginning of the Salesforce.com retention period as the start date if a check-point is not available (during initial execution). However, if a table is created within the Salesforce.com retention period and a check-point is not available, the execution will return an error message. Drill into the source object and enter a value for the CDC table source default start date. The value must be a date that occurs after the date the table was created to work around this problem.
