query issue

Jim Wang — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 13:20:54 GMT

In my DTS, it has many similar statements: SQLQUERY(TRIM(S2), "S", "select telephone1 from demo_mscrm.dbo.account where accountnumber='%s'" ) //copy telephon1 to Target telephone1 field SQLQUERY(TRIM(S2), "S", "select telephone2 from demo_mscrm.dbo.account where accountnumber='%s'" ) //copy telephon2 to Target telephone2 field So, in this case, the Scribe will run many time queries for one row!!! Is it possible to query once, return telephone1, telephone2 ... , and then copy these variables into Target fields?

SQL script to execute after the job is run

Glenn Sharrock — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 16:44:11 GMT

Hi, I am having problems getting an sql script to execute after a job is run. The sql script does what i want it to do in query analyser but when i add the script to scribe through run / edit settings / scripts and then run the job, the job works but the script doesn't appear to be executed and no error message is displayed. In the SQL script i am updating on one server and using a where clause for another server. This shouldn't stop it from working though? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Payables with Analytics

Anybody created an integration for Great Plains Payables with Analytical Accounting? The vouchers come in fine but Analytics wouldn't want to. Any insights would be helpful.

Problem running a script before the translation is executed

Rajaram — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 06:58:57 GMT

I want to delete all the rows in the stage table before doing the import for the next time. Does anyone know how to do this?

Is the value is S2 field a constant? If it changes for every row then you ll have to query for each row.

Having problems running a Timed Integration Process

dexter domingo — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 15:39:55 GMT

Hi All. I am having an issue about running a timed integration process. My integration process connects to an AS400 and as such i am using an iSeries Access ODBC Driver. I dont have problems executing my DTS package using the workbench - but I am having issues running my DTS using the scheduler through Scribe Console. My DTS is saved in the default collaboration folder and my integration is set to lookup through that folder. The creator is of course by default the login id i am using which is an admin account. there are no special type of settings that i am using under Process Type but the defaults. The error I am having is Message Processor error: Error opening data source {dataSourceName} My question is why the disconnect? I can run the very same DTS through the workbench but not through the console. anybody has seen a similar issue before? Thanks guys.

How to see what is queued up to be processed

Answer Please — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 04:31:43 GMT

Hi, I had stopped all scribe services about a month back. I would like to start them now as we would like to turn on the integration between our systems now. I want to make sure that there is nothing in the queue to be processed by Scribe. I do not want a situation where I turn the services on and the test changes that we have been doing in one system come over to the other system. How can I check what is sitting to be processed by Scribe? Thank you.

Ryan Bender — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 17:30:40 GMT

I also have this error ...what was the solution? Re-installing didn't help, and restore the SCRIBEINTERNAL database from a previous backup didn't help either. I saw a previous post where someone repaired SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility for a different issue. We are having problems performing the repair, so I'm not sure if that fix will work. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

GP Transaction and Distribution Problem

Brian Baseggio — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 19:52:16 GMT

I'm trying to run a set of DTS's developed by a client of ours. It's developed to take transaction from CRM and insert them into GP. When I run one of them in test mode, it works and I don't get any errors. However, when I run it for real, I get the following error: [42000] SQL call failed. Could not find stored procedure 'DYNAMICS..tasmGetNextNoteIndex... String data, right truncation Does any one have any insight on this one? My guess is that sproc is used to generate a key associated with a note for the Transaction or Distribution. However, I don't see any sprocs that begin with tasm in any of the GP databases. Any help would be appreciated.

Scribe Support Sybase ASA 10??

alex fagundes — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:50:58 GMT

Does scribe support Sybase ASA 9 or 10 ?? I've never had an issue using SYbase ODBC drivers with any application, except Scribe. It will simply not connect even though the ODBC logs show a sucessfull connection. Has anyone used Scribe with Sybase ??

Lee Bright — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 14:03:59 GMT

I am also having a problem where the TEST button is not available because the target configure has a lookup links (missing) . I am taking the Workbench Training (part 1 of 2) and have completed training up to Exercise 4 which says to use the TEST window which is not available. How do I fix the lookup links (missing) problem for the traget configure ? I can't continue with the training until this is resolved. Se the attached Word document for more detailed information. Thanks Lee

GP Adapter does not include Contracts

Christie Peterson — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:30:19 GMT

I would like to create contracts from an external source via Scribe. I can see the table (is not included in Adapter) and when I select it as an insert step, I get the message "The selected data object is not updateable; the step cannot be added". What is the work around for this or am I overlooking something? Thanks for the help.

Scribe fails with 'Timed out' while Creating a record in CRM.

Maxime Gariepy-Bordeleau — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 14:41:15 GMT

Hi, I am experiencing a problem in my Prod environment. I understand exactly what is happening (I think)... Our DTS sometimes fail creating a CRM object due to a timed out operation. We are using a Highly customized CRM 3.0 System and I know that we have Pre/Post Create callouts which are doing a lot of processing upon customized entity record creation. Since those records (let's call them 'events') are usually created from Scribe (in batches), we don't really care about the time it takes creating them. We had to create them from custom C# code (using CRM web services) for excpetion handling and we were having the same problem with the default Web Service Client timeout value (which is 100 seconds),,, the CrmService.Create was throwing an exception due to timed out operation... Now, since the problem is in Prod env, this was easily worked around by raising the timeout delay in our C# code. HOWEVER, to return to Scribe issue, is it possible to configure such value when using MSCRMAdapter30 !?! The online help explicitly state that this adapter is using CRM web services... and I fear they are using the same default value... so once again, is it possible...

Salesforce.com Adapter and NULL

Rob James Moulton — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 19:48:15 GMT

This feels like a silly question, but I can't find the way to do this. I'm using the Salesforce.com adapter for both source and target, and want to locate contacts that have an empty phone number, where the account has a phone number. I have a Test account in SFDC that matches this scenario, but when I create a filter with Contact.Phone is-null and Account.Phone is-not-null I get no results. I've tried = "", and <0, and a few others. Even if I use one filter, where Contact.Phone is-null or Contact.Phone = "" I still don't get the Test contact I created with no phone number in my query results. What operator/value do I use to get this to work? Thanks. Rob

Calculate Net Cost from child entities

Marc Winder — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 19:58:59 GMT

We're using CRM3.0 and the MSCRM Adapter and I need to grab the cost of each line item (or child entity), add them together and update the Net Cost attribute in the parent entity with the total. Unfortunately in this situation my source is a delimited text file. I can't find anything in help that even suggest that this can be done. We have a similar process that runs as a stored procedure in our legacy system but the CRM Adapter prevents me from any direct database access include using a post script.. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

ACT Premium 2006 to MS CRM 3.x

Edward — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:36:18 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to do the simplest of migrations, from the example database included with ACT Premium 2006 to Microsoft CRM using the template ACT! 2005-2006 to MSCRM 3.x (/forums/community/dispatch.cgi... found in the download area, and I'm finding that only about 13 of the 131 records get migrated. The error given is, "Update or insert failed because it contains a derived or constant field. Statement could not be prepared." Is this something simple or common to resolve?

Delete from target if not found in Source

Joseph — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:51:15 GMT

Hi all, I am kind of new to Scribe. What I want to do is to delete from target DB all entries that are not found in source DB. How can I do that? I tried many things and those didn't turn out well. Please help if you know the answer. Thanks in advance.

Joseph — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:54:49 GMT

From what I know, you have to define a name in Excel in order to view it in Scribe. So open up the excel that you want to set as the source and highlight all the cells that you want to show up on Scribe. Then go to Insert --> Name --> Define in the menu bar. Give a name and click add. Save the excel and retry adding the excel to Scribe as source. I think it should work now.

Use sp as target?

Chach C Fallgatter — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 18:27:00 GMT

I would like to use a stored procedure that exists in my target database as the target object. I would like to execute this sp once for each source row, passing parameters from the source. Are there special circumstances under which this is possible? I do not see the stored procedures exposed in the Target Configure window. The tables and views are there, but the sp's don't appear. I am connecting as sa so I don't believe there are any permission issues. I've tried connection both with the SQL Native Database option, and also using an odbc for SQL Server connection with the same results.

Joseph — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 19:44:22 GMT

I kind of found a workaround on my own. I don't know if it is the best solution, but here it goes. Write a sql script which will delete everything from the DB. Then go to Run --> Edit Settings --> Scripts tab . On the Target field for "execute BEFORE" select the sql script that just wrote. Click OK. Then just do a regular insert. This way both will be synch. Of course, my DB is rather small so it would work well for me. I don't if you want to do that if you have fairly large DB. If someone else something better pls share. Thanks.
