In SAP BODS, you can replicate each record 4 times using the following approach:

1. Use a Query transform: Add a Query transform in your data flow. This transform allows you to create custom SQL expressions to manipulate your data.

2. Use a UNION ALL statement: Within the Query transform, write a SQL expression that includes a UNION ALL statement to combine the original data with itself multiple times. For example, if your original table is named "source_table", the SQL expression might look like this:

    

   SELECT * FROM source_table UNION ALL SELECT * FROM source_table UNION ALL SELECT * FROM source_table UNION ALL SELECT * FROM source_table

   This SQL expression replicates each record from the "source_table" four times.

3. Map the output: Map the output of the Query transform to your target table or file.

4. Validate and execute the job: Validate the data flow to ensure that each record is replicated 4 times as expected. Then, execute the job to perform the data replication.

By following these steps and using the Query transform with a UNION ALL statement, you can replicate each record 4 times in SAP BODS.

Hi Latha,

The XML Parser Error in SAP BODS V4.2SP02 typically occurs when there is an issue with parsing XML data within the SAP BusinessObjects Data Services (BODS) environment.

This error can be caused by various issues such as incorrect XML syntax, invalid characters, or mismatches between the XML structure and the parsing logic.

To troubleshoot this error, you can start by checking the XML source data for any syntax errors or inconsistencies. Additionally, review the XML parsing logic and ensure that it is compatible with the structure of the XML data being processed.

If you have specific error messages or details about the XML Parser Error, providing more information would allow for a more targeted and accurate resolution.

Regards,

Akshay

Yes, it is possible to migrate BODs jobs into Informatica ETL tool. However, there are some differences between these two tools. For ex, in BODS, there is a concept called Template tables which will automatically useful to create source schema. But in Informatica, we need to manually create source schema every time12. Similarly, in BODS, there are SQL scripts which we can use to achieve business logic before or after a job is finished. In contrast, in Informatica, we need to manually export jobs.
