ACCENTURE: (Bangalore)

1. Can u explain ur roles and responsibilities in ur current project?

2. What are the transforms u used?
3. What is ur system landscape?
Ans: SAP ECC, CSV Files are the SOURCES and MS SQL SERVER DB is TARGET System.
4. How can we do the lookups for flat files?
Ans: In Lookup Table  Lookin we will get list as DataStore, FileFormats, Current Schemas
5. How can we use ‘LIKE’ in LOOKU_EXT?
Ans: Using Option Called ‘CUSTOM SQL’ in LOOKUP_EXT
6. Requirement:

Input:
Station, transformertype
Marthahalli, t1,t2
Belandur, t1,t2,t3
Xyz, t1,t2,t3,t4

Output:
Station, transformertype
Marthahalli, t1
Marthahalli, t2
Belandur, t1
..
Belandur, t3
Xyz, t1
..
Xyz, t4
How can we do this in BODS?
7. How does u connect to SAP ECC and explain flow?
8. Options available in TABLE COMPARISION?
9. What will happen if we don’t give primary key column in ‘input primary key column’?
Ans: Throws an Error:
Transform <Table Comparison> requires option <primary_key_column> to be set.
10. If I don’t give any columns in comparison column option, Can Table Comparison functionality
works fine?
Ans: It will load Duplicate records to the target table if u do not give columns in the ‘Compare
Column’ Box.
11. Generally, how we can implement the project as a developer? I mean from preparing technical
speech to deploying project into production environment.
12. How we can execute our job in BW side using INFOPACKAGE?
13. What is the usage of validation transform? In which scenario u used this transform?
14. What is the difference between CASE Transform and Validation Transform?
15. Explain the flow of SCD Type2? What are the transforms u used in SCDT Type2?
16. Is there any way to get delta records without using History Preserving, Keygeneration Transform?
17. How can we make the Primary keys in the target table if we don’t have any input primary keys?
 Ans: Using Input Keys in target table options and using this option we can able to update the
values in the target table which doesn’t contain any primary keys.

CSC: (24 min) (Bangalore)

1. Give me brief idea about ur Experience and Education Back ground
2. If source is any data base, assume that there is a lot of time consuming to extract the data
from data base source. So in this case how can you identify where it is taking time and
how u can fix that?
3. How can we identify whether the partical columns from the source is loading to target
table.
