Connecting BO universes with SAP on a SQL server database

Hello,
The aim is to make a secured connection between a BusinessObjects universe and an SAP system that runs on a SQL server database.
We will have in the nearby future 1 SAP system for several customers (SAP in the clouds). For those customers we want to maintain their BusinessObjects connection with the SAP system as it is for the moment. This means that the customers who are working with their current BO system (5.1.6) connect for the moment between BusinessObjects and their local SAP system via the universe connection (Oracle driver and user). These customers should connect in the nearby future to a central SAP system and only be able to see the data of their own company (based on a client number). Iu2019m wondering if we could use the SAP-authorisation mechanism in order to do so. This would mean that we define an SAP user in SAP and that we define the same user in BusinessObjects and that there is a layer in between (cfr. The sap java connector) that allows a secure connection for a client to only its specific data (based on client number f.i.)
Can you tell me if there exists already a solution for this for BO 5.1.6 or what is the pre-requisite in order to do so. I know that the Best Practices of SAP-Bo use already this kind of mechanism but then we talk about BO XI 3.0 and ECC 6.0 linked via a Java Connector. Does there already exists something like that for the connection between an SAP system (on a SQL server database) and a BusinessObjects 5.1.6 system.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. And what about BO XI 3.0? What should we be using?
Ik have been using the SAP Java Connector but I'm wondering if there exists more user friendly (read easily adaptable) tools in order to provide a secure connection between SAP BO XI 3.0 and SAP ECC.
Many regards

Remote Connection from SAP to MS-SQL server

Hello Experts,
We have been following 2 options so far and we have come across some issues
The first Option is to call a stored procedure (this is our preferred method) which does the data transfer for us
We have been able to test this scenario successfully from SQL Server side
However, while calling the stored proc via native SQL from ABAP we have come across an issue which is due to SQL 2005 changes (Schema implementation and difference in the security context)
While calling the stored procedure from the ABAP Code we have an error
The program short dumps with runtime error DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR, exception CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR. The database error code is 15274, and the error text is
"Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted."
This issue is new after the SQL Server 2005.
We are trying to resolve that.
Secondly we have been trying the DBCON option as well as per OSS Note 323151
We have a few things thatu2019s impacting our scenario:
The remote servers are in a different domain
The remote servers are located in DIZ
Remote server is a named instance
Remote server has been configured with a different port than standard (1565) u2013 All Connection strings will need port in there
The Database name starts with a numeric value
Due a combination of factors as mentioned above the standard approach does not work
Have any of you used this approach while connecting from SAP to MS-SQL server? Do you know of any successful methods to connect to SQL using ABAP (or not) from SAP.
Thanks in advance,

Yes,
DBConnect & UDConnect.
Works like a charm.
We write data into a MS-SQL database via DBConnect & an ABAP program (using open sql).

SAP ECC6.0 cannot connect to SQL Server Database after recreating DB server

We had a disaster with our ECC 6.0 Development system a few days ago. The system is called “DEV”. The SQL Server database server got wiped out and we didn’t have a backup. Luckily, we did have a backup of the database. Our system engineers rebuilt the server and our DBA reinstalled SQL Server and restored the database. The database came up fine, but when we try to start SAP, it fails. “R3trans –d” also fails. The database is SQL Server 2008R2 10.50.2769. The OS is Windows Server 2008R2.
We verified that the “devadm” and “SAPServiceDEV” accounts have permissions on the on the server. We set the following Environment Variables for the devadm account on the database server:
DBMS_TYPE = mss
MSSQL_DBNAME = DEV
MSSQL_SCHEMA = dev
MSSQL_SERVER = <database server name>
SAPLOCALHOST = <database server name>
SAPSYSTEMNAME = DEV
We also set the following Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/SAP/DEV
Type:     REG_SZ
Value:   AdmUser
String:   <database server name>\devadm
We didn’t install any kind of SAP software on the database server.
Is there any kind of SAP components we need to install on the database server? Do we need to run the SAP installer on the database server to get everything setup correctly? I looked at another one of our SQL Server database servers and it has SAP Management Console installed and there is a C:\Program Files\SAP\hostcntl folder. I don't know what that is or it has anything to do with SAP being able to connect to the database.
Here is the error message in the R3trans log file:

Sql developer won't connect with SQL server database on cluster

Hello,
I have a microsoft SQL server database on a windows cluster. Name for this cluster is like XXX/YYY
When I try to connect to this database with SQL developer, I get a failure, mentioning:
"Status : Failure -Cannot connect to Miscrosoft SQL Server on XXX/YYY"
As far as I know, I have installed the correct jtds driver (version 1.2.5), since I can connect to sql server databases on single server hosts.
Does anyone know how to connect to databases on windows clusters?

Connect a Microsoft SQL Server Database with eclipse

Hi all,
I am having problem to connect a Microsoft SQL Server Database with eclipse. Is it possible to do it? And could someone explain me how, please? When I want to create a connection from the data source explorer, I have in the list of connection only derby and jdbc. Is anything else that I have to download?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Just choose generic JDBC and locate/specify the driver yourself. Exactly the same as you would use when you wrote JDBC code yourself.

Connection with MS -SQL server Database

Hi Experts,
We are new with Oracle SES.
We have created one table in MS SQL server 2005 in testing database called as Northwind, table is EMPdate with adding required column name as "URL","KEY","CONTENT","LASTMODIFIEDDATE","LANG".
Now we create database source in Oracle SES by giving following things
Database Connecting String: jdbc:sqlserver//<Loaclhost>:1433;databasename=Northwind
UserId:
Password:
Query: Select URL,KEY,CONTENT,LASTMODIFIEDDATE,LANG,'text/html' CONTENTTYPE from EMPdate
path separator: #
Document Count : -1
Parse Attributes :false
And create Source & when we run schedule on this datadase source we got error that "invalid SQL command"
Please can you provide sequence of steps to create MS SQL Server database source & generate the statistics.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Running the Schedule for Stats collection -- I mean,the Schedule step whcih could be the immediate step just after database source creation
The Crawl of the SQL Server not succeeded is Crawl Error
which is located in C:\oracle\product\10.1.8\oradata\ses2\log direcory.
We succeded with Web,ORACLE TABLE and FILE system sources as they were documented in the manual.
Please Suggest all the steps to configure SQL server as Source
Thanks in Advanace
Cheers,

Issue with connecting to SQL Server Database in 11g

Hi
We successfully created odbc connection say "Test" to read SQL Server database using odbc admin.The issue we are facing in 11g is, we are unable to import tables using the database connection "Test" in to Admin tool.
In 10g we did not come across this issue. We used the same credentials and process incase of 10g and 11g to read SQL Server database, but we are facing the connection issues incase of 11g.
Please, let us know is there any change need to be done to any config files or is there any way to overcome this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
What do you mean by 'we are unable to import tables using the database connection'
Do you get an error message or the connection fails or what
Please add the details about the issue in order to help

DB Connect from BW on Oracle to MS SQL Server 2005

Hello,
I am having issues replicating Meta-Data from SQL server databases via DBCONNECT to SAP BW.
For instance we have the CCM DB and the Siebel DB. We can transfer meta-data from CCM with no problem (SQL Server 2000) but we cannot transfer meta-data from Siebel (SQL Server2005).
Our SAP BW is system is on an Oracle database.
CCM is on OS Win 2003. SQL 2000 SP4.
Siebel is on Win 2003 Server Enterprise 5.2 and SQL Server 2005 SP2.
I already have the dbsl for SQL server installed in the BW system. When I do a Connection Check of the source systems in RSA1, it says "Source system connection OK".
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi,
I don't think the 32 vs. 64 bit is the issue. Have you tried checking OSS note: 512739. It describes the prerequisites for accessing MS SQLServer via DB Connect. Normally problems occurs due to unsupported data types being used in SQLServer - in such cases you have to create views in the source system and then use these views instead of the actual database tables. In the view you can perform the necessary data type conversion.

Best practise for creating an application that connects to a SQL Server database

I have created an application that connects to a SQL Server database and views information using a datagrid and performs several updates when a button
is selected.
I have created a SQLcontrol.vb using the following code:
Imports System.Data.Sql
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class SQlControl
'connection 1
    Public SQLCon As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
= "Data Source=;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}
'connection 2
    Public SQLCon1 As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
= "Data Source;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}
    Public sqlcmd As SqlCommand
    Public sqlda As SqlDataAdapter
    Public sqldataset As DataSet
    Public Function hasconnection() As Boolean
        Try
            SQLCon.open()
            SQLCon.close()
            Return True
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
            Return False
        End Try
    End Function
    Public Sub runquery(query As String)
        Try
            SQLCon.Open()
            sqlcmd = New SqlCommand(query,
SQLCon)
            'LOAD
SQL RECORDS FOR DATAGROD
            sqlda = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlcmd)
            sqldataset = New DataSet
            sqlda.Fill(sqldataset)
BH READ DIRECTLY FROM THE DATABASE
            'Dim
R As SqlDataReader = sqlcmd.ExecuteReader
            'While
R.Read
            'MsgBox(R.GetName(0)
& ": " & R(0))
            'End
While
            SQLCon.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
            'will
close connection if still open
            If SQLCon.State
= ConnectionState.Open Then
                SQLCon.Close()
            End If
        End Try
    End Sub
    Public Sub runquery1(query As String)
        Try
            SQLCon1.Open()
            sqlcmd = New SqlCommand(query,
SQLCon1)
            'LOAD
SQL RECORDS FOR DATAGROD
            sqlda = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlcmd)
            sqldataset = New DataSet
            sqlda.Fill(sqldataset)
BH READ DIRECTLY FROM THE DATABASE
            'Dim
R As SqlDataReader = sqlcmd.ExecuteReader
            'While
R.Read
            'MsgBox(R.GetName(0)

            'End
While
            SQLCon1.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
            'will

            If SQLCon1.State

                SQLCon1.Close()
            End If
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class
A code for one of my button which views displays data grid contains the following code:
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(sender As Object,
e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If SQL.hasconnection
= True Then
            SQL.runquery("select
* from tablea")
            If SQL.sqldataset.Tables.Count
> 0 Then
                DGVData.DataSource = SQL.sqldataset.Tables(0)
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
I am fairly new to vb.net and have read a few books and followed a few tutorials on youtube, what I would like to know is, are there any disadvantages
to the way I have connected to a SQL database using the SQLControl.vb. A lot of the vb books include data adapter and dataset within the form, I'm not sure if I'm following best practice by have the connection details outside of the form.
My other question is, I have created two connections in the SQLControl and call these connections within the same form using the same data adapter
and dataset. It all works fine but I just wanted to know of any potential issues?
Public SQLCon As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
= "Data Source=;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}
'connection 2
    Public SQLCon1 As New SqlConnection With {.ConnectionString
= "Data Source;Initial Catalog=;Integrated Security=True"}
Thanks

My other question is, I have created two connections in the SQLControl and call these connections within the same form using the same data adapter and dataset. It all works fine but
I just wanted to know of any potential issues
1) You are not using Sepration of concerns for a solution that is doing data access, like using a DAL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns
2) You are directly issuing SQL commands at the UI, leading to sql injection attacks.
3) You are not using a UI design pattern, which leads you to tightly couple database activity to the UI.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/228214/Understanding-Basics-of-UI-Design-Pattern-MVC-MVP
@System243trd, parameters are important to prevent SQL injection attacks (people will insert SQL commands into the database if you do not perform basic checking of what you are passing to the database). If you write a stored procedure try to make
the variables the correct SQL server data type to avoid problems later of people trying to call it directly.  Darnold924 is right, I see no code to prevent against SQL injection attacks. In addition, during development in some instances LocalSQLDB
database system is used and during deployment you usually need to use the production SQL server database. Moreover, Linq-to-SQL is used on Windows Phone 8.1 and it is required for phone development later and so I highly recommend learning
it if you plan on developing windows phone applications.
@System243trd, If you want the code for the windows phone app I think it uses the MVVM model or that might be for universal apps or regular windows phone apps. I have been using the windows phone Silverlight pivot or panorama template (it might
be pieces of both). I've already submitted to the windows phone marketplace and it had to go through certification first. I plan on later making an article on it but I need to first fix one or two simple problems I have with it. Here's a link to
the source code if you later want to look at the source code (in vb.net):

JRC bug: apostrophe in string parameter passed to Crystal Report with Command datasource to SQL Server

Post Author: nl11087
CA Forum: JAVA
A single quote/apostrophe in string parameter passed to a Crystal Report with Command datasource connecting to a SQL Server database, using sqljdbc driver does not escape the special character correctly. When doing a preview in the Crystal Reports IDE it allows you to escape the input parameter as expected and work correctly, but through the JRC component it fails. For string parameters without special sql server characters I experience no problems at all. When replacing the Command with a direct table there is also no problem.
Reproduction:
1. create a database db1, create a table table1 with a String type column col1.
2. Create new report Report1.rpt, create a connection to above, Add Command using 'SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE col1 = '{?Par1}' . Add a parameter field Par1 : String
3. In your java stand alone application using JRC add the parameter Par1 with a value "Jon Doe's Value" containing a single apostrophe. Export to PDF. (I also tried MSWord and this failed too, similar behavior). Additionally, in another test try to replaceAll("'","''") to escape it, preventing the code to break, but now it does not retrieve the expected row anymore and you end up with an empty report.

How to connect a PDF form to SQL server database through web service?

Hi,
I'm new to LiveCycle designer. I have designed a PDF form in LC designer ES2, which suppose to take a personnel number and retrieve the personnel information from a SQL server database. Currently its working fine with XML data and a search button, but I need to securly connect to a database through web service. I know how to connect to a wsdl file through designer. What I need is a wsdl file to connect the form to database. For this purpose, is there any WSDL code to use as the web service?
I really appreciate your help and advice.
