DB Connect for SQL on Unix Platform for BI 7.0

Hi All,
       My requirement is to extarct the data from MS SQL to BI on HP-UNIX server with Oracle data base. I have seen in lots of posts that we need have atleast one  Windows App.server to install DBSL and DB client on BI. But I have checked the BI System configurations in some fo the my previous clients, they have exact same config. as mine. They are using DB Connect without any issues. My basis team says that its not possible. Would anyone please update me on that. I have checked the system config. in system menu-->status. BI sytem config. of mine are:
OS: HP-UX,
DB: Oracle,
Release: 10.2.0.2.0
BI 2004s,
Patch 14,
External DB: MS SQL.
  I apprecaite your answers with points, thanks in advance.
Regards
Baba

Hi,
but what more than the help from SAP (<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/58/54f9c1562d104c9465dabd816f3f24/frameset.htm">Transferring Data Using DB Connect</a>) do your basis group need?
Just ask them install the DBSL on the application server, of course in developpment....
the "DBSL installation" is nothing else than "uncaring" a file to a specific folder...
In my case, I didn't even had to restart the SAP instance, it worked properly as soon as the file was in the folder.
Of course you need to stop and restart the SAP instance to ensure everything is working fine...
hope this helps...
Olivier.

  • How to access the datasource window in SSRS for sql server 2008 R2 for writing my query without having to go through the wizard?

    I have used SSRS a lot years ago with Sql Server 2000 and Sql Server 2005. I have written external assemblies, ... But now I have to do this with Sql Server 2008 (R2 -- which I realize I am way behind the times already but ...)  in sql server 2000 and
    2005 there was a tab for datasource to the left of the tab for design which was to the left of the preview tab. How do I get to the datasource window in sql server 2008 (r2) ?
    I see that datasource explorer.  But where can I get to the datasource window to edit my queries and so forth for sql server 2008 (R2)?
    Thanks
    Rich P

    I think I found the answer to my question --- just right-click on the the Data Sources or Datasets for editing connections and dataset queries.  I'm guessing it gets even fancier with Sql Svr 2012 - 2014.    Man, that's the one thing
    about coding platforms -- you let it go for a few years and come back, and everything has changed (well, a lot of things).  Now I need to figure out how to add an external assembly to SSRS 2008 (R2).

  • No size history for SQL Database in dbacockpit for new system

    Hello,
    we have installed a new ERP 6.0 System on Windows with SQL Server 2005 (3 month ago)
    Now we haven´t any data in datbase size historie in the dbacockpit.
    The message is: No size history.  Check the DB Collector status.
    We checked already the state of Collector. It is running every 20 minutes and collect data for performance. But not for the growth of the database.
    We also deleted the job at the SQL Agent and planned it new with the report MSSPROCS.
    Does anyone have an idea whats the problem?
    Best regards
    Petra Wöritz

    Hello all together,
    we are facing the same problem until now.
    I checked all the points you suggested:
    - the performance collector job runs in client 000
    - time zone is set to CET
    - the SAPOSCOL is running
    - no errors by executing the SQL statement EXECUTE sap_dbcoll
    - no errors in SQL Job SAP_sid_SID_MSSQL_COLLECTOR
    We don't have any data in size history.
    But we found a error message in dev_w0:
    C  dbdsmss: DBSL26 SQL3621C  Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#perfinfo_________0C5BC11B'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#perfinfo'.The statement has been terminated
    It occurs, when we try get the data of history in db02 (or dbacockpit).
    The note 1171828 doen't fit.
    We have already SAP_BASIS     701     0007
    We've got a system with SAP_BASIS     702     0006
    There the error is displayed in dbacockpit directly:
    SQL-Fehler 2627: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Violatio n of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#perfinfo________ _5A303401'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object
    Any ideas?

  • Preferred Unix Platform for DB server

    Currently we are using HP Compaq Tru64 as the OS for all our DB servers,
    as you are aware, this OS will be desupported in the future. Hence, we need to pick a new OS.
    I am aware of Oracle has their preference in delivering DB server software and patches in different OS with a certain order.
    Would you be able to provide me information on the preference ? Your answer will be an input of the process of selecting a new OS ?

    Hello,
    I can give you only my personal opinion. It seems, the preferred platform (from Oracle's point of view) is now Linux, although there's no official statement by Oracle (and no representative will give you a definite answer).

    col total_maxspace_mb heading 'MB|Max Size' format 9G999G999

    The above works fine, but I would like to further change the query so that only those tablespaces with free space less than 5% (or used space more than 95%) are returned.
    I have been working on this all morning and wanted to open it up to the masters!

  • How Crystal Report XI connect o sql server 2005

    hi
    i am tring to create a report connecting to sql server 2005, however, i could not find a proper provider to connect sql server 2005, and i found Microsoft OLE DB provider for sql is only suited for sql server 2000 and earlier version, and i dont want to use ODBC connecting, so my question if there is other way to connect sql 2005 in the Crystal report XI?

    Hi
    Due to timing of product release dates, Crystal Reports XI was not tested with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The changes made to connectivity drivers for MS SQL Server 2005 are significant and have been addressed in Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
    As per Supported platforms document of CR XI only the below SQL servers are supported:
    Microsoft SQLServer 2000 SP3 with
    - ODBC MDAC 2.8
    -JDBC SQLServer 2000
    - OLEDB MDAC 2.8
    Microsoft SQLServer 7.0 SP4 with
    -ODBC MDAC 2.7
    -OLEDB MDAC 2.7
    However MS SQL Server 2005 is mentioned as supported in CRXIR2 as below:
    MS SQL Server 2005 with
    - Microsoft ODBC MDAC 2.8
    -Microsoft ODBC SNAC (Native Client)
    -Microsoft OLEDB MDAC 2.8
    -Microsoft OLEDB SNAC (Native Client)
    Contact your sales representative to obtain a copy of Crystal Reports XI Release 2. A minor product update is required for CR XI Release 2 to enable reporting off MS SQL Server 2005.
    For more information regarding changes in CRXI and CRXIR2 please refer to the documentations in the link provided by Amit.
    Hope this helps!!

  • How to find cd rom drive in windows and unix platform using java program

    Hi,
    I am having the requirement of finding the cd rom drive
    using java program. I do not know the label and which
    one is the cd rom drive. also I want to know how many
    cd rom drives are there on my system. I want the solution
    for windows and unix platforms.
    If have any suggestions please mail to [email protected]
    Deepak

    Ughhh.. I had the same problem with multi platform file-system detection
    First off - Unix.
    Do you know for sure you have all your drives mounted?? This could be a big problem because java will not see unmounted drives... So you can scour thru your /etc/fstab to find out which drives are available... or you can mount all and show roots... (Yuck!)... You've got timeouts and all sorts of things to worry about...
    I would then shy away from the java.io.File.listRoots() on unix and rely on parsing your fs file. If a user would like to see the medium in the drive. Do a Runtime.exec and mount the drive, then you can grab the filesystem by wrapping it in the java.io.File object. ( NOTE - this will hold well for your NFS mounts as well which might be buried under other FS. So you now have detection for that as well. ) Labels are also noted in this file. Let me know if you don't know the difference between mtab and fstab....
    Second - Winders.... Corney but I love saying that.
    The listRoots is a good solution. As others have said CD-ROMS will not be writable. Use a combination of getName and getPath to decipher the label and mount point.
    Hope this helps!

  • Is "No Single Folio for iphone" a missed opportunity for designers and Adobe?

    We have a client that is interested in a single folio app, and others in our agency that would love to sell clients on publishing their free material to both the ipad and the iphone, but the cost of the downloads is too great a hurdle. I have contacted adobe for custom pricing (please contact a rep if you have questions regarding prices) and the cost is still monumental for publishing to this platform for free applications. If an app from DPS where to become popular it could easily cost as much as doing a native app.
    Does anyone else think there needs to be an additional pricing tier for things like free catalogs where we are not able to charge for the app? I love the tool-set and would love to be in the middle of this new push for the tablet but my current project is headed back to the interactive group.

    Hey Bob, I enjoy your replies, very helpful.
    I guess business ethics should be enough to prevent a company from switching, to a paid version later. The threat of a fine, lawsuite, takedown, or really now days - being called out for cheating another company publicly may be enough of a deterrent. And if that's not enough, I would think there would be a technical mechanisium to either track or prevent that switch.
    If they charged the same price as they do now for Pro but with a quarter of the Folios (250), and then there were some higher more exspensive teirs I would think they could make the money on the front end rather than the back end. Clients cant budget for an unknown like downloads but they can budget upfront costs.
    The point is, if the solution is more afforadable will it be used more? My clients can't justify the unknown costs, therefore I wont be paying Adobe for their Pro service. Doing some searching of the web brings up similar compiants. This is simply my feedback to try to change the system.
    Thanks.
