Find the underlying datasource

Question

Hi,
We have installed the SAP Netweaver2004s environemant with
a)Web AS Java
b)Web AS Java +  ABAP
Is there anu API or UME API or any programmatic approch form where we can know if the underlying datasource is of what type.
I require this as based on the server configuration my code flow will change.
How this can be done.
Best Regards
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Use the UME API, here is a sample code that checks to which datasource a group belongs to, amend it to your needs:
IGroup group = groupFact.getGroup(<group_id>);
String[] datasources = group.getAttribute(IPrincipal.DEFAULT_NAMESPACE, IPrincipal.DATASOURCE);
if (datasources[0].equals("PRIVATE_DATASOURCE"))
    // This is a UME Group
else if (datasources[0].equals("R3_DATASOURCE"))
   // This is an ABAP Group
This code provides you with the data source id. To find out which data source id belongs to UME and which to ABAP user store have a look into your UME configuration file. Find more information on data sources in <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/e7/8f0440a832e369e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">here</a>.
Hope it helps,
