Accessing SAP BW from a Third party reporting Tool.

Hi,
We are trying to acess SAP BW using a third party tool for reporting purpose.
We need a url to access SAP BW (something like http://host:13080/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla
SAP BW should have fully functional Web services interface (XMLA Standard protocols)).
Presently our SAP BW has only ABAP Stack installed and no Java Stack.
To get a URL as mentioned above do we need a Java Stack to be installed?
I am not a SAP developer and hence need a confirmation on the above question.
Some documentation associated would also be usefull.
Thanks and regards

Thanks for the response
May be you are telling abt SAP GUI
the url for it is like
http://<fully_qualified_hostname>:<http_port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!
But I need to use that URL to connect to SAP BW which needs some XMLA protocol.
Any suggestions on same..
Thanks and regards

Thanks

BEx Web Application designer is only integrated to BIW server. So We can not access data of other tools unless the data is stored in the BIW server as the data in any data target.

Third party reporting tools

I am trying to use a third party reporting tools.
I have found one I like from Inetsoft.
The problem I am having is running the sample code they provide. I keep getting the error of method not found in my package.class file. They have provide sample.java files, I am not sure how to get jdev to see the method.
here is the .java code:
package smart_package;
import inetsoft.sree.*;
import inetsoft.report.*;
public class SimpleReplet extends BasicReplet
public ReportSheet createReport(RepletRequest req) {
StyleSheet report = new StyleSheet();
report.addText("This is a very simple Replet!");
return report;
here is the event code:
<event name="print_report" >
<method class="smart_package.SimpleReplet" method="createReport"/>
</event>
my question is why do I get this error:
Warning(43,73): report.uix: Parsing error, line 43, column 73: Could not find method createReport in smart_package.SimpleReplet
also if anyone has a suggest on a third party reporting tool let me know.
thanks

I think that I figured out my own problem. my problem was method not found in class.
here is the solution:
I need a method with a EventResult to start the process. and then that method would call the third party method.
package smart_package;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
import inetsoft.report.*;
import inetsoft.report.io.*;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.BajaContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.Page;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.event.EventResult;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.event.PageEvent;
public class PrintReport
public PrintReport()
// HERE IS THE KEY!!!
public static EventResult StartPrint(BajaContext context,
Page page,
PageEvent event)
createReport();
return null;
public static void createReport()
try
StyleSheet report = new StyleSheet();
report.addText("This is a simple report");
PreviewView previewer = Previewer.createPreviewer();
previewer.print(report);
previewer.pack();
previewer.setVisible(true);
previewer.setExitOnClose(true);
catch(Exception ignore) {}
my event on the uix page:
<event name="print_report" >
<ctrl:method class="smart_package.PrintReport" method="StartPrint" />
</event>

BW as a source of data for a third party reporting tool

Hello Gurus,
We have reports developed on a Java application where the data comes in from Cognos-Oracle database and the question is how to get the data from SAP BW instead.Is there a way we can pull in the data from SAP BW queries without using ABAP code or any coding as such or any simple way.
Please help me out with this and you will be well rewarded.

Third party reporting tools that can be used with WLI 8.1

All:
I am working on Weblogic Integration 8.1. I am wondering are there any ready tools that can be used with WebLogic Integration process related tables to get different types of reports out of it.
Can somebody point me to these tools??
TIA,
Prashanth Bhat.

Are you using ADE to read bought books, library books, or only free books?
If only free books, I suggest you install the superior free Calibre instead (http://calibre-ebook.com/)
For bought or library books you do need to install ADE on the new machine.
You will also need to register it with your Adobe ID; the same one you used on the last machine.
If you can't remember that ID or the password, ask, and we may be able to help.
I will give instructions for the latest version of ADE (2.0.1), even though I am afraid it has more problems than the old one it is more 'standard'.
Goto http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/digital-editions/download.html
Click on the 'Download Digital Edition 2.0.1 Windows (5.6 MB)' (you can go direct to http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_2.0_Installer.exe if you prefer)
When it has downloaded you must open/run it. If you are using Internet Explorer, choose the Run option when you start the download.
It should now go through a fairly standard install procedure, asking if it is ok to run the program, etc etc
Take the easy 'yes' or equivalent option at each step.
When it is safely installed, run it. It should have put an icon on the desktop.
You now need to authorize ADE.
Use ctrl-shift-U which will open up a dialog asking for your Adobe ID and password.
You should now be able to use it pretty much as you used ADE on your old machine.
Good luck. Unfortunately not a very easy process even when all works well, and there are several things that can go wrong.
Don't hesitate to ask again if you need help.

Do you have antiVirus installed on the sharepoint servers?
These folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use file-level antivirus software in SharePoint. If these folders are not excluded, you may see unexpected behavior. For example, you may receive "access denied" error messages when files
are uploaded.
Please follow this KB and exclude the folders from Scanning.

How can I call reports from a third party tool?

Hi!
I'm a Delphi 6 developer and our company has a customer that want to call reports created in Crystal Reports directly from our software.
What is the quickest way to open a report from a third party tool (passing parameters) ?
There is a way to do that without embedding Crystal VCL components in Delphi? I'm searching for a command line tool or a way to open it with URLs....
Thanks in advance!

Can I buy a phone from a third party and put my sim card in it?

My son has an Intensity 3 and I want to upgrade him to a smartphone but he's not upgrade eligible for another year. Can I buy a phone like a Galaxy S4 from a third party and put the sim card from the Intensity in it?

Yes. You can call Verizon and have them mail you a compatible SIM card or go to one of the stores to pick it up.
You will want to make sure the device you get has a clean ESN before you purchase it and has not been reported lost or stolen. If you have the device id CS can help you tell if it's clean. Or you can use the link below to check.

Access to my Office 365 third-party app for external user : "a User account is not registered for the account"

In my third-party web application of Office 365, I want to have access to the contacts, events and emails of all the users from the organizations who installed my app. The thing is I don't want that all these users have to grant me access, I just want one
admin of the org to grant access for my app and then be able to retrieve the data I need for all the users.
To test for one organization, I logged in as the admin and proceed to the Oauth2 authentication to retrieve the access token and in the first request (the GET one to retrieve an authorization code) i add the parameter
prompt=admin_consent.
With this access token, I can access the data (emails, contact, event) of the admin
for instance for the contacts
uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(adminemail)/Contacts
but not the data of the other users of this org with this uri
uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(useremail)/Contacts
The only thing I can do is retrieve an access token for each user but it supposed that each user has to authorize the access to the app but it's very cumbersome. So, i don't see what enables the parameter prompt=admin_consent and how to use it. Does anybody
know what it does?
And my question is: how can I do to access the data of all the users of one organization when the access has been granted by one admin?
Thank you!

You are sending the OAuth request to a tenant specific endpoint of Azure AD. Note the {key_provided} part of your Url - that part represents the tenantid or a registered domain name of an Azure AD tenant. Azure AD throws this error is the user signing in
is not a user in that tenant.
Multi-tenant applications like yours have two options:
Perform home realm discovery yourself and send the SSO request to the correct tenant-specific endpoint of Azure AD: when a new Azure AD organization signs-up for your application, record its tenant ID, and registered domain names. On your login page, ask
the user for their email and try to discover what Org they belong to using the suffix the email.
Use the common endpoint of Azure AD. Instead of the {key_provided} part of the URL, use 'common'. In this case Azure AD will determine the user's tenant and sign-in the user. The token that your application will receive will still be from the user's tenant
(iss claim).
2 is more convenient for apps. However #1 has an advantage when the user's Organization has customized their sign-in page with the company logo etc - in the case of #1 the user will directly be taken to the customized and familiar sign-in page.
I recommend a combination of the two: try determining the user's organization and sending them to the tenant specific SSO endpoint. If you're not able to - send them to the common endpoint.

Calling IPC from a third party web application

ISA, IPC experts,
We have CRM 4.0 with IPC 4.0. We are developing an in house web application in jsp/java for dealer orders. Our office staff uses CRM Online for Order Entry.
We want to use the existing pricing procedures in the IPC to derive the pricing for the web project so our user can see the price for a given product prior to placing the order in CRM.
How can we call IPC from a third party order software in java? prefereably without installing a standalone IPC (heard that IPC 5.0 may not support standalone mode)?
Can you help us with ways to call the IPC from our in house web application, or point us to some documentation about the ipc client layer?
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Yanhui Yu

Hi Yanjui,
if you have a CRM installation, an IPC is part of that installation. Connect your web application to that IPC. The IPC comes with its own web applications, which base on a package com.sap.spc.remote.client.object. These are APIs that you might consider using in your web application. The package should be documented with the API docs that come with your web apps, but I'm not sure about how this is delivered (sorry).
Concerning upgradability to CRM 5.0: The IPC there does not come as its own server anymore, but offers ABAP RFC functions that are actually implemented in Java using new Netweaver technology. The 5.0 RFCs are similar, but not identical to the old IPC commands / RFCs, so an upgrade is no problem, but some changes are required. The same applies for com.sap.spc.remote.client.object, which has changed a bit as a result of the changes in the IPC APIs below.
Alternatively to using com.sap.spc.remote.client.object, you might also try to directly call the RFC functions of the IPC server. Finding out what the various parameters that you have to pass do is not too tricky:
- in your IPC installation, a file <ipc>/lib/properties/servercommands.xml contains all RFCs that the IPC knows.
- for the RFC you want to use check the respective javaname in that file.
- for that javaname check class com.sap.spc.remote.server.command.<javaname> in the javadoc API Documentation that is part of your IPC installation. This will contain rather technical details on how to call the RFCs.
Please be aware that it's not an easy job providing all the data that IPC needs to do pricing.
I would recommend using the E-Commerce application which has done this job for you already.
Best regards,
Karlheinz

How do I sign an IPA coming from a third party developer with our Distribution Profile?

We have an app developed from a third party developer. We then received his IPA file.
Upon uploading the IPA using Application Loader, we are getting this error,
We tried sending our Mobile Developer and Distribution Provisioning Profiles to him, but he cannot build the IPA and told us he needs our Private Key (which we are not considering since we fear that he may be able to develop apps using our account).
We tried manually signing the IPA using terminal but we are getting this error:
What can we do?
