Are the Oracle Transparent Gateways SAP approved

Gentlemen: Thanks in advance for your reply. I am new on this gateway world and I am trying to find the best solution for us.
Situation ... DB Migration of SAP 4.5B from MSSQL to Oracle8 in Sun Solaris (No problem with this).
We run a VB application that connects to SAP using SAPComm to read from SAP and update, asl well.
Problem: We will do the migration but the developer of the application in VB may not be open to change their coding, and we found the option of replicating db tables from Oracle to MSSQL, once we migrate, with the Oracle Gateway, which produce something transparent to the VB application.
Questions:
1. Does SAP approve this kind of accesses/replications to their DBs without us affecting our license agreement with them? I should ask this question to SAP, but if you know already, that will defenitely help?
2. I understand this tool (Oracle Transparent Gateway) is available as of Oracle9i. Our migrated SAP system will be running on Oracle8, but it is my understanding it does not matter the version of Oracle we are running our db, because what we procure is the Oracle9i to be installed separately to interact with both SAP (Oracle8) and MSSQL. Is that right? Could I build that scenario? If yes, how much is for the Oracle9i license. Should acquire it through SAP (I guess not)?
Thanks,
Juan-Carlos

You can use Oracle Streams to replicate from Oracle to SQL Server. This is a feature of Oracle 9.2.
This feature uses the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL Server to communicate between Oracle and SQL Server.
This is licensed separately from the database. Oracle 8 can communicate with Oracle 9i using DB links.
You can purchase a license for the each of these products at http://oraclestore.oracle.com/

Query over Oracle Transparent Gateway on DB2 hangs the session

I am on Database release 10gR2 using the Oracle Transparent Gateway (v9) installed on a DB2 i*series machine.
The Oracle database is located in the same data center as the DB2 database. When I issue very simple queries such as select count(*) from t, I get a result immediately. However when I issue something like select * from t, I very rarely get any rows back (I will sometimes 39 out of 4000) and the session appears to hang. Our DB2 administrators report that everything looks ok on their end. It's like the query is executed in DB2 but the gateway has trouble replying to the Oracle DB
As a side note, the hung session prevents the database from shutting down but does not prevent the database from closing some processes while trying to shutdown (e.g. J000, MXXX, etc.). This results in an open database with missing processes (non critical).
I think this is a network/firewall issue, has anyone had any similar experiences with the gateway? How can I diagnose the problem?
I should note, other Oracle databases in different locations (and different versions) do not have a problem when running the same queries.

If I remember correctly the V9 TG4DB2/400 was not certified with Oracle database 10gR2; only 10.1. See also Metalink certify page which states:
Operating System: IBM AS/400 Version V5R1 - V5R3
Oracle Transparent Gateway for DB2/400 Version 9.2.0
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition V10 Version 10g
Status: Desupported
Side Note: the certify version states 10g; this means 10gR1; not 10gR2.
You can crosscheck it while checking out the V10.1/2 gateway certification which explicite lists 10gR2.
So it would be interesting if any 10gR2 database can successfully query the table.

Oracle Transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server

Hello,
I successfully installed the Oracle transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server for Oracle 8i. Now I am doing the same for Oracle 9i.
Does anyone know how to 'create a new gateway service' on 9i???
This is how you would do that on 8i on the Windows box...
1) At the MS-DOS prompt, enter:
> set GTW_EXE=TG4MSQL.EXE
2) To create a new gateway service name, enter:
> GTWSRV73 sid -CREATE | MORE
-where sid is the gateway sid.
Does anyone know how to do those steps for 9i Oracle Transparent Gateway?
Thank you.

Oracle transparent gateway sql server ORA.28511

Hello,
I tried to install the gateway for ms sql server and failed, can anyone help me?
the 1. computer - database server is a hpux with oracle 8.1.7
the 2. computer - gateway computer is a win 2k with oracle transparent gateway 9.0.1
the 3. computer - Sql Server is a Computer with WinXP and SQL Server 2000 SP3
what i did:
-i created an entry in tnsnames.ora at the database server
-i cerated an entry in listener.ora at the gateway computer.
-i created the file inittg4nidb.ora (tg4nidb = SID)
-i created a database user at the sql server
-i created a database link in oracle
then i tried to select data from the sql server database and i got the following message:
SQL> select * from tab_ScriptCoordination@thomas1;
select * from tab_ScriptCoordination@thomas1
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02068: following severe error from THOMAS1

SID=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=mucsai18.muc.infineon.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=tg4nidb))
the listener seems to be ok (i get an new entry in listener.log when i execute a selectstatement in sql+), also i can see the program tg4msql in the taskmanager of the gatewaycomputer after executing a select.
there must be something wrong in the file inittg4nidb.ora
Here are the entries of this file:

HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER

Thomas,
There is not enough information for me to figure out why you are getting this error. Basically the error indicates that the gateway has crashed.
Please set the HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = DEBUG and take a look at the trace file.
Also send the tnsnames entry as well as the listener.ora

Backup oracle transparent gateway

HI
I have a oracle transparent gateway for mssql server.
Which archives we must backup?
TIA
[email protected]

I'm not sure that I follow the question. What archives are you talking about?
Are you talking about archived log files? If so, you back up whichever logs your backup & recovery plan calls for-- this would be completely independent of your use of the transparent gateways.

Any benefits of Oracle Transparent Gateway to connect to MSSQLServer ?

What are the benefits of Oracle 10G's Oracle Transparent Gateway to connect to MSSQL Server ?

Please be aware all gateways including the free component hsodbc up to release 10.2 have been desupported by 15th of Marcg 2008 and customers should use the follow up products.
The follow up product of TG4MSQL is Database gateway for MS SQl Server v11 and the follow up product of HSODBC is Database gateway for ODBC V11. The V11 gateway are certified with older Oracle database - but you might apply a gateway compatibility patch to the Oracle database release.
There are a lot of differences between DG4MSQL (TG4MSQL) and DG4ODBC (HSODBC):
- DG4MSQL supports many more functions it can directly map to SQl Server equivalents - DG4ODBC only suppors a few functions it can directly map to the equivalenst of a foreign database and all other functions are post processed. Post processing means ALL records from the remote table are fetched into the Oracle database and the result is then processed locally. Depending on the amount of data in the foreign table it might take a while
- DG4MSQL can call remote stored procedures
- DG4MSQL can participate in distributed transactions. This for example allows you to pass data changes in an Oracle table directly in the same transaction to the SQL Server side using triggers. Or you can also use STREAMS to replicate data between both databases.

Hi Pavan,
 Just to add some more valuable information.
Organisational master data : Every company is structured in a certain way. In order to work with the SAP System your company structure has to be represented in the system. This is done with the help of various organizational structures.
Condition master data : In sales and distribution, products are sold or sent to business partners or services are performed for them. Data about the products and services as well as about the business partners is the basis for sales processing. Sales processing with the SAP R/3 System requires that the master data has been stored in the system.
Material master data : In addition to sales and distribution, other departments of the company such as accounting or materials management access the master data. The material master data is stored in a specific structure in order to allow access from these different views.
Document master data : The processing of business transactions in sales and distribution is based on the master data. In the SAP R/3 System, business transaction are stored in the form of documents. These sales and distribution documents are structured according to certain criteria so that all necessary information in the document is stored in a systematic way.
Customer Master Data : or for that matter various business partners, we maintain data for them also called as the customer master data or vendor master data like that.
Thanks & Regards

There's currently no way to monitor a whole SAP system through gridcontrol. Of course you can monitor the underlying database.

What are the methods to modify SAP standard tables?

hi
what are the methods to modify SAP standard tables?

.APPEND structures AND CUSTOMIZING INCLUDES.
these are the two methods.. but customizing includes we, as a developers do not use.
generally we use .APPEND structures to modify standard tables.
note that we need an access key to modify atandard tables.
we can create an apend structure and add that structure to the standard table at the end.
note that .append structures should only be added only at the end.
that is the reason we use .append structures to modify standard tables.as we should not include a field in the middle and disturb the original order of the standard table fields as it may effect many objects depending on the standard table.
but Some standard tables for which there is a LONG datatype field can never be modified.
the reason is the LONG datatype field should always be there at the end and also .APPEND strutures should always be there at the end. there will be a conflict. so, some standard tables can not be appended.
