Best way to perform third party app integration in version 4.6

I am working with a third-party vendor offering a freight and transportation rate software (Bourque Rateserver and Railtrac).
From our 4.6 system, we need to perform relatively simple remote SQL statements (inserts, call stored procs, reads). We attempted to code these operations with EXEC SQL abap statements, but ran into permissions problems on the remote system. We do not want to deploy middleware (XI, other EAI tools). Can anyone provide thought on the best way to develop this simple integration?

Hi Robert,
We have a very similar requirement... to call a stored procedure on Borque RAILTRAC system to get the Rail Freight Rate at the time of creating a Sales Order. Can you please give me more details on how you have implemented the call to the stored procedure and how the RFC connection is established? Thanks a lot.

What's the best way to integrate third party shopping carts with ATG's (10.6)?

Hi,
We are using ATG (10.6) for our e-commerce platform and we have many other websites which try to engage the end user to buy our products.
Those other websites are developed using different technologies but we would like to allow the visitor to click a buy button and add things to a local shopping cart. That "generic" Shopping cart will be hosted locally in the website and only when he/she tries to "check out" we will forward them to e-commerce (ATG) main page, but the ATG's shopping cart has to have all the item he/she selected previously on the website.
How can that be done?
1) In the best possible way?
2) In the simplest possible way?
Regards

Hi,
We have seen that. Thanks.
Now, how could we add multiple tiems to ATG's shopping cart before redirecting the user to ATG's home?
The scenario we see is:
User navigates on a Marketing website, spots items he/she is interested in and add them to the LOCAL shopping cart (without leaving the current website), after adding many items he/she decides to buy these items buy clicking FINISH, at this moment we add the N items to ATG shopping cart (how??) and redirect the user to ATG's home.
Is that possible?
Thanks

SAP R/3 integration with (Manual) Third-party App

Hi All
I am working on a scenario in which Third Party application has functionality which actually refines & correct the data upto the accuracy of 99%. So for this end-user needs to enter bit of information on their front-end then application will return the data on the basis of that information.
Now the problem has different parts -->
*) If I choose that SAP R/3 will initiate the ( Synchronous ) process then ABAPers raised the concern that they will not be able to display the response data on correct SAP screen also how to actually access the front-end of Third party.
Third-Party is ready to replace the Front-end with the web-service but then end-user will not be having the functionlity to select different options which is the strong part of Third-party application & also client is not agree to that.
Do you think I should use BPM in above solution with correlation on some field to identify the SAP screen.
*) If I choose Third Party application to initiate the ( Asynchronous ) process then again ABAPers raised the concern that how to display it on the correct SAP screen & how they know that data is coming at this point of time & they need to display it. Also Third Party said in this case they don't have expertise to customize their Front-end application & which will lead to additional cost to hire other developers.
Now can you suggest some good solutions for this kind of scenario in which an application needs the Manual intervention & needs to be integrated with SAP R/3. Also suggest from which direction I should initiate the process.
Thanks

Matias
<<<< with front-end do you refer to SAP R/3 ?
No Matias with Front-End I meant Third Party is providing the web-page where end-user can enter the details & those will be refined & corrected by the Third-Party Application.
<<<<< Which ways has the Third-Party app to connect with (file, database, jms, etc.).
Third-Party App is providing Java Classes & Web-Services for integration but we don't want to access them directly, first of all we would like to invoke/access the Front-end application.
<<<< What is the purpose of this third-party app ? just to receive data, validate it and return it once it is corrected ?
Actually in this Front-end user can enter the data on given fields & data will be keep on refining while he is entering the more information into that given field. For e.g if the field says "City" & user enters "DE", a drop-down will come with all the cities in the world starting with "DE" like Delhi, Denmark etc.Once all the fields are populated with correct data user will click on "Submit" button which will send the data to SAP R/3 ( which we wish to do ).
Now in this case when user will click on Submit button ( means Third-party will initiate the process ) & data will be send to XI using ( for e.g ) HTTP sender then ABAPer's raised concern that how they will be able to show it in the right screen without using proper thread ID.
Pls. let me know in case you require any further information. My problem is this how to relate the Third-Party data with correct screen of SAP.
Thanks

A way to keep playing iPod music in third party apps?

Is there a way to keep third party apps from overriding the iPod music playing? In other words, keep playing my music, rather than the sound effects of the game?

By reading the iPad Users Guide there should be two ways. One is to, on your computer, move the Music Videos to the movies part of your library. The other way is to make a play list that excludes the Music Video and only shuffle that playlist. Regarding the latter, the USers Guide says:
Shuffle the tracks in any playlist, album, or other
list of songs
From the Now Playing screen, tap the album art
to show the song controls onscreen. Tap (this is an icon that looks like a black background with three horizontal black lines) at the
bottom of the screen, then tap Shuffle at the
top of the list of songs.
Whether or not iPad is set to shuffle, if you tap
Shuffle at the top of a list of songs, iPad plays the
songs from that list in random order.

Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way!

Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way! Apple TV is not Apple anymore...

Primarily because those third party apps are just that, they are not Apple apps, and each have their own requirements for activation.

Is there a way to refuse a third party app update?

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing an app. In many cases problems seem to arise with the update. Is there anyway to turn off the automatic update for third party apps? Or selectively deny an update to a particular app?

You cannot turn off the notification for third party updates. You do NOT have to accept the update - the update will only occur if you select the app and allow the update to take place.
You will have to simply ignore the notification if you really do not want to update the app, but it some cases - apps will no longer work if the iOS is updated and the app is updated to run only in the newest iOS. So just be aware of that as well.

Third party apps and peripherals to blame?

I am wondering what applications and external add-ons are working and which ones are not?
It appears to me a lot of people are having problems with external hard drives and previously installed applications.
I did a clean install and have only added Apple programs so far (iLife, iWork). I am hesitant to add any other programs for fear of messing up my install, or worse... my Macbook.
The big question is who did the research and development (lack of) on Leopard.
It is beginning to look more and more like Apple focused all it's attention on perfecting the OS and left all the responsibilities for software compatibility to the third party software developers.
Bad idea. Companies that make software for Apple computers are catering to a far smaller market than our PC brothers, which leads me to believe they do not have the resources to insure 100% compatibility. Apple should have anticipated this and performed more testing.
When I installed Roxio Toast 7 I could not burn a disk image. Shortly thereafter my superdrive stopped working completely. I found out from other posts, that you need version 8, or an older version of 7 to get it to work. On Roxio's website there is no mention of this at all. No a peep.
Apple had a few years to check compatibility and work software engineers to make sure their products worked on Leopard.
I further confirmed my suspicions when I visited the apple store today. I was there because my superdrive stopped working. After I installed Leopard and started to re-install my applications (Office, Toast), the drive quit accepting disks. They replaced the drive while I was at the store. By the way they said it was a coincidence. Mmmm.
While I waited (Fantastic customer support by the way, even on a Sunday) I noticed all the computers in the store happily running Leopard without a hitch. I looked deeper and found little or no third party software installed. External hard drives and cameras appeared to be working fine, but with no added software.
My suggestion is be real careful with what you install.
To Apple... Pleeeaaase test your products more thoroughly before sending them out the door. It may not be your responsibility, but if there are known issues then they should be disclosed.
On the other hand how sad it that... Imagine- "To install our software you must take the weekend off, back up all your data, delete all third party apps, and hope you hardware works with our new OS. Some of you will be lucky and others will not. Meeting our system requirements does not really guarantee anything... Good luck".

It seems they deleted my post from discussions. Thanks.

Third party apps not working

so looks like my friends that have updated to 3.1.3 are having issues with launching their third party apps is there a way to fix this, i also have one but waiting on to see if apple can clarify if there is a problem before i update mine.

The issue is actually not related to the 3.1.3 update.
The issue occurs because the iPod or iPhone is unable to properly authenticate that you are the proper owner of the application. The apps are launched, the device checks who purchased the app, then checks if it has been authorized to continue. At some point in the process a mismatch occurs and the app quits. The easiest way of determining if this is your specific issue is to launch a native app (Phone, iCal, Contacts, etc) and verify that it launches, then launch a downloaded app (Skype, AIM, Facebook, etc) and verify that it quits shortly after launching.
Two possible ways of resolving the issue:
1) Trying to keep most application data, sync iPod/iPhone, deauthorize computer and sync again, reauthorize computer, and sync again. You may lose music on the iPod/iPhone until the final sync. Make sure it's all on your computer beforehand.
If that doesn't work,
2) Deauthorize computer, restore iPod/iPhone, authorize computer, set iPhone up as new device, then sync. This is the cleanest (and in my opinion the best) method but will also not preserve all application data (WIFI passwords, voicemail password, certain saved data within applications, SMS, etc).
To deauthorize and reauthorize your computer account, load iTunes and select the "Store" menu item.
Hope this helps,
Brian

How are the third party apps for the iPhone?

Being a long time Palm user, then moved to BlackBerry I watched the quality of third party apps really plummet due to a more restrictive development agreement.
Now considering an iPhone, I'm curious about how healthy the 3rd party app community is for iPhone, something I miss from my Palm days. From what I've heard, the development for iPhone applications is even more restrictive than for BlackBerries.
Anyone that wouldn't mind addressing one or all of these questions for me from their own experience, would be greatly appreciated.
1) Do you use third party applications on your iPhone, or do you find the native Apple software to be sufficient?
2) Are there alot of different choices for utilities, or do you find yourself pigeonholed to 1-2 programs.
3) Would you say that the third party apps are "mature" that is stable, follow similar flow/integration with the phone and designed in an intuitive way?
Again thanks for anyone that chooses to help me with this. I was really disappointed with the apps available for the Blackberry. At $15-$25 dollars each, I was usually let down by the quality and selection and overall experience.

The native software is excellent and I also have apps to fill in for things not available as part of the out of the box iPhone.
2) Are there alot of different choices for utilities, or do you find yourself pigeonholed to 1-2 programs.
If you go to the app store and browse, you'll find lots of different utilities. In some cases, there are a dozen different options that do the same basic thing and in other cases there are a couple.
3) Would you say that the third party apps are "mature" that is stable, follow similar flow/integration with the phone and designed in an intuitive way?
Some apps are well done and others aren't. Since they are developed independently, there is variability. The apps I use most frequently seem pretty stable. It all depends on your needs.

Click to Call / Webdialer third-party app?

Hi,
My Environment:
Call Manager 9.1.1a with Unity Connection (no Presence)
My user's ask:
On the old phone system the user has over 400 speed dials maintained by his Aide is there any way to increase the 200 Speed Dial on a Cisco phone to accomadate all the speed dials? My research say no.
If not, can we have a PC based application that allows him to calls from a contact list (not the UCMuser page!) - does not want it integrated with his e-mail/calandar/contacts
Does anyone know of a third-party apps that will simplify click to call for users?
Thanks,

Notes on third-party apps closing (not really crashing) after a restore

Hello,
I'm adding the umpteenth message about a problem that, after happening basically with each single iPhone change since my old iPhone 3G onwards, I would say it's pretty common.
I have solved this problem recently with a third sequence of actions, so I'm posting my brief "history of restores" for the benefit of others. I hope I've tagged this post eloquently enough to make it easy to find.
So, in most (if not all) cases of previous restores I've bumped in the classic issue where after the restore process (which, BTW, involves always a few more sudden phone restarts than expected) only the "native" iPhone apps run normally. All the others appear for an instant and then close. They don't really crash because both in iOS 6 and iOS 7 you can see them as "running" by double-tapping the iPhone front button. Moreover, those with active notifications will actually notify the user regularly. Their UI, though, doesn't go past the splash screen.
The underlying cause, also considering it relates only to apps downloaded via App Store, is presumably some DRM-related information that gets messed up during the restore process.
My personal experience included previously two distinct solutions, and each of those only worked in that occasion, i.e. has been useless in the other cases:
The oldest, and still most documented solution, was just to download, via iPhone, a new app from the app store. After a restart, or maybe even without one, the new app and all the others started working.
The second, less mentioned online but still pretty widespread, was to sign out from the Apple Store on the iPhone, and then sign back in.
This time, where I got a replacement for my iPhone 4s because of the common problem of the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip getting "burned" or dislodged, I tried both the solutions above but they didn't work. In the process, I've found other possible solutions that didn't work:
Deauthorizing iTunes on the Mac and then reauthorizing it.
Getting a new app via iTunes and then syncing the iPhone
Sign out/in with iCloud on the iPhone.
I was therefore close to abandoning my 877 apps already configured and organized in folders in the previous backups, and willing to accept the burden of setting up the iPhone as a new phone.
Nevertheless, I still hoped that a "mixed approach" would work and, indeed, it worked.
Here is the sequence that worked in my latest case:
Restore the iPhone as a new phone
Open the App Store on the iPhone and get a new app, not among those already downloaded previously
Open that app and see that it works (actually, after an iPhone replacement steps 1-3 would make sense anyway to check that the phone works properly)
Start a restore from a previous backup
As soon as the apps start syncing again, open the first app already sync'd and check that it works. It should work, that's what happened to me, and so you can wait the whole time required to sync back all the apps.
My experience involves also a falsification of the statement that the problem resides on individual backups. This is false because I've used the same backup, at step 4, that I selected before going through 1-3 and that was not working initially. Moreover, after step 5, I've realized that the old backup I had used was too old because yesterday evening, while I had my iPhone still misbehaving with third-party apps, I took a few pictures that would have gone lost using the old backup. I have then started again from step 4 with a backup from the night after the pics, when I was fiddling to fix my issues. Also the newer backup, clearly done while the apps where "bad", ended with all my apps working again.
Basically, once the "physical" phone runs third-party apps, than any backup would work. The (missing) authorization portion that causes the misbehaviour might be related to the phone IMEI, or some other piece of information that is not included in backups.
Does anyone know a specific thread here or blog post on some website where there is a collection of cases like mine?
I'm not looking forward to seeing what voodoo variation will be required the next time I replace my iPhone...
Hope this helps.
All the best,
Giovanni

Did latest iPhone update and now non of my third party apps work. They open then close immediately. I tried to restore but can't as my iphone wont sync with itunes now and I will loose my apps. Also my largest app "Sat Nav" has gone. Help ??

Hi All
I have run into problems with my iPhone 4. I hadn't done an update for a while so decided to get my itunes and iphone 4 up to date. I downloaded all the latest versions. However now non of my third party apps work and my largest one has vanished. I try and open them and they flash up and then close again. I thought the easiest thing to do was to restore so I tried to syn my apps onto itunes so I wouldn't loose them. However it won't let me sync the apps onto iTunes. It ill allow me to syn the old version when I just started but since then I have bought a dozen other apps. Can anyone help. thanks

Well this won't work for me...
I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

Formatting music from windows to a mac using third party app

i used a third party app so that i could download music from a pc onto my os x formatted ipod. initially it worked when i moved the music into my itunes library on my mac, but for some reason now a lot of the tracks won't play and my computer freezes if i press play on any track that originally was downloaded onto a pc. is there a way to identify where the songs came from and then delete then from the library without going through each one a seeing if it will play and then having to force quit itunes because it freezes?

From what I know, windows will not recognize the complicated data of a mac formatted device; hence not recognizing it. Macs can recognize a windows formated ipod though, so if you decide to reformat it on windows, then you can use it on both computers. If you dont though, looks like you are out of luck, sorry.
Hope I helped.

ITunes 12 and third party apps

We have a couple third party apps that have been integral to our iTunes media management:
iRingtones -- convenient tool for creating ringtones from media registered with iTunes library
TuneUp -- cleanup album art
Neither of these works with iTunes 12. I realize Apple doesn't have any control over third party apps, but users should be aware that many of these will no longer function once you upgrade to iTunes 12.
If anyone has tips on how to get either of these apps working -- or any other for that matter -- feel free to post here.

Thought I should post this response I got from TuneUp support on Oct. 29 :
"TuneUp Support (TuneUp | Support)
Oct 29 08:05 AM
Hello,
Thank you for your message.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
We are aware of the issue related to the Mac 10.10 and iTunes 12 update. We are working to resolve these issues as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,
TuneUp Support"
