Bex integration third party tools

Hi gurus,
i have few doubts on BEx and BW
1. How a third party reporting tool is accessing the BW data and also adhering the Reporting authorizations. what is the technology behind it.
2. How Bex (excel) gets the data from BW what is the mechanism its using.
3. If we have some custom reporting tool how to integrate it with BW so as to do or view reports in our Z reporting tool.
thanks

  • Integrating third party tools in SAP

    Hi friends,
         Can anybody guide me  about how to integrate third party tools in SAP gui or any other systems in SAP?
        What are all the connectors available in SAP ? and which connector will integrate third party tools.
       Please help me out.

    I am not sure of any standard integration programs specific to recruitment, but through customization we can integrate third party rectt systems like People click, HRP etc.
    Develop inbound programs with ALE-IDOC system to transfer the data to Rectt tables.
    The switch will control activation of integration between the systems.

  • Integration of ChaRM with third party tools

    Hi all,
    We are in the process of building the solution for Change Request Management implementation integrated with third party tool. 
    As the normal process for ChaRM is to work with the Service Desk functionality (to raise a ticket, then support message, change request, change document etc...), but what we need is create the change request, and change document directly with ChaRM without using the Service Desk functionality. 
    Did anybody come across this situation?
    Please share your experience. 
    Thanks in advance.
    Balaji

    Hi Balaji,
    there is no problem, as I understand, you want to use ChaRM without Service Desk. OK, than you create directly a Change Request in CRMD_ORDER, the transaction type you have to select is SDCR (standard transaction type), you have to approve it and then you can create a change document, it is not necessary that you start with a Service Desk ticket like SLFN.
    You need configured TMS a SolMan Project with a Maintenance Cycle, thats it (but this is enough , don't forget the customizing).
    I hope I understood you correct

  • ChaRM integration with third party tool

    Hello,
    I have some talks withn customers regarding a scenario where Change Requests comes from a third party tool like HP Demand and Portfolio Management.  A possible scenario is when there is a request for change which goes for a complex review and process approval before going directly into the ChaRM creation, without going into a service desk ticket.
    I imagine a kind of web service similar to that of the Service Desk but in this case to work with the SDCR or SDHF tickets, so that external systems can interchange data with those Charm tickets.  Does anybody face such type of integration??  What other alternative path you follow for this requests which do not come form a incident/problem workflow?
    I appreciate your comments.
    Regards

  • Third party tool interface integration with SAP

    Hi guys - here's an interesting one:
    I want to integrate a third party tool with SAP.  The interfaces would be required to communicate both ways - sending data out and receiving data and populating relevant tables / transactions.  I, so far see a number of methods available to me that would be suitable and feasible:
    <b>  - File based exchange of data
      - iDocs (custom or standard)
      - BAPIs (custom or standard)</b>
      - XI (but this method would not be feasible and would thus not consider it)
    In all the cases above (apart from XI), I guess I would require a program that would call the BAPIs or distribute iDoc data or extract and populate file based data.  I have so far compiled a list of various advantages and disadvantages and just wanted to probe your expert minds.
    <b>Please list the advantages and disadvantages of each method, providing a reasonable discussion as to why you think this is the case.  If you think any other method would be suitable, please list this too.</b>
    The person with the most accurate and detailed answer will receive all the points.
    Thanks
    Mantas

    Hi Mantas,
    The Pros and Cons in this case depends on the third party tool which you want to intergrate with SAP.
    File Based Exchange of data: How conveniently can you push the data from the third party tool into a file.
    IDocs: The third party tool should understand the syntax and symantics of the IDoc.
    BAPIs: How do you plan to call the BAPI from the third party tool.
    From just the SAP point of view.
    Here are the advantages and disadvantages:
    1. File Based Exchange of data:This method is good if you can easily pass a file which can be uploaded into sap and the data can be stored in the sap tables.
    2.IDocs:
    Advantages:
    If you have an existing IDoc that can do the data transfer then this would be the simplest method as only the settings are needed.No program is required to call this IDoc the settings automatically take care of this.
    Disadvantages:
    If a custom IDoc needs to be developed then creation of a BAPI would be a better option.
    3.BAPIs:
    Advantages:
    It is simpler to develop a BAPI than a custom IDoc which involves creation of segments, function modules etc.
    Disadvantages:
    There should be an active online connection.
    Some programming will be needed to call the BAPI.

  • Currency Conversion using third party tool

    Hi,
    I am trying to access BW from a third party tool and so far been quite successfull accessing BW Infocubes and Bex Queries by using OLAP BAPIs. However my customer wants to use currency conversion as it is available in BEX in the third party tool as well. I need some thoughts in this direction from experts who have worked on Business Objects and BW integration.
    I believe Business Objects has a similar interface with BW using OLAP BAPIs. Is there a currency conversion functionality available in Business Objects for BW? Would really appreciate if somebody, who has tried out this feature, can share some of his/her experience.
    Thanks,
    Anurag.

    Jean,
    We use Maestro for all our scheduling scripts. To start\stop the
    environment and start\stop applications. We create a shell script that uses
    escript to start/stop applications. Maestro just calls the shell scripts
    and monitor it for completion. I think you have to write the shell script
    in a standard way to return an error if it does not finish properly. Here
    is an example:
    #!/bin/csh
    source /appls/forte/fortedef.csh
    $FORTE_ROOT/install/bin/start_nodemgr -fm "(x:300000)" -e TR2ProdEnv
    ps -fu forte | grep -v grep|grep nodemgr>/appls/forte/production/scripts/KBB
    set KBB=/appls/forte/production/scripts/KBB
    if (-z $KBB) then
    exit 1
    else
    exit 0
    endif
    Hope this helps.

    Subject: Using third party tool to initiate a Forte batch program
    Hello Forte Users,
    Our company has acquired a software product called Maestro. It's a
    production scheduling facility that manages tasks for batch mode
    execution.
    We would like to know if anyone out there has had any experience using
    this
    product with Forte. One recommendation that we discussed was to have
    Maestro start a script on Escript to communicate to an agent that would
    start the batch process at a specified time. Has anyone done something
    similar or can offer any suggestions ?

  • Third party tool which can create infosets in SAP R/3

    Hi All, Is there any third party tool that could create infosets in ECC for reporting.We integrated crystal reports with ECC and want to create queries using infosets and make use of BAPI's. There are several 100's of reports to be developed and we are afraid we might make mistakes when we have to join all the tables in ECC during infoset creation. We are hoping to find a third party tool that could do this or has infosets that could be used.

  • Open hub Destinations - Third-Party Tools As Destinations

    Dear all, below is the SAP Help process flow steps. I am quiet clear of all the steps except the APIs. Where do we define these APIs? When it says "You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction" where do I use it? Is it in the 3rd party tool? or is it in SAP BI.
    If it is in 3rd party tool, where in 3rd party tool. Do I need to write as code ? or would I have an option in the 3rd party tool?
    If someone can help me with Microsoft connector using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages to SAP BI that would be helpful.
    Where in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages can I use/put this APIs? Any help Plzz
    If it is in SAP BI where in SAP BI do I have to use these APIs? Any help is highly appreciated
    Regards,
    KK
    Process Flow:
    Extraction to the third-party tool can be executed as follows:
           1.      You define an open hub destination with Third-Party Tool as the destination type.
           2.      You create an RFC destination for your third-party tool and enter it in the definition of the open hub destination.
           3.      You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction.
           4.      You either start extraction immediately or include it in a process chain. You can also start this process chain from the third-party tool using process chain API RSPC_API_CHAIN_START. The extraction process then writes the data to a database table in the BI system.
           5.      When the extraction process is finished, the system sends a notification to the third-party tool using API RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY.
           6.      The extracted data is read by API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_READ_DATA.
           7.      The status of the extraction is transferred to the monitor by API RSB_API_OHS_REQUEST_SETSTATUS.

    It's been a along time since i worked with open hub, but here goes:
    The Third Party tool needs parameters or switches to work correctly. Think of the old DOS commanda the  "/a" "/b" suffix.
    The APIs are simply a way to pass these parameters from the BW source to the Third Party target.
    If your tool does not need them, don't worry about them.

  • Integrating third party recruitment with SAP

    Hi folks,
    I had a question regarding intergrating the third party system with SAP HR masterdata. I am basically looking at transferring the applicant data from the Recruiting (third party tool ) system into SAP HR Masterdata. I found using the feature PAPLI something like integration could be done. I do not know how ???
    Right now, at the click of button something like Data transfer (entering the applicant id) can be manually imported into SAP Masterdata from the SAP recruiting module on the same system.
    Can such a process be achieived using  a third party tool? Is direct transfer process from the thrid party tool into SAP Employee Masterdata possible? Is the feature PAPLI (found from IMG) something like this can be accomplished?
    The version we are using is SAP 4.6C
    Any thoughts or leads in this area will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

  • BPMon: Send BPMon alerts to third party tool through SNMP traps

  • SSL: Portal and Third-Party-Tool

    Hello everybody,
    I need an advice how to solve the following problem: We integrated a Third-Party-WebTool with the Application Integrator. If we lauch the portal and the special iView with HTTP everything works fine but with HTTPS we get an error message: "Session Management will not work! Please check DSM log files for details. You can turn off this alert inside 'Support Desk' -> 'SAP Application'"
    Do I need those logs? Because if I understood the message correctly this deals only with SAP Applications. What about Third-Party-Tools with own SSL certificates? How solve the problem described above? Do I need to import the certificate of my Third-Party-Tool into my portal keystorage? Do I need to configure anything else?
    Thanks in advance...
