Also see SAP note: 518241 for Oracle
To summarize:
If on BI 7.0:
-Go to RSA1
-Go to Source Systems
-Right Click on DB Connect -> Create
Once the source system has been configured..
-Right Click on Source System
-Create Datasource
-From here you can specify the Database & table/views from which you want to extract the data from. (Under the Extraction Tab)
Hope it helps & good luck.

We currently have ILM 2007 in our environment with limited usage at the moment. We are looking at purchasing Oracle Identity Manager to implement an enterprise wide IAM solution.
We were wondering if it is possible to continue using ILM like a middleware between our AD forests and the Oracle IdM. Where the Oracle IdM is the overarching IAM solution and Microsoft ILM 2007/FIM 2010 is like the metadirectory for our AD forests.
Is this possible without installing the Oracle Management Connector on any of our DCs and using ILM as the directory that Oracle IdM connects to. All AD account provisioning/de-provisioning, acct updates, password sync/reset will be initiated from the Oracle IdM to ILM and then implemented on AD. In order words no direct interaction with AD domain controllers from Oracle IdM, everything will go to ILM and ILM in turn applies it to AD.
Is this possible?yes

Is there a custom connector that will work with ILM 2007/FIM 2010Yes, if you write one you will have a custom connector

Is this a simple customization or something that can be problematic and expensive?It won't be simple. Problematic and expensive maybe, depends on how good you are with OIM and ILM

after lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

I've had a similar problem. On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4, Firefox would not open. Crashed every time. Safari was not affected. I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago.
Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

Any Blackberries Sync With Microsoft CRM?

I am trying to find a phone that will sync with my desktop computer and download the accounts/contacts I have stored in our Microsoft CRM database.

How to connect with Microsoft Access Database with JAVA

I want to know the command and query to connect between MSAccess and JDBC.
Is it beter way to make connection with MSAccess comparing with other Databases such as SQL and Oracle.
Which Database will be the best with Java?
I also want to know to be platform indepadent which database is suitable?

On Windows, you can use MS Access database by:
Set up a System Data Source using the ODBC control panel applet.
Use the jdbc:odbc bridge JDBC driver, and specify a jdbc url that points to the data source name you just specified.
It's been too long since I've done this, so I don't remember the syntax of the jdbc url, but I'm sure that if you do a search for the jdbc:odbc bridge that you will find what you are looking for.
As far as the question about which database is best, you will need to determine that based on your project requirements.
If you want a quick and dirty, open source, cross-platform database, take a look at HyperSonic SQL.

Network connection with Microsoft 8.1

I am having problems connecting to the internet. I just bought a desktop with 8.1 already installed onto it. I tried connecting with a ethernet cable and that didn't work and there is nowhere to choose a wifi network. I am not very tech savvy so any information
will be helpful. Thanks

Hi,
For the wired connection, first, please check whether the configuration for the wired connection is fine, I mean the modem\router\outside cable, etc. Try another device to test the connection.
If the connetion is fine, then we can focuse on Windows 8.1, run the troubleshooter and see if it can detect something, Action Center\Troubleshooting\Network and Internet.
Please also check the device status under Device Manager\Network Adapter, to launch Device Manager, you can type "device manager" in the right search charm bar.
Please make sure to keep the latest driver for network adapter.
Regarding to the wireless connection, some desktop PCs do not have this feature, contact the PC vender for confirmation.

Calendar Connectivity with Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi Everybody,
We want to use Calendar scheduling activity of Micrsoft Exchange Server in NW Portal Version 7 SP9. However we are stuck up with the following problem.
The Scenario is like:
1)The IIS Server and MS Exchange Server are in same domain.
2)MSX-A component has been /copied installed on IIS Server 5.
3)DLL registered.
4)We are using MS Oultook 2003 and Exchange Server 2003.
5)An IIS website has been created following the guidelines from a PDF document( Its wihtout SSO).
6)Logon Locally permissions given to all users.
When the CDO Version test is executed the common error "Microsoft Outlook not configured for Corporate/Work group access. Reconfigure MS Outlook and try again" is thrown.
As per the information from sdn only MS Outlook 2000 needs to be configured for this.
When the Data Retrieval test is executed an error message "CDO MAPI_E_NOT_INITIALIZED(80040605)" is shown.
Please share your views on this situation.
Suresh Yadav

If I were you, I would create an OSS customer message for this.
Maybe a quick fix though... Have you installed Outlook 2003 on the same server as IIS is running on? Have you run outlook at least once and connected it to your Exchange server, setting it as the default mail client?
Also, there is a note about what to do for exchange transports when you do a portal patch. Applying those steps might be a good idea even if you have not done an upgrade.
Good Luck.

Graham.

CAS with WSUS(SUP)upstream server connected with microsoft for updates and 3 downstream servers Primary with WSUS(sup)

hi aaa
WSUS in the same site server with sccm but we have one cas and three primary with WSUS
how much traffic will generate due to this process , as our CAS with WSUS will be in the same box and it will provide updates to downstream Servers in three primary sites. IS it good to have WSUS and site server together as we have SQL in different box for
all three primary and CAS.

Hi Torsen
35000 clients with CAS 16GB memory and 300GB Hard disk same for all primary sites
Germany with 6000 clients ,norway with china with 15000 clients and UK with 10000clients
As the client wanted to Use CAS ,we have created CAS otherwise it could be standalone primary site.
CAS in China with each region having Primary site so we have three primary.

Hi Angie and Richard
Currently I am also having the similar issue and I tried the settings you mentioned. But I get his error
The adapter failed to transmit message going to send port "WcfSendPort_OrganizationService_CustomBinding_IOrganizationService" with URL "https://examplecrm.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc".
It will be retransmitted after the retry interval specified for this Send Port. Details:"System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The message with Action 'http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200512/RST/Issue' cannot be processed at the receiver, due
to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver
have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).
By any chance did you go through this error or do you have any suggestions?I am trying to connect from WCF-Custom adapter on BizTalk 2010 to CRM 2013 using ADFS.
Thanks

Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)

Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
time.
I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.

So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
users.
Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
certificate.
See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
PS
ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else...
