Call BW query from a Web application

Hi,
I am trying to call a BW query from a Web application. Could you please let me know how to pass the parameters to the query.
Thanks,

I don't know about db2 APIS, but you can use JDBC to connect to DB2 physical files/tables with the DB2 driver. You would need the jar file with the driver info though. I've done this with the webshpere appserver.
import com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver;
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
connectionVar = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://SERVERNAME/LIBRARY", "user", "passwd");
That's the basic info that will get you connected and then you can access any files or tables that are in that library with SQL. You would have to use the Java API though - statements, resulsets etc. Hope it helps.

SQL Azure: Query Analyzer VS Web Application - Calling Stored Prcocedure

I have a stored procedure in SQL Azure.
Calling this stored procedure normally would take 30 minutes.
I need to call this Stored procedure multiple times (18 times, with different input)
Scenario 1: When I call this asynchronously from the Web Application, all 18 calls run concurrently so the whole process take about 30 minutes.
Scenario 2: When I call this same stored procedure from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, (each process in a different TAB) they seem to be running very slowly, it has already taken more than 5 hours.
Is there a reason for this ?
Is there any difference in calling multiple stored procedures from different tabs ?
Is this process running Asynchronously ?
What is the best was to achieve scenario without going via the front end ?

Is there a reason for this ?
--When you are running the query, no matter application or SQL Server, please check sys.dm_exec_requests and check the session status in SQL Server and see if any difference.
Maybe it is caused by blocking when running in SSMS. We need to dig into it.
I am not sure how you call the procedure asynchronously in application, but if they are sent to SQL Server within different connections/sessions, then it should be the same as SSMS.
Is there any difference in calling multiple stored procedures from different tabs ?
--No.
Is this process running Asynchronously ?
--When you start the procedure in SSMS, it is a synchronize session.
However, the slowness should not be associated with the synchronization or not.
Per my understanding, for the asynchronously calling in application, it simply means that application goes to execution other code without for SQL Server.
This does not affect the real time cost in SQL Server.
What is the best was to achieve scenario without going via the front end ?
--We need to understand what cause the issue first. Normally they should be almost the same.
Right now the procedure caused 30 minutes to complete and it is really too long. I think you'd better make adjustment to the code or logic to tune the performance first.

You are getting the exception at very first point of Pipeline Service i.e Receiver Determination, do compare the namespace, Sender Interface Name & Sender Service name with the payload you are sending from web-application, they must be exactly same.
The best way to get the test payload is suggested in above reply.

Calling a query from BPS application

Hi all,
I'm looking for an option to call BW query from BPS application (BW BPS).
In the BPS layout (XLS) I have hierarchy of profit centers in the rows. I would like to select on PC and run a query for this single PC. It could be with double click, right click menu item, button (FOX formula, sequence), ...
Just like RRI between 2 queries.
Is there a way to solve this.
Thanks.

Hi,
I was also facing the same issue But I could solve it like this :
Pre-requisites :
a. A view ( to which you would like to jump )must be created in BEx.
b. You must have launched Business Explorer ( not necessarily you must have logged on to BEx
Step1 : Launch planning application using UPSPL.
You must have observed that the BEx tool bar is now embedded and is visible in the planning folder
Step2.Click on open --> Saved Views --> Select your view --> Open the view.
Another window is launched and your view is displayed.
However, I have observed one limitation : This works only once. If you try and execute Step 1 and 2 in the same session, it fails.
Hope this solves your problem as well.

Atul

Call BEX-Query from VBA with BEX-automatic login?

Hi,
I'm trying to call a query from VBA. I have two problems/questions:
1. Automatic login?
I want to do an automatic login. I found this peace of code here, but I get an error:
Public Function LogonToYourBW()
' create Logon & RFC-Handle
logonToBW = False clear connect Flag the flag can be used to find out if connected or not
    'load SAP functionality by opening BEX file ( use your installation path)
        Workbooks.Open (c:\sappc\bw\sapbex.xla)
    With Run("sapbex.xla!sapbexGetConnection") call the connection
       ' Set the params for Auto logon

End Function
The error is by this row:
Set g_oFunction.Connection = g_oConnection
Object is needed! How is the g_oConnection-object defined?
2. How can I pass values for the parameters from VBA?
If I open the query usually from SAP-BEX-Toolbar, after selecting the query, I get a parameter mask, where I must put in a value. How can I this automatize from VBA? Has anybody a short samplecode for that?
Thank you for your help

Peter and others:
What I really want to do is write a stand-alone application that I can run from windows scheduler that queries our BW for sales data for certain items (in a tabular form) and pulls that data into a VB recordset, or a .NET dataset so that I can insert the rows into another database (SQL Server, or Access) I already know how to do all the data movement to/from datasets and databases I just cannot figure out how to programmatically grab this sales data from BW our company has workbooks already set up that aggregate WW sales information by region (IE, there is a separate workbook for each region of the world) I can manually go into the Excel interface, tell it which items to pull the sales info for, and it dumps the data into the worksheet (organized by customer, and then by cat #)
So, what Id like to do is write an app that will pull data every week or so from the BW (from each regions sales invoice detail workbook), and insert it into another database that we use for reporting other, non-sales, data.
Thoughts on this ? Is there another, non-BEx method that is better ?
thanks !!

How can I execute a query from a BSP application?

How can I execute a query from a BSP application?
I´m trying to execute a Query from intranet. I´ve been looking for examples, but the templates I´ve found doesn´t help me.
does anybody has an example?
Thanks.

Hi
Have you designed the BSP application ?
design it first with one page
page will have layout and Event handlers
Design the layout with the fields
in the event handler there are events
in the event On Initiailization or ON inputprocessing write the select query similar to what we write in routine ABAp and fetch the data into ITAB and that has to be passed to the Layout
see the doc

To learn how to create Web applications with Business Server Pages, you can work through the simple tutorials that build on each other. You should be able to run through all of the steps described here in your own system.
If you want to develop Web applications with BSPs, your system must meet the following requirements: Prerequisites for Creating Web Applications.
The following tutorials are available:
· First Tutorial: First Steps with Business Server Pages
· Second tutorial: A Small BSP Application and A Small BSP Application with HTMLB
· Third tutorial: Our First Online Bookshop
· Fourth tutorial: Further Developing the Bookshop
· A small Tutorial is also available for your first steps with the Model View Controller design pattern.
· For a more complex MVC tutorial based on the third tutorial, see: Our Little Online Bookshop Using MVC and HTMLB
When creating BSP applications, note the browser dependencies described in Note 598860.
steps:
1) start the transaction RZ10.
2) now u u have to select Profile name, so select the INSTANCE Profile from the list of options given with the Profile parameter list.U may find multiple instance profile in the list, so select the profile in which ur server name is given.
3) u will also find three options in the same window.
Administrator data, Basic Maintenance, and Extended Maintenance. So select the last one from that.
4) Now click on change button.
5) here u will find parameter icm/host_name_full, so now set it as FQDN.
6) Now copy ur settings with new version number.
7) Activate that version.
8) And now please restart ur WAS.
So this will set ur FQDN, and also don't forget to login using Admin User.
Now u also check for following service are active in your ICF setting or not,( just start transaction code SICF)
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap

How to update survey in Complaint from developed web application

Hello,
We've setup complaint management including the usage of surveys within a complaint document.
Complaint documents are accessed using the SAP GUI but will also be maintained using a newly developed application in the Enterprise Portal.
To access the survey using the external web application I need to know how to call the URL for the survey within a complaint transaction. I know how to setup the survey parameter xml but that allows me to call the survey irrespective of a transaction document. How do I call a URL that allows me to bring up a survey stored within a complaint document (is there for example a parameter I can pass to the URL indicating the GUID of the document the survey is in?
Thanks,
Patrick

I have used local ejbs in other application servers, WebSphere and JBoss, from discrete web applications running in the same VM as the ejbs. The requirement for local interfaces is that the ejb and client be running in the same VM. Maybe Weblogic is different in that respect, but I doubt it. Why marshal data through a Remote interface when both components are in the same VM?
I have gone through the Weblogic documentation and have not been able to find an answer to my question, which is why I posted the original question the way I did. Weblogic does not put the ejb in the jndi namespace, but the ejb can be acquired through jndi. In the Weblogic console deployments view I can see the bean deployed as CustomerBean, but there is no clue as to its jndi name. This forum is peppered with different schemes for accessing an ejb, but none of those has worked for me, hence the different names I tried.

IMAP/SSL: problem connecting from a web application

Hi,
I try to connect to a IMAP/SSL server (with a self-signed certificate) from a web application. I followed http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip115.html.
When I try to connect from a java application it works fine. But when I try it from a servlet, it fails:
javax.mail.MessagingException: gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory;
nested exception is:
     java.net.SocketException: gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory
     at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.protocolConnect(IMAPStore.java:461)
     at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:236)I use Tomcat 5.5, jdk1.5.0_06 and javamail-1_3_3_01. Here is my code:
          Security.setProperty( "ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory");
Properties props = new Properties();
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
store.connect(server, 993, username, password);
store.close();Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Előd.

I am not sure there is a class called MBoxSSLFactory. Is that a typo? We are in the same boat. We have a web application running on Tomcat that needs to connect to the IMAP store on the MS Exchange 2003 Server. It was working fine until we enabled Basic Authentication - SSL/TLS required setting on it.
In order to eliminate any complications due to Tomcat and all we are trying to get a simple standalone program that talks to IMAP server (using the DummySSLSocketFactory, DummyTrustManager etc) working.
I am stuck on the same error: (shown below is the stack trace and the code we are running). I have tried all the suggestions that have been posted on this "Unconnected Sockets not implemented" issue. I have tried it with both Jdk 1.4.2_08 and JDK 1.5.0.
The JavaMail version is 1.4. If I use JavaMail version 1.3.1 it complains that there is no store type "imaps". If I use "imap" and not "imaps" as the store type I end up getting "Authentication Failed" exception.
Instead of a DummyTrustManager I even tried importing a certificate. We have deployed a Verisign trial certificate on the EXchange server side. So when we run the InstallCert program (http://blogs.sun.com/andreas/entry/no_more_unable_to_find) it allows us to add the valid certificates to our keystore. Once that is done we have tried to create TrustManager based on that keystore. But NOPE..No success. same problem.
We have been stuck on this one for the last 4 days and we have a very critical client deployment that is hampered by this one. I know it is turkey time now..but would really appreciate it if some one can help us out.

Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman

1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.

Since you control the application AND the plugin - you can define ANY method of communication you want. Shared files, shared memory, IPC, named pipes, etc.

Issue with member move, change or delete from Planning web application

Hi
We need to make some basic editing (move, change or delete) of level 0 members of the cost center dimension from Planning web application instead of from essbase database outline. But everytime, we tried from the web Admininstration/Dimension drill down and did a Cut or Delete of a base member, the screen either becomes blank or hangs. And we would have to stop and restart the Planning web application server to bring it back.
Is this a bug or is there something we missed? We are using Planning 4.0.1 and essbase 7.1.1. Any advice on workaround is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Have you tried running the planning server in the foreground from the start menu and check the output to see if there are any issues.
Also it might be worth trying to increase the java heap size, maybe you have a complex hierarchy and this is causing the heap size to max out.
Have you tried using another method to make changes to the hierarchy such as HAL ?
Cheers
John
