Connect to another SQL server from SAP

Hi All,
I want to connect SAP to another SQL server. Basically each day I need to take data from 2 tables in SAP tables to another sql server. I want this to be automated via a program in SAP.
Please suggest me some methods to achieve this.
I have searched the web and found that this is possiable, some transactions such as DBCO was mentioned, but it was not much helpful.
Thanks a lot.

How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

Hi All,
Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
Thank you,
Praveen.

we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

Connect to MS Sql Server from Java Source

Hi,
Is there any way I could connect to ms sql server from Java source? I know I can call java source from function thats easy but what I really want is capability to connect to non-oracle(MS SQL server) from my java source and then call it from function.
I don't know if JDBC driver for SQL server is even installed/available. Is there a way I could find it out form my IDE? I know sqlJ does compile but I have never used sqlj. help!!!

You'll probably have better luck in a Java forum or a Microsoft forum.

Connecting to network SQL Server from SQL Developer

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to network SQL Server from SQLDeveloper but I am unable to connect( I am getting could not connect to SQL Server...). I have searched many sites but could not find the solution. I am giving HostName as MachineName\InstanceName and keeping the port as 1433.
Can anyone explain how that connection string should be given.
Thanks.

From help with additional comments
Host Name: Host system for the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database.
E.g., sybase.myCompany.org (DNS name or IP address)
Port: TCP/IP Port on which Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server will listen.
As mentioned by others, need to know how server is configured. Common values: 1433, 5000
Retrieve Database: Name of the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database.
Once the other data is correct, press this to populate list box and select which database you want associated with this connection. E.g., pixar, pubs2, etc.

Connect to MS SQL server from OWB on Linux platform

Hi,
I want to connect to MS SQL server through OWB, on Linux platform.
I suppose I would use JDBC driver, and Heterogeneous services. Is that possible?
I did not see anything on JDBC driver for MS SQL server for Linux platform from Oracle.
Also, I was wondering is Oracle Gateway 10g for Linux a way to connect to MSSQL server?
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ani

Hi,
This quite an actual topic for myself, so I decided to take some time to collect some information.
Start at:
* Oracle Generic Connectivity and Oracle Transparent Gateway - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/gateways/gateways_fov.html
You can use the free Heterogenous Services component named Generic Connectivity for connecting to SqlServer over ODBC. You will need to find (or purchase?) a third-party ODBC driver for SqlServer for Linux, e.g. from www.datadirect.com. Setting this up will allow you to define a databaselink to the SqlServer. Open Gateways implements a limited set of the oracle SQL, so you will have to find out what is possible and what not.
See also:
* How To Setup HSODBC on Linux - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=264567.1
* Generic Connectivity Available on Linux x86 with 10g - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=261726.1
You can also use the Transparent Gateway for SqlServer (HS), which is about EURO 12000 per computer(!). This gives you a full implementation of Oracle SQL and you can access the SqlServer like it was Oracle.
You can also install Microsofts JDBC drivers into Oracle's JVM, and connect through JDBC to SqlServer. This is however not supported by Oracle, but it will work. See:
* What is required for a Java Stored Procedure to connect to a SQL Server Database? - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=276167.1

* Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=233876.1

Good luck, Erik Ykema

Connecting to Windows SQL server from Unix Oracle Server

How can I connect to Windows MS SQL server from Unix Oracle Server? What installation or package will I need?

Two options:
1) Do a search on "Oracle Transparent Gateways" and/or "Heterogenous Services". These are products that are designed solely to connect to other databases from Oracle.
2) Use a type-4 JDBC driver for SQL Server, installed and running in the JVM of your Oracle server. I'm assuming your Oracle database is sufficiently recent to be java-enabled here.

Connect to MS-SQL Server from a Oracle 10g running under Solaris

Hi,
I have the following problem. I want to access a MS-SQL server from an Oracle database (10g Enterprise licence) that is running on Solaris.
After googling a while, the following questions arise:
- Is it correct that the Oracle Transparant Gateway for the SQL Server is not available on Solaris platforms (but only on Windows)?
- Is it right, that the second possibility to solve this problem is to use an SQL-Server odbc driver for Solaris and access the SQL-Server over ODBC? And: Is this feature included in the Enterprise licence?
- If yes, which driver is good and cheap ;-)?
- Is there any other way to solve this problem?
Thanks
Aron

I believe the Transparenet Gateway for SQL Server is available on Solaris. The problem is that you need a Unix based ODBC driver which you will also need to pay for.
We had this same problem and decided to run a windows based Heterogeneous Services gateway and routed through it instead of using the SQL Server transparent gateway. The Heterogenous severives gateway is NOT an add on product (as is Transparent Gateway). The drawback would be performance as I would expect the native MS SQL transparent gateway to perform better, but in our case it worked acceptably.

Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server from Linux

Hi,
I am currently trying to migrate an OBIEE deployment from Windows to Linux, I have found much information about connection to Oracle DBs but I cannot find out how to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server DB. I have my webcat and RPD transferred but see ODBC errors for all of the reports, can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

I eventually solved this using UnixODBC and FreeTDS, I have yet to complete my own write-up of the solution but I found that someone else had solved the problem at more-or-less the same time and has written up the solution here:
http://iadvise.blogspot.com/2008/02/connect-from-rhel5-to-mssqlserver.html
If anyone finds this in the future and has questions please feel free to get in touch, I get email when this thread is updated so that should be enough. Thanks to Damon for putting me on the right track.

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

Accessing SQL Server form SAP

HI,
I want to get data on SQL Server from SAP.
What is the procedure to do the above.
Thanks.

hi
in the SAP HELP Content,followthe instructions for Tutorial 2: Accessing SQL Server
also take alook at this presentation
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2e81685c-0701-0010-0eb3-918c6d56783a
Below: is the Tutorial 2 instructions.
In this tutorial you will create a portal component that retrieves and displays information from an MS SQL Server database. Your portal component will display information from the Northwind Categories table in a SAP NetWeaver .NET Table control. You will create a dataset to fill with the data and bind the Table control to this dataset to display data.
Note: using a dataset is one of the data access options, which is not always recommended. You will use a dataset in this tutorial for the simplicity.
To complete this tutorial, you need:
Access to a MS SQL Server with valid permissions for the Northwind sample database
Access to a running portal
A portal user account with administrator's permissions
The tutorial is split into a number of smaller pieces:
Section 1. Creating the SAP Portal Application project
Section 2. Creating and configuring the dataset
Section 3. Adding the SAP NetWeaver Table control and binding it to the data
Section 4. Adding code to fill the dataset and display the data
Section 5. Viewing the component in the portal
Section 1.
=========================================================
Creating the SAP Portal Application Project
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
1. In the New Project dialog box, do the following:
(a)In the Project Types pane, choose Visual C# Projects or Visual Basic Projects.
(b)In the Templates pane, choose SAP Portal Application.
(c)Specify a different name and location, or accept defaults.
(d)Click OK.
A new SAP Portal Application project is created at the specified location. A new portal component named PortalComponent1.ascx is added to your project automatically.
Section 2.
=========================================================
Creating and Configuring the Dataset
Prior to creating a dataset, you need to create and configure the data connection and data adapter.
To create the data connection and data adapter
1. From the Data tab of the Toolbox, drag an SqlDataAdapter object onto your portal component form. Data Adapter Configuration Wizard will help you create both the connection and the adapter.
2. In the wizard, do the following:
2(a)In the Choose Your Data Connection pane, create or select an existing connection to the SQL Server Northwind database.
Important: when you configure the database connection, select the option Use a specific user name and password for server logon information. If your password is not blank, select the Allow to save password checkbox, and then select to Include the password in the connection string, when prompted. Although this is not a recommended practice, we use it in this tutorial for simplicity.
2(b) In the Choose a Query Type pane, select the Use SQL statements option.
2(c) In the Generate the SQL Statements pane, create the following SQL statement:
SELECT CategoryID, CategoryName, Description FROM Categories
If you need to build a different SQL statement, click Query Builder to open the Query Builder dialog box.
2(d) Click Finish.
The wizard adds two objects to your portal component: the SqlConnection1 object containing the database connection information and the SqlDataAdapter1 object containing the data definition.
To generate the dataset
1. From the Data menu, choose Generate DataSet. The Generate Dataset dialog box opens.
Tip: If you do not see the Data menu, click the form; the form must have focus for the menu to appear.
2. Select the New option and name the dataset dsCategories.
3. Select the Categories table in the Choose which table(s) to add to the dataset listbox.
4. Select the Add this dataset to the designer checkbox and click OK.
Visual Studio generates the new dsCategories dataset class and the dsCategories.xsd schema that is added to Solution Explorer. An instance of the new dataset class (dsCategories1) is then added to the form.
Section 3.
=========================================================
Adding the SAP NetWeaver .NET Table and Binding It to The Data
1. From the SAP NetWeaver tab of the Toolbox, drag a Table control onto the portal component.
2. Right-click it to open the Properties box.
3. Set the DataSource property to dsCategories1.
4. Set the DataMember property to Categories.
Section 4.
=========================================================
Adding Code to Fill the Dataset and Display the Data
Although the table is bound to the dataset, the data is not displayed automatically. You must explicitly fill the dataset and bind the table to its data source.
To fill the dataset and display data in the Table control
1. Double-click the form to switch to Code Editor.
2. In the Page_Load event handler, call the data adapter's Fill method, passing it the dataset you want to fill:
[C#]
sqlDataAdapter1.Fill(dsCategories1);
[Visual Basic]
sqlDataAdapter1.Fill(dsCategories1)
3. Call the DataBind method of the Table control to bind it to the dataset:
[C#]
Table1.DataBind();
[Visual Basic]
Table1.DataBind()
4. Save your project.
Section 5.
=========================================================
Viewing the Component in the Portal
Deploy the PAR to the current portal.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the portal component and choose View in Portal.
The table with the list of categories is displayed in the browser.

navjot
reward accordingly

Connecting to MS SQL Server on UNIX/LINUX

Hello friends,
Is there a driver available to connect to MS SQL Server from a java application or servlet running on UNIX or Linux box?
Is there a way to create ODBC connection to it on UNIX?
Thank you!

Is there a driver available to connect to MS SQL Server from a java application or servlet running on UNIX or Linux box? Quite probably. Go here to find out:

Is there a way to create ODBC connection to it on UNIX?I've heard something about a Unix ODBC simulator, but I wouldn't bother with that. ODBC is not necessary in this situation.
