Converting SQL server database into SAP readable XML??

Could anyone kindly let me know what is the procedure to convert SQL server database into SAP readable (encrypted) XML for SAP Authoring tool???

Sorry you will need to be more specific, what is it exactly you want to do? What authoring tool do you mean.
A bit more info and someone might be able to help you.

Convert SQL server database into SAP readable (encrypted) XML for SAP tool?

Could anyone kindly let me know what is the procedure to convert SQL server database into SAP readable (encrypted) XML for SAP Authoring tool???

So If I understood it correctly there an existing propriertory question bank with SQL server. You are looking at an option to migrate all the tests and questions from the existing system to the LSO system. Right ?
I am still not clear on the xml conversion. Have you guys found a solution which could be achieved through a xml file ?
am not aware of a way through which you could import only a xml file and create tests/questions. If you have a sample xml file then forward me so that I could do some testing on my end.As per my knowledge you could do one of the following. I
1. Create the tests and questions manually in Authoring Environment. It will be a time consuming task. Based on the number of questions you have you might have to assemble a team of content developers to acheive this.
2. Alternatively, you could create a Adobe Flash based assessment. The Flash component would be the front-end and will read from a xml file to display the questions and to drive the funcationality. This would be a easier and less time consuming than creating the assessments manually in authoring environment. However, you might miss out some of the functionality available in the Test Author of Authoring Environment unless you have all the functionality replicated inside Flash. This would require one time effort in creating the Flash template and the xml file structure. Once that is created you could create multiple assessments by just replacing the xml file. If you select this approach then you would have to ensure the data from SQL is converted in the desired xml format required by your Flash component.
Please let me know if you require any further guidance or clarification regarding this.

Convert Sql server database into oracle

hi friends
i have a very smal database of sql server containing 8 tables
i want to convert my databse into oracle plz tell me in detail coz i dont know any thing about it.
plz help me
take care
bye

If the amount of data is small, you might look into Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS), which comes with SQL Server. This provides an easy to use GUI for mapping data between two sources.
A few warnings:
- If you let DTS create your Oracle tables, beware that that table / column names may be created as case-sensitive and data types may not be what you expect
- If you are transferring a lot of data (e.g. millions of rows), performance will be terrible.

How to import sql server database into oracle

Hi,
i have a backup of database(complete) from sql server, Is there any way to import that backup database into oracle environment.
Please let me know the process
Thanks
Naren$

No. You cannot simply import binary data files from a 3rd party database directly into Oracle.
You can use bcp on SQL-Server to unload the data to CSV and then use Oracle's SQL*Loader to load it.
You can run a SQL-Server database instance and an Oracle database instance, and use a heterogeneous database link from Oracle (working via ODBC) to connect to SQL-Server - and use SQL statements to pull object definitions and data from SQL-Server into Oracle.

How to convert sql server procedure in to plsql procedure

hi guys
i have requirement where in i have to convert sql server procedure into plsql procedure.
can some one help me out .
thanks,
Vamshi.D

Hi Vamshi,
As you want to convert sql server procedure in to plsql procedure
i.e SQL SERVER ->ORACLE Right
FYI
SQL SERVER Proc. Syntax are totally different as compared to ORACLE Proc.
So, better you study Logic of SQL-SERVER Proc and convert into
Oracle Procedure.

Converting SQL Server text field containing XML string to XI XML via JDBC

Hello
My client has a SQL Server database containing a field of type Text which contains an XML string e.g.
<DispatchJob> <DispatchDateTime>2003-09-29T13:29:15</DispatchDateTime> <AssignedFSE>F118</AssignedFSE> <DispatchJobPurchase> <DealerID>14C5</DealerID> <DateOfPurchase>1997-10-01T00:00:00</DateOfPurchase> </DispatchJob>
I am using JDBC to access this but could someone please recommend the best and easiest solution for converting this string to XI XML for subsequent mapping to BAPI or IDOC or ABAP Proxy and transmission to SAP. There are other fields as well in the database table so thoughts at the moment are to use a normal graphical message mapping followed by an XSL mapping. Will an XSL mapping be able to do this and if so is that the best solution?
Also I need to do the reverse of this and take fields coming from SAP via BAPI,IDOC etc. and convert them to a single database table field as an XML string also via the JDBC adapter. What is the best way to do this. Could it be done simply with functions in the graphical mapping e.g. concatenate?
Thank you in advance.
Trevor

Hi Michal
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I was anticipating XSLT for reading from the SQL Server database and converting the XML string.
But how would you convert the individual fields from SAP into a single field as an XML string for storing in the SQL Server database? What approach would you use?
Regards
Trevor

Try using the DTS (data transformation services) services of SQL Server 2000
DTS is based on an OLE DB architecture that allows you to copy and transform data from a variety of data sources. For example: Oracle directly, using native OLE DB providers.
Alternatively, you could follow the following broad steps for data migration (assuming you are retaining the same table structures in SQL Server, and that you are talking about SQL Server 2000).
1. Get the CREATE scripts corresponding to each Oracle table / view / index. These can be reverse engineered from the database using a tool.
2. Map Oracle datatypes to SQL server datatypes e.g: date maps to datetime/smalldatetime, numeric maps to one of int, bigint, smallint, etc depending on the range of values in the CREATE scripts.
3. Indexes in SQL Server are of two types: Clustered / non-clustered. There can only be one clustered index on each table.
4. Converting procedures and triggers will have to be line by line, since SQL Server uses a proprietary T-SQL instead of ORacle's PL/SQL
I have yet to see a really good tool to do this migration, but it is possible to write a PL/SQL procedure / Pro*C program to automate the script creation for creating tables in the SQL Server database.
For the actual data import into SQL Server, export the Oracle data table by table into flat files, and then use the import wizard of SQL Server enterprise manager

Connecting sql server database as source system into BW in unix/oracle

Hi
We have a requirement to extract the data from MS SQL server database as a source system into the BW3.0B instance, which is running under HP-UX/oracle.
We have been told that Microsoft does not supply a SQL Server driver for UNIX.
So in this case, we need to have a option to complete it.
Please let me know if some one has any similar type configuration existing.

In general, BI application servers can only be supported for DB Connect on operating system versions where a SAP Database Shared Library (DBSL) has been released for the BI database and the source database.
refer: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/58/54f9c1562d104c9465dabd816f3f24/frameset.htm for DB Connect supported DB's.

Converting microsoft sql server documents into portal items

Our customer currently has a number of documents
stored in a Microsoft SQL server database as an
'image' datatype.
They would like to programatically move all these documents from the sql server into the portal database and store them as portal items (we are using 9.0.2.6) Has anyone done something like this before?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Suzanne

The API documentation discusses the requirements for calling the APIs from an external environment. Assuming you will use a language like Java through JDBC, you just open connections to the two databases. The APIs are called just like any other stored procedure. You'll have to read the language-specific and database-specific documentation for instructions on handling LOBs e.g. the Oracle9i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference.

SAP ECC6.0 cannot connect to SQL Server Database after recreating DB server

We had a disaster with our ECC 6.0 Development system a few days ago. The system is called “DEV”. The SQL Server database server got wiped out and we didn’t have a backup. Luckily, we did have a backup of the database. Our system engineers rebuilt the server and our DBA reinstalled SQL Server and restored the database. The database came up fine, but when we try to start SAP, it fails. “R3trans –d” also fails. The database is SQL Server 2008R2 10.50.2769. The OS is Windows Server 2008R2.
We verified that the “devadm” and “SAPServiceDEV” accounts have permissions on the on the server. We set the following Environment Variables for the devadm account on the database server:
DBMS_TYPE = mss
MSSQL_DBNAME = DEV
MSSQL_SCHEMA = dev
MSSQL_SERVER = <database server name>
SAPLOCALHOST = <database server name>
SAPSYSTEMNAME = DEV
We also set the following Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/SAP/DEV
Type:     REG_SZ
Value:   AdmUser
String:   <database server name>\devadm
We didn’t install any kind of SAP software on the database server.
Is there any kind of SAP components we need to install on the database server? Do we need to run the SAP installer on the database server to get everything setup correctly? I looked at another one of our SQL Server database servers and it has SAP Management Console installed and there is a C:\Program Files\SAP\hostcntl folder. I don't know what that is or it has anything to do with SAP being able to connect to the database.
Here is the error message in the R3trans log file:

Connecting BO universes with SAP on a SQL server database

Hello,
The aim is to make a secured connection between a BusinessObjects universe and an SAP system that runs on a SQL server database.
We will have in the nearby future 1 SAP system for several customers (SAP in the clouds). For those customers we want to maintain their BusinessObjects connection with the SAP system as it is for the moment. This means that the customers who are working with their current BO system (5.1.6) connect for the moment between BusinessObjects and their local SAP system via the universe connection (Oracle driver and user). These customers should connect in the nearby future to a central SAP system and only be able to see the data of their own company (based on a client number). Iu2019m wondering if we could use the SAP-authorisation mechanism in order to do so. This would mean that we define an SAP user in SAP and that we define the same user in BusinessObjects and that there is a layer in between (cfr. The sap java connector) that allows a secure connection for a client to only its specific data (based on client number f.i.)
Can you tell me if there exists already a solution for this for BO 5.1.6 or what is the pre-requisite in order to do so. I know that the Best Practices of SAP-Bo use already this kind of mechanism but then we talk about BO XI 3.0 and ECC 6.0 linked via a Java Connector. Does there already exists something like that for the connection between an SAP system (on a SQL server database) and a BusinessObjects 5.1.6 system.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. And what about BO XI 3.0? What should we be using?
Ik have been using the SAP Java Connector but I'm wondering if there exists more user friendly (read easily adaptable) tools in order to provide a secure connection between SAP BO XI 3.0 and SAP ECC.
Many regards

Converting Access application after migrating SQL Server database

I have used migration workbench to migrate an access database and application. I now have sql server databases with access applications that need to be migrated. How can I convert the access applications that currently use sql server as a database? I don't see that migration workbench considers this combination.

If you have and Access/SQL Server combination. then download the SQL server plugin appropriate to your version of SQL server. Go ahead and migrate the SQL Server database to Oracle. Once this is done, then update your access application so your link tables point to your newly migrated Oracle database.
