Create JDBC System in EP

Dear All,
I am using EP 7.0 SP6.
We encountered a problem in creating a jdbc system for us to configure a jdbc stored procedure iView in EP.
Here is what we have done:
1 - In System administration> System Configuration, create a new system (from template)
2 - Select 'jdbc system'
3 - Provide the system name etc
4 - Provide the jdbc driver url etc information. The jdbc driver is already deployed on the J2EE engine via Visual administrator and tested to be ok
5 - We provided valid username/password via user mapping
However the creation fail and here the error message on EP screen:
=============================================
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the backend application using the connector defined in this system object
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.
================================================
Thanks.
Kelvin

Hi KL, jdbc system doesn't have any other mistery...
May be the drivers that you are using aren't the propers.
for SQL:com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
and URL: jdbc:sap:sqlserver://servername:port;DatabaseName=PruebaPortal
for ORACLE:com.sap.portals.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
and URL:jdbc:sap:oracle://servername:port:1527;SID=PruebaPortal

Creating jdbc System based Query iView

Hello SDN,
I tried to create a Query-iView based on a jdbc system. So far so good everythings working fine, except in Step 3 of the iView wizard i can't see all dbo Tables of the MS sQL Server 2000 Database i wanna connect to. Actually i get the first 100 Table entries.
Question is: Is there any way to to show all the table entries in the iView wizard?
Every hint is appreciated
Portal Version is NW2005 SPS15
Thanks in advance
Markus

Hi Saravanan,
we are facing the same problem but unfortunately there is no search field in step3 of the iView wizard, and therefore it seems to me that there is no opportunity to select a table that is not included in the first 100 Table entries.
Of course I could develope an iView by myself and deploy it to the portal, but the goal of a query iView is in my understanding to create such a ResultSet quite easily.
Is there any other way i could show all the tables in the wizard?
Thanks.

How to create a JDBC system

Hi,
I am currently trying to create a JDBC system, but i always get an error trying to test the connection.
I am running Portal EP7 patch12 on Oracle. I am trying to access a custom table on the oracle portal database.
I created a datasouces in the visual admin and it works great when i do my test.
Does anyone have a step by step procedure to create a JDBC in the portal, that would be great.
Thanks
Jean

I got my connection running successfully. Here is what i did:
I am trying to connect to an Oracle 10.2 db, using Portal NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) patch 14.
1)
- Create JDBC system from template
- Connection timeout=10000 (optional)
- URL=jdbc:sap:oracle://<server>:<port>;sid=<YourSID>;
- Driver Class Name=com.sap.portals.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
- User Mapping Type = Admin, user
2) Create an alias i.e. testconnection
2) Select permissions and assign the everyone group to your connection, don't forget to check the end user box
3) User Mapping: Map your everyone group to a user that have access to the DB.
Test your connection.
Please note that this is only to see if your connection is working, in a Prod environment increase your security.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Problem in Creating a JDBC System - SQL Server

Hi All
I failed in creating a JDBC System(SQL Server). I am using SAP EP 7.0 SP 9. I tried to create the JDBC system with the following properties:
I am listing them Category wise:
Connection Properties:
1. Connection Timeout: 300
2. Connection URL: jdbc:sap.sqlserver://<server name> : <port name>; DatabaseName=master
3. Driver Class Name: com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
4. Validate Connection: Yes
UserManagement Properties:
5. User Mapping Type: admin;user
Please help me out in making this work. And let me know if any changes to incorporated.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi vijay,
I have tried this thing sometime back. But when i create a JDBC system, I never give the Connection Timeout and change the Validate Connection from No to Yes. I just give the Connection URL and the Driver Class Name in the Connection Properties dropdown.
Try making these changes and check whether the user mapping is done correctly. Also check whether the Connection URL and the Driver Class Name are correct or not. Have a look at the following link:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/VC/JDBC%2bConnection%2bSetup">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/VC/JDBC%2bConnection%2bSetup</a>
Let me know if this works.
Bye

Problem in creating a JDBC System on VC7.1 portal ( CE7.1 SP3)

I have a problem in creating a JDBC System on VC7.1 portal (CE7.1 SP3)
I get the following error:
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the back-end application using the connector defined in this system object
Results
Default alias retrieved successfully
Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.
Could you please let me know if there are any guides on SAP Library; I was not able to find any documentation nor any threads discussing this on VC7.1
Although, I saw this thread Can Visual Composer talk to/connect to any Database?..
which says that VC7.1 can connect to SAP backend
and web services only, and there is no direct connection to the db.
Help needed please.

Hi Dharmi
Here is a quote of Dafna's post in [another thread in this forum|Re: Copy VC controls]
CE7.1.1 will be released at September 2008 for ramp-up customers.
There are many improvements and new capabilities in the new release of Visual Composer for CE7.1.1. Among the new features you can find:
The missing features from Visual Composer 7.0 (Html view, portal Eventing support (EPCM), JDBC, Undo/Redo, and more..)
Many layout & modeling improvements
Additional ALV table functionality - export to Excel, switch to chart, configure ALV behavior at design time
Integration of Visual Composer in Eclipse - additional entry point to the Visual Composer models from the NWDS. This integration provides the option to add a WD component (in case of missing functionality in Visual Composer), as a black box component to the Visual Composer model. Right-clicking the component will open the Web Dynpro perspective for creating/modifying the component.

Shai

How to Create a system in portal server

I am trying to do the tutorial: How to Create a JDBC-based iView for Add/Update/Delete Record.
Its pre-requisite is: A system with an alias JDBC defined on your portal server, and mapped to a database.
Since I am new to VC, I do not know how to create a system, and I also do not know how to access the portal server.
Please help...

Hi Makarand,
Do you have any one who has the access to portal with administrator rights. I am hereby sending you the steps on how to create a system.
To define a system:
1. Create a new system; define all its properties
2. Create a default system alias.
3. Create a user mapping (from the user you use in VC) to the system alias, using the user\password to the backend system.
4. TEST the connection in the portal. If the test succeeds, it should be visible in VC discovery panel.
VC retrieves the systems via the portal.
You have to define the systems or use the defined systems in the portal you are connected.
To define systems in the portal:
System Administration => system configuration => system landscape:
in the PCD: right click on a folder and Add new system.
Then you have to define all the mandatory properties: Connector / Was / User management ...
dont forget to map your portal user with an R3/JDBC user...
thank you very much.

How to use a portal jdbc system to delete or insert by IExecution.execute

hi everyone:
I create a jdbc system in portal. Then I use following codes to query a table
IQuery query = client.newQuery();
query.execute("SELECT * FROM [Categories]");
It is fine.
Now, I wanna do insert or delete operation. I can't use the IQuery object. I think it is only for query and it is Deprecated. I find there is a method: IExecution.execute(IOperation). But I don't know how to use that method. Can I insert/delete records using that method? The last question is how to control the sql transaction by that IExecution object.
thanks
elliot

Hi,
I followed the interface framework to complete a query.
The code is shown under
How to Modify DB Records Using JDBC Connector FrameWork
But I got this exception and I don't know how to go further:

JDBC System For MS Access

Hi,
I want to create a system object in portal which will access MS Access database which is on my PC. Can anybody tell me what should I give in system properties:
Connection URL and
Driver Class Name
I am using EP7.0 (Netweaver 2004s SPS10).
Cheers
Jayant

Hi,
You can use the JDBC ODBC driver which is of type 1 driver to access the MS Access from Java. This driver is already present in your JRE, so the dirver is
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2000-09/03-qa-0922-access.html
But using this method needs configuration of ODBC datasource on your PC where access is installed.
http://www.anticlue.net/archives/000617.htm
So the connection URL from above article will be:
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Northwind"

Create BI system in NW 2004s Portal system

Hi,
We have BI 7.0 and NW 2004s Portal systems in place. We tried to integrate BI system in Portals. I followed the same exact steps provided in help.sap.com. I think they are not clearly mentioned for 2004s version.
while we try to create systems, we are seeing 4 types of connecters like
BI JDBC System
BI ODBO-Compliant OLAP System
BI SAP Query System
BI XMLA-Compliant OLAP System
Here our main intention is to enable SAP delivered BI reports in Portals.
Is it not like the previous versions, where we used to give path and WAS parameters and you are good to go.
Here I am not trying to use Visual composer, Microsoft products or any XML based systems. What we can do to enable reports, do we have to use BI SAP Query system? What parameters to include and info like that. Is there a document or while paper which provide these details??
Any help is highly appreciated.
Advanced Thanks to You all
Murthy

Goutam,
I am not looking for the type of connectors info on help, we are done with help.sap.com, You can see in my question, I already mentioned type of connectors.
My question is how you enable BW reports - lets say for example reports delivered in standard business packages.
for that You need to create system right??
How you create BI system in Portals
      - when I tried to create a system in portals, it is giving four type of connectors - which one to select to enable standard delivered content. I tried all 4 connectors, there is anywhere i was aksed to insert the path something like sap/bw/bex like that.
If somebody have some doc, please send it to me: [email protected]
If you have any document or any white paper that would be great.

JDBC System Connection VS BI JDBC System Connection

Hi All,
I've created a BI JDBC System which connects to the MS SQL Server 2005, and the connection tested successfully. I am now able to browse for tables.
But I need to access stored procedure as well, so i created a JDBC System with the same Database URL, Driver Class Name, and User Mapping. But i failed the connection test with the error:
com.sap.guimachine.portalconnector.commandhandler.CommandException: Failed to connect to backend system. Check your system definition and user privileges.#
Any idea?
Thanks & Regards,

JDBC system to MS SQL server.

Hi.
I am trying to create a connection to a MS SQL server using a JDBC system.
I have downloaded the jar files for the MS SQL driver and created a new driver in VA under the jdbc connector service.
How do I add this driver to the JDBCFactory class (com.sapportals.connectors.database)?
When I try to add the newly created driver libary to the loader references under the Resources tab it does not save the entry.
Rodney

Hi,
To add new JDBC Drivers, check this:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/80/4f34c587f05048adee640f4c346417/frameset.htm
Once your JDBC driver is added you should define it:

How to Create a system for connecting to mysql 5.0 in VC

Hi
 I am new to SAP. I am working with SAP Netweaver 7 J2EE Version and Visual Composer. I defined systems in SAP EP but i am getting SSO error.
I need to connect to Mysql 5.0 database. I have to access that database in Visual Composer.
Please help me for creating a system and Solving the SSO error.
Any flash presentations or links or materials .. please provide me the link..
Thanks
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
You have to create and configure your system in the system administration tab in the portal.
Usually, it looks like the following:
System from template: JDBC System
Connector properties
 Connection URL: jdbc:sap:sqlserver://<serverlocation>;DatabaseName=<database name>
 Driver class name: com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
User management properties
 User mapping type: admin, user
Set the system with an alias.
Go to user administration tab and map the user with VCRole to the configured system
(the default for MSSQL is usauly user: sa and pw: admin)
Save your changes and logon to VC with this user.
The alias name should appear in your list of systems.
Hope I helped,
Shay
