DB Connect from BW on Oracle to MS SQL Server 2005

Hello,
I am having issues replicating Meta-Data from SQL server databases via DBCONNECT to SAP BW.
For instance we have the CCM DB and the Siebel DB. We can transfer meta-data from CCM with no problem (SQL Server 2000) but we cannot transfer meta-data from Siebel (SQL Server2005).
Our SAP BW is system is on an Oracle database.
CCM is on OS Win 2003. SQL 2000 SP4.
Siebel is on Win 2003 Server Enterprise 5.2 and SQL Server 2005 SP2.
I already have the dbsl for SQL server installed in the BW system. When I do a Connection Check of the source systems in RSA1, it says "Source system connection OK".
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi,
I don't think the 32 vs. 64 bit is the issue. Have you tried checking OSS note: 512739. It describes the prerequisites for accessing MS SQLServer via DB Connect. Normally problems occurs due to unsupported data types being used in SQLServer - in such cases you have to create views in the source system and then use these views instead of the actual database tables. In the view you can perform the necessary data type conversion.

Oracle 10g to sql server 2005 - how to setup

Hi,
I have been searching on how to setup a connection from oracle 10g to sql server 2005 and i have to admit i am struggling a bit.
I have read about Heterogeneous Services and Database Gateway but we really dont want to fork for licence fees so it looks like i have to investigate HS.
My environment is:
10gR2 Linux 32 bit
SQL Server 2005 32bit.
Would someone be able to provide me with a list of steps to help me get this setup?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you don't want to pay for any licence fees then you will have to use the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) which is included in your RDBMS license.
You need to use the 11g versions because all previous gateway versions have been desupported for some time. The latest version is 11.2.0.3 which can be downloaded from My Oracle Support as -
Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER
and download -
p10404530_112030_platform_5of7.zip
- this is the Gateway media pack and has everything needed for a standalone gateway install.
This version is certified the following RDBMS versions - 10.1.0.5 + RDBMS patch 5965763, 10.2.0.3 + RDBMS patch 5965763, 10.2.0.4, 10.2.0.5, all 11.1 versions, all 11.2 versions.
You have 2 choices about where you can install it and it would be better to install the gateway into a new and separate ORACLE_HOME from any existing Oracle installs -
1. On the Linux 32-bit platform where the RDBMS is running. If you install it here you will need to supply a third party ODBC driver. The only free one I am aware of is from FreeTDS but there may be others. There can be problems with the FreeTDS so another one may be preferable but these usually require a license fee.
See this note in My Oracle Support -
How to Configure DG4ODBC on Linux x86 32bit or on HP-UX RISC (DG4ODBC 11.1 only) to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases post install (Doc ID 466228.1)
2. Install DG4ODBC on the Windows platform where SQL*Server is running. If you install on Windows then you will be able to use the Microsoft SQL*Server ODBC driver which should already be installed. See this note on My Oracle Support -
How to Setup DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit (Doc ID 466225.1)
If you don't have access to My Oracle Support you will need to contact someone in your organisation to access the notes for you or review the gateway documentation -

Comparing Oracle and MS SQL Server 2005

Hi!
I'm looking for documents which compare
features, price etc og the database and database related development-projects
I'm looking for resources that describe the terminology used of MS and Oracle for their db's.
I'm also looking for "Feuerstein"-best-practices in MS-world.
And at last I'm looking for simple and complex scenarios comparing performance/features of these db's.
And if possible, I want them from some "independent" sources...
Can anyone help?
Best regards
Bjorn Dorr Jensen

Hi Hans!
I think it would not be fair comparing Oracle 10g with SQL Server 2000.
So thats why I'm looking for comparison with SQL Server 2005,
but if you have something that compare Oracle 11 with SQL Server 2005,
let me hear about it :-)
The objective:
well, the last 2 years I worked with Oracle DB (tuning, pl/sql) in an serious manner.
and now I have to work with SQL Server (which I didn't work with the last 2 years),
so I'm interested in the differences.
For now it seems that many SQL Server features are primitive compared with Oracle, but Microsofts usability is much better.
O1.) But is it really more primitive or are I'm missing the nessessary experience with SQL Server? Thats some of the points I want to find out.
O2.) Analyzing our own requirements for features: when would it be better to use Oracle and when to use MS? How to make this measure-able?
Could one make an descision tree like:
when more than x users/day and clustering needed and db_size>y....
O3.) Should I promote in an environment with people only using MS-products,
promote the use of Oracle-DB? When will this be an good idea?
(I don't think it will be an good idea the other way around: moving from Oracle to MS SQL Server - or would it ;^)

Integrate Oracle IDM with Sql Server 2005

Hi Guys,
We maintain the employees information in Oracle IDM and we want to integrate Oracle IDM with Sql server 2005.
how we can this.

The DB connector?
The 9.0.1.4 version supports SQL server 2005.
The latest version of the GTC db connector might also work.

Transfer data from Oracle 7 to SQL server 2005

Hello guys,
I am new in Oracle and I need some help from you:
I have an Oracle database 7 and I need to transfer some tables into MS SQL Server 2005.
Is there any ORACLE utility (compatible with ver 7) to help me in this task?
If not, what is the way to trasfer data from a Oracle database 7 to SQL Server 2005?
Thank in advance

SQL Server can access Oracle database via the Linked Database feature however I do not know if you could find a Oracle 7 database compatiable Oracle client to use with a SQL Server 2005 database. i would not even try to configure this.
What I suggest is you use SQLPlus to spool out delimited data into flat files, copy/FTP etc ... those flat files to your SQL Server box, and use BCP to load the data into SQL Server.
There have been numberous posts of generating delimited flat files from Oracle data posted here on the forum but here is one method that will work on version 7:
How do I export a database table to a flat file ?

Transfer data from 2 oracle version to sql server 2005

Hi,
I have two database servers on different machines. They are
1) Oracle 8.1.7.4
2) Oracle 7.3.1.4
I have to create agents which can transfer tables from these two databases to one machine having sql server 2005 database.
Please tell me what are the options. What drivers i need to install on machine having sql server 2005 so that i can transfer data from both oracle versions.
Thanks
Rajneesh.

You could create a linked server. Install the Oracle client on the server with SQL Server 2005, setup the TNS to your Oracle databases, create the linked server and then grab the data that way. There are migration tools as well but if the database is small in size I found linked servers to work and give me better control over the migration. This assumes that the database is not very large. If it is really large a migration tool might be a better option.

Hi Steve,
in Installation guide there is no explicit line that explain "DDL replication is not supported for SQL Server."
but now i know, thanks for that.
i have another question, so DDL replication only support between the same database like Oracle to Oracle, SQL Server to SQL Server etc. ?

Oracle .dmp to SQL Server 2005

I am trying to import an Oracle .dmp database into SQL Server 2005, what would you suggest as the fastest and easiest way to do this? DTS/SSIS doesn't have an instant solution and the script I tried to use gave me an error...
Msg 3241, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
The media family on device '<DATABASE>' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I would like a GUI based way to do this if at all possible. Thanks

I don't believe that the earlier responder was saying that SSIS could work with .DMP files. I think he was saying "use SSIS to transfer data from your Oracle database to SQL Server instead of trying to use .DMP files at all."

Connecting BI 7.0 SR2 with MS SQL Server 2005

Dear SAP Gurus,
We have a scenario to connect an External Database MS SQL Server 2005 with BI 70 SR2 Server.
The platform details are as follows :-
BI 7.0 SR2
Oracle 10.0.2.8 Database
AIX 5.3
When we were on an older platform BW 3.5 we had installed an Windows Application Server for connecting to SQL Server.
I was told that in the latest system BI 7.0 it is possible to connect to SQL Server via AIX.
Now when i raised a message to SAP , they tell me that it is necesary to have an Windows Application Server.
If any one has connected an BI 7.0 on AIX to MS SQL Server 2005 , Please let me know.
Regards,
Ashish .A. Poojary

Hello Ashish,
U can connect BI 7 to SQL using UD Connect even they are running on different operating system.

How do you compare Oracle 10G with SQL Server 2005?

exept for performance and pricing...
We haven't decide to upgrade SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 or buy more license for Oracle 10G...
Any comments are welcome!

OK I only came here because of APC's referral down the piece (I was curious where all the hits came from - cheers Andrew). Comments embedded anyway
Thanks Gaff!
* Staff Experience with product - how flexible is
your staff?
--Staff need to learn sth. new...:)That's a fair motivation if recruitment and retention of staff is an issue - if you want reliability giving business systems to people who don't know the tech is a rather foolish move.
* Current product use Corporation/group - if you have
15 SQL Server boxes and no Oracle, what is the
impetus for change? Same if you have 15 Oracle boxes
and no SQL Server ones.
--80% SQL server and 20% Oracle. We are thinking to
balance to 50%-50%.I'm curious as to the reasoning behind this? I don't really see what the benefit is.
* Features - Do you want/need text handling
capabilities? Data mining? Storage of non-text
records? XML?
--I think both of DB system can do these.They can
* Scalability - Is one Windows box going to meet your
needs or do you need to scale (now or eventually) to
multiple boxes of multiple CPUs?
--This is really a benefit feature of Oracle better
than SQL Server.SQLServer scales - it just scales in a different way (federated databases vs RAC).
Thank u for ur US$.02Are you evaluating the platform for an in-house development or a database neutral application - if the latter I'd be sorely tempted to find out what the development platform is or read the docs for clues. For example we are looking at a product that supports SQLServer,MSDE and Oracle. In the FAQ "how do I choose between SQLServer and MSDE?", if we do implement it will be on an MS platform.
I consider this probably the most crucial factor since SQLServer and Oracle have different architectural features they tend to generate different development approaches - porting one to the other nearly always hurts the new platform. Plus if I need support I'd be hoping that I got a bug fix from a developer and not from a developer whose fix was then ported.
The same applies to in-house dev obviously, but there at least you can hire people with the right skillset for the app development.

Moving table from oracle 10g to sql server 2005 plz help!!!

Hi All,
I have a table in oracle that i have to move to sql server.
I have exported the table and the dmp file is around 150 MB.
I do not know how to import this file into sql server.
Can some one kindly update me as to which is the best way to do this,
i know the best people to answer this would be the sql server techs but just wanted to try my luck on OTN.
regards,

Hello,
you could use the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server, create a database link that uses the gateway, and then transfer the data from Oracle to SQL Server using in SQLPlus a command like the following:
copy from scott/tiger@ora102 -
insert TEST1@dg4msql -
using select * from test1@ora102 ;
Another solution is using a PL/SQL block, and how to do it is described in the following note in My Oracle Support:
"Insert Into Remote Table Select * From Local Table" Gives Error ORA-02025 Using DG4MSQL (Doc ID 790572.1)
I don't know whether it is the "best way to do it", but it is an alternative.
For inserting a flat file into SQL Server you really need to check with Microsoft. Or you can use 3rd party software: http://www.dbload.com/

Migrating data from Oracle 9i to SQL Server 2005

I am new to both. I need to first migrate data from oracle to sql server. After this I need to create a daily nightly batch process to insert new records from oracle to sql server into that table.
As my knowledge in SQL server is zero. Can somebody help me how I can accomplish this.
Somebody told me that I can use sql server import/export to do initial data dump into sql server and after that I can create a link in in oracle to do new iserts for new records. does any one have some example on this. I will really apprecite this if someone can give me step by step example. Thanks

I have been to SQL Server training, but my SQL server databases are off the shelf system, so I don't have to muck with them. Anyway, Sql Server is just MS Access on steroids, so some of the same concepts apply. You need to create an external table links to oracle. The following tidbits I found by googling might help you.

Get an image from a varbinary field in an SQL Server 2005 database

Hi:
In a varbinary(MAX) field of an SQL Server 2005 database I
storage JPG images. I design a webservice that returns the
following XML structure:
Public Class IMAGEN
Public ErrorConsulta As Long
Public Imagen As Byte()
End Class
The response look like this:
<FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResponse>
<FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResult>
<IMAGEN>
<ErrorConsulta>0</ErrorConsulta>
<Imagen>/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGBQgH....</Imagen>
</IMAGEN>
</FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResult>
</FLEXOBTENERIMAGENResponse>
Where the node Imagen are thousands of caracters that
represents the JPG image.
How can I show this JPG in an Image control of a Flex Builder
2 or 3?
If you need more information please let me know.
Thanx in advance.

Assuming that you have text fields storing the Y N then on
the output you
have a code block like this
<%
If recordset.fields.item("wheelchair").value = "Y" then
%>
<img src="images/wheelchair.gif">
<%End if%>
However is your field is set to be a Yes/No type then the
best way is to
write the test like this
If recordset.fields.item("wheelchair").value = TRUE then
