DB13 and 3rd party tool support?

Hi Experts,
I came across SAP note 1048382 which says that 3rd party backup tools can be called from DB13. Does anybody have experience with that? What tools provide support for this integration?
Is there a way for reporting backup status info into CCMS/db13 if a tool doesn't support that?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Tristan

Hi,
Any 3rd party tool which uses backint utility to trigger backups, logs will be available in db14. You can also schedule backup jobs with such tools using db13 transaction code.
Hope this is useful.

Process Chains and 3rd party scheduling tools in 04s

All,
What, if any, 3rd party scheduling tools (Autosys, CTL-M, etc...) deliver certified connectivity with 04s BW? I've had some experience with 3.x in prior lives in having to support a custom abap pgm to submit and monitor process chains via SM37. Has the integration with 3rd party tools changed? If we need to connect with a 3rd party tool, is a custom 'wrapper pgm' still required?
Thanks,

Hi Lonnie,
SAP NetWeaver 2004s comes with the external scheduling tool Redwood Cronacle included. In the next release it will be integral part of the NetWeaver system.
Please check the SAP Service Marketplace for further information

OLAP Services and Infobus -- can they work to interface with 3rd party tools?

I would like to link 9i OLAP data to 3rd party tools like Formula One or other Java Report Writers. Can this be done using infobus or other technologies? Does 9i OLAP services act as an infobus data provider?
Has anyone done this? If so can an example be provided?
Thanks

Thanks InfoBus is a Java standard for dynamic data interchange. The Oracle9i OLAP API does not act as an InfoBusDataProvider. It's compatible but not supported. Also, InfoBus has been determined not well suited for multidimensionality.
BI Beans actually has some code in its Query object to act as an InfoBusDataProvider, but it is hidden due to inadequate testing and review, plus there is a perception that there is a lack of strong interest in this feature.
So the short answer is that OLAP API and BI Beans do not provide InfoBus support. If there is a public outcry for InfoBus support, Oracle OLAP would consider it as a feature for a future release.
As for another technology to link Oracle9i OLAP data to 3rd party tools like Formula One or other Java Report Writers, I'll look into it and report back.

Which 3rd party tools can support Open Hub Destination?

Hi BI experts,
In the Open Hub Destination Type, I have a choice between Database Table, File or Third Party Tool. From what I read from SAP documentation, the Third Party Tool which is supported is Ascential. Apart from Ascential, what are other 3rd party Tools can Open Hub Destination link up to ?
Can Microsoft BI be linked up?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Yes, SSIS can be used with Open hub.

Any 3rd party tools to convert FORMS to XML and back?

The Oracle conversion tool that comes with 10g Forms gives errors.
I was wondering whether there any any 3rd party tools?
I searched to net with no success.
I bumped into one site which gave these 2: FormGreg or FormsTool (http://www.orcl-toolbox.com/formstool.asp).
FormGreg is not available (I Googled but no success) and FormsTool (I downloaded and installed) has no XML conversion tools.

Hi,
Thanks so much for replying. I posted the errors here (no answers though):
XML to Forms conversion gives error for menus

Are there any 3rd party tools which provide Microsoft Azure IaaS diagnostics?

Are there any 3rd party tools currently, which can be used for giving detailed diagnostics Information about the IaaS environment (like on VM's, Virtual Network etc.) in a detailed report format periodically? Please note that I am looking for any such tools
around IaaS environment diagnostics here, and not about Application diagnostics.

Hi Bahree,
Microsoft does not suggest a specific third-party product. However, we do use them, and see lots of other customers use them.
Paraleap: Monitoring tool - http://www.paraleap.com/AzureWatch , You may browse to these site and few others to learn more, and chat with their folks directly on how they support Windows Azure.
I see that Microsoft has published a self-help diagnostic package for running Windows-based virtual machines (VMs) in Azure IaaS and this this diagnostic package does not require opening a Support Request with
Microsoft
This package helps to diagnose and resolve common issues on running Windows-based VMs in Azure IaaS
We may download the diagnostic package from Microsoft's Support Diagnostics Self-Help Portal:
https://home.diagnostics.support.microsoft.com/SelfHelp?knowledgebaseArticleFilter=2976864

Infospoke - 3rd party tool not setting request to G (successful )

Hi,
Anyone of you had experience of this issue before? I have an infospoke that loads data to the DB table. A 3rd party tool ( Datastage) extracts the data from the table. Everything works as expected, BW sends notification to 3rd party tool that data is ready for extraction. 3rd party tool extracts the data successfully, but the problem is that the request is not set to G (successful). The people working on Datastage said that their system issued a message to BW that extraction is successful but it seems BW did not accept/receive it. So although the data has been successfully extracted to the 3rd party tool, the request is still set to N (new) and not G. No errors are issued.
Below is the Infospoke Message run:
1. Extraction is running
2. Extraction running in background process BW_OH19802
3. Data Package 1
4. Send message to DATASTG
5. Message from DATASTG confirmed
6. The extraction ended successfully
7. Data is being read: Open hub destination DW1234
8. Finished reading data: Open hub destination DW1234
In this issue, the log should have:
9. Datastage job completed successfully (status set to G)
10. Status for request 154,567 was set to G.
But the infospoke only run up to 8. The catch here is that this doesnt happen consistently. Sometimes the infospoke status is correctly set. but sometimes it's not.
Any ideas what cause this problem? Will really appreciate any inputs.

Hi,
The Thirdy party tool (in this case datastage) is responsible for setting the status to G in the table RSBREQUID3RD. If this does not
happen then normally the problem is with the Third party tool and often with the RFC communication. However there is an known issue on the
BI side as explained in the note 1243168, if this is relevant for your BI support package level please apply the note and check if the problem
still exists.

Des.

3rd party tool for online EDB repair & live mailbox move - Exchange 2007

Please advise a 3rd party tool, a reliable one that can do live mailbox migrations in Exchange 2007 from a corrupted DB to a new fresh DB?
Also a tool that can do live repair of the DB.
The corrupted DB is mounted but users are facing many issues and the application logs are throwing the below error:
MSExchangeIS (920) DB001: Database F:\Exchange Server\Mailbox\DB001.edb: Index FidDeleteTimeIndex of table IndexAge is corrupted (0).
An error occurred on database "DB001\DB001". Function name or description of problem: Restrict/SetSearchCriteria Error: -1414 Warning: fail to apply search optimization to folder (FID 4-DBC987) Retrying without optimization.

Hi,
As additional, the reason for this Event ID is that this message is logged when the Query Processor (QP) tries to use an index to perform a query optimization but, at the same time, that index was updated by a concurrent transaction. In this situation the
QP will just abandon the optimized path and revert to the default search algorithm.
Basis on my research and knowledge, this warning is not indicative of a serious problem and can be ignored. Response he warning can be safely ignored, but for preventive measures it is recommended To run Isinteg -s <server name> -fix -test alltest
on the store where we are getting these warnings. More details about Isinteg, for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125144%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Note: We recommend that you should back up your Exchange mailbox database before you run the tool.

How to resolve: 3rd party tool work for nvarchar only

I have following settings in my database:
select * from nls_database_parameters
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     AL16UTF16
NLS_CHARACTERSET     AL32UTF8
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION     11.1.0.6.0
...as you can see from above, varchar is support unicode too and database is working fine for most of application connect to my database, they store and display foreign characters correctly.
However, I got a 3rd party tool, when it export from my database, all foreign character were not able to display correctly until I tried change one of column to nvarchar.
so, seems this tool only work correctly for utf-8 when the data type is nvarchar. but I do not want to change all of varchar columns to nvarchar.
is there anyway to resolved this situation?
Thanks

>
OK. Some follow up questions:
1. The character you test is both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. The data you want to see in the result is Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese or all of Unicode?
>
For this test, The character I tested is Simplified Chinese. obviously, I want the result is Simplified Chinese too --I want to see the result same as I have in the database.
However, I do not want it limit to support only either Traditional or Simplified. it should support both, and more, it should support other languages. since others tool such as sql developer support.
>
2. What editor do you use to view the txt file?

Windows notepad (on windows XP)
>
3. What is your OS code page? Look in Registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP

1252
>
4. Do you have a hex-mode capable editor or viewer where you could see the contents of the txt file in hex? The character that I see pasted on the forum is Control-Z (0x1a), which is basically MS-DOS end-of-file character.
>
yes you are right, I got 0x1A too. I use Hex Editor XVI32. -- this is not what I want see. even worse, no matter what character, it always give me 0x1A. and number of "0x1A" is same as the number of characters.

Service desk integration with 3rd party tool

Hi all,
I've problems understanding the setup of connecting a 3rd party service desk tool with solman itsm.
So far it's clear that I need to activate and configure the service provider and consumer in soamanager.
The webservice then will be called by the 3rd party tool with corresponding data.
However, according to spro I need to define a value mapping for incoming/outgoing calls.
I do not understand this mapping... the WSDL of webservice ICT_SERVICE_DESK_API contains lots of fields, but in spro -> value mapping I can only define the following fields (which are hard coded in type pool AIICT):
SAPCategory
SAPComponent
SAPDatabase
SAPFrontend
SAPIncidentID
SAPIncidentStatus
SAPInstNo
SAPOperatingSystem
SAPSoftwareComponent
SAPSoftwareComponentPatch
SAPSoftwareComponentRelease
SAPSubject
SAPSystemClient
SAPSystemID
SAPSystemType
SAPUserStatus
What about attachments, priority etc.?
Will the interface parameters mapped to these ones?
For what purpose do I need to maintain the value mapping?
Can you give me a hint?

Open Hub 3rd party tool - API not returning data table

I am implementing a 3rd party tool to get data from BI using the Open Hub Service.
I have my server running and the API functions are working somewhat, but I have two problems.
When I get notified by BI (RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY), the REQUESTID field is always 0. Why? This should be the request id of the Data Transfer Process; I can see this id in BI.
The second problem is when I make the call to read the data (I hard code the request ID), everything comes back fine, except the table is empty. I know it's not empty because the DTP said it create a table with many rows and I can see them in BI. Why is the table empty?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Tim
PS: I'm using SAP JCo to implmenet the server and the API. And I'm using BI 7.0.
Edited by: Tim Wise on May 17, 2008 4:58 PM

I am not sure I should continue: I am not an expert with the use of these API - in fact I have never used them:-)
This is in case the discussion would help you:
My understanding is that the 'green' status is the status of the 3rd party tool. Only when the 3rd party sets a 'green' status will extraction proceed. The third-party can choose to stop extraction by setting a 'red' status.
See the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/8dea54c4e273e2e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
Guess all these APIs are geared for automatic processing - another link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/59/90070982d5524b931ae16d613ac04a/content.htm
RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY: This function module has no source code - the code needs to be implemented in the 3rd party tool to do whatever is required with the parameters provided. The import parameters required have to be supplied to it.
That's it, I am retiring:-)

TNS-12154...3rd Party tools won't connect to 9.2iEE

Platform:
Pentium 4 2.4GHz
Windows 2000 (SP2)
Oracle 9iEE 9.2
OWB 9.2
Quest Software Data Dictionary for Oracle
Other 3rd party tools accessing Oracle RDBMS
We have installed Oracle 9iEE, and OWB 9.2. OWB Client and Server components have been installed into their own 'oracle_home' directories. All software is installed on the one machine.
We have also installed Quest Software Data Dictionary for Oracle on the machine.
We have found 2 TNSNAMES.ORA files on the machine....one for the database itself, and the other in the OWB Client 'Oracle home'
The OWB client connects with the database ok, but the Quest software and other 3rd party tools come back with the error of TNS-12154. 3rd party tools were ok while we had 9iPE installed. But have stopped connecting with the oracle database since the installation of 9iEE and OWB, and come up with the TNS-12154 error each time we try.
We have 3 'Home' entries in the Registry under HKEY_LOCALMACHINE>SOFTWARE>ORACLE. One for 9iEE, and 2 others each for the OWB Server & Client.

THE NEW INSTANCE STATUS COME UP AS READY, UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS STATUS OF UNKNOWN!
My guess is the 2 TNSNAMES.ORA files on the machine, and the contents of the Registry 'Home' entries are causing the issues. But I'm not sure of what actions to take, and why initially the service instances come up as 'UKNOWN', and then the other 2 appear as 'READY'. ora92ee.mydomain has 2 instances of the service....baffling.
Is it to do with installing 9iEE on a single machine, rather than a Client/Server environment?
Any ideas upon how we can get our 3rd party tools to successfully connect to the Oracle database again will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Interfacing to 3rd Party tools from BW

I realize Open Hub is the SAP solution to interfacing BW data to 3rd Party tools.
However does anyone see a problem in general with the approach of developing custom web services on the BW box that would be called by a third party tool and in turn return Master Data and ODS objects?
Wardell

Hi
You can also use direct SQL reads to the BA DB (for ODS only), Also ABAP code.
If you want to manipulate the data (transactional and Master data) you can use BAPI functionality.
In our company we used BAPI to manipulate SD data from a third party tool (Web based) but not on BW.

Album art download spotty at best, what best 3rd party tool works well?

I have hundreds of Gb of music and probably 40% of that - no cover art. Running this feature in iTunes does nothing - comes up telling me I have over 5,000 album art covers not able tgo be downloaded. Tried various other 3rd party tools, not that many work well.
Can anyone recommend one that works well? I'm not sure why this feature works so unreliably. I can find most of these albums on Amazon and can apply the art manually. It should use some kind of fuzzy logic to guestimate the darn title and bring it down I would think.
Thanks
