How to connect from SAP on DB2 for i5/OS to external oracle database

Hello,
I managed to retrieve data from an external DB2 for i5/OS database using ABAP Native SQL running on another i5/OS server.
I also managed to retrieve data from an external oracle database using ABAP Native SQL running on another Windows/Oracle server.
Now i want to use ABAP Native SQL running on an i5/OS and retrieve data from an external Oracle database?
I suppose i need software to connect fron I5/OS to this oracle database like you need extra software when you want to connect to an i5/OS database if you are running SAP on Windows (read note 751451)
Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance

Hello Bertil,
to access an Oracle database from within an SAP system you'll need SAP's database interface library specific for Oracle plus the Oracle database client library utilized by SAP's database interface library. Both need to be available for the operating system your application server runs on, i.e. IBM i5/OS in your scenario.
Since the required Oracle database client software is not available for IBM i5/OS your SAP application servers on IBM i5/OS cannot access your Oracle database.
To overcome this limitation you would need to add at least one additional SAP application server based on Windows or Linux/Power to your current SAP system utilizing IBM DB2 for i5/OS. Since the required software libraries are available for these two operating systems you will be able to solve your problem this way.

HOW COULD CONNECT FROM SAP SYSTEM TO THIRD PARTY JAVA APPLICATION

HI expects,
HOW COULD CONNECT FROM SAP SYSTEM TO THIRD PARTY JAVA or . DET APPLICATION.please provide me some scenarios and documents.please help me.

Hi,
In the sender side i.e. in SAP system you can use IDoc/RFC/Proxy to push the data to XI.
IDoc supports only Async communication and in Sync case performace is good using Proxy.
In the receiver side you can use Java Proxy to connect to the Java application or you can even bulid a webservice over the Java/.Net application and use SOAP adapter to post data to it.

Hello All,
I have a requirement to setup a tcp connection in SM59 from BI 7 to an external oracle database.
I am through with the first step of modifying the tnsnames.ora and now I am able to connect from OS level of BID server to this external oracle database O1.
But, I want to know what options do I need to use to setup a tcp/ip connection?
How should I register the program (if required)?
Can anyone please advise whats the best way to resolve this issue?

BO Analysis for Excel – How to connect to SAP BW

Hi Gurus,
We recently upgrade to BO 4.1 (from 3.1). And want to start to use Analysis for Excel.
We are little unclear how to connect from Analysis for Excel to SAP BW 7,3.
From Analysis select “Select Data Source” Then get a pop-up “Logon to SAP BussinessObjects BI Platform” with User, Password and Web Service URL. All those are blank. For the Web Service URL there is a message “Error while checking availability of SAP BussinessObjects BI Platform system”
If choose “Skip” then get SAP Logonpad and can log on to BW. From there I can choose the BW queries directly.
What is the best practice to connect from Analysis for Excel to SAP BW?
Is it not possible to connect to the BO server? And choose OLAP connection from there to connect to BW?
If so, is something missing in our setup?
Regards,
Reynir

Yes you need to define an OLAP connection of you are connecting to BW through the BIP - see tutorial http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-20625
You can also connect directly to BW without going through BIP
I also recommend searching before you post per SCN rules - there are many posts about creating OLAP connections

Connection from SAP ERP 6 to B1i2007

Hello,
the test-connection between B1i and SAP is working, but when trying to test the connection from SAP to B1i, SAP gives the error mesaage that "the program is not registered".
The B1i-System seems to be not registered in the SAP and it is only shown as "external client" (and not as registered server).
Another problem is that in B1i we have entered as programID-name "B1iRFC" but SAP shows "tomcat5" as TP-name.
I thought B1i would register automatically on the SAP with the name of the programm-id entered.
Do we have to change someting in the tomcat-server or where to find the problem?
Thank you,
Peter

Hello Eddy,
thank you for your answer, but in R/3 I define a RFC-connection with a registered server programm by using the programID out of the B1i-RFCP-configuration, right?
And when trying to make a test-connection, I got an error message that there is no registered program with this programID.
I thought that B1i have to be registered in SAP or in the SAP-Gateway with the name of this programID.
I think my problem is the registered server program in R/3. Where do I get this program and how to register in the R/3 gateway? Isn't the tomcat-server this program?
Best regards,
Peter

Connection from SAP to our systems involving 2 saprouters

connection from SAP to our systems involving 2 saprouters
we have 1 saprouter inside a dmz and another for connecting to our systems.
we are guessing that this is possible
SAP (sapserv2) -
SNC----> saprouter1 (DMZ, SNC connection) -
> saprouter2 (P * * 3200) ---> SAP1, SAP2...
But how could we do that?
How can we let SAP know that they need to connect to 2 saprouters instead of 1?
The "Mantain System Data" in sap service marketplace only lets us introduce 1 saprouter.
And how should be the saproutettab of the 2 saprouters?
saprouter1:
KT "p:CN=sapserv2, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE" 000.00.00.00 *
P * saprouter2 3299
saprouter2:
P * * 3200
P * * 3600
is that possible?
Many thanks !!

Hi
As far as my experience goes with this you have to maintain both router information in oss1 tcode
Also mention second router on the second router tab on the SMP data
I hope it should work with that as it will automatically create router table

Is this possible: SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and ...

Hi,
I have (stupid perhaps) question.
Is this scenario possible:
SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and non-SNC connection from SAP Router to SAP System.
I know how to set up scenario like this:
SAP System --- (non-SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP GUI.
Best regards,
Marek Majchrowski

Wolfgang,
To be sure myself and Marek understand, can you confirm the different scenarios supported:
Scenario 1:
SAP GUI --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP System
With this scenario, it would be possible for a user to logon using SAP GUI onto the SAP System, but without SAP GUI SNC.
Scenario 2:
SAP GUI --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (SNC conn) --- SAP System
With this scenario it would be possible to logon to the SAP System using SAP GUI, and using SNC authentication.
Also, with this scenario the SAP GUI software and SAP System software would consider this to be similar to:
SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- SAP System
Scenario 3:
This is the scenario mentioned by Marek in his initial question:
SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- saprouter1 -- (non SNC conn) -- SAP System
With this scenario it will not be possible to logon to SAP System using SNC, and only possible if the SAP GUI is configured to not use SNC. In other words the SNC connection between SAP GUI and saprouter1 is available, but cannot be used.
Thanks,
Tim

External Oracle Databse connection from SAP

Dear all,
I know that this question has been asked before, but as i am facing some primitive issues so i am again posting my query.
My requirement is to connect to an external ORACLE db from SAP and read data from that server. That ORACLE db is located in a different m/c altogether. I was trying to connect by making settings in DBCON -
CON NAME= ORA_TEST
DBMS= ORA
USER NAME= administrator
PASSWORD= (some pwd)
CON ENV= ????? (what is to be put here)
And I know that we have to make some corrections in tnsnames.ora file, but I am unable to find that file in SAP system. Where can I find this file ???
Do we have to make one RFC connection as the SAP and ORACLE servers are in diff m/c and then do the connection, but this is just my guess??
And if any RFC is at all required then what should be the parameters for that connection.
Kindly help me in resolving the issue.
1. CON ENV ?
2. tnsnames.ora ?
3. Any RFC needed ?
Points will definately be rewarded.
Thanks,
Saurabh.

Hi,
I have done the required settings everywhere but the connection is failing.
The tnsname.ora file is located in my Oracle client directory and the settings done there are -
LEVEL2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =
                            192.167.40.54)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = level2)
in DBCON i have made the following entry -
1. DB Connection : NEWORA
2. DBMS :             ORA
3. User Name :       User Name external oracle database
4. DB Password :   Password external oracle database
5. Conn Info :         level2
and my ABAP code looks like -
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
ncli(20) TYPE c,
num(20) TYPE c,
END OF wa.
DATA: dbs TYPE dbcon-con_name.
DATA: con(20) TYPE c.
DATA : ls_wa LIKE wa.
dbs = 'NEWORA'. "DB Connection in DBCO
EXEC SQL.
connect to :dbs
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
GET CONNECTION :dbs
ENDEXEC.
WRITE : dbs.
EXEC SQL PERFORMING loop_output.
select bundle_cnt, job_id from GHCBRMRT.RML_BUNDLE into :ls_wa
ENDEXEC.
FORM loop_output.
WRITE: / ls_wa-ncli,
ls_wa-num.
now my dilemma is how SAP will recognize in DBCON what really "level2" means ?? as the settings are there in ORACLE directory and not inside SAP system.
the dump error msg that I am getting is -
Runtime Errors         DBIF_DSQL2_CONNECTERR

      identifier "NEWORA".
Missing Handling of System Exception

Driver to connect from SAP PO 7.4 on Sybase to third party SQL anywhere 12

Hi All, We have PO 7.4 on Sybase 16.01 and wants to connect third party SQL anywhere 12(Sybase). We have already the Driver: jconn4.jar in the location --> /usr/sap/SID/J00/exe/sybjdbc in the PO system. Do we need to have any other driver for connection from SAP PO 7.4 on Sybase to third party SQL anywhere 12(Sybase). Please suggest. Regards, Karthik.

Hi Karthik,
I guess PO comes from Process Orchestration with Netweaver ?
Anyway to be able to connect to a remote database, from Netweaver you need a DBSL. It comes with Netweaver kernel: the lib_dbsl required to connect to ASE and IQ (and IQ uses SQLAnywhere ODBC), but there is not specifically to SQLAnywhere (even if the ODBC used for IQ is the ODBC of SQLAnywhere). I guess that *maybe* you can try using your current Sybase lib_dbsl. I don't know how you configure remote connections from PO (with Netweaver it would be done with DBCO t-code) and to be honest I won't be sure it is a supported remote connection.
Regards,
Victoria.

From the iSaSiLk everything seems to be OK, but on the SAP WebAS the error "none of the PSEs registered with hSsl can suffice the negotiated SSL cipher suite" is really unclear, since the cipher chosen by the iSaSiLk is one of the ciphers sent by SAP WebAS...
Can anyone give me any suggestion?

An iSaSiLk server "is a Java programming language implementation of the SSLv2 (client-side), SSLv3, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols. It supports all defined cipher suites (except for Fortezza), including all AES and PSK cipher suites. iSaSiLk implements all standard TLS extensions, comes with an easy to use API and operates on top of the IAIK-JCE Javau2122 Cryptography Extension. iSaSiLk is highly configurable and will work with any alternative JCE implementation supported by a proper provider for supplying the required cryptographic algorithms".
Once again thanks for your answer.

Remote Connection from SAP to MS-SQL server

Hello Experts,
We have been following 2 options so far and we have come across some issues
The first Option is to call a stored procedure (this is our preferred method) which does the data transfer for us
We have been able to test this scenario successfully from SQL Server side
However, while calling the stored proc via native SQL from ABAP we have come across an issue which is due to SQL 2005 changes (Schema implementation and difference in the security context)
While calling the stored procedure from the ABAP Code we have an error
The program short dumps with runtime error DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR, exception CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR. The database error code is 15274, and the error text is
"Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted."
This issue is new after the SQL Server 2005.
We are trying to resolve that.
Secondly we have been trying the DBCON option as well as per OSS Note 323151
We have a few things thatu2019s impacting our scenario:
The remote servers are in a different domain
The remote servers are located in DIZ
Remote server is a named instance
Remote server has been configured with a different port than standard (1565) u2013 All Connection strings will need port in there
The Database name starts with a numeric value
Due a combination of factors as mentioned above the standard approach does not work
Have any of you used this approach while connecting from SAP to MS-SQL server? Do you know of any successful methods to connect to SQL using ABAP (or not) from SAP.
Thanks in advance,

Yes,
DBConnect & UDConnect.
Works like a charm.
We write data into a MS-SQL database via DBConnect & an ABAP program (using open sql).

SAP DB Connection from SAP BI on HP UNIX to MS SQL External Database

Dear All,
Greetings!
I have a scenario to configure a SAP DB Connection from SAP BI System on HP UNIX 11i to the external legacy system MS SQL 2000 Enterprise for data upload. I am interested in connecting the SQL server as a Source System to the BI System.
I read through documents mentioning about installation of a Client driver in the SAP BI System, I also downloaded the JDBC client software and tried installing the same, but the steps as mentioned Setting the CLASSPATH or connecting to the server did not work.
Please help me in connecting the SQL Server as Source System, I would like to know in detail about the same - so kindly help me with the links to documents and guides about the same.
Thank you
Regards,
Vineeth Damodar

Short answer: this does not work.
Long answer: To connect directly to the database you need
- a database client for the source system
- a database interface library for the source system
Both of them are not available for HP-UX if the target database is SQL server --> doesn't work.
What you can do is: add a Windows application server to your BI system (heterogeneous installations work and are supported) and add there the database client and the database interface library.

http://help.sap.com/content/documentation/netweaver/index.htm
OR
You do not need Netweaver 7.2 CE for using NWBC 3.0. You just need netweaver 7.02.
You simply need to apply enhancement package 2 on your existing 7.01 system to make it 7.02.
Please refer to installation guides on service marketplace, there you can see the EHP2 installation guides.
