How to connect to DB2 from ABAP program

Hi,
In my ABAP program I need to retrieve 3 fields from one table of DB2 database. I have tried creating an RFC connection in SM59 and then using native SQL in abap code but could not succeed.
I have also maintained an entry in DBCON table but am unable to connect through program.
Pls suggest.
Thanx in advance.

Preeti-
DBCON may not work for you because your target is DB2. You SAP system should have the suitable driver files for connecting to DB2 and I don't think currently this is supported.
However, there are other ways of doing it. One ofcourse is to use a middleware tool, which I guess you don't have in your landscape.
If investing on a middleware tool is out of scope, here are other options
1) If you are a microsoft shop, use .NET connector (freely downlaodable from SAP service market place). You can develop a .NET component which will use .NET connector for connecting to SAP and OBDC to connect to your AS400 system. The OBDC drivers can be obtained from IBM.
2) If you are a java shop, you can develop a java code which can run on your AS400 system or a separte server (windows,unix..).
This java code will use JRFC/JCO (again downloadable for free from SAP service market place) to connect to SAP while it will use Client access ODBC drivers or JT400 drivers (google JT400) to connect to your DB2 database.
Though developing this is not a great deal, could be bit challenging if done for the first time. Let me know which way you wanna go and I can guide with more information/code samples.

How to consume WEB SERVICES from ABAP ??

Q: How to consume WEB SERVICES from ABAP program??
     the point here is i am using SAP release 620 and the creation of proxy is out of scenario
     and also no XI.    Its only through ABAP program i need to consume one web service (its a HTTPS one ),
    Using cl_http_client... i tried it but i am totally confused of whats happening ???
Req some senior ppl advice on the same/approach.
any hints will suffice my way of approach...!!!
Please do put in your valuable advices..!!
Thanks in advance..!!!!

Hello Srinivas,
Following is the code for calling web service:
data: client type ref to if_http_client,
      host   type string value 'server url',
      service type string value '8080',
      path type string value '/sap/public/ping',
      errortext type string,
      proxy_service type string,
      scheme type i value 1.
call method cl_http_client=>create
exporting host = host
        service = service
     proxy_host = host
   proxy_service = service
   scheme        = scheme
importing client = client
exceptions
    argument_not_found = 1
    internal_error     = 2
    plugin_not_active = 3
    others             = 4.
case sy-subrc.
when 0.
     write 'Server reached successfully'.
when others.
     write: 'sy-subrc =', sy-subrc.
endcase.
Once you got the client object you can call following methods:
"Set the requrie URL for the web service you want to call. This is not WSDL anyway!!
cl_http_utility=>set_request_uri( request = client->request
uri =' url 2 be called ').
*Then you can call send method with proper inputs for sending request to WS
CALL METHOD client->send
Then you can use receive method for getting the response
CALL METHOD client->receive
*You can get last error in case of exceptions
CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>get_last_error
*Close the client object
CALL METHOD client->close
For more information on full code refer my link in previous replay.
Thanks,
Augustin.

Hello.
I need to acces to web that have user/password from abap program. Is there any function to do this?
And, is it possible, to do this in background process?

Hi Antonio,
Yes this is possible. Check out class cl_http_client, particularly method IF_HTTP_CLIENT~AUTHENTICATE in which you can provide the user credentials. Here's some example code:
DATA: client    TYPE REF TO if_http_client,
             l_url       TYPE string,
             l_content TYPE string.
CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create_by_url
EXPORTING
    url    = l_url
IMPORTING
    client = client
EXCEPTIONS
    OTHERS = 1.
client->request->set_header_field( name = '~request_method'
                                   value = 'GET' ).        "#EC *
CALL METHOD client->authenticate
EXPORTING
*    proxy_authentication = ' '
*    client               =
    username             = 'user'
    password             = 'password'
*    language             =
****Make the call
client->send( ).
****Receive the Response Object
CALL METHOD client->receive
EXCEPTIONS
    http_communication_failure = 1
    http_invalid_state         = 2
    http_processing_failed     = 3
    OTHERS                     = 4.
****Get the response content in Character format
l_content = client->response->get_cdata( ).
Hope this helps you!

How to trigger GP workflow through ABAP Program.

Hi All.
i have one scnerio , i want to create BOM through Custom Ztransaction that will be developed in ABAP Modulepool.

is it possible to trigger GP workflow?
if yes how to do it , please suggest the way out.
Regards,
Shyam.

Hi lingana,
As u see in my requriment that, Workflow is not designed within SAP , But the Workflow will be designing
in SAP Netweaver, its a GP Workflow. And Ztransaction(Developed by ABAP) will be seen by user through portal and
he save transaction on PORTAL, In backend ABAP program will run , and after meeting certain condition, it should create
or(Initiate) GP workflow(process).
So my question is , how ABAP Program will call GP workflow, How the connection will be made in between ABAP Code and GP workflow framework.
If any doubt regarding requriment let me know,

Passing data from abap-program to mssql database table thro native sql

Hi,
To pass the data from abap-program to mssql server,i have created database connection through dbco t.code.
now i am trying to get connection thro native sql but am not able to get it .Am working in ECC 5.0.
Could anyone help me on this.Did i miss anything?
i have tried Native-sql like this.
DATA: CON_NAME LIKE DBCON-CON_NAME VALUE 'BIW'.
EXEC SQL.
  CONNECT TO :con_name AS 'C1'
ENDEXEC.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Trying to do the same here, only using Oracle DB.
DATA:     dbc TYPE DBCON_NAME VALUE 'BI'
TRY.
EXEC SQL.
    CONNECT TO :dbc
ENDEXEC.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE cx_sy_native_sql_error.
ENDIF.
CATCH cx_sy_native_sql_error INTO oref_native_sql_error.
sql_emsg = oref_native_sql_error->get_text( ).
MESSAGE sql_emsg TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.
I keep getting the message 'Native SQL exception has occured' (because of the RAISE statement, I wonder how we can get a meaningfull error description).
Of course this can be a result of a number of network issues, so I'm trying to resolve this together with my BC admin.
I suggest the same to you..
In the meantime, if anyone can help out, it will be appreciated.

Connecting to db2 from report builder via odbc

Hi!
Some manuals said, it is possible to connect to DB2 from Oracle SQL*Plus (we have version 8.0.6.0.0)
and from Oracle Report Builder.(6.0.8.11.3)
User must install OCA (Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC (6.0.5.29.0)) and make ODBC entry.
I did it.
run with: plus80 db2user/db2pass@odbc:db2test
SQL*Plus made the connection, but with errors:
SQL*Plus: Release 8.0.6.0.0 - Production on Fri Oct 17 16:12:56 2003

ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied
Connected to:
Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.29.0
DB2/NT 08.01.0000
SQL>
The error refers PUPBLD.SQL, but I think it is Oracle specific, don't help.
Worse, that it can't connect from Report Builder, it just throws error.
If I set OCA_DEBUG=TRUE in registry, I have bonus messages:
oca-30053 unsupported network call (oracle code: 3115)
oca-30002 ubofssw function not supported (1010)
I tried to connect to MsAcces too, but I got same errors.
Have you any idea, how can I solve this?
Thanks

I just add the master entry in the c:\Report\NET80\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora, and it works.
but I can't connect with the system or sys accounts, it work just with scott/tiger.

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

Execute webdynpro from abap program and return to the caller program

Guys,
I have a question here.
I know there is a way to call an abap webdynpro application from normal abap program by either using a class method, or use a function module WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE by providing
the webdynpro application or using CALL TRANSACTION statement.
But, is there anyways that we can call the webdynpro application from abap program by supplying data to the webdynpro and display to the user from the portal, and then
once the user do some manipulation on the data, can we transfer back the data to the caller abap program?

hey ,
you can pack any web-dynpro program in tranasaction code and run it from R/3 and not via portal :
search in " SAPTECHNICAL" how to do so - for some reason i cant post a link here
than you can use call transaction .
regards
ASA
