How to use BEx or Visual Composer to visualize 3rd party tool data?

Hello,
could you give me ideas how to visualize non-SAP warehouse data with BEx or Visual Composer?
I know that one option is virtual provider with connection to external DW. I do not want to load data into BW.
Is there any other way? If yes, how it can be done?
Thanks,
ak

3.3 Connectivity and Interoperability
This section briefly describes:
The means of connecting Visual Composer Storyboard to the required back-end systems
The technology environments to which models composed in Storyboard can be deployed
Connectivity with Back-End Systems
Visual Composer provides tools that let you connect via the portal to back-end applications defined in the portal system landscape. This connection enables you to import into your model the relevant function modules on which you want to base your iViews. The imported function modules are referred to as data services.
Normally, you can connect to any installation of a back-end application to import a data service, and then deploy the content to any portal that enables access to an instance of the same back-end application. However, if the customer installation of the back-end application includes customized function modules, you will need to import the data services in the customer environment, in order to retrieve the customized functions.
Most connections to back-end systems are accomplished using the SAP and JDBC connectors deployed automatically as part of the connector framework installed with the portal. The SAP connector provides access to R/3 and BW systems, while the JDBC connector provides access to a wide range of databases, including Microsoft SQL, Oracle, DB2 and others.
BI connectors, installed separately in the portal, can be used to access a range of different data, including multidimensional cubes, relational tables and queries. Connectivity is based on defining a system in the portal landscape. You may define systems for the following connections:
BI XMLA
BI ODBO
BI JDBC
BI SAP Query
In addition, you can configure the BW system, installed automatically with the SAP connector, for accessing predefined queries.
The following table describes the systems from which Visual Composer can import data, and the connectors that are required. The Connector (second column) indicates the name of the connector used to install the system in the portal.

How to use Webservice in Visual composer

Hi,
We have developed a RFC in R3 and converted it into Webservice. We want to use this in the Visual composer. Can anyone suggest some steps how to use this RFC in Visual composer?
I tried the option in Tools--> Define webservice System and gave the following parameters:
new system name = WDP (system name which we use)
new system alias = WDP_VC (system alias which we created)
webservice url = URL of the webservice which we have created and got in WSDL
when we create it gives an error the URL is incorrect.
Kindly let me know if these values are correct and suggest the steps to be followed. Also, if there are any prerequiste steps to be done before using this webservice.
Thanks and Kind regards,
Rajbarath.

Hi,
The option you described refers to defining a new web service system in the portal system landscape. So if you already have it defined - you don't have to define it again.
As for the actual error you're getting, check that:
1. The url is indeed accessible, and points to a wsdl. You can do this by simply inserting it in the browser's address bar and making sure you get a wsdl file in the response.
2. Make sure that you don't need to authenticate, i.e. provide a user and password. Maybe you just forgot to provide these arguments.
Lastly, keep in mind that this 'Define Web Service System' option is just a shortcut. Generally, you would define a web service system in the portal, like any other system, using the web service connector.
Hope this helps,
Lior

Hello Kirk ,
The answers for your question are:
Option 1A: Yes you can .you can use TCP/IP but you must have a middleware component for that such as BC/JCO .
Please see the link : [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/09/c88442a07b0e53e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]

How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it. All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this? I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
Thanks!

Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

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.

How to backup 3rd party apps data?

Hi All,
I have problem with backup 3rd party apps data, i was using iphone 3G start from version 2.2.0
I was purchased and free download some apps from itunes i.e: safe note, picture safe 2, IM+, skype and some apps can be allow keeping data or record.
But after i update to OS3.0, i found most of 3rd party apps data and setting was missing.
This really waste my time to manually write it down and key it back or setting back.
please Apple and apps provide company think about this problem. can just make it simple, when we doing backup, all apps data and record also can safe it. Then we not need keep doing double work.

If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
"restore candy crush backup progress"
Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.
