Is it possible to retrieve data from an Oracle db with an LDAP query?

Our application uses an LDAP query to retrieve data from Microsoft Active Directory. Is it also possible to retrieve data from an Oracle database with an LDAP query?

if you have Oracle Internet Directory, you will retrieve with ldapsearch data, which are physically stored in the database. But to select * from emp where ename='SCOTT', it is probably not possible.
At least I have never heard of such a product which translate ldap query in sql query. But feel free to write your own one in perl :-)

ClickOnce WinForms Application to retrieve data from an Oracle Database

I am hoping someone can help us.
We are trying to create a ClickOnce WinForms Application that will allow our Customer Service group to retrieve data from an Oracle Database.
We are currently able to use such a ClickOnce WinForms Application to allow our Customer Service group to retrieve data from SQL Server 2000 databases and even to a PICK Basic database. We use ole db drivers for these connections and keep the connection strings in a configuration file.
Our primary question now is:
1) What files would be needed on each client machine?
Thanks for any pointers.
:) Anne

The problem has been fixed.
If you wanna to load data from Oracle DB,the connect String should be like this:
cnss.open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;data source=orcl;User Id=fdmitf;Password=fdmitf"
besides, you should assign a value (True/False) to your function, as TonyScalese said in this post:
Import from RDB Fails with "Error:Import failed.Invalid data or Empty..."
Problem solved is always a great joy! Thanks!

Is there a possibility to retreve Data from the OPC Server with the XML Interface

Is there a possibility to connect a OPC/DA server with the help of the XML interface with Labview?
I need to retrieve Data from a OPC Server running on Linux, so i got no Dcom System an I need to use XML. The server is running and with OPC client-tools i can access de different data. So now I want to visualize all Data
that come from that server on Labview.
1. Is it possible to realize that?
2. Is a library or a demo vi available ?
Regards
Densel

Hi Densel,
Sure, you can use XML within LabVIEW, the question is which syntax do you use?
Are you able to send the XML statements via TCP/IP?

Is it possible to retrieve data from iPhone 5 after "restoring to factory setting?" (Not from iTunes)

I accidentally restored BF's phone back this latest back-up which was March 2013... Some of his data were saved on iCloud but not everything. I don't understand why it only picked certain things to store in iCloud and not everything! For exmaple, few photos were saved on his Photostream album on his phone. Photos taken in the last two weeks were saved but not before that to March 2013. So I'm looking for a way to retrieve data directly from the iphone and not through ITUNES. Please let me know if there's hope!

Photostream only keeps photos for the last 30 days. Resign yourself to the fact that the rest of them are gone.

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,
C
SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB

     AND rundate = w_rundate
     ORDER BY linenum.
Populate calling Internal Table.
LOOP AT T-DATA.
APPEND T_DATA to T_TAB.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Possible to retrieve data from the backend using online interactive form ?

Hello All,
I am currently developing an online interactive form and in it, a textbox which allows user to search for employee data in the backend in the event that the default name is not correct. However, I noticed that in the proerty field of my interactiveform, there is only OnCheck and OnSubmit. Is it possible for me to make a search in the backend and have the results returned to my adobe form again ?
from
Kwok Wei

Hi Kwok Wei,
OnSubmit and OnCheck work in the same way. So if you need 2 buttons in your form then you can use both of these.
I have never tried passing parameters but you can define context attributes and assign values. Later these can be accessed from the onSubmit Method.

Retrieve data from a dynamic page via loadURL

Hello.
I would like to ask you how it is possible to retrieve data
from a dynamic page (asp classic in my case) using the loadURL
method.
I would like to create an html authentication form (with
username and password fields). The loadURL method should call an
asp page and then pass to the usual function 'DoIfSucceded' the
results of the elaboration.
Of course I'm going to have a switch in the function in order
to make different actions depending from the results of the asp
page (authentication succeded or failed).
I had a look to the examples at this page:
Adobe
samples
Is there anyone who can explain clearly how the results data
must be written by the asp page and how the success function can
retrieve them ?
I thank you in advance for your help.

loadURL() uses the the XMLHttpRequest Object so if the
content you return is XML, you have 2 choices for accessing your
data. You can either access it as a text string via the
XMLHttpRequest object's responseText property, or as a DOM document
via the XMLHttpRequest object's responseXML property:
function MySuccessCallback(req)
// If my data is XML, I can access the data that was sent
from the server
// as DOM elements via the XMLHttpRequest's responseXML
property.
var xmlDOM = req.xhRequest.responseXML;
// OR, you can access the data sent back from the server as
text via
// the XMLHttpRequest object's responseText property.
var xmlAsAString = req.xhRequest.responseText;
var req = Spry.Utils.loadURL("GET",
"/app/book.php?id=1&code=54321", true, MySuccessCallback);
If your serverside script wants to use some other format as a
response like JSON or plain text, then you can only access the data
as text via the responseText property.

Error while retrieving data from PL/SQL Table using SELECT st. (Urgent!!!)

Hi Friends,
I am using Oracle 8.1.6 Server, & facing problems while retrieving data from a PL/SQL Table:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE test_proc IS

begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST(dt2 as tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);

Can anyone please help me, where the problem is??
Is it Possible to retrieve data from PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement? & How ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.

Thanks Roger for the Update.
It means that have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE in database then only I can fire a Select statement on that TYPE.
Actually I wanted to fire a Select statement on the TABLE TYPE, defined & declared in PLSQL stored procedure using DECLARE TYPE .. TABLE & not using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE.
I was eager to know this, because my organization is reluctant in using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE defined in the database, so I was looking out for another alternative to access PL/SQL TABLE using Select statement without defining it database. It would have been good if I could access a PLSQL TABLE using Select statement Declared locally in the stored procedure.
Can I summarize that to access a PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement, I have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE?
If someone have any other idea on this, please do let me know.
Thanks a lot for all help.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.
You have to define a database type...
create type tP2 is table of varchar2(10)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC
IS
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST (dt2 AS tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
This will work.

Retrieve data from 2 columns of 2 different tables and display in 1 column

Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve data from 2 different columns of 2 different tables and display it in the same column of a datablock in a form.
For example:
Table A
Col1
1
2
3
Table B
Col1
2
4
5
The column from the datablock in the form should display the following:
1
2
3
2
4
5

You can create a view
select ... from table_a
union
select ... from table_b
and base the block on that.
However, if you want to allow DML on the block it gets more complicated.

Retrieve data from BW with an XML interface

Hello all,
Is it possible to retrieve data from BW with an XML interface ? And if so, how can we do this ?
Kind regards,
Marc

Thanks Edan,
Can you please example as how to access the ODS object in the BW using ABAP? Please note that we would initiate the call from another XAPP system and update the data into the CRM system.
Also please provide an example as how the BAPI can acces the cube data in BW.
I assume that we will be writing both the BAPI and the ABAP code( as an RFC) in the BW sysyem and call those from the XAPPS to get data out of BW Cube and ODS respectively.
Thanks

Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect

Hi Everyone,
I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
Can anyone please let me know about it.
Thanks,
Joshua.

Hi,
You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
General information
The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
                - Tools
                - SQL syntax
                - DB-specific functions
Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
Procedure
You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
Installing the client software on an BW application server
                     Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
                     Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
Testing connection setup from BW to Q
                     After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
Creating a separate U user in Q
                     We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
                     To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
                     CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
                       SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
                     You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
                        GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
                     Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
                     !!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
                     Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
                       CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
                     !!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
                     After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
                       SELECT * FROM <view or table>
                     on the Q system to check which data is returned.
                     You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
Solution
Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
      Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
Possible problems
- Synonyms do not (yet) work!
Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
- The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
- Oracle Client Software Version
If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
- Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
Example with a DATE field:
Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
    SQL> desc dba_tables;
The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
      where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
SQL> select to_char(
       TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
       'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
with the result:
DATIM
01-02-03 04-05-06
When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
- Special characters
A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there.
