Open hub in 2004s - Detination type Third Party Tool

Hello there,
May be SAP people can answer this or anyone who has actually done the Extraction to Non SAP system pl answer.
We're on 2004s SP 10. We have bunch of Hubs, right now creating flat files which gets loaded to a different Oracel DB system.
In the new version in the Destiantion type there is Third-Party Tool and has RFC Destination below it.
I've gone through the help.sap.com and manuals on this, i get a feeling we need a third party tool Ascential to put data in the third system.
But what i would like to know is with just the RFC destination established to the different sytem will I be able to extract Data to the other system.
Thanks for your answers.
Mayil

Hello Mayil,
I am currently working on a similar problem - using OpenHub to export data into a SQL Server database. My understanding is that using the "third party" option allows you to use the OpenHub API which basically gives you the control of when and how you want to extract the data. Nothing is done automatically (as mentioned in the other reply), because SAP does not know your third party system. You will have to write a custom application that calls the OpenHub API through RFC.
In my case, I am using the SAP Connector for .NET (v2.0) which makes communicating with the BI server through RFC much easier. I do not know Oracle very well, but you can probably create RFC calls right through Oracle's T-SQL?
In your case, you can also stick with flat file export if it fulfills your needs. It is still available in NW2004s.
I agree with you - unfortunately, there is close to no information in the help files and forums so far.
Please post any progress - I will do the same.

  • Open hub Destinations - Third-Party Tools As Destinations

    Dear all, below is the SAP Help process flow steps. I am quiet clear of all the steps except the APIs. Where do we define these APIs? When it says "You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction" where do I use it? Is it in the 3rd party tool? or is it in SAP BI.
    If it is in 3rd party tool, where in 3rd party tool. Do I need to write as code ? or would I have an option in the 3rd party tool?
    If someone can help me with Microsoft connector using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages to SAP BI that would be helpful.
    Where in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages can I use/put this APIs? Any help Plzz
    If it is in SAP BI where in SAP BI do I have to use these APIs? Any help is highly appreciated
    Regards,
    KK
    Process Flow:
    Extraction to the third-party tool can be executed as follows:
           1.      You define an open hub destination with Third-Party Tool as the destination type.
           2.      You create an RFC destination for your third-party tool and enter it in the definition of the open hub destination.
           3.      You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction.
           4.      You either start extraction immediately or include it in a process chain. You can also start this process chain from the third-party tool using process chain API RSPC_API_CHAIN_START. The extraction process then writes the data to a database table in the BI system.
           5.      When the extraction process is finished, the system sends a notification to the third-party tool using API RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY.
           6.      The extracted data is read by API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_READ_DATA.
           7.      The status of the extraction is transferred to the monitor by API RSB_API_OHS_REQUEST_SETSTATUS.

    It's been a along time since i worked with open hub, but here goes:
    The Third Party tool needs parameters or switches to work correctly. Think of the old DOS commanda the  "/a" "/b" suffix.
    The APIs are simply a way to pass these parameters from the BW source to the Third Party target.
    If your tool does not need them, don't worry about them.

  • Error in Export of Tech Sys of type 'Third Party-PI 2004s

    Hi,
    I am trying to COnfigure CMS with PI 2004s.When I try to Export Technical systems from Web AS ABAP from Dev to QA ,it goes fine.But I am not able to Export Technical system of type "Third Party". The Export Option when clicked throws error.But no error description is shown.
    Any pointers for this issue?
    Regards,
    Rashmi

    Hi Rashmi,
    I experienced the same issue and finally logged an OSS call with SAP.
    The final result from development support :
    "Dear Mr. Deberlanger,
    unfortunately, this is a bug in the SLD coding. The bug has now
    been fixed and the fix will be available with SPS10.
    Meanwhile, we can suggest only two workarounds:
    a) export all LD at once from the dev systems. This means you should
    first clean up the dev so it only contains systems you want to export,
    then go to Administration - Exports - and perform a Full Export of
    the LD export line. This can be imported in the prod SLD and will
    contain all technical systems and all business systems.
    b) manually create the third-party systems in the prod SLD. If you do
    this before you import the business systems, they will be associated
    to the third party systems upon import."

  • Sending data directly from BW To Oracle DW via Open hub Third party tools

    HI All
    We need to send data from SAP BW 7.0 to Oracle 11g DW. The requirement is to pass data through open hubs. So we wanted to explore the option of directly passing the data from BW to Oracle using third party tools. So i tried to gather information on the third party tools and came across list of APIs and some pointers on creating a RFC through SM59. But dont know how to do it or what parameters to pass. Could you please point me in the direction or list me step by step detailed instructions as to how I can achieve this?

    Hi Amit..
      I can see  the following  will make things work for  you.
    1) BODS.
    2) PI ( XI).
    3) BI7.0 to FTP and from FTP  you to push these tp  your oracle system..

    Hi,
    <i> can i use thchnical system type 'third party' for R3 system. will the scenario work properly or not.</i>
       --- No u can't use this...Ur technical system must be "WebAS ABAP" only.  For file system you use 3rd party system. means ur technical system like follows.
    sender
    R/3  -- WebAs ABAP
    Receiver
    File  - 3 rd pary system
    <i>And some times some of the business systems in SLD are not visible in ID, when assigning business system in ID.can any one tell reason for this.</i>
      Click "Clear SLD cache" repeatly for some time in ID, it will come.

  • SLD - Technical System Types: Third-Party vs. Standalone Java

    Hi all,
    can somebody explain what´s the difference between the technical system types
    "Third-Party" and "Standalone Java"
    Please give also one example for a standalon java type.
    Thanks,
    Kris

    Hi Kris,
    1. Third Party: Can be any Tech System. For example you want to send a xml message from a file adapter residing on your PC. You can define your PC as a 3rd party Tech/Business System.
    2. StandAlone Java: WEBAS640 has bot Basis and Java Stacks. If you installed only the standalone java Stack on a server, then you define a standalone java tech system.
    For more info check the XI-3.0 Help documentation.

  • RFC destination for your third-party tool

    Hello SAP Guru's,
    I have recently established external db connect for an iseries database. Now developers wants to use the open hub destination to extract data to non-SAP systems. They are using API: RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY to connect a third-party tool to the BI system and use this third-party tool to distribute data to other non-SAP systems. To do so they need RFC destination for the third party tool. Could you tell me which RFC connection i have to use in SM59 ? I mean is it ABAP connection or TCP/IP connection or HTTP connection to external server?
    I would highly appreciate any help on this.
    FYI:
    I have already gone through below help link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/8de3f4743b22a8e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

    This will be of type TCP/IP.
    You will need to create an RFC server application on the thirdparty system, and implement this function there. You will need to define that server application in your RFC destination definitions (host/Program).
    You may need to read up RFC server help documentation; you can also browse the SAPGUI subfolders for RFC server sample applications and C code (if you have installed GUI in full, there should be such subfolders on your PC). You can also ask for help on 'application server' or 'abap' forums for this.

  • Is a third-party tool required for data extraction to non-SAP system?

    Hi,
    I want to extract data to non-SAP systems with the open hub service.
    If I choose Database tables as open hub destinations, I would like to know if a third-party tool is mandatory and if it's possible to send data directly from database tables in BW to non-SAP systems.
    Many thanks
    Ella

    you can choose a flat file on the application server and then transffer the file from the application server to other server where you want to use.
    in case you want to use the table in the open hub service. any other software that can connect to oracle db / the databasee you have and can access the data from the table.

  • Third Party tools nw2004s

    Everyone,
    we are doing major upgrade from 3.5 to nw2004s.I have links from the master guide regarding the upgrades but can any one tell me how does it affect our third party tools already running on 3.5x.
    do they still continue running on new release,if yes are there any new patches available for that??
    thanks

    In addition
    The latest BI release in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) includes a new type of DataSource for which our staging BAPI has not yet been aligned.
    Third party ETL tool vendors can therefore only implement their load processes using the original type of DataSource from BW 3.x. This DataSource is still provided in the new release without any changes. Upgrading to NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI (BI 7.0) does not therefore endanger existing implementations based on BW 3.x and NetWeaver 2004 (BW 3.5).
    It is also possible to migrate third party ETL implementations based on BW 3.x into the new data-flow concept of a NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI environment using new DataSources, transformations (also new), and data transfer processes (DTP) (also new). This is possible because the system provides an emulated view for BW 3.x DataSources, which makes it possible to combine them with NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) transformations and DTPs for regular batch load processing (this does not include direct access and real-time data acquisition (RDA)).
    This allows the benefits of the new data loading concept to be made available in such third party ETL-based loading scenarios.
    Hope it Helps

  • Third Party Tools To Upgrade WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2013?

    Since you cannot upgrade WSS 3.0 directly to SharePoint Foundation 2013 using just the SharePoint software, I wanted to look at 3rd party tools that automate the migration directly to 2013 without requiring an intermediate upgrade to 2010.
    We have a simple WSS 3.0 farm with 2 SharePoint Servers and 2 SQL servers that are are load balanced so that the site stays up if any one of the servers goes down.  It may be just round robin load balancing.
    I'd like to see if I can determine if any of these migration tools would save enough time and effort for this type of environment to be worth the cost.  It would be nice if we could do the upgrade all in once day instead of having 2 outages.

    HI,There are third party tools to upgrade sharepoint but not from wss 3.0 to directly sharepoint 2013.Its not at all possible as I know.Please find the below link that clearly explains the Upgrade process.
    http://expertsharepoint.blogspot.de/2014/03/sharepoint-up-gradationmoss2007.html
    Anil Avula[MCP,MCSE,MCSA,MCTS,MCITP,MCSM] See Me At: http://expertsharepoint.blogspot.de/
    It looks like there are such products.  
    This one says it can be used to migrate directly from even WSS 2.0 to SharePoint 2013.
    http://www.fpweb.net/sharepoint-2013/migrate-sharepoint-2003-to-sharepoint-2013/
    I don't like that it doesn't indicate anything about pricing on the page so you have to call a sales rep and give away all your contact information before you can get a quote.  I probably will not call them.
    We would "like" to speed up the migration process and have only a single outage, but since the SharePoint environment is small, we will not be spending thousands of dollars just to save having to do two upgrades.  We would probably end up just
    going to 2010 and canceling the 2013 upgrade if needed.

  • Error while creating the proxy object to connect to a third party tool.

    Hi,
    I tried creating a proxy object with the wsdl file. I even created a HTTP connection to the third party tool. but when I try to execute the whole proxy object, I am getting the below error. Can anyone help me on this?
    "Proxy-Generierung: Fehler aufgetreten"
    "Incorrect value: Entity "<<document>>"(92 /3788 ). end tag 'ul' does not match begin tag 'p'"
    Thanks & Regards,

    do a check on the wsdl file and how you are passing values in the proxy. The tags for XML are not correct. Open the WSDL in IE and see there must be an error. Or probably when passing the actual values to the XML generated each element is not closed properly. Error says tags dont match.
