Options to extract from external system

Hi,
What are all the possible options (DB connect, UD connect...) are there in BW to extract data from external system in BW and under which circumstances which one to use.
Thanks,
sam

Hi Sam,
Some information about DB Connect.
DB Connect allows you to have extra database connections besides the default connection for SAP.
You use these connections to access databases and transfer data into a BI system.
In general, BI application servers can only be supported for DB Connect on operating system versions where a SAP Database Shared Library (DBSL) has been released for the BI database and the source database.
Please see this link below

Hope this helps

Id like to watch RWB from External System

To XI specialist
Id like to watch RWB(Runtime Work Bench) from External System.
What I want is
"If Sender Adapter is error, re-schedule from scheduler "
"If Integration engine is error, re-schedule from scheduler "
"If Receiver Adapter is error, re-schedule from scheduler "
So I want to watch the status of RWB.
Maybe There is the status in the DB of XI of in the LogFile of XI.
If I can watch the status, I don't care the way of watching, by db, api, file...
Please give me your help!
thanks Naoki

Hi,
CCMS is installed on SAP so it will work there you can use tools like Tivoli/HP Openview to monitor CCMS which can give you status of SAP anywhere you want.
Another option is to use Java API and write custom code to connect SAP and watch status, which may consume time to write such cose and also will work slow.
I am using IBM Tivoli to watch my SAP systems from non-sap system. It can give you alert in file/db if you like.

'Accept IDOC' from external system

Hi Experts, I am new to IDOCS. I have to update one already written function module to accept IDOC in SAP from external system. In the function module I see some IMPORT parameters like 'input_method' and 'mass_processing' and EXPORT parameters like 'workflow_result' , 'application_variable' , 'in_update_task', 'call_transaction_done' . Can someone tell me what are these parameters for ???.

input _method for method of data records update
Mass_processing for handling the large number of Idocs in single take
Workflow_result for hitting the results at last
'in_update_task' update the records in update mode
call_transaction_done' by using call transaction method it would post the records

Hi,
We can have alternate ways to send IDocs from external system to SAP system. One way is in below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46b/helpdata/en/52/16abf6543311d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/ru/52/16abcf543311d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm
I can think of few more, like In external system after generating Idoc, save it as a tex and send it to SAP system using Http post or using web service.
Look out to below discussion.

Send IDoc from External System to SAP system

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to send IDocs from an external system to the SAp system. Basically the external system is a subsystem which is able to send & receive idocs. The external system is currently able to send idocs to SAP system through the ALE layer but now we have to replace it by PI. Now the external system has to send teh IDocs to the SAP ECC system through the SAP PI 7.0.
Kindly let me knowq how I can achieve it.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Satish,
You can achieve this requirement
1)If your external system going to support web service cals then send IDoc from External system as a web service, in PI use sender side SOAP and receiver side IDoc receiver channel to send IDoc.
or
2)Use proxy program ,implement the same ALE logic in PI.
or
3)Copy the Extenal IDoc message in to file folder as XML,then use file adapter to pick up this message and send it SAP using IDoc.

Updating purchasing contracts in SRM from external system ( XI )

We are using function modules

The issue is , how we will come to know an existing contract is got updated in

It would be great if anybody can provide some helpful information.

BCS - Message from External System : 'Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\IUSR'.'.

Hello,
I have create a an external content type .
I Choose "Connect with user's Identity".
I create a external list that uses the ExternalContentType.
When I try open the external list from browser by User "TestUser" . I get the following error "Message from External System : 'Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\IUSR'.'"
My Question :
I need to know why pass the credential "NT AUTHORITY\IUSR" to connect to the data base not the
current log in"TestUser" ? How Can I solve it ?
Thanks

Hi,
did you configure Kerberos delegation?
NTLM fails when you try to open external list from client computer, because SharePoint cannot pass user's identity - "Double Hop" issue.
Take a look at confguring Kerberos for SharePoint 2010 white paper
Download Configuring Kerberos Authentication for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products from Official Microsoft Download Center

We are implementing SRM 5.0 with extended classi scenario.
Until now we have a R3 system where we create PO, but we also have got a functionality for modifing particular information of PO in a lagacy system, that comunicate with R3 between idoc.
Now we migrate the lifecycle of PO in SRM, but the legacy system remains.
Wich is the best way for modify a PO from a legacy system in SRM?
thanks
enzo

Hi,
You can try multiple methods ( mostly non-standard), one is use the SRM function modules to update PO, when you send the data from external system, other method is PO response( send the changes from external system as PO response in SRM).
Hope above methods will resolve your issue.
Thank you

Create activity from external system

Hi
What is meant by creating activity from external system.
I need to work on an enhancement which deals with function module to create activity that can be called from external systems e.g. on demand.
I am not sure what does that exactly mean?
Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers... But is it possible to call transaction NOTIF_CREATE from an external system?
I have done something already so that those 3 fields will be automatically populated for a message sent from an external system.
I changed the screen and called FM BAPI_NOTIFICATION_CREATE(a remote enabled FM which is the one being used by transaction NOTIF_CREATE to create a message) inside FM BCOS_SEND_MSG.
I populated the category, subject and solution in the FM export parameters as well as the solution number in the sap data table. I put a destination also..
This FM calls another FM DNO_OW_CREATE_NOTIFICATION which is the one being used from the external system but do not cater the functionality to send the 3 fields that we need.
As you will notice, there are lots of standard objects that I've changed. =)
My problem now is that the system data sent is the same with the system data if you create the message using NOTIF_CREATE. Some system that were sent when a message is sent from an external system is missing but at least the sap system and client ID is sent. There is no external reference number also. But hopefullly, the users will accept it. Can't find any other solution to this.
Thanks,
Eric

Startrfc - SAP utility to invoke ABAP programs from External systems

We have used the startrfc uitlity that comes along with the SAP Presentation CD. This is bundled with the SAP RFC SDK kit. The startrfc utility can be used to invoke ABAP programs from external systems or servers.
When using the startrfc from the SAP server using the parameters
startrfc -h 10.60.0.31 -s 01 -c 100 -u USERNAME -p PASS -F <Function Module> -E TPPARAM=\usr\sap\trans\bin\tp_domain_<SID>.PFL -T LIST,300,w=list.txt
the desired results are achieved.
However when using the same startrfc with the exact parameters from another server we get the message " Incorrect user or password". If we use the SAP GUI from this server to connect to the SAP server using the same username and password we are able to connect to the SAP system.
Has anyone encountered any similar issues with Startrfc? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks,
~Nilesh

Hi NIlesh,
Did you check that the password and user ID entered are in capita letters?
Thanks and Regards,

What Zerome said is correct. Odi console is for managing and monitoring an Oracle Data Integrator run-time architecture and for browsing design-time objects.
you can refer for information on this link aswell.
