Oracle Third Party Tools and Oracle Database

Hi
There are ample third party tools that can be used with an Oracle Database. But does Oracle have some support programs (recommendations which tools are best along with Oracle Database).
So sort of link or document would be a great help.
Adith

Oracle isn't responsible if you have a bad experience with a third party tool (i.e. the tool doesn't do what you want it to do as well as you'd like it to do it). If the database is the source of the problem, Oracle support is happy to help diagnose and resolve the problem, though you may need to provide a test case that doesn't involve the third party tool. It's certainly not a violation of any license agreements to use a third party tool unless you allow the tool to do something you're not allowed to do (i.e. access the AWR repository if you haven't licensed that access).

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..

Open Hub Destination-Third Party Tool

dear all,
can any one guide me as to how data(master data in particular) from bw can be transferred to oracle data base using open hub destiantion.is rfc connection between bw and third part tool enough,do we have to maintain the same structure in third party tool before executing DTP and how can this be done??
i am now able to transfer data from bw into a flat file and also to data base (bw) and not aware of the this functionality-third party tool .any light thrown on this area is welcome and points will be awarded ,
thanks ,

Some light at the end of tunnel for sure...
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 via 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.

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.

Form to interact with Third party tool

Hello All
I an working with Forms 10g. I want my form to interact third party tool which is installed on the client's machine. My aim is to use the form to pass search criteria to the third party tool and display the results on the form. Is it possible to acheive this with available code such as Webutil or any other? Are there any documents which describe how to acheive this?
Thanks and Regards
Kranthi

is the communication with the other tool based on OLE2 or such techniques or is it as simple as host-command with parameters?
In both cases webutil is the first approach for you. client_host and client_ole are packages and procedures, which gives you the power to work with the client-pc-applications.
here is the link to further doc's

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

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.

HI Mike,
If you have third party Document Management System, then you can post two different message, i.e. service order in transaction details of the third party tool with link to document which would be posted to third party Document management server.
If you don't have third party document management system and what to use sap infrastructure, then you don't need to maintain attachment, maintain the link between the third party tool and SAP document repository, with some login utilities.

Problems with third party package and file access

I am using a third party package that allows me to decode
multipart forms that I use to upload files to our server.
I have been able to write my own code (JSP) that both reads and
writes to our filesystem. However, when I try to upload a file
using the third party package the method I am using fails with
the following IO exception: The error message is "access is
denied." But the files get written and are usable (even binary
files). I have checked the directories and all the dirs I am
writing to have read, write and execute permission.
I have access to the code so when I duplicate the actual
methods used for writing (FileOutputStream.write(foo)) in my
JSP, it writes fine without exceptions. In fact, I use
FileOutputStream.write() in other code and it works fine. My
question is: why would FileOutputStream work in packages we have
developed and not in a third-party package. I have added the
codebase and filePermissions to <weblogic_home>\weblogic.policy
without any changes.
I am running WLS 5.1 and NT 4.0 with SP5.
Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
thanks for any and all help,
saulj

Currency Conversion using third party tool

Hi,
I am trying to access BW from a third party tool and so far been quite successfull accessing BW Infocubes and Bex Queries by using OLAP BAPIs. However my customer wants to use currency conversion as it is available in BEX in the third party tool as well. I need some thoughts in this direction from experts who have worked on Business Objects and BW integration.
I believe Business Objects has a similar interface with BW using OLAP BAPIs. Is there a currency conversion functionality available in Business Objects for BW? Would really appreciate if somebody, who has tried out this feature, can share some of his/her experience.
Thanks,
Anurag.

Jean,
We use Maestro for all our scheduling scripts. To start\stop the
environment and start\stop applications. We create a shell script that uses
escript to start/stop applications. Maestro just calls the shell scripts
and monitor it for completion. I think you have to write the shell script
in a standard way to return an error if it does not finish properly. Here
is an example:
#!/bin/csh
source /appls/forte/fortedef.csh
$FORTE_ROOT/install/bin/start_nodemgr -fm "(x:300000)" -e TR2ProdEnv
ps -fu forte | grep -v grep|grep nodemgr>/appls/forte/production/scripts/KBB
set KBB=/appls/forte/production/scripts/KBB
if (-z $KBB) then
exit 1
else
exit 0
endif
Hope this helps.

What are the third party tools available for Encryption in Oracle database?

Dear All,
Can you please help me with the below question?
What are the third party tools available for Encryption in Oracle database? Please let me know if you know their feedback and also licensing/cost information

Why would you spend money to purchase a third-party tool that will be, almost by definition, less secure than the tools inside the product you already own and paid for?
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/pkgs/dbms_crypto.html
But were I to have any to recommend one I would not do so without knowing information you seem to consider unimportant such as:
1. Operating system

3. What type of data needs to be secured
4. What level of security is required

Need connectivity of SAP Oracle with Third Party tool with dsn

Hi Friends,
We need to access SAP's Oracle database with third party tool with the help of dsn creation. For that we need to create 2 staging tables and need a new segment for these tables. Our data will move from SAP transactions to these 2 tables and we want to fetch this data via dsn into another third party S/W.
I am unaware of such kind of working, can you please help me how to create new segment and how to create dsn for accessing tables in this segment.
Our requirement is as follow.
The staging tables are required in the SAP database with user name and password. The user should have all access to the staging table only.
Requesting your kind help on this issue. Please suggest for further processing of activity.
Rgds, Krishan Raheja.

Hi,
Common way to integrate SAP (database) with third party Application is to use and implement SAP Connector (Java or .Net).
Using this, you can fetch the data from SAP database to use it in Third party application.
As per my understanding the method you mentioned, will void the SAP database license term.
So Please check before doing such configuraiton. Also that method is NOT recommended..
