Oracle to SAP, worth it?

Hello folks ,
Ive been reading up about all the advice regarding the SAP training/certification and though there seems no black or white ,Im hoping to get some useful inputs from the experienced folks .
I have worked with an IT biggie for 3 years as an oracle apps functional consultant in financials , post which i went to business school (mba in finance)in europe and have just gotten back . I have'nt been getting any opportunities with my oracle apps background since i did not have any implementation experience( 2 support projects) and so i was looking at doing the SAP FI training/certification in Bangalore considering i have a background in ERP and finance as well .
Though i was initially pretty confident about making the big investment ,im still unsure if i should continue looking for opportunities in Oracle or do the SAP training .Comments/advice would be much appreciated!!
Thanks and regards

It is always recommended to shift to SAP, considering the number of opportunities that you have.
You also have ERP experience that would be a plus.
Initial investment may be little big. However, once you get good opportunity, you can recoup the same.
You will have double advantage with both ERP skills, very few people you will find in such class.

Connecting ORACLE 10G, SAP R/3 to Xcelsius dashboard

Dear All,
I have a scenario with a customer, where in we have to develop an XCelsius dashboard over Oracle 10g source. Customer is keen on building dashboards directly on top of Oracle 10G (or) SAP R/3.
Could you please let me know - which approach is good for Performance of Dash boards?
1)ORACLE 10G>NON SAP Universe>WEBI Report>Live Office> XCelsius
2)Oracle 10GSAP R/3 (Using of Data Services)>ABAP Function Module>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office> XCelsius.
3)Oracle 10G>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office-->XCelsius
Thanks and regards,
Raghu

HI Raghu,
1)ORACLE 10G>NON SAP Universe>WEBI Report>Live Office> XCelsius
Here we can make use of the background scheduling of webi reports and use latest instance if the volume of data is more in the tables.
As webi is a very good tool we can consolidate data and optimise the performence of the dashboard..
Note: Universe designing should be done very carefully.
2))Oracle 10g/SAP R/3 (Using of Data Services)>ABAP Function Module/Infoset>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office> XCelsius.
SAP R/3>function module/Infoset>Crystal repotrs 2008->liveoffice>dashboard.
Here we can make use of the background scheduling of Crystal reports and use latest instance if the volume of data is more in the tables.
it is good if you implement all the logic in ABAP side and simplify the work at Crystal report side so that the dashboard performence is good if the refresh option is ONDEMAND.
Note: ABAP consultant is needed.
3)Oracle 10G>Crystal Reports2008>Live Office-->XCelsius
In this case you have to implement all you logic in Crystal reports and schedule the data and use latest instance for better performence of the dashboard.
Decision has to be made depending on the volume of data logic behind report to display the final data..
if you are using webi in ur flow you can have better staging and adhoc analysis can be given to the user .
Case 2 is also good if ur making every thing at ABAP level .
i dnt suggest 3rd case.
Hope this helps you ..

Authorization for Administation ofr oracle for SAP

Hi,
I want to know the transactions & authorizations required to administrate the oracle from SAP frontend.
It is very helpful for me if anyone give me link or tell me from where I can start?
Regards,
Rajesh

Rajesh,
Indeed, you can do very little from the SAP gui as far as administration is concerned. However, you can get useful information on the database status
db02 : Tablespace sizes, history, critical objects, missing indexes
db03: Oracle parameters
db12: Backup logs
db13: Other database administration job logs and scheduling
db17: Configure what is being checked during jobs like database checks
db20: Influence how stats are calculated
st04: Memory information on the database
I hope this helps

Good book for Oracle with SAP

We run SAP on Oracle 9.
We lost our dba for oracle / sap.
I am a sql server person and new to oracle.
Can anyone recommend any good books on just oracle or even
something with oracle and SAP ?
Thanks,
Jon
PS: Does not have to be the latest oracle 11 but anything at 9/10. I need to really pick up on using SQLPlus, and understand the files associated with oracle: table spaces, redo logs, archives, etc.

i want to take the data from oracle system which in linux to sap r/3.please provided me some example and material.

Hi Rohit,
Your Scenario Like
JDBC>XI-->SAP R/3
Use JDBC Adapter sender side and configure comunicatuion channel,
First configure appropriate driver ORACLE,MYSQL,SQL Server
Use Visual Admin to install driver.
Then write appropriate statement to select data.
Receiver side use IDCO Adapter, identify which idioc are you using like orders04,MATMAS05 like that.
Configure.
its really simple to complete this interface.

Oracle to SAP BI with BCS u2013 Best Data flow Design.

Hi,
We are a SAP implementation team. We are @ Blue Print stage. My client is a RETAIL Business Gaint. Client has 50 % of Transaction data and Master data in Oracle data base. Now we are moving to BI 7.0 and also has plans to use SAP-BCS.
We would like to map all the existing Oracle tables to BI. Provide any clue regarding the best Data flow (From Oracle 10G to BI 7.0).
Your quick and valuable suggestion/ links are highly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Bab

Hi Ashok,
You have mentioned that you have a Oracle 10g system as a data inflow which perfectly sets the platform to extract the data from the Oracle system to SAP BW system.
This Can be done through the DB connect ,through where you could select the necessary tables and form them as a datasource in BI system,further creating the usual BI objects on top of the DS.
Once the Data is in BI ,we could pull the BI cube or form a replica of the cube in BCS application format to use it in the BCS environment.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rajesh.

DB on Aix/Oracle, CI Sap on Windows : supported or not ?

I'm looking for informations about a scenario where the Database is on Oracle/Aix, while the Sap central Instance is on Windows 2003 64 bit.
I found note 80266, but it refers to a link on sapnet now replaced with the advise to come here in SDN.
I'm not able to find out the white paper indicated on the note : "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous R/3 Systems".
I found several notes, but it seems they refers always to the installation of secondary R/3 As on Windows while the R/3 CI is on Unix as well the database.
Any advise ?

Thansk for the feedback.
My doubt is that, as I remember, during a distributed installation of the DB istance the sapinst will ask to access some directory from the R/3 central Instance host.
Do I have to install SAMBA on the unix side just for the installation phase ? Or I can do some workaround to avoid to use SAMBA ?
regards

Data base oracle in SAP

Hi,
The combination of all dimension id's ideally make the primary(composite) key of the fact table.
it seems that there is a database restriction of 16 fields to be combined to make a joint primary key.
I heard that Oracle table join relation is the restriction of 16. I mean foregn key relations from a table ( fact table ) can not exceede 16. and thus we have 16 dimensions as the restriction..
It is ORacle limitation.. ( data base )
Any data base can not have more than 16 Fields as primary key in a table and hence 16 dimentions as MAX limit..for our facttable / cube.In database tables level we have only 16 primary keys, thats the reason why we hav 16 dimensions in infocube.
( remember oracle is the database we use for SAP ).
Rds
vairava ganesh.G

Yes, you understand the issue. Not sure about all the other DBs, I think they have 16 column index limits as well. Even if one of them would support more columns in the index, I doubt SAP would reengineer the BW to support them, until/unless that DB had a major portion of the BW installations.
