Other DB than MS SQL Server?

Hi guys,
is there any implementation experience available about installing SAP Biz-1 on a free RDBMS like mySQL or Firebird? Is this possible at all, pitfalls, workarounds? Any feedback is warmly appreciated!
THX, Harald

only databases supported are
MS SQL Server
Sybase
and soon DB2 Express
and as far as i last heard
the only database supported by the SDK
was MS SQL Server
so that would be a big pitfall

WT SynchManager instl. on a different Server other than SAP/SQL Server.

Hi,
Is it possible to move/install WebTools SynchManager on a different server other than the SAP/SQL Server? Please let us know.
Note:
1. We are aware of the recommendation: u201CInstall the SynchManager on the SAP Business One server on which the DI API is installedu201D in the "Business One Web Tools SynchManager Guide.pdf".
2. But, SAP/SQL Server at our Client is starving of RAM due to a high number of windows services/application trying to run at the same time (although the maximum amount of RAM possible under the current configuration is installed (4GB)).
3. So, we are evaluating as to which of these application (WebTools being one of them) can be moved to a different server.
Thanks and Regards,
Kafil Shumon.

Hi Kafil,
You can put the synchmanager on a different server as long as the DI API is installed and that server can access the B1 licensing server.

Partner Application written in other language than PL/SQL and Java

I have an application written in another language than PL/SQL or Java. I want to integrate this application as an Partner apps where I use the same user repository as Portal.
Can I integrate the application by calling a stored PL/SQL-procedure based on the PLSQL SSO APIs examples that authenticates the user based on the username/password in portal and redirects the user to the application ?
Are there any examples / references where this has been done ?
Jens

Check out the PDK referance for URL-Services, which allow you to integrate with any web based service/content.

ACE 4710 Probes on other servers than the real server

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a means to configure a probe that is independent of the real servers.
The aim is to configure a probe a real server but also probe another intermediate server which is not in the server farm.
The objective is to declare the real server down if its probe fails but also the probe to an intermediate server fails as well as a or condition.
From the document, there is no mention of it.
But is there a means to do it.
Thanks.

Hi Ashley,
i see it is not mentioned anywhere in document but i think ou should be able to bind two probes with real server of which one probe is actually probing another server.
I would configure one probe let's say TCP based and bind it with serverfarm. Then i would configure another probe TCP based and define IP address in that probe (the other server IP which we need to probe) and bind this probe with same serverfarm. Serverfarm will not have this rserver added. And then i would configure "fail-on-all" and test if that works for you.
i know you can set probe on redirect server/serverfarm which actually probes another real server so logically should work for normal host rserver as well. But i have never tested it myself.

Limitations of SRM-MDM by NOT using Windows + SQL Server

Hi all,
our consultants told us, that there are some sort of "limitations" if we install SRM-MDM other platforms than Windows + SQL Server; as example we were told, that e. g. the upload of BMECat files is not possible.
Is that true? If yes, where can I get a full list of "platform dependent" limitations?
We don't want to go for Windows nor SQL-Server if possible at all...
Thanx!

Markus

Hi
Incase you are using SRM 6.0, then ->
SAP SRM 6.0 is a big step forward for SRM: SRM 6.0 is the first SAP software to rely on the new user interface technology WebDynpro and the Web Application Server, rather than the previous ITS. It is also based on the completely new business rule framework (BRF) to define approval workflows. These changes are intended to improve usability and simplify workflow administration / customization, leading to better acceptance and lower TCO for our customers. However, the move to these new technologies is also a complex change and as a result, the product has experienced delays.
With our most recent development milestone - service pack 2 in mid-July 2007 - we have made lots of progress towards completion; however, we estimated that the product was still not yet ready for Ramp-Up. As a result, we decided to release the product only in beta shipment and to a very limited set of customers (14 in total) who are being closely monitored by our development organization. Seven of these customers are actually planning to go live on the current beta shipment.
Based on the progress made so far with Service Pack 2, we feel that we should be able to start the official Ramp-Up process on December 10th, 2007 - the target ship date for Service Pack 03. By that time, we should already have 3+ live customers, so new customers starting their projects will benefit from the experiences acquired from previous implementations.
Time plan and Recommendations
1. Ideally, we recommend that new and upgrade SRM customers wait for the start of Ramp-Up for SRM 6.0 SP03 (Dec 10th, 2007) rather than starting a project with the previous release SRM 5.0. SRM 6.0 offers many benefits compared to SRM 5.0 and should be easier to use + maintain. An Online scoping questionnaire will be available from mid October in the SAP Service Marketplace as usual.
2. The number of Beta shipment customers is strictly limited and therefore we do not intend to ship Service Pack 2 to any additional customers besides the 14 customers currently in Beta.
3. Implementation partners can request a demo license of the current support package 2 in the partner portal. They can set up their sandbox systems and familiarize with the new technology upfront before they enter into customer projects from Dec. 10.

T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."

would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."

DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
Jinchun Chen: "Good."
JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."

Is it possible to have different authentication mode for SQL Server Database Engine and corresponding SQL Server instance?

Hi,
I have installed the x64 SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with default settings and run MBSA 2.3 (using default settings too). It shows three SQL Server instances: MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS, SQLEXPRESS and SQLEXPRESS (32-bit). For the first, authentication

is the instance ID for the SQL Server Database Engine of the instance, TEST_DB", so in my case, it seems that MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS is the instance ID for SQL Server Database Engine of the SQLEXPRESS instance.
I have two questions:
1) How can it be that SQL Server DB Engine instance has different authentication mode than corresponding SQL Server Instance?
2) Why 32-bit instance reported although I installed only 64-bit version?
Also, this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/6b12c019-eaf0-402c-ab40-51d31dce968f/mbsa-23-reporting-sql-32bt-instance-is-running-in-mixed-mode-when-it-is-set-to-integrated?forum=MBSA question seems to be related to this
issue, but there is no answer :(.
Upd: Tried on clean Windows 8 installation and Windows 7 with the same result.

Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA. Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create
a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
Does this make any sense?
Any tips are greatly appreciated. The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
Thanks for your help.

Hello M,
Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
Hope this helps

Different versions of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition

Some of our business processes still use SQL Server 2005 and I need to install Developer Edition on my desktop.
I have following downloads available in my MSDN subscription (other than Itanium):
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - DVD (English) - 1 DVD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 64-bit Extended - 2x CD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 32-bit - 2x CD ISO
The desktop is running 64-bit OS, so I definitely want to install 64-bit version. However, I am not sure what this "Extended" version available on CD-s is. Is this the only 64-bit version in existence? Or are there 2 different 64-bit versions
- "Extended" and "Non-Extended" (with non-extended possibly available on DVD - I haven't downloaded any images yet)?

SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - DVD (English) - 1 DVD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 64-bit Extended - 2x CD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 32-bit - 2x CD ISO
The desktop is running 64-bit OS, so I definitely want to install 64-bit version. However, I am not sure what this "Extended" version available on CD-s is. Is this the only 64-bit version in existence? Or are there 2 different 64-bit versions - "Extended"
and "Non-Extended" (with non-extended possibly available on DVD - I haven't downloaded any images yet)?
SQL server 2005 is outdated so sorry if my answer is not to the point . First DVD version seems to me like installable which has both database engine and client tools present in it for installation
For second, SQL server 2005 installable was available in 2 CD's 1st CD was to install database engine/SSIS/SSAS/ SSRS features while second CD was to install specifically clint tools,books online legacy support . Its not possible to comment further without
looking at contents but I guess you can use 2nd one. CD 1 would have one part of installable and CD 2 would have second
And of course 3rd one is 32 bit of 2nd one.

Can I run a soft without install sql server?

I just wrote a winform C# program and use SQL server 2012 for data.
Can I run this program on other machine without install sql server ?
If I can't. Are there other program simpler than sql server help me run it ?
THANK ALL !

Agree with Nicolas. You need to modify connection string to point to proper server name. This might help in getting proper name of instance.

Using Clustered Storage on DFS - SQL Server reports insufficient space

We have a Clustered Storage Space setup within our DFS at \\ournamespace\shares\sofs. This server has 9TB of space, but the namespace root has only 100GB. When trying to migrate/restore databases larger than 100GB, SQL server complains about the storage
availability at the \\ournamespace\shares. Is there any way to tell SQL server that the complete path should be evaluated instead?
Our solution to this is to create a new namespace that is hosted by our CSV.

This is my restore command and the resulting error message:
Note here, I'm specifying the full path for the restore location, yet SQL server seems to complain about the "shares" namespace.

To Restrict SQL account from accessing Sql server via SSMS

Hi All,
We are planning to tighten the security of our SQL Server.
In the initial phase, we want to restrict all the SQL accounts(except sa) from accessing SQL Server via SSMS
Since the SQL passwords are used in the connection strings(plain text) of our .NET Applications, developers are able to see it and they are accessing SQL server through SSMS with the credentials in the connection string.
The requirement is, SQL accounts should only be accessing the databases through .NET applications and not through any other applications like SSMS, SQLCMD...etc
1) We tried "Logon Trigger", but later we came to know that there is security breach in it.
2) Application Roles - Password is plain text, again back to square one.
We are looking for an alternate. Please share some ideas.
Thanks & Regards,
K.P.Senthil Kumar

The basic presumption here is that there is on way you can tie a connection to an application as such. There is app_name(), but since this is passed from the application, the application can call itself whatever you want.
As long as it is only a matter of keeping business users out, you can solve the issue with some three-tiered solution. Either by having a true middle layer, or just having a web server, or the application running on Terminal Server or Citrix.
But you want to keep the developers out who work with the code. That makes it difficult to lock them out of the middle layer.
Then again, you say "our SQL Server" is that singular? Don't you have more than one SQL Server? One for developement, one for test and one for production? If you only want to keep the devs out from development, you have different usernames
and password for different environments, and they are read from config files. The config files for production should be well-protected.
By the way, only permitting sa from logging in from SSMS is bad idea. Rather, you should disable sa, and everyone should log in with their individual Windows account. And those who should perform system-administration tasks should be member of sysadmin.

SQL Server - Extract Error - OGG-00868 Supplemental logging is disabled

Hello,
We are trying to replicate from a SQL Server 2008 database to Oracle database, but when trying to start the extract process we are getting the following error message:
OGG-00868 Supplemental logging is disabled for database 'GoldenGate'. To enable logging, perform the following: 1) Set 'trunc. log on chkpt.' to false. 2) Create a full backup of the database. Please refer to the "Oracle GoldenGate For Windows and UNIX Administration Guide" for details.
I have read that for enabling the supplemental logging is enough to "add trandata table_name", and this is done, and the extract process we are using is the following:
EXTRACT cap_or4
SOURCEDB GoldenGate
TRANLOGOPTIONS MANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT
EXTTRAIL c:\GoldenGate\V28983-01-GG-111112-SQLServer-Windows-x64\dirdat\C4
TABLE GoldenGate.dbo.DES_T1;
And the 'trunc.log on chkpt' is set to false.
We don’t know what else to do, or to check... does anyone have any idea?!
Thank you very much, best regards,
Araitz.-

Have you followed all the process for installing as per the guide? clearly you missed something
Please follow below steps.
Installation & Configuration of Oracle GoldenGate for MS SQL Server:
Pre-requisites:
1.Change Data Capture (CDC) must be enabled for Oracle GoldenGate and will be enabled by Oracle GoldenGate by means of the ADD TRANDATA command.
2.SQL Server source database must be set to use the full recovery model.
3.Oracle GoldenGate does not support system databases.
4.After the source database is set to full recovery, a full database backup must be taken.
5.SQL Server 2008 ODBC/OLE DB: SQL Server Native Client 10.0 driver
6.Oracle GoldenGate processes can use either Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication to connect to a database.
7.Before installing Oracle GoldenGate on a Windows system, install and configure the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package. Make certain it
is the SP1 version of this package, and make certain to get the correct bit version for your server. This package installs runtime components of Visual C++
Libraries. For more information, and to download this package, go to http://www.microsoft.com.
Privileges:
1.Required SQL Server privileges for Manager when using Windows authentication
Extract(source system)
BUILTIN\Administrators account must be a member of the SQL Server fixed server role System Administrators.
Account must be a member of the SQL Server fixed server role System Administrators
Replicat (target system)
BUILTIN\Administrators account must be at least a member of the db_owner fixed database role of the target database.
Account must be at least a member of the db_owner fixed database role of the target database.
2.Required SQL Server privileges for Extract and Replicat when using SQL Server authentication
Extract - Member of the SQL Server fixed server role System Administrators.
Replicat - At least a member of the db_owner fixed database role of the target database.
Downloading Oracle GoldenGate
Download the appropriate Oracle GoldenGate build to each system that will be part of the Oracle GoldenGate configuration.
1. Navigate to http://edelivery.oracle.com.
2. On the Welcome page:
--Select your language.
--Click Continue.
3. On the Export Validation page:
--Enter your identification information.
--Accept the Trial License Agreement (even if you have a permanent license).
--Accept the Export Restrictions.
--Click Continue.
4. On the Media Pack Search page:
--Select the Oracle Fusion Middleware Product Pack.
--Select the platform on which you will be installing the software.
--Click Go.
5. In the Results List:
--Select the Oracle GoldenGate Media Pack that you want.
--Click Continue.
6. On the Download page:
--Click Download for each component that you want. Follow the automatic download
process to transfer the mediapack.zip file to your system.
Installing the Oracle GoldenGate files
1. Unzip the downloaded file(s) by using WinZip or an equivalent compression product.
2. Move the files in binary mode to a folder on the drive where you want to install Oracle GoldenGate. Do not install Oracle GoldenGate into a folder that contains spaces in its name, even if the path is in quotes. For example:
C:\“Oracle GoldenGate” is not valid.
C:\Oracle_GoldenGate is valid.
3. From the Oracle GoldenGate folder, run the GGSCI program.
4. In GGSCI, issue the following command to create the Oracle GoldenGate working
directories.
CREATE SUBDIRS
a.Create the necessary working directories for GG.
Source DB:
GGSCI>create subdirs
Target DB:
GGSCI>create subdirs
Install the GoldenGate Manager process
1.Create a GLOBALS parameter file
--Execute the following commands from the <install location>.
GGSCI> EDIT PARAMS ./GLOBALS
--In the text editor, type the following:
MGRSERVNAME <mgr service>
Using a GLOBALS file in each GoldenGate instance allows you to run multiple Managers as services on Windows. When the service is installed, the Manager name
is referenced in GLOBALS, and this name will appear in the Windows Services control panel.
Note! Check to ensure that the GLOBALS file has been added in the GoldenGate installation directory and that it does not have an extension.
--Execute the following command to exit GGSCI.
GGSCI> EXIT
2. Install the Manager service
Execute the following command to run GoldenGate’s INSTALL.EXE . This executable installs Manager as a Windows service and adds GoldenGate events to the
Windows Event Viewer.
Shell> INSTALL ADDSERVICE ADDEVENTS
Note: Adding the Manager as a service is an optional step used when there are multiple environments on the same system or when you want to control the name
of the manager for any reason.
Configuring an ODBC connection
A DSN stores information about how to connect to a SQL Server database through ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). Create a DSN on each SQL Server source
and target system.
NOTE: Replicat will always use ODBC to query the target database for metadata.
To create a SQL Server DSN
1. Run one of the following ODBC clients:
--If using a 32-bit version of Oracle GoldenGate on a 64-bit system, create the DSN by running the ODBCAD32.EXE client from the %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64
folder.
--If using a 64-bit version of Oracle GoldenGate on a 64-bit system, create a DSN by running the default ODBCAD32.EXE client in Control Panel>Administrative
Tools>Data Sources (ODBC).
--If using a version of Oracle GoldenGate other than the preceding, use the default ODBC client in Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC).
2. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box of the ODBC client, select the System DSN tab, and then click Add.
3. Under Create New Data Source, select the correct SQL Server driver as follows:
--SQL Server 2000: SQL Server driver
--SQL Server 2005: SQL Native Client driver
--SQL Server 2008: SQL Server Native Client 10.0 driver
4. Click Finish. The Create a New Data Source to SQL Server wizard is displayed.
5. Supply the following:
--Name: Can be of your choosing. In a Windows cluster, use one name across all nodes in the cluster.
--Server: Select the SQL Server instance name.
6. Click Next.
7. For login authentication, select With Windows NT authentication using the network login ID for Oracle GoldenGate to use Windows authentication, or select
With SQL Server authentication using a login ID and password entered by the user for Oracle GoldenGate to use database credentials. Supply login information
if selecting SQL Server authentication.
8. Click Next.
9. If the default database is not set to the one that Oracle GoldenGate will connect to,
click Change the default database to, and then select the correct name. Set the other
settings to use ANSI.
10. Click Next.
11. Leave the next page set to the defaults.
12. Click Finish.
13. Click Test Data Source to test the connection.
14. Close the confirmation box and the Create a New Data Source box.
15. Repeat this procedure from step 1 on each SQL Server source and target system.
Setting the database to full recovery model
Oracle GoldenGate requires a SQL Server source database to be set to the full recovery model.
To verify or set the recovery model
1. Connect to the SQL Server instance with either Enterprise Manager for SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2005 and 2008.
2. Expand the Databases folder.
3. Right-click the source database, and then select Properties.
4. Select the Options tab.
5. Under Recovery, set Model to Full if not already.
6. If the database was in Simple recovery or never had a Full database backup, take a Fulldatabase backup before starting Extract.
7. Click OK.
Enabling supplemental logging
These instructions apply to new installations of Oracle GoldenGate for all supported SQL Server versions. You will enable supplemental logging with the ADD
TRANDATA command so that Extract can capture the information that is required to reconstruct SQL operations on the target. This is more information than
what SQL Server logs by default.
--SQL Server 2005 updated to CU6 for SP2 or later: ADD TRANDATA calls the sys.sp_extended_logging stored procedure.
--SQL Server 2005 pre-CU6 for SP2: ADD TRANDATA creates the following:
A replication publication named [<source database name>]: GoldenGate<source database name> Publisher. To view this publication, look under Replication>Local
Publications in SQL Server Management Studio. This procedure adds the specified table to the publication as an article.
A SQL Server Log Reader Agent job for the publication. This job cannot run concurrently with an Extract process in this configuration.
--SQL Server 2008: ADD TRANDATA enables Change Data Capture (CDC) and creates a minimal Change Data Capture on the specified table.
a.Oracle GoldenGate does not use the CDC tables other than as necessary to enablesupplemental logging.
b.As part of enabling CDC, SQL Server creates two jobs per database: <dbname>_capture and <dbname>_cleanup. The <dbname>_capture job adjusts the secondary
truncation point and captures data from the log to store in the CDC
tables. The <dbname>_cleanup job ages and deletes data captured by CDC.
c.Using the TRANLOGOPTIONS parameter with the MANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT option for Extract removes the <dbname_capture> job, preventing the overhead of
the job loading the CDC tables.
d.The alternative (using TRANLOGOPTIONS with NOMANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT) requires the SQL Server Agent to be running and requires the <dbname>_capture and <dbname>_cleanup jobs to be retained. You will probably need to adjust the <dbname>_cleanup data retention period if the default of three days is not acceptable for storage concerns.
To enable supplemental logging
1. On the source system, run GGSCI.
2. Log into the database from GGSCI.
DBLOGIN SOURCEDB <DSN>[, USERID <user>, PASSWORD <password>]
Where:
-- SOURCEDB <DSN> is the name of the SQL Server data source.
-- USERID <user> is the Extract login and PASSWORD <password> is the password that is required if Extract uses SQL Server authentication.
3. In GGSCI, issue the following command for each table that is, or will be, in the Extract configuration. You can use a wildcard to specify multiple table
names, but not owner names.
ADD TRANDATA <owner>.<table>
NOTE:The Log Reader Agent job cannot run concurrently with the GoldenGate Extract process.
4.Configuration
a.Create and start manager on the source and the destination.
