Querying SAP Data using native i tools

Can a standard IBM tool like Query/400, SQL, etc. access SAP data? Is the data actually stored in DB2 or in some other form? If it is, what library would you look for?
Thanks.

Hi BillNGS,
in theory yes, but not with call ...
You could use STARTRFC or start RFCs on a differerent approach. You could use the not reliable SAPEVT and so on. I would say, for such kind of things, you need a bit consulting in order to discuss the different options and then to make a useful decision for your company.

XML generation with SAP data using XML schema - Reg

Hello experts,
My requirement is , SAP( ztable data ) data has to be transferred to third party software folder.Third party using XML so they requires output from SAP in XML format.
For that third party software guys told me that they will give their own XML schema to me.I have to generate XML file with SAP data using their XML schema.
Generating XML file with their Schema should be underlined.
I studied that call transformation statement helps for this.
Even then i don't have clear idea about this topic.
Please brief me about how to use their XML schema to generate XML with my own sap data.
Thanks in advance experts.

How to make link between xcelsius components with sap data using Web servic

Hi all,
I have a doubt regarding connection between Xcelsius components and SAP data.
I created one Web service using Function module and made a connection between xcelsius and that web service using binding URL. It shows imput and output parameters perfectly.
But I cant get any idea as to how to connect Xcelsius components with these parameters.
Can anybody help me out..
please its urgent.
Thanks,
Simadri

Have you bound your output parameters to ranges of cells? Select the item, then click the icon to the right of the Insert In: box and select the cells.
Add a spreadsheet component to your chart and bind it to the cells, then preview the model. Do you see the data coming through?
If you do, then you can click File > Snapshot > Export Excel Data. Then close Preview mode, and import data from spreadsheet and select the sheet you just exported. This gives you real data to work with when designing the dashboard.
Hope that helps.

Query SAP Database with Native Sql.

Hi,
I would like to query the table MARA with native sql and return all headings and data
Select * from MARA where MATNR = '00000000151515'
<i>I need this to be able to TEST my Sql statements.</i>
In SqlServer you have the Query Analyser where I can do just this, but is there some nice in SAP Tool for this as well ?
[Unfortanely I can't connect to SAP_U01 database from QA...]
//Martin

Hi Martin,
maybe you give ST05 a try: last button gives the possibility to enter a SQL-statement directly - and for explanation it has to be executed (somehow).

Modify SAP data using Web Dynpro for ABAP

Experts,
I have a question. We all have working in web Dynpro to create report.
I was trying to display the data in table and update the data.
When I click on Save button the data should be saved in the SAP table.
SAP table may be standard or user-defined table.
Any idea of how to do it???
Answers will b rewarded.
Thanks in Advance
Edited by: Router on Mar 11, 2008 12:06 PM

Hi,
The solution to this is very similar to the reports that we write.
1. Create a context node from the dictionary element in the view of the webdynpro component.
2. Now you may be displaying/editing this data in the form of a table in the view layout. For this create a table in the layout and bind the fields of the context to the node you created from the dictionary table in the context.
3. In the layout you also want to have a button SAVE. on the event of this button. Write the code from code wizard where in
a. Read the context of the dictionary table from the context.
b. call method
CALL METHOD lo_nd_group->get_elements
RECEIVING
set = lt_ddictable.
c. update the database table using the internal table lt_ddictable.
Hope you find this helpul.

SAP Backup using Unix commands / tools

Hi,
We want to include file system backup process as part of our backup strategy. To test the waters, we are planning to take a backup of the at filesystems level. Following are the filesystems in our production systems. We have a test server (hostname is different), without any filesystems created beforehand. I want to know: 1. Which filesystems will be required from the below:
Filesystem    GB blocks      Used      Free %Used Mounted on

GILSAPED:/usr/sap/trans     20.00     17.54      2.46   88% /usr/sap/trans
2. Is it possible to directly backup the filesystems (like /dev/oracleGSPlv)? This requirement is because, when I backup (using tar) /oracle, all the folders in /oracle, like /oracle/GSP, /oracle/GSP/sapdata1 etc, are also backed up. I do not want it. I would like to backup the filesystems directly.
3. Which unix backup tools are used to backup the individual filesystems?
4. How do we restore the filesystems to the test server? Thanks for your advise. Abdul Edited by: Abdul Rahim Shaik on Feb 8, 2010 12:10 PM

Hi,
I am not sure about your OS as you have not mentioned it...
If it is HP-UX then you can use "fbackup" backup for filesystem...
and IGNITE to backup volume groups..
fbackup will backup the filesystem only... but IGNITE backup creates bootable media for recovery...
With IGNITE (make_tape_recovery) backup you can backup individual volume group.
you can see the man pages for the details...
#man fbackup
#man make_tape_recovery
It will be more easy to guide you if you provide your OS and Filesystem layout and what you need to backup...
If you still want to use "tar" command for backup, use "--no-recursion" option to backup single directory

Could this be some sort of incompatibility between DG4MSQL version 11.2.0.3.0 and RDBMS version 11.2.0.2.0?
I did not find anything relevant by searching, really (apart from one thread suggesting that this could be caused by misconfigured Linux OS, but my platform is AIX)

I created test table and inserted data (using FreeTDS tsql tool):
locale is "en_US.UTF-8"
locale charset is "UTF-8"
1> use imosprod
2> go
1> create table TEST_MSSQL (PKEY integer, DATA varchar(20))
2> go
1> insert into TEST_MSSQL values (1000,'Data for key 1000')
2> go
1> insert into TEST_MSSQL values (2000,'Data for key 2000')
2> go
1> select * from TEST_MSSQL
2> go
PKEY    DATA
1000    Data for key 1000
2000    Data for key 2000
(2 rows affected)
Then, I queried test table with:
1) DG4ODBC 11.2.0.2 + IBM-branded DataDirect ODBC driver,
2) DG4MSQL 11.2.0.2 and
3) DG4MSQL 11.2.0.3

Mybe i need to build a procedure in th "host" db and use its own commands to update?
Thanks,
koby

Hello Kobi,
Which release of SAP are you woking on?
If you're on ECC6.0, instead you using Native SQL to call the stored procs of external DBs you can use the [ADBC APIs |http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_702/en/abenadbc_procedure.htm](CL_SQL* classes).

How to query XML data stored in a CLOB column

I don't know XMLDB, so I have a dumb question about querying XML data which is saved as CLOB in a table.
I have a table (OLAP_AW_PRC), with a CLOB column - AW_XML_TMPL_VAL
This column contains this xml data - [click here|http://www.nasar.net/aw.xml]
Now I want to query the data using the xml tags - like returning the name of AW. This is where I am having trouble, how to query the data from AW_XML_TMPL_VAL clob column.
The following query generates error:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed.
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00229: input source is empty
SELECT
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/LongName') as "AWNAME"
from
OLAP_AW_PRC,
table(xmlsequence(extract (xmltype(AW_XML_TMPL_VAL), '/AWXML/AWXML.content/Create/ActiveObject/AW'))) x
where
extractValue(value(x) , '/AW/Name') = 'OMCR4'
- Nasar

Mark,
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
After doing @Name in both places (SELECT and WHERE clause) it worked.
Now I have one more question.
There are multiple DIMENSION tags in my xml, and I want to see the NAME attribute values for all of those DIMENSIONs. The following query returns
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node.
Cause: Given XPath points to more than one node.
Action: Rewrite the query so that exactly one node is returned.
SELECT
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/@Name') as "AW",
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/Dimension/@Name') as "DIMENSIONS"
from
OLAP_AW_PRC,
table(xmlsequence(extract (xmltype(AW_XML_TMPL_VAL), '/AWXML/AWXML.content/Create/ActiveObject/AW'))) x
where
extractValue(value(x) , '/AW/@Name') = 'OMCR4'

Querying latest date

I have some data regarding transaction and I need the a list of clients who have not done any transactions in the past 12 months and the latest date a transaction was done. When I am querying the data using the follwoing query
Select Distinct C.Clcode, Clname, Clsurname, Clidcheck, Clresnamno, Claddstreet, Cltown, Clpstcde, Clcountry, Max (Trdat_time) maxdate
from Client_info c, Dealing_records d
where c.Clcode = d.Clcode
and Trdat_time < sysdate-356
group by C.Clcode, Clname, Clsurname, Clidcheck, Clresnamno, Claddstreet, Cltown, Clpstcde, Clcountry
I am getting a particular attribute that has done a transaction in the past 12 months, but the query is giving me also the latest date before the past 12 months and I do not want that
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Upgrade project : from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 by using SAP Data Services

Hi All,
My client is upgrading from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0
We are planning to use SAP Data Services(Data Integrator) in the upgrade plan from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 for Data Migration.
we have no idea whether we can use this SAP Data Services(Data Integrator) in SAP upgrade data migration.
The bottom line is we have to make use this Data Services (Data Integrator) product in our upgrade plan for Data Migration.
Please tell us if anybody already used it such kind of scenario in a data migration project with Data Services(Data Integrator).
If we can use Data Service(Data Integrator) what are the pros and cons in using this Data Services(Data Integrator).
Thank You,
Ashok

My opinion is you would want to utilize SAP tools to port the data - our SAP BASIS administrator is out this week but we can provide exact tool names when he returns. ELM (External List Management), IDOC are some of the tools.
You could use DS/DI to export, cleanse, deduplicate the records prior to importing with SAP tools if that is your end goal.
We also offer a data quality tool that extends DS/DI to cleanse/deduplicate name/address records as they are entered into the system. It also comes with batch tools to cleanse/dedup the entire systems name/address information. See Data Quality Management for SAP for further details.

How to Retrive data Form Third party tool & up lode in SAP

HI Friends,
My client was implementing sap & parlay .NET for HR module .
my client requirement was what ever amount he payed for Employees that should also uplode in sap.
In SAP he is treating employee as Vendor .
so please guide me how can I Retrive data from third party tool & how can i uploaded in sap .
Regards,
Reddy

Hi,
Third Party Tool must be having some features of downloading data in a format like Excel.
In SAP Side, this File is going to be your input...Now you can try different options:
1) Identify the IDOC that serves your purpose and populate the idoc and fire an Inbound IDOC.
2) Run a BDC for your relevant Txn Code by uploading the Third Party generated Excel data into an internal Table.
3) Use an Standard BAPI to upload data into SAP.
4) If possible, Use an SAP Provided Direct Input program to pump data in SAP.
You need to give the expected format of Excel to the Third Party user generating the Excel for you.
