SQL Express LocalDB as Back-end for MS Access

Can a MS Access front-end database be connected to the new SQL Express LocalDB backend on the same machine?
If the answer is YES, where do I find information about the driver/connection string?
This is what I’m trying to accomplish. I have a project that uses MS Access to collect data using stationary PCs located far from the actual data collection site. The use of Tablet PCs with the use of wireless network has been suggested to make data entry
more efficient so data collection is done at the point of inspection. The problem is that MS Access was not build to transmit data/be used in a wireless network environment, so my idea was to use the same MS Access front end (to save time by not building anther
FE and keep same interface for user) with a LocalDB as back end on the Tablet PC and have the LocalDB either at time interval send the data to synch to a network replica backend for everybody use.
If answer is NO, suggest a feasible approach with any other product of way to accomplish this data transmission.
Just so this post question is clearer a SQL Server is not be permitted in this site.
Thanks

Customizing a generic user on back-end for all portals users HR, is it pos

Customizing a generic user on back-end for all portals users HR, is it possible ?
Hi,
With SAP ECC 6.0, on HR environment, I need to create more 4.000 portals users.
I would like to find a customizing to create one generic user (with rule ESS / MSS) on back-end and create (import) 4.000 users on portal.
I think its should be the best practice to maintain userss access.
- What is your opinion on that ? Is-it possible to customizing this ?
- Have you a solution ? What is the custonizing to create ?
Thanks for you answers.

Attachment transfer of PO from SRM to Back end for extended classic scenario

Hi Experts,
We are using the SRM 7.0 with EHP 701 and ECC 6 , we have a SRM requirement where we need to transfer the attachment of a PO to back end ECC. I tried to implement the note 1594966 , but it doesn't work . we are using Extended classic scenario. Please suggest some SAP notes or the procedure to be followed to achieve this.
Thanks ,
Aishwarya.M

As far as I am aware this functionality of transferring attachment is not supported in Ext classic scneario
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1873708
Also I suggest you should debug and see if its sending attachment from SRM if yes then
could be something missing at ECC side , To debug use this
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=340264144
You may also check in SXI_monitor and see if attachment is being recieved and sent from SRM and ECC respectively
Are you configuring this for the 1 st time or its an error which u encountered?
You must raise a NOte to SAP for the same till a solution is found .
This one is another which you can check ..

Attachment missing in back end for purchase order

Hi all,
We are using SRM 5.0 SP10 extended classic scenario.
I have created a shopping cart with attachment. A local purchase order has been successfully created and i can find the attachment in it.
When i check in the backend the purchase order doesnt contain the attachment.
I have made the required changes in BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK. I have made necessary changes in DC10,DC20 and DC30.
I have checked the related threads in SDN but couldnt find any help.
Please let me know if this works only for classic scenario or the attachments can even be sent to backend in extended classic scenari as well. If yes please let me know what else needs to be done to be able to view the attachment in the backend.
Thanks,
Zubair.

Hi Sanjeev,
Thanks for your reply. I have looked into both the BAdis. I couldnt understand how bbp_driver_determine BAdi could be useful to this scenario.
However i looked at bbp_ecs_po_out BAdi. It has IT_ATTACH as importing parameter but i couldnt make out how this BAdi could be used to transfer attachment to backend. It doesnt have a relevant exporting or changing parameter.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Zubair.

Install SQL Express With MDT 2012 now or wait for SCCM and full SQL Server?

We are planning to get SCCM 2012 R2 in several months and it will come with SQL Server 2012 when it is installed and configured at that time.
If we would like to start experimenting with using a database in MDT 2012 now, can we go ahead and set up a database in SQL Express and start using it for deployments now or should we wait for SQL server?
Can the database created in standalone MDT 2012 with SQL Express be migrated to SQL Server 2012 and SCCM 2012R2 or would we need to start over with a new database when we get SQL Server and SCCM?

Using SQL Express should be fine. You can export the database from there and import it into a full SQL Server install later if you want to preserve the content.

Help with an SQL Expression - Return field value where Datetime is Min or First datetime

Hello,
I'm extracting results for a patient population.
I have 6 SQL expressions that pull back the first date for specific procedures or Medications being ordered.
These Expressions work perfect - One of the expressions return the first time a lab was ordered.
I'm using SQL that return
Min(OrderDatetime)
From OrderTable
Where
LABCode = XXX
I've now been ask to return the value of this lab result.
Question: How do I write an SQL expression that return the Lab value of the Min(OrderDatetime)
Example Data
PATID* LABID * OrderDatetime * ResultValue
Pat1*133 * 12/12/2013 11:00:pm * 77
Pat1*145 * 12/12/2013 11:45:pm * 45
Pat1*147 * 12/13/2013 12:10:AM * 78
I was to return 77
Thanks

Client Copy back-end system

Hi Guys,
We have made a client copy of the back-end system of SRM (SRM 5.0). Only the back-end and not SRM has been copied.
After replication all the master- and customizing data again to SRM from the 'new' back-end I have found an issue with updating the suppliers.
It seems that I can not remove old business partners from SRM with BUPA_TEST_DELETE if these are used already in SC's. However the new copy of the back-end system has completely different suppliers we need to use in SRM. This causes for an inconsistency with the supplier numbers, as we want to keep the R/3 numbers in SRM.
Does anyone has a good idea how to proceed? That is, how can I remove the business partners (suppliers) in SRM which were used before the client copy of R/3, so that I will be able to completely get all the relevant 'new' vendors from the R/3 system after the client copy.
When I execute BUPA_TEST_DELETE it will end up in error saying the suppliers can not be removed. Do I need to archive all the old documents (SC & PO) before I can remove all vendors in SRM, or is there a way to force the removal of all the business partners from before the back-end client copy?
Thx.
Skander

Hi,
I already figured out how to solve the issue.
For anyone who wants to know how to:
-First clear the vendor groups in the vendor hierarchy; do not renove the root node
-Then run BBPGETVD which will get you the new vendors from the back-end; for me only role LF for suppliers.
-Then run BBPUPDVD which will update all the fields for the old business partner numbers in SRM which were used in documents, and replicated from the old back-end system.
In my case I had to play a litlebit with the setting 'only creditors', to update BP numbers which were not suppliers in the new back-end.
After performing these steps everything should be fine.
So it's perfectly possible to make a client copy of only the back-end system without copying SRM (in the classic scenario that is).
Rgds,
Skander

How to fing out the details of PO item befor replicating to the back end.

Hi SRM Guru
We are working on the SRM 4.0 and extended classic scenario.
I want to see all the details which are send to the back end for creation of the purchase Order.
I will specify the steps I follow.
Create the SC( waiting for approval ) , Approver approves the SC then SC will be created in SRM and the replicated in the Back end .
     I have tried to find out this through the external debugging
I have set the break points @ BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI and BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, CL_HANDLER ( Methods ), but I am not able to reach the point to the PO creation in SRM and its replication in the back end.
1     Does any one tell me the sequence of the badiu2019s coming?
2     How the PO gets replicated in the back end ?
     which bapi(BAPI CREATEPO) is called ?
     After which event this bapi called ?
     Which data is passed for the creation of PO ?
3     where I will get the information on the structures/internal tables which are getting      populated during the debugging.
With Regards
DSS

U mean u want to know at runtime?
Get the output from ur proxy as a string, count the number of "<" characters and divide it by 2. :-P
Of course, you'll have to treat the header fields separately.

Accessing auth. scheme in PL/SQL expression

I have an Authorization scheme (AS1) that returns true for a certain set of users.
I have some form items on a page that have their Read Only condition set to a PL/SQL expression based on values of other form items.
But for the set of users for whom AS1 returns true, I would like to disable the readonly condition i.e. display the page item normally. This would be equivalent to adding a AND NOT AS1 to the PL/SQL expression.
Is there a way to access the authorization scheme in an PL/SQL expression in this fashion?
Thanks

Thanks Scott
Does the implementation of that API respect the "cached per page view or per session" attribute of the authorization scheme? In other words, does using that API in a PL/SQL condition result in identical behaviour as declaratively attaching the authorization scheme to a component?
Thanks

SQL Express 2012 SP2 Offline Install Available?

We have a customer where SQL Express 2012 SP2 is needed for an application (the application is not yet validated for SQL Express 2014).
The computer for this application is not connected to the internet (Win7x64).
Is there an install package for this?

It does complain that it cannot connect to Windows Update, but you can click past that.
Yes, the installer supports "live update slipstream" for newer SQL Server Service Pack, but you can skip this during installation.

SQL Expressions in Declarative SQL mode VOs - possible?

Hi all,
I am planning to create a declarative SQL mode VO and am wondering if I would be able to use SQL expressions on the select clause - for ex- SUBSTR(col1,1,10). Is this possible?
I searched around and could find no reference.
Thanks,
Srini

Srini, @chris hope you don't mind me stepping in
Just checked this in 11.1.1.4.0 and 11.1.1.6.0 and it worked for me.
I used the HR schema and the Departments table
<ViewAttribute
    Name="DepartmentName"
    IsNotNull="true"
    PrecisionRule="true"
    EntityAttrName="DepartmentName"
    EntityUsage="Departments"
    AliasName="DEPARTMENT_NAME"/>
<ViewAttribute
    Name="nnn"
    IsPersistent="false"
    PrecisionRule="true"
    Precision="255"
    Type="java.lang.String"
    ColumnType="VARCHAR2"
    AliasName="VIEW_ATTR"
    Passivate="true"
    Expression="SUBSTR(DEPARTMENT_NAME, 1, 5)"
    SQLType="VARCHAR"/>
...The nnn attribute I added to show only the first 5 characters of the department name.

SAP BI back-end Vs SAP BO back-end

Hi Friends,
Purchasing SAP software packages - bought SAP NW 2007s package (included SAP BI) and SAP BO XI suite (included Data Integrator (DI) as part of the BO XI package).
We have below scenarios and discussions around these scenarios - please advice the best practice/method:
1. ECC - > SAP BI(back-end) for storing ECC and other legacy data->BO reporting tools like Crystal Reports, WebI, Xcelsius etc.,
2. ECC -> BO(back-end) for storing ECC and other legacy data using DI for setting up the ETL process -> BO reporting tools like Crystal Reports, WebI, Xcelsius etc.,
3. ECC ->use BI and BO as back-end system -> BO reporting tools like Crystal Reports, WebI, Xcelsius etc.,
Does anyone have reasoning to use both back-ends? The BI and BO packages include the back-end and I think it is up to the customer to choose either one as data warehouse system. Thinking that SAP may also have different package combinations to have either BI or BO back-end to use as data warehouse system which may reduce the license, implementation and maintenance cost.
When it comes to scenario 1 and 2 u2013 How BO ETL handles the massive data extractions, error handling, and parallel extraction and performance issues compared to SAP BI?
Please provide your thoughts in approaching the specific scenarios? It would be great if you could also provide some web links precisely relevant to this discussion.
Thanks,
Sudha

HI,
just to clarify: in the BusinesObjects Enterprise system you not storing data.
1. ECC - > SAP BI(back-end) for storing ECC and other legacy data->BO reporting tools like Crystal Reports, WebI, Xcelsius etc.,
>> for sure possible
2. ECC -> BO(back-end) for storing ECC and other legacy data using DI for setting up the ETL process -> BO reporting tools like Crystal Reports, WebI, Xcelsius etc.,
>> you would then use something that is called a Rapid Mart for example
3. ECC ->use BI and BO as back-end system -> BO reporting tools like Crystal Reports, WebI, Xcelsius etc.
>> yes.
Both backends have a different purpose. BusinessObjects is reporting and BW is a datawarehouse.

MYSQL as front-end to MS Access via LabView

Hello members,
There is a part in my project where a program writes to a MS Access database (DB). I want to be able to take this Access DB and use it to update a MySQL DB using LabView. I have already created the DB in MySQL with exactly the same structure as the DB in MS Access. Basically, what I am trying to do is that every time the MS Access DB is updated I want to be able to post-run a VI to update the MySQL DB. So MySQL DB is my front-end for MS Access. I have the data connectivity package and I have tried couple things but in vain. I can insert data into MySQLDB but I have not been able to update a specific existing column in a specific existing table. I have searched online too for possible ways to do it and most discussions/ solutions are for MS Access to be the front-end for MySQL (I need the opposite to be working). Some other discussions were for migrating MS Access to MySQL, but it is not what we are trying to do. The MS Access DB will always be there. I do have all permissions to read/write to both DB.
I will appreciate any suggestions or input you may be able to provide or if there is a better/ efficient way to do it.

Based on your description I don't see how either database is a "front-end" to either one. It sounds to me like you are updating the two databases in parallel. For it to be a "front-end" MySQL would need to update the Access database directly, not LabVIEW. So LabVIEW would know nothing about the Access database. This means all the work would be inside of MySQL (such as with triggers on table updates and insertions, which I'm not sure if MySQL even has).
I don't understand your statement about being unable to update a specific existing column in a specific existing table. What exactly are you trying? What VIs are you using? What are your inputs? Can you post your code and a quick overview of your schema?
