Third Party Tool using OLE DB for OLAP

We have built a query in BEx 7.0 Query Designer and released for access via OLE DB for OLAP to Cog nos 8 Repor Designr.
I am trying to see the SQL/MDX code Cog nos is sending to BW to retrieve data. Is there a way to see what BW gets from Cog nos report on the BW side? Just to clarify, getting this info for the BW query executing without the 3rd party tool is not useful, because we dont have any issues running the BEx query, however 3pty tool gets back bad data. Specifically when using a query with a BEx reusable structure.
I have further details on the design of the query, however I am trying not to create a very long and messy thread with unnecessary info. Please ask if those details are necessary to understand the issue.

Here is a little more info on how the query is setup and why I think it is having a problem.....
Query has Two Structures....
Rows:
Reusable Structure (Without Key Figures) with 20 Rows (selections and formulas) defining each line of a Financial Statement. Structure Name is "XYZ Statement"
Colums:
Reusable Structure (With Key Figures) with 3 Columns (05/2007 Actuals, 05/2007 Plan, Variance). Structure Name is "Comparison"
Free Characteristics:
GL Account
Cost Center
Other Char...
What Cognos 8 sees in the package:
In Cognos, Structure "XYZ Statement" appears as a regular dimension, the same way Free Characteristics do. The Structure "Comparison" appears as a Key Figure, aka Measure.
How the Cognos Report is built in Report Studio:
If the report is built NOT using the dimension "XYZ Statement", regardless of whatever Free Characteristics you use from the query as a datasource, you will not get any data, however it works fine when the "XYZ Statement" dimension is used.
What I think the problem is:
I am thinking all Cognos reports build off this package MUST use the dimension "XYZ Statement" (aka Reusable Characteristic Structure in BW), other wise the query does not return any data.
How I am trying to validate this theory:
Query is the datasource for Cognos. Executing RSRT only allows me to get details on the query execution via BW, however since the Cognos report is not returning correct data, I am trying to see what the Cognos Report is passing back to BW, to understand/validate what I think is the issue. If this is just the way it works, then I want to validate and move on.

Suggestion for Iridium I/O third party tool use in production environment. Is Good or bad to use?

Hello Everyone,
we are planing to use Iridium I/O third party tool in one of our critical production environment to improve the performance.
but i want to know is it recommended for such type of critical servers?.
if i use this tool find any performance improvement.

Hi Baraiya,
Iridium I/O is certified by Microsoft. It can help to fix SQL Server performance instead of just pointing out performance problems . Benefits of using Iridium include the following aspects. Refer to:
Iridium I/O for SQL Server.
•Faster transactions
•Faster batch jobs
•Reduced blocking and deadlocking
•Faster sorting in tempdb
•Speeds up queries from 3rd Party apps that can't be tuned
•Speeds up queries that are already "fully tuned"
•Speeds up the 95% of queries that the DBA never has time to tune
In addition, there will be no impact on the SQL databases when Iridium is removed. Personally, I recommend you install the Iridium I/O in a test environment, and check if it meets your requirement, then use it in the production server.
For more details , you can also review this blog:
SQL SERVER – Iridium I/O – SQL Server Deduplication that Shrinks Databases and Improves Performance.

Create a Web Service to connect a third party tool using ABAP.

Hi Guru's,
I wanted to create a web service to access a third party tool for fetching data from it. Can anyone guide me on how to do that and what are the basic needs that we should have to use Web services? To execute a web service, do we need a J2EE engine?
Thanks & Regards,
Veerabhadra Rao A.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your immediate response.
Can you please explain me the technical point of view for fetching the data from a third party application using web service? Which method would be correct for this (i.e., BAPI/FM/FG/Message Interface)? What is the step by step process to fetch data? If I use a function module, how do I pass the data to the web service? Can you give me some more inputs to it?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Veera.

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
Process Flow:
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 using 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.

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.

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 ,

BPMon: Send BPMon alerts to third party tool through SNMP traps

Hi All,
In our environment the preferred ticketing tool for raising tickets is a CA tool. I have managed to integrate system monitoring on Solution Manager with this third party tool using SNMP traps. Essentially when a system monitoring alert is raised in the alert inbox of solution manager, ticket gets raised in the CA tool.
I want the same integration with BPMon alerts. Whenever a BPMon alert is raised, I want to send an SNMP trap to the CA ticketing tool.
Can someone please guide me to the correct configuration guide or how its done.
Regards,
Ash

The query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP

Hi,
I have created a SAP BI query by query designer,which includes a replacement path variable.Query is working totaly fine.
Now i want to use this query in SAP BO universe, so i have checked the query property Release for OLE DB for OLAP in Advance preoperty of query which allow external use of query.
But after this when i try to run the query its showing error messages-
The query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP
Query ZBO_OVERDUE_CUST could not be opened.
>> Row: 37 Inc: CONSTRUCTOR Prog: CL_RSR_OLAP_VAR
Error when generating dataProvider
If i remmove it,my query will work fine.But problem is here,i have to use both thing.
I want repleasement path in query,and because i have to use query in Universe,so i have so allow external use of query.
What should i do,how can i get my desire result.
Thanks,
Piyush

I think it may be a limitation due to some of the logic in the BEx query.

Release for OLE DB for OLAP
External reporting tools that communicate using the OLE DB for OLAP interface use queries as data sources. If you want to release this query as a data source for external Reporting tools, select Allow External Access to this Query.
Note: Queries containing formulas with the operators %RT, %CT, %GT, SUMRT, SUMCT, SUMGT, and LEAF cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP. These operators are dependent on how the list is displayed in the BEx Analyzer and the formulas return unexpected values when using OLE DB for OLAP or MDX. You may be able to obtain the required result by selecting constants. For more information, see Selecting Constants.

Trigger for blocking user using third party tool !

Dear Friends ,
I have to block the users from using sqlplus, TOAD, PLsldev etc (Except SYSTEM user) from client end using the below trigger :
create or replace trigger check_logon
after logon on database
declare
cursor c_check is
select
sys_context('userenv','session_user')
username,
s.module,
s.program
from v$session s
where
sys_context('userenv','sessionid')=s.audsid;
lv_check c_check%rowtype;
begin
open c_check;
fetch c_check into lv_check;
if lv_check.username in ('SYSTEM')
then
null;
elsif upper(lv_check.module) like
('%SQL*PLUS%') or
upper(lv_check.program) like
('%SQLPLUS%') or
upper(lv_check.module) like
('%T.O.A.D%') or
upper(lv_check.program) like
('%TOAD%')    or
upper(lv_check.program) like
('%PLSQLDEV%')    or
upper(lv_check.program) like
('%BUSOBJ%')    or
upper(lv_check.program) like
('%EXCEL%')
then
close c_check;
raise_application_error(-
20100,'Banned! Contact with Database Admin!');
end if;
close c_check;
end;
It works fine all normal user cannot access the database using above third party tools .
But the problem is , user with DBA privileges can access the database with generating an trace file . Is there any way to restrict DBA Privileged user ? or is there any mechanism to create a log/trace file so that If there any DBA Privilege user acess to the Database , then we can get the information from that specified log/trace file ?
Waiting your kind reply ... ...

Hi,
If the DBA users has the DBA role granted to them so they will by passes the logon trigger. For example, the SYSTEM user has the DBA role and the DBA role has the ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege. The ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER by pass the logon trigger. If you want to restrict the access to a DBA user, then you need to revoke the ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege from the DBA role or grant individual privileges except the ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege to the DBA users.

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.

Hello Forte Users,
Our company has acquired a software product called Maestro. It's a
production scheduling facility that manages tasks for batch mode
execution.
We would like to know if anyone out there has had any experience using
this
product with Forte. One recommendation that we discussed was to have
Maestro start a script on Escript to communicate to an agent that would
start the batch process at a specified time. Has anyone done something
similar or can offer any suggestions ?

CONNECT ORACLE11g database in sharepoint 2013 without using metaman or any third party tool

Hi!
I want to access ORACLE db and bring it as an external list in SharePoint 2013. How can it be achieved without using third party tools? So far i referred Creating
web service, .Net connectivity assembly or crafting the BCS xml model file manually are the techniques that can be employed to achieve. Can anyone share the code to create External content type and External list by adopting any one of the techniques.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To connect SharePoint to your Oracle Database, you should use the BCS.
You will find here what is the structure of the XML File to create to access your Oracle DB.

Once you finished your BDCM, you will be able to import it with the following mehod :
http://www.manula.com/manuals/lightning-tools/bcs-meta-man-for-windows/1/en/topic/importing-the-bdc-model-into-sharepoint
The last step will be to create your external list from your BDCM.

How to integrate DRM with third party tool for loading metadata in SQL table

Experts,
I am new to DRM and I have a requirement in which we want to integrate DRM with third party tool(lets say SQL table) as target and load metadata from DRM (Parent node, name , alias etc) to SQL table (same column name)
Is there any way we can integrate DRM to export the same to table directly instead to files. If yes what are the steps we have to follow.
Is there anyway we can customize DRM to execute queries or run batch
Can I have a basic example please.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

1. Use DRM Export to Table option, for that create an External Connection first for the Target Database and select the respective Tables to which you wish to Export the Hierarchy information.
2. You can perform most of the DRM Actions via the DRM_BATCH_CLIENT.exe.
Please refer to Using the Data Relationship Management Batch Client of DRM User guide.
let me know if you have any issues.

Third party tool for document preview in sharepoint 2013

Hello,
we are looking for third party tool which provide preview of any documents in documnet library in sharepoint 2013. So when users just hover over the document, they can see the preview. Do
any of you please provide a good suggetion in case if you have used in the past? In my research I came across
Knowledgelake and harepoint. Also I think there is one Metalogix but I know for sure it a way too costly. So please help if you know who does this job with a fair amount of price.
Thanks.

I've found Ontolica Preview to be adequate for this. Reasonable product and supports a lot of formats

RFC destination for your third-party tool

Hello SAP Guru's,
I have recently established external db connect for an iseries database. Now developers wants to use the open hub destination to extract data to non-SAP systems. They are using API: RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY to connect a third-party tool to the BI system and use this third-party tool to distribute data to other non-SAP systems. To do so they need RFC destination for the third party tool. Could you tell me which RFC connection i have to use in SM59 ? I mean is it ABAP connection or TCP/IP connection or HTTP connection to external server?
I would highly appreciate any help on this.
FYI:
I have already gone through below help link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/8de3f4743b22a8e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

This will be of type TCP/IP.
You will need to create an RFC server application on the thirdparty system, and implement this function there. You will need to define that server application in your RFC destination definitions (host/Program).
You may need to read up RFC server help documentation; you can also browse the SAPGUI subfolders for RFC server sample applications and C code (if you have installed GUI in full, there should be such subfolders on your PC). You can also ask for help on 'application server' or 'abap' forums for this.
