Using OpenHub Unix to export to SQL Server

Hi,
I have SAPBW 3.1(DB2 database) on a Unix machine and I need to export data to a SQL Server database on Windows. There are general issues with accessing SQL Server from a Unix machine (ODBC drivers), but what I would like to know is, does this apply using OpenHub?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Lee.

Hi Lee,
You have a good point but I think it should be ok if you take care with the reads/writes. SAP does not encourage non-SAP programs to directly read or write to tables for numerous reasons: performance impact, read consistency, locking, change management, DDIC consistency, etc.
As long as your program can ensure the above, I personally would not see an issue. Because of the above most people use some ABAP code to copy or move the table entries. The ABAP code could then be integrated into the Process chains to ensure the execution at the right time.
Just some thoughts,
Mike.

What are the advantage of using Oracle Database when compare to SQL SERVER

Hi,
There are various differences between the two.
1. SQL Server is only Windows, but Oracle runs on almost all Platforms.
2. You can have multiple databases in SQL Server, but Oracle provides you only one database per instance.Given that the very term 'database' has s different meaning in the two products, this "difference" is absolutely meaningless.
3. SQL Server provides T-SQL for writing programs, whereas Oracle provides PL/SQLWhich means what? Both products have a procedural programming language. They named them differently, and the languages are not interchangeable. Means nothing in comparing the features/strengths/weaknesses/suitability to purpose.
4. Backup types in both are the same. (Except Oracle provides an additional backup called Logical Backup.)You make that sound like "Logical Backup" is something more than it is. It is nothing more than an export of the data and metadata. Many experts don't even consider it a backup. I'm sure SQL Server provides the same functionality though they probably call it by some other name.
5. Both provide High Availability.Well, I guess they both have a suite of features they refer to as "High Availability". But what does that really mean? The devil is in the details. Remember, the two products don't even agree on what constitutes a "database".
6. Both come in various distributions.???

If you are going for an Implementation, you can try SQL Server Express Edition and Oracle XE which are free to use.
Then you can choose whichever is comfortable for your needs.
Thanks.

Have you moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server

I am looking for people that have moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server...
Would you do it again ?
Did you save money ?
Were you using Zones to virutalize on Unix ?
Did you gain or loose overall Performance ?
Have you had to perform a recovery on SQL Server ?
Have you done a recovery in Oracle ?
Were you using Rman ?
Which worked better ?
We are going through an analysis of does it really make sense, save money and effect performance to move from a strong unix/oracle environment to a MS/SQL environment.

Hi,
All our R/3 legacy systems are Windows/Oracle.
All the new systems (BW, SRM, CRM, XI) are Windows/MSSQL.
It was an order from the management to make the switch because of the high prices of Oracle licences.
The official motto is now Oracle on Unix only and SQL server on Windows only.
We get the same level of performance as with Oracle, but we, old SAP Oracle grumpy admins, are much more comfortable with Oracle admin than SQL server admin.
imho, SQL server may seem simplier but it is much easier to look under the hood whith Oracle.
We have to reinvent the wheel and it's kind of frustrating but we will cope with it...
I would say that SQL server is not a good choice for BW usage because there is a lot more litterature on BW database optimisation for Oracle than MSSQL.
The official SAP class does not speak at all about SQL server but has several chapters on Oracle...

Olivier

Using WMI alert for mirroring in Sql server 2012

We are using mirroring in Sql Server 2012 and we are using WMI alerts for some of events such as Connection lost,Manual failover,...
In alert definition we have set the followings:
Type: WMI event alert
NameSpace:
\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\MSSQLSERVER
Query: select * from DATABASE_MIRRORING_STATE_CHANGE where State = 6
The alert is bing triggered correctly,but on email description instead of having meaningful explaination like 'Connection lost',We have the same query:
Query: select * from DATABASE_MIRRORING_STATE_CHANGE where State = 6
We have used the same implementation in our Sql Server 2008 servers and it is working fine.This mashine (Sql Server 2012) is a new mashine.
I would appreciate if someone help me on this.AlsoI checked and 'Include body of e-mail in notification message' was already set.
Thanks

Creating multiple graphs dashboard in Crystal XI using a single View from MS SQL Server 2005

How to create multiple graphs dashboard in Crystal XI using a single View from MS SQL Server 2005?
I need to use Crystal XI and create a dashboard which shows some sales data and stuff, multiple graphs on a single screen.
My tech team says they can display one graph per page but not 4 graphs on the same page as it uses a common view from SQL Server 2005.
How to manage this? Can we call in multiple views / graphs in the same page? Say 4 graphs on the same page?
We use ASP or .NET for calling crystal reports into the App.
Regards,
Akshay.

Have you tried creating multiple sections, putting each graph in a separate section and then underlaying the sections so they appear next to each other?

Hi,
Thanks for the translation.
You say you are having a hard time exporting my database Primavera P6 Project Management for SQL Server 2008. Could you give details of exactly what you are using for the export and what problems you are having ?
Is this an export from an Oracle database or a SQL*Server 2008 database ?

Encrypt Excel Export from SQL Server Reporting Services prior to attaching to e-mail

Does SSRS 2012 have a secure e-mail Delivery Extension that would allow the Excel document to be encrypted?
Or is there sample code?
Or is the best approach to consider a Microsoft Partner product such as Database Potential, Inc.'s "Secure Delivery Pack for SQL Server Reporting Services"?
http://www.databasepotential.com/product-p/sdp.htm
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or feedback regarding this topic.
Boyd

Hi Boyd,
Currently, it’s not supported a delivery extension that encrypts documents before sending them in Reporting Services. If you have the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) environment, you can use the following workaround:
1. Using SSIS Script Task to encrypt the report before exporting it to the Excel file.
2. Add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel files to the recipients.
For the details, please refer to the document below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2011/10/encrypt-files-in-ssis.html
In addition, we can try to use .NET API approach. In this scenario, we need capture the Excel file using the WQL Query of FileWatcher, and then encrypt the file, finally email the Excel File.
For the details, please refer to the blog as shown below:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2010/12/continuously-watching-files-with-wmi.html
If you need more assistance, please feel free to contact me.

the SQL Server 2000. However, I cannot deploy the CMP if I didn't create the table

How can I Use a Stored Procedure from Microsoft SQL Server?

Hi All,
Would like to use stored procedure as my data service in Visual Composer.
Our version is VC7.0 SP20.
Is stored procedure feasible? What is the system that i need to create in Enterprise Portal? Currently i have BI JDBC System which only allows me to search for tables from SQL Server.
Much appreciate your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Sarah

Hi Skif,
Referring to my post: JDBC System Connection VS BI JDBC System Connection
I do not even able to view list of stored procedure. I need help too..maybe you can show me how do you set the connection? What are the mandatory connection properties? I have filled up:
- Connection URL
- Driver class name
- User Administration: User, Admin (I did user mapping too)
The error message that i got is:
com.sap.guimachine.portalconnector.commandhandler.CommandException: Failed to connect to backend system. Check your system definition and user privileges.#
I had assigned full control to the DB user, and map my portal user to that DB user.
Many Thanks,
Sarah

Error rsItemNotFound when using ReportingService2010 endpoint in SharePoint Mode (SQL Server 2012 & SP2013)

Hi all,
I installed SQL Server 2012 in SharePoint Mode, with SharePoint 2013 on a Windows Server 2012 virtual machine. The issue occurs when I try to use the ListChildren operation of the ReportService2010 endpoint.
It manages to connect to the server, but it refuses to list any children. Here's the code I'm using:
using System;
using System.Net;
internal class Test
public static void Main()
var rs = new ReportingService2010
Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "machine")
CatalogItem[] items = null;
// Retrieve a list of all items from the report server database.
try
items = rs.ListChildren("/", true);
catch (Exception e)
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
When executed, this code throws an exception (which is caught and displayed) : "The item '/' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)"
The same code works (i.e. does not throw any exception and the items variable contains some CatalogItem) when used against a SQL Server 2012 configured in native mode.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, maybe the first parameter shouldn't be "/" but something else?
Thanks for your help
Aotio

+1
I'm getting this error as well. My test software is connecting to two different servers; one is running on SharePoint 2010 and I have no problems using the ReportingService2010 functions on that, but I am getting this same error when trying to connect
to a service on SharePoint 2013.

Using flash to display images from sql server or file system

hello,
what methods and parameters of the urlloader class we have to use to display images in a flash player if possible..
also movie should update everytime a new image is added to a database or file
the images can either be in a file system or in a sql database (if possible)
does flash comes with an object of this type or we have to create it.
regards,

i responded to your duplicate message 4 days ago:
is it possible to insert and retrieve images from sql server using actionscript.
you'll need server-side script to query your database and you can use the flash urlloader class to call your script.
also is it possible to create a flash scrolling gallery based on images stored in a database and everytime an image is added it is displayed in the gallery.
load the data using the urlloader class and then load the images. periodically query the database for new images if there's no direct way for flash to know a new image was added.

I need to add a new report to the application that is done using visual studio and SSRS and SQL Server 2008

I have an application that is done using SSRS on visual studio and it connects to the report server on SQL server 2008 environment.
I've been changing the existing reports using visual studio 2008 and modifying the reports on the report server. How do I add a new report to the application ? I created a new report and deployed it on the report server but it didn't show up in the application.
I can access the application source code on visual studio 2010 and TFS (Team Foundation). Thanks.

Hi,
I have a question. This application retrieves SSRS reports from the report sever. When I download the reports
from the SQL Server I can open them in visual studio 2008 but they don't open in visual studio 2010. I can access the application files on visual studio 2010 and team foundation server 2010. I was unable to open team foundation server 2008 on visual studio
2008. The issue is that I am unable to add a report with a new name to the application. I use visual studio 2008 to deploy the reports on the report server but it has to be the same name to be able to run the report from the application. I can deploy any report
on the report server but I can't access it from the application unless it has to be the same name as the present reports. If I keep the report the same name then it will replace the old report and the new report will run from the application. But only if it's
the same name. I guess when I add a new report to the application with a new name I am supposed to add a definition in the application C sharp files on visual studio 2010 so that the new report will show in the application. What's your opinion
? I have attached 2 images of the application and team foundation server 2010 and the report server.
Thanks.

Using Oracle Forms Importing Data From SQL Server into Oracle Tables.

I have no idea what "Oracle Hetrogenius Services" is, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
SQL Developer might also assist you. SQL Developer can connect to SQL Server as well as Oracle and has some tools for migration. See the documentation for details:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/doc.150/e12156/toc.htm
