Websphere application connectivity to SAP

We are trying to do some proof of concept work connecting to SAP BAPIs using the SAP connector. We have the Netweaver ABAP trial version installed but it doesn't seem to have JCo or sapjra.rar anywhere. Are these components available in a trial form. I've hunted around on the developer network and the net but cann't seem to find anything that tell me whether these components are available as trials/sneak previews.

Paul.......
SAP JCO stands for Java Connector ..and i dont think that comes with the Abap trial for netweaver.

Hi
Why dont you enable RFCs in the SAP system as WebServices and consume them? If you have a very old SAP system then use JCo (JCA) / JRA and connect through the RFC layer.
[Consume Webservices in 7.3|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/ca/97f68ba5034d0fb21c518f0cac1432/frameset.htm]

Portal application connecting backend SAP R/3 system

Hi All,
 I am developing one portal application through NWDS. It's JSPDYNPage component.The applications functionality is basicaly is to connect it to backend SAP R/3 system & fetch some data in aparticular table & display that data in a tableview format on one JSP& also when i click any row of the tableview then details of that row should get displayed on the next JSP. So i reached till develpoing a code that connnects to Backend SAP R/3.(Basicaly coding of connection part is done). Now i need to test this code, to check whether it is fine or not? NWDS doesnt give nay error, not compile also or not runtime error also. It simply shows the output as a blank page, where it is supposed to display one line of text in textview(i coded this in my JSP).But as i said it displays a blank page. i tried to debug the application , but debugging also not worked.I performed the debugging twice in right way. The code was not debugged, it run the same way as it normally runs when debugging is off & shown the blank page. I also have done all the the settings or prerequisites for debugging properly. I am stuck at this point now.search many documents , but no relevant help has been received. Can anyonehlep me with this. i am putting below the code for JSP, JSPDYNPAGE component as well as portalapp.xml. Can anyone guide me with this, whhere i am making mistake? what should i change in this?

How to develop portal application connecting to SAP R/3(backend system)

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone guide me on how to create portal aplication(JSPDYNPAGE), that will connect to backend SAP R/3 system, & it will fetch the data from some table from that R/3 system. Any reference material will be appriciated, it will be of great help.
Thanks
Chetan.

Hi Chetan,
Connection to R/3 systems through Portal can be done in many ways. Since you have mentioned that you are using jspdynpage then its better that you use JCo for connecting to R/3 system.
U can write the JCo code using the jspdynpage component. I hope you have pdfs related to JCO. Incase u dont have then give me you mail id. OK
Another approach could be developing a web dynpro java application that access a r/3 table using a BAPI. You can a dynpro model to easily connect to R/3 system.
Just develop an iview based on this web dynpro application. And finally navigate to this iview through your jspdynpage.
I hope this helps you in some way

SSO between SAP EP and JAVA app on WebSphere Application Server 5.1

Hi. I have 2 questions.
I am implementing SAP EP6 and need to display content from a WebSphere JAVA application inside the portal. The application is currently running on WAS 5.1.
1. Does anyone have any sample code or documentation regarding how to pass the SAP logon ticket to WebSphere JAVA application to accomplish SSO when inside the portal?
2. Does anyone have any sample code or documentation regarding how to pass the SAP logon ticket to WebSphere JAVA application to accomplish SSO when outside the SAP EP, but still within the same IE browser window where the SAP logon ticket exists?
Thanks for any feedback you could provide.

Hello Kevin,
please look here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/nw/ibm/how to set up sso between sap enterprise portal and ibm websphere portal using tai.pdf
Regarding your second questions: as long as you did not log off from SAP EP your browser hosts the SAP Logon Ticket cookie (within its timeframe of validity which is typically a couple of hours). So if you access a non SAP application that accepts SAP logon ticket with your browser, you're authenticated.
Please note that the cookie based authentication only works withing the same DNS domain. So if your SAP EP is configured to issues the SAP logon ticket to "company.com" then your browser sends it only to servers in that domain.

Michael

How to make Portal Application for connecting to SAP R/3(backend system)

Hello Experts,
I need to create a portal application that should connect to SAP R/3 & fetch some data in some table according to some input parameters provided at runtime & display the data in TABLEVIEW control.
Anyone can guide me on this i:e- how to go about it. What things i should know or should be aware of before creating this application. Any PDF documents , any help material, any guidance about the same will be of great help.
Thanks,
Chetan

Chetan,
Webdynpro & Visual Composer ars EP Development Tools.
If you only display BAPI data then go for Visual Composer with requires no coding So I suggest you to go for Visual Composer.
You can also use Webdynpro Java or ABAP to display BAPI data by creating
Adaptive RFC model.
You will integrate Webdynpro applications into EP by creating SAP Webdynpro iView.

Number of remote RFC connections to SAP from third party application

Hi All,
We are using an external application which is using the JCO API to make a connection to the SAP server to pass invoices. But the connections are note properly closed after invoking the RFCs and SAP seems to be not able to handle further requests once the numer of connections reach the maximum limit.
Could you tell whether there is a max limit on the number of connections opened to SAP from remote function calls from a third party product?
Is there anyway by which we can make sure that connections are properly closed in SAP after the each remote call?
Thanks in advance for your pointers.
Regards
Arun

Dear Arun,
Here are the parameter settings which you can do to set up RFC connections to SAP servers.

HOW COULD CONNECT FROM SAP SYSTEM TO THIRD PARTY JAVA APPLICATION

HI expects,
HOW COULD CONNECT FROM SAP SYSTEM TO THIRD PARTY JAVA or . DET APPLICATION.please provide me some scenarios and documents.please help me.

Hi,
In the sender side i.e. in SAP system you can use IDoc/RFC/Proxy to push the data to XI.
IDoc supports only Async communication and in Sync case performace is good using Proxy.
In the receiver side you can use Java Proxy to connect to the Java application or you can even bulid a webservice over the Java/.Net application and use SOAP adapter to post data to it.

Can't create connection to SAP application server

I use BusinessObjects Edge Series 3.0 (testing software). In Designer I am trying to create a new universe and first to create new connection (with wizard) to SAP (BW cube). I set all parameters that I use to connect with SAP GUI, but on testing the connection I get message "The server is not responding". What is wrong?
Thanks,

I found the decision here:
Error creating connection to SAP
I installed SAP integration kit - downloaded from here:

Hi DinyBee,
I am assume you have an URL that can get response from your OData Channel Gateway Service. You can test this in your browser. The URL should be something like this: http://gateway.company.com:8000/sap/opu/sdata/sap/APPLICATION/XXXCollection?sap-client=100&$format=xml
If the URL is working, you can setup an Application Connection in your SCC by follow the steps:
1. Select Applications, then go to Application Connection tab
2. Register a new User, with all the correct Server information, remember specify your activation code.
3. After you register the user, at the same Application Connection tab, select your user, and click Properties.
4. Go to Proxy option, and you insert the URL "http://gateway.company.com:8000/sap/opu/sdata/sap/APPLICATION/" into the Application Endpoint. Then click OK.
5. In your iOS application code, you register your Application using the object LiteSUPUserManager, and then get the Application Endpoint by using object LiteSUPAppSetting.
6. Now, your application already got Online in the SUP, and the application also know which URL it should connect to.
7. From now on, you can use object SDMRequestBuilder to build the request, and get the response from the OData Gateway.
This is just a high level steps for you to reference, you should refer to Sybase documentation to get more information about the objects that I mentioned.
Thank you.

SAP DB Connection from SAP BI on HP UNIX to MS SQL External Database

Dear All,
Greetings!
I have a scenario to configure a SAP DB Connection from SAP BI System on HP UNIX 11i to the external legacy system MS SQL 2000 Enterprise for data upload. I am interested in connecting the SQL server as a Source System to the BI System.
I read through documents mentioning about installation of a Client driver in the SAP BI System, I also downloaded the JDBC client software and tried installing the same, but the steps as mentioned Setting the CLASSPATH or connecting to the server did not work.
Please help me in connecting the SQL Server as Source System, I would like to know in detail about the same - so kindly help me with the links to documents and guides about the same.
Thank you

Short answer: this does not work.
Long answer: To connect directly to the database you need
- a database client for the source system
- a database interface library for the source system
Both of them are not available for HP-UX if the target database is SQL server --> doesn't work.
What you can do is: add a Windows application server to your BI system (heterogeneous installations work and are supported) and add there the database client and the database interface library.

Hi Jigar,
as you know about SSO it is nice, SSO is used to connect to backend (System) you can say R/3. Where as system contains many modules.
Create one system in portal which will connect to your desired backend using SSO. Once it succeeds.
Then create an SAP transaction iview from iview template which will point to this created sytem.
You must be having some t-code to directly access your module in the R/3.
You have to enter this t-code in the Transaction code property of the iview. After creating this iview and proper SSO settings, when you pre-view this iView it will directly open the first screen of your module/application in the backend system.
let me know if you face any issues in this.
