I am currently working front end of SAP application now i am going develop automation process using Excel VBA with BDC, But in my work place most of developing transaction access denied (SHDB, SE38). Is there any online or free sap application for practice BDC program and record.
The only service, which provided test worldwide access to IDES, was Consolut, but recently it was discontinued. However, you can buy live access to SAP system directly from SAP, or request SAP Sneak Preview (MiniSAP), or try pre-configured virtual appliances from SAP Cloud Appliance Library free of charge. However your question isn't really related to development area.

Currently we are using plugins to integrate records for Dynamics CRM 2011 (on premise) to back office (SQL Server) using WCF as a bridge. This process is same for insert and update. (Plugin > WCF > stored procedure)
However, we are due to upgrade to Dynamics CRM 365 on Azure and wondering if there are any better (new tech!) ways to do the same process?
I would really appreciate if you can share your experience with similar CRM to Back Office sync.
We are using (and I recommend) Data Export service
Data Export is an add-on service made available as a Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) solution that adds the ability to replicate Dynamics 365 (online) data to a Microsoft Azure SQL Database store in a customer-owned Microsoft Azure subscription. The supported target destinations are Microsoft Azure SQL Database and Microsoft Azure SQL Server on Microsoft Azure virtual machines. Data Export intelligently synchronizes the entire Dynamics 365 schema and data initially and thereafter synchronizes on a continuous basis as changes occur (delta changes) in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) system.
Probably the easiest/cleanest way. Just a Managed solution import, enabling Change tracking for Entities, setup Azure SQL & Key vault, friendly Profile setup & sync issues troubleshooting.
If your WCF services is available in the internet I do not see any reason to change the working integration (unless you really want to get rid of good, old WCF :)).
If it is intranet-only app you will probably need to use some other integration patterns and technologies. For example: service bus, web jobs, app logic, etc.
All of them may work perfecly well, however there are many different conditions that need to be considered during decission process.
I have to build a integration between Mulesoft and QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise edition. How Can the same be done? I know that for QuickBooks Online, as soon as access code is generated, a web service call will do whatever functionality is required. Is the same possible for Desktop enterprise also? If yes, please give some sample. I have to create Bills in QuickBooks enterprise using this integration.
Thanks
It looks like there's a connector for that.
I had a engineer design our .net application back in 2009, my guess is that it was coded using visual studio, and all I have is the installer application. We have been using it on our 1 or 2 local client machines very well for the past few years, but now I want to move this front end to the cloud. Instead of installing it as an application on our windows 7 machines.
It is a very simple application used in our small warehouse that keeps track of cargo/shipments etc. It uses Sql Server 2008 Express as a backend which is stored locally.
I know how to get the database in the cloud, their are many options for that, using Amazon or Azure, but how do i get the local client application to the cloud?
I dont have access to the visual studio code, i just have the runtime executable file..
I am sure there is no way to do this, and many of SO users will say i need to re-write the front end.
I have tried to contact the developer and they hav since closed down. Is their anyway i can run this in the cloud?
I welcome all options and solutions!
Thanks.
I believe you have two options for hosting this application:
If you are able to configure the database connection string, you could host the database in the cloud, and distribute the application to your end users. However, you've already stated that you know how to move the database, so I assume this isn't an option.
The only alternative is to run the entire application on a cloud server, and send the user interface to a client using terminal services. This makes it appear as if the application is running locally on the user's computer, while it is actually running on the server.
For an off-the-shelf solution to achieve this, you could consider using Microsoft's RemoteApp Azure service. I'm sure there are other similar offerings available.
In our organization we are using Hyper-V VMs. We are using Progress Database and apps in the workstations.
For us to migrate into the Microsoft Azure cloud, do we have to migrate our existing Progress database to SQL and rewrite our apps ?
No. You haven't given us much detail about your applications or architecture, but if I make the assumption that you are using the embedded database product by Progress software, then I see no reason that can't run on an Azure VM.
So I am currently doing some research for creating iPhone and Mac applications for my company and perhaphs other small businesses. I have found god knows loads and loads of books on cocoa and iOS development, but on the side of SQL server things get a little more shady. I have seen all kinds of products online who claim to be the best SQL driver and to be the simplest and performance enhanced way of adding a relational database to your cocoa app. I have currently been and still create desktop applications under windows and we extensively use our databases for almost all applications and reports we build. We have iPads and iPhone all around our company and I could really bring some innovative apps to our table if we could have some of our workflows or reports on the iPhone or iPad. I cannot seem to find a viable SQL driver like using visual studio under widows. Is there a obvious solution that I have missed or do developers just not deal with enterprise projects with relational databases? We as a company have the capabilities to create what ever web or server needed to get such a project underway but before I do I want to make sure I can work with our existing database as I could with visual studio, any ideas or suggestions are welcomed.
I guess this is one of reasons why is there sooo little enterprise-class software on Macs... As a first candidate I would consider FreeTDS to access SQL Servers. It has headers and libraries that can be linked in XCode as far as I know.
As you mentioned in your post and comments, you do have great design in your mind. For having an application to compatible with any mobile device, the best application design would be to have your application running on as cloud service connected to specific cloud DB while application is talking to it over any exposed interface.
With Windows Azure your application can run as Cloud Service while using SQL database. In your cloud service you can have WCF endpoint exposed which can serve connection to your SQL Database and provide specific data you are looking for. This way your cloud application will be able to serve any mobile device as long as you can make connection to secure WCF endpoint and get back the data. In WCF you not only get XML data, you can pass much more complex results and process in the device as if needed.
