I am not familiar with SAP systems, but I have user access to an SAP instance that allows me to access, for example: transaction code FB03.
I have been reading on the internet on possible ways to connect via SQL Management Studio or SSIS to SAP Tables, which I know it is possible, but my question is, it possible to somehow extract these t-code data directly into management studio or ssis?
Can I query tcodes directly into SSIS OR SSMS ? If so, how is it done?
It might be quite a newbie question, but once again, not familiar with this system.
Thank you!
Can I query T-CODES directly into SSIS OR SSMS?
Nope. They are executed only via SAP client aka SAPLogon.

It is done directly via SQL Management Studio if you know SAP DB Instance host and have access credentials/permissions for it. Usually regular users do not have them, only BASIS staff.

Nope, this is raw data, which is then aggregated and showed in SAP transactions (tcodes) in some (business-)readable form, so access to SAP DB data and access to tcodes is not the same. You need to know how to interpret this data.
I am trying to use performancepoint 2013 services to create a report that simple displays a set of columns from SQL Server Table.
Apparently, PerformancePoint services can only display data from tables when used with analysis services (which i do not have on my SQL Server 2008).
I am looking for a way to make this work:
- Being able to display few columns from a SQL Server table as a report on Sharepoint 2013 using performancepoint services. Is it even possible?
If not, then what are my alternatives?
Please help.

The analytical reports in PPS only support Analysis Services as you mentioned. However what you can try is to connect to your data source using Excel and then build a PowerPivot model using that data. Upload the Excel spreadsheet containing the PowerPivot model to SharePoint and create a new Multidimensional data source that points to your spreadsheet, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff191197(v=office.15).aspx.
Another option would be to use Reporting Services or just simply Excel Services without PowePivot.
I am trying to link a sharepoint list to another using sql server database. The ideal would be for this is to a live link so that when data in the sharepoint list is updated, the data in the sql server database is also updated. The reason that I need to do this is that I have an ASP page which will query the SQL database and display the results on a web page.
Any guidance would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

PS : I have done this in access before using the External Data tab ->
More -> Sharepoint List and then following the steps in the wizard, so
I know it is possible. Just not sure how to recreate this using SQL
Server as the destination for the data.
You can go BCS (Business Connectivity Services) or build something custom using a connector like http://www.bendsoft.com/net-sharepoint-connector/
Here is a small guide on BCS http://zimmergren.net/technical/sp-2010-programmatically-work-with-external-lists-bcs-in-sharepoint-2010
I have a table created in my SQL DB with data filled. I want to create a report out of it with visual display (Graphs). If anyone has done it, please can you suggest if there are any free report engines and how to proceed with my work? I have found one report engine in inetsoft but it is paid.
I am using a MySQL Database. My table layout has 4 columns where 2 areintegers and 2 are strings. I'm using Eclipse, Java, Selenium on a Mac as development environment. I tried with all possible keywords in internet to get freeware to plot the graphs. But I did not find any.
I have explored many reporting tools which are free (data vision) but they don't support graph/chart display.
One more requirement is that the report should be dynamic. that means user is going to select parameters from the report window, which type of chart he wants to display etc. So can anyone help me find such a free tool?
myDBR offers free version and extensive set of available charts in the web reporting system. Supports MySQL, MS SQL Server and Sybase (both ASE and SQL Anywhere).
If you have MS sql server, sql server reporting services is free.
I would like to know the easiest and fastest way to retrieve data from SQL Server 2008 R2 via Sharepoint 2010.
I am new to sharepoint but have been able to create an external content type using Sharepoint designer which connects to the database in SQL Server but I have not been able to use the business web chart to relay the data gotten from the database.
I want to relay information from a customer service database into sharepoint and want it to be consistent.
Is this the best way to go about it or is there a better way?
Many thanks for your usual cooperation and response.
Cheers,

Your best bet is SQL Server Reporting Services, which will need to be installed in Sharepoint integrated mode. It does not have to be 2008 R2, it can be 2008, and the good news is that if you run reporting services on the same server as your SQL databases, you're already licenced for it.
