DATEV Connection

[#1]

Hi everyone,

has anyone ever connected directly to a DATEV-System?

Help is appreciated.

Thanx

Hi Sabine,

have you managed to connect to your DATEV-Data?

If yes:

Supposed that DATEV is somehow based on a SQL-Server (as stated in http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DATEV) - is it specially secured? (how?)

Can you tell me anything about the underlying datamodel?

regards,

Edgar

Hi Edgar,

sorry for the late answer.

Yes, DATEV is based in an MSSQL-Server but DATEV does not allow any connection except their own programm.

I am still working on it.

Last year, we tried to win a project related to connecting a financial service supplier (credit bank) with DATEV.

We did this in cooperation with Qliktech, and as far as I remember, they claimed to have something like a DATEV connector (or the knowledge to do so). Unfortunately, we haven't won the project, so I don't have any personal experience with connecting to DATEV.

But it may be worth contacting Qliktech and ask for a way to connect to DATEV. There is also a show case (ADI Gmbh), that also reference a connection to DATEV.

@Sagar:

And why do you SPAM this thread with questions which don't have anything to do with THIS topic?

@Stefan:

thanks for the hint.

@Sabine:

still working on it, too 🙂

I think the problem is that you probably don't have a working superuser for the SQL-Server (or at least not his password).

There seems to be a way to get this problem solved according to this http://www.tutorials.de/relationale-datenbanksysteme/348871-mssql-datev-datenbanklogin.html - unfortunately I have to wait for our IT guy to give it a try...

Nice try, but hacking the DATEV-DB can not be the solution.

You will definitely loose your support and I do not want to know what effect this might have when you will be audited.

I want the solution for my customers so if that works or not I would never recommend to do so.

The only chance is to work together with DATEV and persuade them to publish a user with reading capabilities.

Hello Sabine,

I totally agree with you 😉 the linked page was only to show the technical possibility. We will definitely talk to DATEV, too. Perhaps we'll get "our" user...

Hello Sabine,

just a little update:

We managed to get our data out of DATEV with the krexport program. You hardly find any useful information on its syntax, but we also got the program's documentation on request from DATEV.

It's not our preferred way, but it's one where we don't loose support and with a little bit of scripting we finally can use DATEV-data.

regards,

Edgar
