Date dimension fragmentation from 2 different database connections

Hi Everyone,
In obiee 10g, is it possible to implement fragmentation on a date dimension from 2 different physical database connections (not schemas)?
For example:
Physical connection & dimension 1: physical1.obiee_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date
physical connection & dimension 2: physical2.obia_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date
the fact table will be: physical1.obiee_rpd.w_fact_f.fact
The 2 physical dimension tables will be joined to the 1 fact table in the physical layer.
I then create a BMM with 2 LTS : physical1.obiee_rpd.w_mcal_day_d and physical2.obia_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.
I then create 1 logical column in that BMM which sources both physical1.obiee_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date and physical2.obia_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date.
Then, i set up fragmentation to use physical1.obiee_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date when physical1.obiee_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date < '04/30/2012' and use physical2.obiee_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date when physical1.obiee_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date >= '05/01/2012'.
The problem is that the query that answers generates always uses physical1.obieerpd.w_mcal_day_d.date , regardless of the date filter applied!_
Any tips?
Thanks!

Hy,
Can you try the following.
Define:
- one logical date dimension with two logical table sources (physical1.obiee_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date and physical2.obia_rpd.w_mcal_day_d.date)
- one logical fact table with two Logical Table Source (LTS). And in each LTS, define the same logical level in the content tab and don't forget to check the checkbox "This source should be combined with other sources at this level".
Cheers
Nico

APEX Application accessing data from two different databases

Hi All,
Currently as we all know that APEX Application resides in database and is connected to the schema of that database.
I want APEX Application to be running and accessing data from two different databases. Elaborating my question,
Currently, my APEX Production Application is connected with XXXX Schema of DB1 Database(Where APEX Resides). Now I want to add some pages into this APEX Application for REPORT Purpose, But I want to connect this REPORT APEX Pages to get data from Different Schema YYYY for Database DB2.
Is it possible to configure this scenario?
The reason for doing this is to avoid the REPORT related (adhoc queries) resource utilization effect on Production DB1 Database.
Thanks

1. If you do the joining of two or more tables in DB1 then all data is pulled over to DB1 and then the join is executed: so more data over the databaselink and more work for DB1. Better keep the joining stuff where the data resides and just pull exactly that data over that you need.
2. Don't know about your different block sizes. Seems a nice question for one of the other forums (DBA or SQL).
3. I mean create synonyms on DB1 for reports VIEWS in DB2.
Hope all is clear!

How to add two different database connections on Model

Hi,
In my application, I need to create View Objects on different databases. So I need to add two different database connections on the Model.
But it seems like Model can be connected to only one database. I tried adding another project to add the second db connection. But after I created a read-only View Object in the second project, it didn't generate corresponding data control in the Data Controls panel.
Could anyone help me on this?
Thanks!

Do you mean adding the second project folder in ViewController->Project Properties->Libraries and Classpath?Yes, either that or: ViewController -> Project Properties -> Dependencies
And I didn't see the first Model project in the ViewController classpath. Otherwise it wouldn't work. The first model project IS in 'classpath'. Here's how:
ViewController -> Project Properties -> Dependencies
I tried this and recreated the View Object. Still didn't generate the datacontrol. No idea why you had to recreate the VO.
Is your VO in an application module inside the SECOND project?
After you are sure that everything is in the ViewController's classpath, just try restarting JDeveloper.
This is very basic. has to work.

Different database connection or proxy user change

Hi forms guys,
in everyday life I am fulltime DBA, so please forgive my spare forms word pool.
Our users open a forms application that displays a menu with forms applications the user has access to. Users can then click on the menu items and another form pops up. Now having reviewed the code, I can say that the opening of the new forms is done by calling the builtin OPEN_FORM. As parameter "SESSION_MODE" for this function, "SESSION" is supplied. If I understand correctly, this means that another session using THE SAME username/password/connectionstring is created (for the purpose of parallel transactions in parent and child form).
At the moment each and every user (~400) has it's own database account which has roles (depending on the applications they are granted access to) assigned and also sometimes owns dblinks and synonyms. We want to get rid of them by storing the credentials in OID and just create ONE single application user for every application we host. This user shall contain all nescessary objects such as dblinks and private synonyms.
The enduser then logs in using the proxy mechanism. For example if user XYZ (defined in OID) wants to start application ABC, then he/she connects like XYZ[ABC_APPUSER]/XYZPASSWD. This must occur when the form opens, directly after the OPEN_FORM call.
Now my question: Is this possible somehow? Is there a way to have different database connections within a single forms window, if there are different forms? Or is it possible to make a switch to another proxy user within forms? e.g. JDBC has the ability to quickly switch to an other proxy user, without having to re-establish the whole session.
All I have read so far tells me, that it is not possible. But I would really like to hear that acknowledged by experts. Also other, perhaps better ideas for our intention are welcome.
Kindest regards
Matschbirne

Not really sure how to answer your question other than to say that from within your form's pl/sql you can connect and disconnect as often as you like programatically. However, you can only have one connection at a time (as far as I know). So if you connect as SCOTT and later want to do a login as FRED, you can do so, but SCOTT will no longer be connected.
Forms does support using Oracle SSO, but for the most part cannot directly access OID. Also, the db login information needed by Forms (when using SSO) is stored in a RAD (Remote Access Descriptor) in OID. The RAD behavior is unique to Forms and Reports. For each SSO user there is a related RAD. At the moment, there is no provided way to have RAD groups (e.g. Admin, Sales, Guests, etc). So each user get their own RAD.
If you are using Forms 11.1.x, Forms now supports db proxy users.
More information about SSO and Proxy users with Forms can be found in the Forms Deployment Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/sso.htm
In the code, you can control the connection using the LOGON, LOGOUT, and LOGON_SCREEN built-ins. Refer to the Forms Builder online help for details on how to use these.

How to host one application using different database connection on OAS?

Hi,
Jdeveloper - 10.1.3.4
Application - ADF/BC
Oracle Application Server - 10.1.3
Above our the specifications for our application,
We have two database schemas different for development and production therfore we have different databse connections for the two,
we have one application which is in production and enhacements on the same application are done by the development team.
Since we have two different schemas for developement and prduction we use different database connections for the application on development and production.
The problem is our Model and View Controller project are same, only the database connection file changes that's why we are able to host only on application at a time on our OAS. This is probably because the URL generated by OAS for developemnt and prodyction application is same.
Is there a way we can host two instances of the same application with two different database connections on the a single OAS.
Thanks & Regards,
Raksha

Use different deployment profiles each with a different context root for your application?

Different database connections at runtime

How can I change different database connections at runtime on the same Application Module ?
I use BC4J as business layer and uiXml as presentation layer.

Different database connections

Hi,
I have a problem in an application with two different database connections.
I divided it into three projects one is the model project for a mysql database, one I the model project for an mssql database and one is a jsf project.
But I only can use the first database project I add to the jsf project.
If I use the other SessionFacade he uses the wrong database driver.
My question is, is it possible to access two different databases out of one project?
Thanks,
John

Date/Time erros when working with Database Connectivity toolkit

Hi!,
We are observing errors with date/time when working with LV. The error occurs when the system datetime format is set such that day precedes month (e.g. dd/mm/yyyy). Our VI uses LV 7.1, Database Connectivity 1.0 and SQL Server 2000 on a Win2000 machine.
Problem details
Our database in SQL server has a table having columns with data type "datetime"
If the system date format (as set in control panel) is "mm/dd/yyyy", the 'insert into database' vi works fine. This function inserts the date and time (among other things) into the above mentioned table.
However, when the system datetime is set to dd/mm/yyyy we start receiving error that date and time is beyond range for dates in which the date had the day field greater than 12 (e.g. 23/10/2005). With the same settings, if the date is such that day field is equal or less than 12 (e.g. 03/10/2005), we do not receive an error but the date is interpreted as 10 March 2005 rather than 03 September 2005.
Clearly LV (or is it SQL) is mistaking the day field as month.
We have taken care that when sending and receiving date, the format date and time string is set as per system settings.
Thus, if system setting is "dd/mm/yyyy" our format string is "%d/%m/%Y"
And if the setting is "mm/dd/yyyy" our format string is"%m/%d/%Y"
Any help on problem cause and cure is welcome.
Thanks,

Hi Xu,
You answer led me to some very interesting fact finding on how SQL server handles date and time. I have attached a zip file which contains webpages that throw more light on this issue.
The attached pages tell me that SQL has an inbuilt date/time reference format. The default in mm/dd/yyyy. Which explains why my VI worked when I used that format to write to SQL.
However there is a catch:
SQL expects the date/time to be in its inbuilt reference format when you WRITE data to SQL. If the date/time is in a different format, better tell SQL about it by using say the SET command you mentioned.
BUT what about the date/time format when you are reading data from SQL?
Our finding is that SQL sends date/time string in the system date format when you READ from SQL !!! That is very surprising behaviour (why differentiate between write and read?).
Is our finding correct?
So, we adopted the following simple strategy (yet to be fully tested):
1) Whenever we write date/time to SQL, the string is formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Presently, the user's SQL server is in the default state. Caveat is that if the user changes SQL date/time from default (which is mm/dd/yyyy) to anything else, our software will give errors. But then he changed it ;-)
2) When we read date/time from SQL we format the string as per system date/time format.
I know this is not very robust coding. But assuming the user keeps his SQL in the current setting, should we expect smooth working?
In other words, are there any errors and/or flaws in our strategy?
Thanks,

Table transformation from two different database

Hi all,
I am trying to load table from one database table to another database table in ODI 10g.I have created two physical and logical topology.
But when in interface design i have drag the source and target tables in the diagram window, but here it doesnot shows the auto mapping options, when i try it manually by dragging a field, i have failed. when i execute the operation the following error occured:
create or replace view db1."C$_0 W_INT_ORG_D"
as select
from     db1.W_INT_ORG_DS W_INT_ORG_DS
where     (1=1)
here both the source and target db are same..
How can i resolve it

Hi,
Thanks it worked.
I am getting another error on Insert flow into I$ table step.
I am connecting two database from two different hosts, both are in oracle.
I have two logical schema prepared for both database.
should i have to mentioned these schema in one physical topology? what should be placed in schema and work schema option.
I have used LKM Oracle to Oracle(DBLINK) as KM.
Please help
Best regards,

Restoring a database from a different database

I want to restore database new2db from newdb. both dbs are on different sql server instances.
I have backup of newdb called newdb_july.bkup.
I ran the below command :
restore database new2db from disk = 'c:\mssql\backup\newdb_july.bkup' with file=1,
move 'newdb' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\new2db.mdf',
move 'newdb_log' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQLServer\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\new2db_log.ldf',
replace,norecovery,stats=10
the restore completed successfully but the database is still in 'Restoring' status.
how do I get the database in active accessible status?
appreciate the feedback.

Yes norecovery if you want to restore more tlog or diff backup files... If you use recovery then you cant further restore any more tlog or diff backup's..
WITH RECOVERY includes both the redo and undo phases and recovers the database; additional backups cannot be restored. This is the default.
If the roll forward set has not been rolled forward far enough to be consistent with the database, the undo phase cannot occur. The Database Engine issues an error and recovery stops.
If the whole roll forward set is consistent with the database, recovery is performed, and the database can be brought online.
WITH NORECOVERY omits the undo phase to preserve uncommitted transactions. Omitting the undo phase allows for restoring other backups to roll the database further forward in time. Occasionally, RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY rolls forward data
to where it is consistent with the database. In these cases, the Database Engine issues an informational message stating that the roll forward set can now be recovered by using the RECOVERY option.
With the REPLACE option, restore allows you to overwrite an existing database with whatever database is in the backup set, even if the specified database name differs from the database name recorded in the backup set. This can result in
accidentally overwriting a database by a different database.

Query to compare 2 different tables from 2 different database

Is it possible to write a SQL query to compare 2 Tables from 2 different Oracle Database. Also I need a query to do the same when the database is same.
Thanks in advance

OK, well "compare" can mean one of two things: Compare structure or compare contents. Here is a quick script to compare column structures of two tables on one database:
(select COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
DATA_LENGTH,
DATA_PRECISION,
DATA_SCALE,
NULLABLE
from dba_Tab_columns
where owner=:OWNR1
and table_name = :tablename
minus
select COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
DATA_LENGTH,
DATA_PRECISION,
DATA_SCALE,
NULLABLE
from dba_Tab_columns
where owner=:ownr2
and table_name = :tablename)
union all
(select COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
DATA_LENGTH,
DATA_PRECISION,
DATA_SCALE,
NULLABLE
from dba_Tab_columns
where owner=:ownr2
and table_name = :tablename
minus
select COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
DATA_LENGTH,
DATA_PRECISION,
DATA_SCALE,
NULLABLE
from dba_Tab_columns
where owner=:ownr1
and table_name = :tablename)
If this query returns any rows, then these indicate that there are structural differences between the tables. We do a minus in both directions to ensure that an additional column in either schema will be returned in the query.
If you are going across dblinks to remote tables then you have to amend the "dba_tab_columns" to "sys.dba_tab_columns@yourdblink"
If you also want to compare indexes, triggers, etc then do the same sort of thing for the associated dba_ views for those objects.
And if you want to compare table contents, then often the fastest way is also to check minuses in both directions, if the tables are not too big:
e.g.
(select * from schema1.table@dblink1
minus
select * from schema2.table@dblink2)
union all
(select * from schema2.table@dblink2
minus
select * from schema1.table@dblink1)
local tables, of course, simply omit the "@dblink" issues.
There are tools to help in such things. TOAD, for example, has a pretty good schema comparison tool, and there are plenty of other options out there. But if you need to script this yourself then the logic I've shown is a good starting point.
Cheers,
Mike

Calling one applet from another passing database connection

How to combine 2 the same tables from 2 different databases

We have made 2 databases company1 and company2
Both databases contains the same tables
Now we want to make a report with server reporting services. The report must give us information from the 2 databases.
We use the following query:
SELECT     '501'as divisie, GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.[Debtor code] AS Debiteur, GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.cmp_name AS Naam, SUM(GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.[Outstanding Amount]) AS Saldo,
                      GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.blokkade, GRV_Debtors.City
FROM         [501].dbo.GRV_DebtorOutstanding2 INNER JOIN
                      [501].dbo.GRV_Debtors ON GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.[Debtor code] = GRV_Debtors.[Debtor code]
WHERE     (GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.blokkade = 'B')
GROUP BY GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.[Debtor code], GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.cmp_name, GRV_DebtorOutstanding2.blokkade, GRV_Debtors.City
ORDER BY Debiteur
when we use the same query to select the data of the other database in the same query it doesn't work. I have tried it with the command Union All
But it crashes,
please help, to fix it

Hi Robert,
According to your description, you have created two same databases. When you run the same query for the second database, it doesn’t work.
In your scenario, since databases are the same and the query for first database can work fine, it should also work when query the second database using the same query. When you create second dataset, please check if you have used a correct datasource
which is second database. Then try to run the query again. If issue persists, please share the error message around the time when you query the second database.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Querying from two different databases

Hi All,
I have a Adhoc requirement where in i have to do a select from two tables, but one of them resides on a different database.
The tables have a common primary key, so i can do a one to one match. Is there anyway to query them without using a DB link?

Hi!
I think - if u create a global synonym using that dblink - next time u can use that synonym and u don't have to use any dblink further.
Regards.
