Multiple data sources and cubes for mining

We have two data sources:
 1 - OLTP database for transactional operations
 2 - Data Warehouse for analysis
We use change data capture to track changes in the OLTP and upload to DW each night.
Currently, we have one cube built on top of our DW for analysis and KPI's etc
However, if we wish to use the OLTP DB for data mining, can this done in the same solution using a new data source or do we need to create a new cube etc?

Hi Darren,
According to your description, you are going to use the OLTP DB for data mining, what you want to know is can this done in the same solution using a new data source or do we need to create a new cube?
In your scenario, if the cube structure for data mining is same as original cube, then you needn't create anything, just edit the connection of the data source to point to the OLTP database. If the cube structure for data mining is not same as original
cube, then I am afraid you need to create a new cube.

  • Multiple Data Sources and Accessing External Java APIs

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a couple of questions for which I was not able to find satisfactory answers in the forum search, so here they are. I would be really grateful if you can help us out with this.
    1. Accessing two Data Sources in the same report: We have a requirement to access two data sources in the same report, and use the data from one source to run a query on the other source. Our product (OIM) has its own DB. And it integrates with BPEL (another Oracle application) for some functionality. BPEL has its own DB. A few reports need data from both these repositories. For simplicity, consider that we need to join two tables, but one table is in OIM DB and the other is in BPEL DB. I guess such a join is not possible. So to work around it, we would like to run a query against one DB and then use the results to run a query on the other DB, which will basically simulate the join by running two queries.
    Is something like this possible in BIP? If not directly available, can you suggest something which can act as a work around to achieve this?
    2. Calling External Java APIs from BIP: We need to call some external APIs (for achieving Data Security) 'before' we run the queries in BIP. Basically the Java API will specifya set of keys which will have to be used in an 'in' clause. I looked at the section "Building a Data Template" in the BIP User's Guide (http://bipublisher.us.oracle.com/doc/prod_docs/BI_Publisher_10_1_3_3_3/bip.1013/b40017/T421739T434255.htm). As far as I can see, it discusses how to invoke a PL/SQL procedure using <datatrigger> but the usage is not clear to me. Is there any other document that discusses this in detail? Also, I am not sure if it is possible to access Java APIs. Has it been done before? If yes, then can anyone provide some sample code (sample report bits) which I can refer to to get this thing working?
    Also, the data coming from the Java API may not be in the correct format. We may have to do some additional processing (like converting data in a Java Object to something like comma separated list to be plugged into a query). Is that possible? What will be the best approach here?
    Sorry for the detailed post!
    Thanks,
    Jatan

    Yes you should be able to use both - for example using a Flash Variable to pass in the URL of the XML that you want to load.
    FlashVars are only supposed to be passed in on startup and they are defined as part of the OBJECT/EMBED tag for the HTML.
    Actually it was possible to update FlashVars at runtime in Xcelsius 4.5 with certain JavaScript calls but not in Xcelsius 2008 (because Adobe Flex which Xcelsius 2008 is based on does not allow the same mechanism).
    FYI, for those that are interested in Xcelsius 2008 you pass values into/out of Xcelsius at runtime using External Interface and JavaScript instead.

  • Multiple data sources for 1 info object

    hi all,
    i am working with ods 0fiap_003 info source overview u can see for 0comp_code
    Company Code: Attributes and Tests (Flexible Update) this is a transaction data  data source.
    G/L Account: Attributes (Flexible Update) this is a transaction data  data source
    G/L Account: Texts (Flexible Update) 0GL_ACCOUNT_TEXT   this is a transaction data  data source
    and there r master data data sources for these objects
    G/L Account  hierarchy text  attributes r available.
    so only for 0gl_account  5 data sources available.
    3 master data ds.2 flexible data trans data data sources.same for comp code.
    so how can we map for these 5 dsources  in this scenario.
    i am going to create process chains for master data(3) transaction data(1).
    should i put trans .data  info packages in the transaction data process chain
    ex: G/L Account: Attributes (Flexible Update) this one.
    plz suggest me
    regards
    sridhar

    Hi Sri,
    There can be multiple datasources assigned to a single master object. Only they should be unique per source system.
    Regarding process chain, u should include the infopackage for transaction data in trans data process chain. This is because ur job scheduling for master and transaction load would differ. So the process chains should be separate.

  • Configure a single ODI install for multiple Data Sources in ERPI

    I am setting up multiple data sources in ERPI to point to different EBS instances. How would I go about setting up ODI to support that without multiple installations of ODI? or is multiple installs the best way to go, from an 'ease of management' perspective?
    Thanks!

    First off - Have no knowledge of ERPi - Just googled it.
    If its any help, we have multiple instances of EBS on the same box, we have seperate DWH (and ODI Work / Master Repos) environments aligned to these instances. An ODI Agent can only communicate with one ODI Work repository, hence we have Multiple Agents so we can use the EBIZ -> DWH pairs simultaneasouly.
    Maybe someone will come along and tell us how it could work differently, until then - its works for us!

  • Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

    Hi all,
    Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
    Looking forward to ur reply.

    Hi
    OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
    To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

  • Report Viewer and Multiple Data Sources

    I know that it is possible to create a report in Crystal Reports using multiple data sources.  But is it possible to use just the Free  Report Viewer to view a report with Multiple Data Sources?
    Our company uses Crystal Reports XI.  I do not use the program myself, I am in the IT Department.  I have limited knowledge of Crystal and do not do any of the report writing.
    If this is possible, and if someone could help me out with what would need to be done, or point me in the right direction of a Knowledge Base or Help Topic that explains this, that would be great.
    Thanks.

    I believe it can but both data sources need to be set up. Ask a report designer to help you use the Designer to test this and see what is required.

  • SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

    The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:

    Hi jeffoliver1000,
    According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
    In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
    actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,

  • OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

    We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
    For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
    Testing...
    Failed.
    SQL Exception
    Repository Error:SQL Exception..
    Class Name: CacheMediator.
    Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
    Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
    For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
    Testing...
    Failed.
    API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
    Repository Error:SQL Exception..
    Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
    Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
    Method Name: -1.
    Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
    However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWB’s utility SQL Plus.
    Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

    As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
    Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
    I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
    - the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
    - long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
    What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

  • Adding multiple data sources for P6 Analytics Star 3.4

    I need to extract data from 3 data sources and put into one star. I installed the necessary software, did the necessary configurations as per the documentation provided.
    Example:
    C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl
    C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl02
    C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl03
    When I run the staretl process for 2nd source or 3rd source, I am not sure why the startetl.properties in C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl\res is getting updated (Source changes to 2nd source or 3rd source as per the run). DBLINK01 is also getting changed.
    Please advise.

  • Single .rar file for multiple data sources

    Can we configure multiple data sources into single .rar file? . Currently,
    we are creating a seperate .rar file to configure each datasource by
    'only' modifing ra.xml file. This is proving to be a tedius operation in
    some cases when the application is integrated with multiple data sources.

    Siva-
    Unfortunately, no. One of the limitations of the resource adapter spec
    is that it doesn't provide a means of specifying multiple separate named
    configurations, so you can only have a single configuration.
    If you need more flexibility, you may want to consider programatically
    building up the PersistenceManagerFactory and then binding them into
    JNDI.

  • Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
    Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
    Thanks
    Kumar

    Hi Ashok,
    Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
    [ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
    Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
    For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
    These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
    The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
    The item status  - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
    These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
    In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
    If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
    ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
    The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
    The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
    Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards,

  • Report model to have multiple data sources

    Hi,
    We have requirement to develop report model in 2008 having multiple data sources which includes SQL SERVER 2012 and Oracle database so end user can all the relevant data in one place to run in report builder. So please advise how this can be achieved.
    One option I can think of pulling all the data into one database through SSIS and then build a smdl on it.
    I heard it might be possible to build Tabular cube and then use Report builder on it not sure which is the best option unless any other solution.
    Thanks,

    There are multiple options
    1. If its just for need of a single report then you don't necessarily need to use SSIS and bring all data to single database for that. SSRS supports multiple heterogeneous datasources so you can simply create multiple datasources one fro SQLServer and one
    for Oracle. Then you can create datasets based on these datasources and use them inside reports to display the data from the two systems.
    One thing to note here is that SSRS provides only limited capability to merge fields from multiple datasets within same container through the use of Lookup, LookupSet etc functions so if you want to do lots of comparison ,manipulation of fields against two
    datasources then you need to go for common database approach itself. This involves building a datawarehouse/datamart which will assmeble data from various sources and change them into format which  report expects. Then its just a matter of using single
    datasource pointing to this common repository for your reports.

  • Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

    I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
    Any pointers/links would be appreciated.
    Gaff

    Hi Vetsrini :
    That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.

  • Multiple Data Sources In One Logical Table

    I am new to OBIEE and I have came accross an issue. I appologize if this information is in the forum somewhere but I have searched and cannot find it.
    My situation is that I would like to have one logical table that contains multiple data sources which have all the same columns. I already have session variables setup to differentiate the user's security through a row-wise variable for a specific column and a session variable for another column which determines the user's association to the data source in which they belong to. This security works well when the data sources are seperated in the Business Model and Mapping portion but the issue that arises is that the user's cannot share reports when the data sources are seperated in the BM&M.
    I have dragged and dropped a table from the Physical model to the BM&M, I then dragged the second data source (with same meta data structure) over to the "Sources" folder in the first data source table in the BM&M. On the Content tab or each data source table I have defined the WHERE clause as such, where VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") session variable is my row-wise column filter and the VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP") filter is my data source determinative:
    sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.HOME_SCHOOL = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
    Unfortunatley this only returns values in the BI Answers for the first drag and drop Pysical table in the BM&M layer and not the second Physical table drug into the "Sources" folder. I have also tried to create a new logical table and drag both tables into the "Sources" folder to no avail. I have experimented with the Fragmentation content on the "Content" tab of the seperate logical tables, checking the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level", which gives me an error in BI Answers that a column does not exist which really does.
    What could I be missing? Advanced thanks to those who reply.
    Thank you,
    Kyle

    Stijn,
    Thank you for the article link. That was very helpful! It seems that I had a few things off as you do need the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level." checked. In my two table source columns for DATA_SOURCE I defined a literal ('086496' and '085597' for the other) in the Column Mapping tab. I pasted the following in the Fragmentation content, checking the "This source..." box on the Content tab:
    eSIS.SANDBOX4_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = '086496'
    And pasted the following into the WHERE clause, checking "Select distinct values" on the Content tab:
    sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.SCHOOL_CODE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
    This took care of my user's security, utilizing the session variables in the WHERE clause. I am now able to generate reports that only one user can access from one data source and share that same report with another user who can only see data from the other data source.
    Many thanks!!!
