Newbie: What is the best approach to integrate BO Enterprise into web app

Hi
1. I am very new to Business Objects and .Net. I need to know what's the best approach
when intergrating bo into my web app i.e which sdk do i use?
For now i want to provide very basic viewing functionality for the following reports :
-> Crystal Reports
-> Web Intellegence Reports
-> PDF Reports
2. Where do i find a standalone install for the Business Objects Enteprise XI .Net providers?
I only managed to find the wssdk but i can't find the others. Business Objects Enteprise XI
does not want to install on my machine (development) - installed fine on server, so i was hoping i could find a standalone install.

To answer question one, you can use the Enterprise .NET SDK for each, though for viewing Webi documents it is much easier to use the opendocument method of URL reporting to view them.
The Crystal Reports and PDF instances can be viewed easily using the SDK.
Here is a link to the Developer Library:

I answered the provider question on your other thread.
Good luck!

What is the best way to maintain state in Java web apps?

Hi,
been looking at best way to maintain state between requests in JSP.
Ive been trying to use URL rewriting but been getting problems. I understand I can also achieve this using cookies.
Are there any other better ways of doing this.
I don�t know if the problem is with JBuilder4 or something in the Tomcat server?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks.

I think if you use JavaBeans that implements Serializable , it might maintain state (but not sure of this).
HttpSession is one option but , sessions have limitations - they timeout, they don't work when the page is cached by the browser and they don't work if Cookies are disabled in the browser.
Database is always an option, and there are two types of DBs , in-memory like HSQLDB etc , or the regular RDBMS like MySQL , Oracle etc.
If you only want to maintain state between HttpRequests, then use the request object which is implicit in JSPs.
I think your URL Encoding is not working most likely because you have disabled Cookies in your browser and that's why you see jsessionid.
If you enable Cookies in your browser then, the jsessionid should not appear.
There are other options I'm sure, but I'm only aware of the above at this time.... may be someone else might know more.

What's the best approach for handeling about 1300 connections in Oracle.

What's the best approach for handling about 1300 connections in Oracle 9i/10g through a Java application?
1.Using separate schema s for various type users(We can store only relevant data with a particular schema. Then No. of records per table can be reduced by replicating tables but we have to maintain all data with a another schema Then we need update two schema s for a given session.Because we maintain separate scheama for a one user and another schema for all data and then there may be Updating problems)
OR
2. Using single schema for all users.
Note: All users may access the same tables and there may be lot of records than previous case.
What is the Best case.
Please give Your valuable ideas

It is a true but i want a solution from you all.I want you to tell me how to fix my friends car.

What are the best approaches for mapping re-start in OWB?

What are the best approaches for mapping re-start in OWB?
We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
We have number of mappings. We built process flows for mappings as well.
I like to know, what are the best approches to incorportate re-start options in our process. ie a failure of mapping in process flow.
How do we re-cycle failed rows?
Are there any builtin features/best approaches in OWB to implement the above?
Does runtime audit tables help us to build re-start process?
If not, do we need to maintain our own tables (custom) to maintain such data?
How did our forum members handled above situations?
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
RI

Hi RI,
How many mappings (range) do you have in a process flows?Several hundreds (100-300 mappings).
If we have three mappings (eg m1, m2, m3) in process flow. What will happen if m2 fails?Suppose mappings connected sequentially (m1 -> m2 -> m3). When m2 fails then processflow is suspended (transition to m3 will not be performed). You should obviate cause of error (modify mapping and redeploy, correct data, etc) and then repeat m2 mapping execution from Workflow monitor - open diagram with processflow, select mapping m2 and click button Expedite, choose option Repeat.
In re-start, will it run m1 again and m2 son on, or will it re-start at row1 of m2?You can specify restart point. "at row1 of m2" - I don't understand what you mean (all mappings run in Set based mode, so in case of error all table updates will rollback,
but there are several exception - for example multiple target tables in mapping without corelated commit, or error in post-mapping - you must carefully analyze results of error).
What will happen if m3 fails?Process is suspended and you can restart execution from m3.
By having without failover and with max.number of errors=0, you achieve re-cycle failed rows to zero (0).This settings guarantee existence only two return result of mapping - SUCCSES or ERROR.
What is the impact, if we have large volume of data?In my opinion for large volume Set based mode is the prefered processing mode of data processing.
With this mode you have full range enterprise features of Oracle database - parallel query, parallel DML, nologging, etc.

What is the best approach to converting LV7.1 tags to LV2012 shared variables in multiple VIs?

What is the best approach to upgrading from LV7.1/DSC tags to LV2012/DSC shared variables, in multiple VIs running on multiple platforms? Our system is composed of about 5 PCs running Windows 2000/LV7.1 Runtime, plus a PLC, and a main controller running XP/SP3/LV2012. About 3 of the PCs publish sensor information via tags across the LAN to the main controller. Only the main controller is currently being upgraded. Rudimentary questions:
1. Will the other PCs running the 7.1 RTE (with tags) be able to communicate with the main controller running 2012 (shared variables)?
2. Is it necessary to convert from tags to shared variables, or will the deprecated legacy tag VIs from LV7.1 work in LV2012?
3. Will all the main controller VIs need to be incorporated into a project in order to use shared variables?
4. Is the only way to do this is to find all tag items and replace them with shared variable items?
Thanks in advance with any information and advice!
lb
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi lb,
We're glad to hear you're upgrading, but because there was a fundamental change in architecture since version 7.1, there will likely be some portions that require a rewrite.
The RTE needs to match the version of DSC your using. Also, the tag architecture used in 7.1 is not compatible with the shared variable approach used in 2012. Please see the KnowledgeBase article Do I Need to Upgrade My DSC Runtime Version After Upgrading the LabVIEW DSC Module?
You will also need to convert from tags to shared variables. The change from tags to shared variables took place in the transition to LabVIEW 8. The KnowledgeBase Migrating from LabVIEW DSC 7.1 to 8.0 gives the process for changing from tags to shared variables.
Hope this gets you headed in the right direction. Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks,

What´s the best approach to work with Excel, csv files

Hi gurus. I got a question for you. According to your experience what's the best approach to work with Excel or csv files that have to be uploaded through DataServices to you datawarehouse.
Let's say your end-user, who is not a programmer, creates a group of 4 excel files with different calculations in a monthly basis, so they can generate a set of reports from their datawarehouse once the files have been uploaded to tables in your DWH. The calculations vary from month to month. The user doesn't have a front-end to upload the excel files directly to Data Services. The end user needs to keep a track of which person uploaded the files for a determined month.
1. The end user should place their 4 excel files in a shared directory that will be seen by DataServices.
2. DataServices will execute certain scheduled job that will read the four files and upload them to the Datawarehouse at a determined time, lets say at 9:00pm.
It makes me wonder... what happens if the user needs to present their reports immediately so they can´t wait until 9:00pm. Is it possible for the end user to execute some kind of action (out of the DataServices Environment) so DataServices "could know" that it has to process those files right now, instead of waiting for the night schedule?
Is there a way that DS will track who was the person who uploaded those files?
Would it be better to build a front-end for the end user so they can upload their four files directlyto the datawarehouse?
Waiting for your comments to resolve this dilemma
Best Regards
Erika

Hi,
There are functions in DS that captures the input files automatically. You could use file_exists() or wait_for_file() option to do that. Schedule the job to run every certain minute and if the file exists then run. This could be done by using a certain file name with date and timestamp etc or after running move the old files to archive and DS wait for new files to show up.
Check this - Selective Reading and Postprocessing - Enterprise Information Management - SCN Wiki
Hope this helps.

What is the best approach to process data on row by row basis ?

Hi Gurus,
I need to code stored proc to process sales_orders into Invoices. I
think that I must do row by row operation, but if possible I don't want
to use cursor. The algorithm is below :
for all sales_orders with status = "open"
check for credit limit
if over credit limit -> insert row log_table; process next order
check for overdue
if there is overdue invoice -> insert row to log_table; process
next order
check all order_items for stock availability
if there is item that has not enough stock -> insert row to
log_table; process next order
if all check above are passed:
create Invoice (header + details)
end_for
What is the best approach to process data on row by row basis like
above ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

Processing data row by row is not the fastest method out there. You'll be sending much more SQL statements towards the database than needed. The advice is to use SQL, and if not possible or too complex, use PL/SQL with bulk processing.
In this case a SQL only solution is possible.
The example below is oversimplified, but it shows the idea:
SQL> create table sales_orders
2 as
3 select 1 no, 'O' status, 'Y' ind_over_credit_limit, 'N' ind_overdue, 'N' ind_stock_not_available from dual union all
4 select 2, 'O', 'N', 'N', 'N' from dual union all
5 select 3, 'O', 'N', 'Y', 'Y' from dual union all
6 select 4, 'O', 'N', 'Y', 'N' from dual union all
7 select 5, 'O', 'N', 'N', 'Y' from dual

What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive?

What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive? I have a "somewhat" older version of iPhoto (5.0.4), and it doesn't seem to offer anything like that except during the importing phase of syncing my phone...

I wonder, is there room to transfer them to your phone, & then back to filter them?

What is the best approach to capture TBOM's for a SAP SRM system/functionality?

Hello SCN Community,
It would be much appreciated if somebody could share some information about the following....
What is the best approach to create TBOM's for a SAP SRM system? The SRM functionality is basically consisting out of multiple ABAP Web Dynpro's that are connected as a process via a SAP Portal (as is understand it). The entrypint to the SRM functionality is via the SAP Portal.
Do I first have to create a link to the Portal via an SAP Web Application link in SOLAR01 and then start recording? Will it record only the portal objects or also the ABAP Web Dynpro objects?
Do I have to list all the separate ABAP Web Dynpro's in SOLAR01 and use those as a starting point?
I am myself more familair with more classical SAP ABAP ECC systems and transactions. I could hardly find any information on the use of BPCA and the required TBOM's in the area of SRM.... Any help would be much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Guido Jacobs

What is the best approach to setup intranet and internet sites in SharePoint 2013?

I am planning to setup a internet and intranet website for one of our client. What is the best approach to setup this kind of environment?
Some of the users (registered users) from the internet should be able to access information in the intranet site. I have created two web applications for intranet and internet. Is it the right way to go forward?
Thanks in advance! :)
LM

Hi Laemon,
Creating two separate web applications, one for Internet site and the other for Intranet is the right thing you have done.
1. To properly plan creation of your web application, site collection and website is of utmost important to ensure you build your site in a professional and most recommended way. Go through this article from Technet that would help you plan your site in
SharePoint 2013.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263267.aspx
2. Planning and choosing the right authentication type is also a very important decision. I recommend you to go through the below article if you have not already gone through.
Plan for user authentication methods in SharePoint 2013
3. Plan for licensing for your SharePoint 2013 Internet Facing Website.
Licensing Internet Sites Built on SharePoint 2013
SharePoint 2013 licensing for Internet facing sites
4. To grant access to registered users to Intranet site (as you mentioned in question), if you created both web applications in same farm (same domain) then that would be easy to grant access using Site Permission with Windows Authentication enabled for
both web application. If both web applications are created on different domains then If there is a two-way trust in place, and the SharePoint servers have the necessary port access to the remote domain's Domain Controller, then it is automatic. If it is a
one-way trust, then you need to follow these directions:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263460(v=office.12).aspx
If there is no domain trust in place, then you either need to create one, or look at alternative technologies,
such as ADFS.

What is the best approach to insert millions of records?

Hi,
What is the best approach to insert millions of record in table.
If error occurred while inserting the record then how to know which record has failed.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunita

Hello 942793
There isn't a best approach if you do not provide us the requirements and the environment...
It depends on what for you is the best.
Questions:
1.) Can you disable the Constraints / unique Indexes on the table?
2.) Is there a possibility to run parallel queries?
3.) Do you need to know the rows which can not be inserted if the constraints are enabled? Or it is not necessary?
4.) Do you need it fast or you have time to do it?
What does "best approach" mean for you?

What is the best approach to take daily backup of application from CQ5 Server ?

Hello,
How to maintain daily backup to maintain the data from server.
What is the best approach.
Regards,
Satish Sapate.

Linking shared from ryan should give enough information.
If case backing up large repository you may know Data Store store holds large binaries and are only stored once. To reduce the backup time remove the datastore from the backup by following [1] (CQ 5.3 example)
[1] In order to remove the datastore from the backup you will need to do the following:
Assuming your repository is under /website/crx/repository and you want to move your datastore to /website/crx/datastore
    stop the crx instance
    mv /website/crx/repository/shared/repository/datastore /website/crx/
    Then modify repository.xml by adding the new path configuration to the DataStore element.
Before:
<DataStore class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.data.FileDataStore">
<param name="minRecordLength" value="4096"/>
</DataStore>
After:
<DataStore class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.data.FileDataStore">
<param name="path" value="/website/crx/datastore"/>
<param name="minRecordLength" value="4096"/>
</DataStore>
After doing this then you can safely run separate backups on the datastore while the system is running without affecting performance very much.
Following our example, you could use rsync to backup the datstore:
rsync --av --ignore-existing /website/crx/datastore /website/backup/datastore

What is the best approach to generate control numbers from bpel?

1. If we want to control ISA/GS/ST control numbers from bpel, what is the best approach to do that?
2. how to generate these control numbers and where to store them to get a sequence out of it?
Thanks,
Kathar

Internally Oracle B2B uses DB sequence for generating the control numbers. It is the best approach but at the same time it is not very straight forward, specially in case of clustered database. So you may carefully implement same with BPEL.
Hi Anuj,
If we let B2B to generate control numbers in the clustered environment, is there any settings we have to do?
So you may carefully implement same with BPEL. BTW, what is the use case behind this?
We were thinking about using this to send out duplicate messages to two TPs but we decided to go with java callout as you suggested in another thread.
Thanks!
Kathar

What is the best approach to trying to find high freq hits in a file?

Lets say I have a text document that has millions of rows of information like "Name, address, last time checked in:"
What is the best approach if I were to look for the top 5 people who appears the most on this huge list?
Thanks!

If it is not in a database and it's just one fileYou can still put it into a DB.
with all those data, what approach would be good in
the realm of Java? I thought I already said that.
Would Map still be the best
choice?Simplest? Probably. Best? Only you can determine that.
Would the complexity be n^2 since you would
need to put everything in, then compare all the
sizes?No, it should be O(2N) (which is really O(N)). Inseting into the map is O(N), and then iterating once over the entries and adjusting your running top 5 is O(N).
