OBIEE and Oracle Apps

Hi,
We have OBIEE integrated with Oracle Apps. During installation we also get the Vanilla rpd. we are also using another new module which uses another database but not the Oracle apps. We have requirement of OBIEE reports on this module. This databse is an OLTP database. We are trying to add another source to the rpd and pull these tables and create a subject area. My understanding is that this is possible. So we will have two sources. One that came in the vanilla rpd which is datawarehouse and the other which is OLTP for the new module. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

hi User,
You are doing correct let me add some points
which uses another database but not the Oracle apps. We have requirement of OBIEE reports on this module. This database is an OLTP database.You have Different connection pools by default when u install oracle Apps next,you are customizing the rpd by adding some OLTP database ,
Merging the Vanilla rpd + Custom rpd (i mean connection pools)
make sure that all the join conditions to be made and report should be from theis subject area
thanks,

OBIEE and Oracle Apps (E Business Suite) SSO implementation

Hi Gurus,
We are using apps 11i and OBIEE 10.1.3.4 . I would like to ask that is there any doc which could provide me steps of SSO implementation between both. Or if not in doc is there any body who incorporated the same. Here we dont have DAC and ETL as Informatica for etl we are using plsql. I want to make it work like when user types his id and password in Oracle E business , automatically he should be also directed to OBI also same user id and password could be used to the OBI. Please remember my OBI is not from apps package. It is EE and not OBI 7.9.6 So is it possible to implement SSO between OBIEE and apps 11i and how ?
Thanks,

Though this is not your complete answer, at some point this link might be of help to you if you have OBIEE hosted on Windows box.

Application Server and Oracle Apps - basic doubts

Hello
I am pretty new to Oracle 9iAS and Oracle Apps 11i
Please clarify my basic doubts
Read that Oracle9i AS Components are :
- J2EE and Internet Applications (sub-components are Oracle HTTP Server, OC4J, Web services etc)
- Portals
- Wireless
- Web cache
- Business Intelligence
- E-Business Integration
Read that middle tier of Oracle Apps has following servers
- Web server
- Forms server
- Concurrent Processing server
- Reports server
- Discoverer server (optional)
- Admin server
My doubts are -
1. When Oracle Apps 11i is installed, Oracle 9iAS becomes the middle tier of it
Yes / No / Partailly ?
2. If partially, then only the 'J2EE and Internet Applications' component is installed
Yes / No / Partially ?
3. If partially, then Web server (Oracle HTTP Server) and Forms server come from Oracle 9iAS and Report Server, Concurrent Processing server, Admin server etc seperate components only specific to Oracle Apps 11i ?
Yes / No
Please let me know the answers with the explanation
Thanks a ton

Oracle Applications 11i uses Oracle 9iASv1 (10222, specifically) as the underlying midtier technology stack. The latest release of 11i (11.5.10), to be released this summer, can leverage specific features of Oracle AS 10g (904), namely SSO authentication and OID user management, Portal, and Discoverer. This capability will be backported to 11i releases 11.5.8 and 11.5.9, and is currently available now to limited customers through the Early Adopter program. When installed in this configuration, there is a 9iASv1 tech stack installed as part of the 11i installation, and a separate AS 10g installed for SSO, OID, Portal, Discoverer, and any other AS products the customer may be using. Aside from SSO, OID, Portal, and Disco, 11i does not yet run on other components of 9iAS or 10g (e.g., OC4J). Applications plans to move to 10g as the underlying tech stack in a future release.

Oracle OBIEE and Oracle EPM (Hyperion)

We are planning to upgrade Hyperion EPM version 9.3.3 to the latest verison but we also purchased OBIEE, and Oracle (Hyperion) Planning. I am wondering if anyone has done this and how they all integrate together. My understanding is we have to upgrade from 9.3.3 to Oracle EPM 11.1.2.x and then to 11.1.4.x. Oracle (Hyperion Planning) would be intregated into Oracle EPM 11.1.4. How does OBIEE fit in and where are the integration points?
I am trying to keep the administration to the minimum as well as plan for the future upgrades as weel. Is there any Oracle documenation on this? Has any one done this yet?

You can integrate EPM with OBIEE but as far as I know there are specific versions that can be integrated.

Login in to OBIEE with Oracle Apps Credentials

How can i connect to OBIEE repository and presentation services using Oracle Apps (ebusiness suite) user name and password the same way it can be done in discoverer.
if anyone can point me to a link or give me his own opinion on how to do that please do.
Thanks

Hy Daan,
You are the king of Ebs.
A little search on google over ExternalLogon, return me on this page :

11.5.3.2 Specifying the External Login for Single Sign-On with EPM Workspace
An external token (or ticket) can be passed to Oracle BI Presentation Services by another system, which facilitates the use of Single Sign-on with EPM Workspace and Oracle BI.
To configure for a token to be passed from EPM Workspace to Oracle BI Presentation Services for Single Sign-on, you must add or modify the <ExternalLogon> element of the instanceconfig.xml file as follows:
<Auth>
<ExternalLogon enabled="true" logonPageAllowed=”true”>

Discoverer 11g and Oracle apps

I have setup discoverer and everything is working. When calling from oracle apps, I am getting this error:
Could not locate or parse the .dbc file /ebs02/prod/discoverer/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_2/config/Discoverer/Discoverer_asinst_2//corpdevpl200-fin_prod.dbc corresponding to the given Oracle Applications instance.
The problem is the double slash before the dbc file. Where would the trailing slash come from? Any advice is appreciated.

The issue was that the opmn.xml file had a slash at the end of the fnd_secure variable, I removed it and the double slash problem was resolved! I did not edit the script, this was from the install. Possibly not many people have integrated 11.1.1.7 discoverer with EBS and make the call to discoverer from menu in EBS, hence this has not been reported.

Oracle Streams and Oracle Apps 11i

Hi,
I am looking for an oracle solution to build a reporting instance off an e-business suite 11i and offload discoverer reporting to the reporting instance. I have tried dataguard logical standby but too many issues and I cannot use. I am wondering if anyone tried using oracle streams to build a reporting instance from an oracle apps instance?
Thanks

Hi,
Is Streams supported in an E-Business Suite database? We once had a scenerio where some parameters for Streams were conflicting with parameters required for E-Business Suite performance improvement. I could not find any documents from Oracle to verify whether Streams on E-Business Suite database was a supported configuration or not.
So if you have any such document, could you send the link to me?
Also please provide the link to your white paper/presentation.

Sujoy

Squid in Fedora 13 and Oracle Apps

Hello,
I hope I put this in a right forum. I'm trying to setup squid in Fedora 13 and get a problem with Oracle Apps. I'd setup so that only certain user can request http service by setup authentication. By default, there's already acl rule for port 1025-65535 and I'd created a rule to allow access to my domain for our local user.
For the port the acl is like this : acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535
For the domain the acl is like this : acl tstdomain dstdomain_regex \.testdomain.com$
Now what I want to have is if a user doesn't have authentication, he/she can still access local webpage in our server, such as webserver or Oracle E-Business Suite.
I'd tested, using a user that doesn't have authentication, and can access all my server if the domain doesn't have any port but it didn't work for Oracle E-Business Suite, because to access the format is like http://hostname.domain_name:port_number.
Is there anything I need to add/change? thanks.

TommyReynolds wrote:
Do you have squid listening on the {font:Courier}:port_number{font}? There is an entry for that in the squid config file.Hi Tommy,
you mean beside the standard port to listen I must add another port to listen? So instead of having :
http_port 3128
I must have :
http_port 3128
http_port 8000
in my squid.conf?
Thanks
Had tried but that thing didn't work.
If I bypass squid then the connection to oracle ok. Even I entered username and password still can't access oracle but other web is ok. So something need to be done in squid. Anyone can help? Thanks.

HOLAP - using OBIEE and Oracle OLAP

Hi
How to implement HOLAP in OBIEE (with Oracle OLAP cubes) as below –
1. For an aggregate table, there are 3 dimensions each one having 4 levels within its hierarchy.
2. We create an aggregate table at the lowest level of each dimension.
3. We create a cube for rest of the levels and its combination for the same measure.
Can we implement this and how?
Thanks

Thanks Nazar for your reply.
On Cube based MV usage - The idea is to have lowest level summaries in relational. Higheer level in cube based on MV. So in case there are queries that can get rewritten , they will retrieve data from the cube itself.
On hierarchies -
If we take the example of oracle provided GLOBAL application and check the product dimension -
========================================================================
CREATE TABLE "GLOBAL"."PRODUCT_DIM"
(     "ITEM_ID" VARCHAR2(12 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "ITEM_DSC" VARCHAR2(31 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "ITEM_DSC_FRENCH" VARCHAR2(60 BYTE),
     "ITEM_DSC_DUTCH" VARCHAR2(60 BYTE),
     "ITEM_PACKAGE" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
     "ITEM_MARKETING_MANAGER" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
     "ITEM_BUYER" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
     "FAMILY_ID" VARCHAR2(4 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "FAMILY_DSC" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "FAMILY_DSC_DUTCH" VARCHAR2(60 BYTE),
     "CLASS_ID" VARCHAR2(4 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "CLASS_DSC" VARCHAR2(15 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "CLASS_DSC_FRENCH" VARCHAR2(60 BYTE),
     "CLASS_DSC_DUTCH" VARCHAR2(60 BYTE),
     "TOTAL_ID" VARCHAR2(15 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "TOTAL_DSC" VARCHAR2(15 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "TOTAL_DSC_FRENCH" VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
     "TOTAL_DSC_DUTCH" VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
     CONSTRAINT "PRODUCT_DIM_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("ITEM_ID")
USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 COMPUTE STATISTICS
STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT FLASH_CACHE DEFAULT CELL_FLASH_CACHE DEFAULT)

PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT FLASH_CACHE DEFAULT CELL_FLASH_CACHE DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
========================================================================
Now , if this was TYPE 2 dimension and if you had possibility of late arriving sales data where you need to pick up "point in time" attributes of the product. How can I model dimension hierarchy in that case in OLAP?
In the Oracle example, they have kept it simple TYPE 1 so ITEM_ID can be kept as the key. However, if I had the PRODUCT_DIM as a TYPE 2 dimension table and i was using sequence generated surrogate key as the PK of the dimension table, how do i model it in OLAP?
Thanks

Squid and Oracle Apps

Hello,
I hope I put this in a right forum. I'd put in the Linux (Non OEL) forum but still not solved yet.
I'm trying to setup squid in Fedora 13 and get a problem with Oracle Apps. I'd setup so that only certain user can request http service by setup the authentication.
By default, there's already acl rule for port 1025-65535 and I'd created a rule to allow access to my domain for our local user.

I'd tested to put the port & allow http access specifically like this:
acl oratest_port port 8000
http_access allow oratest_port
and even removed the port restrictions
but still not worked.
If I take out the squid proxy and connect directly to Oracle Apps it worked without any problem.
Is there anything I need to add/change/misplaced? thanks.

The first thing you need to do is learn how to connect to an Oracle database using Java on your pc. Then you can start branching out.

Development Question Pertaining to Discoverer and Oracle Apps

Hi All,
I have a Disco Development question. First of all I am in an Oracle Apps environment.
Here is my situation. I received a specification to make sure our End User Layer has the capability to create a workbook
which has the following information in it:
1. Onhand inventory by lot information using the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Demand pegging (from the msc_demands table) associated with this onhand inventory.
3. Accounting cost information (GL_ITEM_CST information).
4. They also want more detailed item master information information (e.g. catalog descriptive element information and costing category).
Here is a solution to address this:
-Take existing inventory by lot views we have and use the the gmf_period_balances table in lieu of the mtl_onhand_quantity_details table. Within this same
view, add pegging information. This has been implemented in a development environment.
-Take existing costing views (using the component_cost_details table) and replace with the gl_item_cst.
-Take existing view associated with item detail information and make sure all catalog descriptive elements and costing category information have been added.
My next main dilemma for this problem is to address the best way to join these views in the Discoverer end user layer. Here are the approaches I see:
1. Encapsulate the item detail information with the onhand, period end with pegging view. Next, create a join with the costing view.
     pros: In my testing of this, the totalling works with extending item costing (item cost x onhand inventory).
     cons: Refresh times and scalability of this solution are concerning (consider a couple of people using this at the same time). Also, there is no nice
     way to join these two views (there is a n x m relationship between these two views). For instance, the costing calendar is used in the accounting costing
     view, and the general ledger calendar is used in the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Abandon a two or three view approach. Create an uber view which encapsulates the onhand quantity, pegging, standard costing and item detail information.
     pros: A more simpler end user experience which should then allow for the totalling to work.
     cons: Very easy for an end user to obtain a result set which is part of a cartesian product (e.g. multiple general ledger periods are included in this workbook
     with multiple costing periods). Doubtful that this workbook would be refreshable.
3. Fan trap solution which would be some variation of onhand view being joined to an item details folder which is joined to the pegging details updated.
     pros: Without too much work, I am able to get this to work, except totaling.
     cons: Totaling.
     Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding the best approach.
     Thanks,
     Patrick

Hi,
Where you have complex joins I would always go for a single view. It keeps Discoverer simple and allows you to concentrate performance effort building the view. Generally you can build in conditions to stop a cartesian product.

ADF and Oracle Apps

I have heard that OAF is much better for Oracle Apps related work than ADF. Is that true?
Can ADF work with Oracle Apps better than OAF?

Umm ..I would put it this way .. OAF is tightly integrated with Oracle Applications which does not necessarily mean that it is better than ADF.
The entire fusion applications has been built on ADF - so have no doubt that ADF is good to work with Oracle Apps. ADF is going to be the future of interacting with Oracle Apps .. just my 2 pennies :)
