1 user license access multiple database

Hi all...
I have a question :
In SAP B1 8.8, can 1 user license (for 1 physical user) access multiple databases?
Multiple database is created for Head Office and Branches.
Since Finance Accounting Manager is centralized at Head Office, so the Manager must have access to multiple databases.
Can only 1 user license applied to this Finance Accounting Manager?
Regards,

Hi Ingrid,
Finance/Logistic/CRM Limited will perform as professional user license in the multiple db accessing in one server except the functionality authorization. You must make sure that all the users that use the Finance/Logistic/CRM Limited license have the same user code in the dbs

Using Single Datasource to Access Multiple Databases

Hi,
We would like to know the pros and cons of accessing multiple
databases through a single datasource, versus accessing each
database through its own datasource. Our environment includes
multiple web servers w/ the latest version of ColdFusion MX 7,
clustered through a load balancer. Each web server has 800+ dsns
pointing to different SQL databases on the same SQL server. We have
noticed that the ColdFusion administrator is taking a long time to
display or verify all datasources and sometimes it even times out.
Another problem is that sometimes the neo-query file gets corrupted
(for unknown reasons) which results in the deletion of one, or
more, or all datasources on the web server.
Because of the issues above we are researching the
possibility of removing most of the datasources, and then accessing
each database through a single bridge datasource. In that regard we
plan to change our queries by inserting the sql db name and user in
front of each table in the query such as:
<cfquery name="query" datasource="single_dsn_name">
select * from [#dbname#].dbo.tableName
</cfquery>
In the example above, obviously #dbname# would be a variable
that will hold the name of the requested database. The code above
would similarly apply to queries using, update, insert and join
words.
Are there any limitations or negatives from scalability,
performance, and reliability perspective in implementing the above
scenario versus having one datasource for each database.
Also, if there is a better way of accomplishing this, we
would love to hear about it.

Here is my opinion, because I work with both schemas. The
main advantage to use one datasource for all DBs in a SQL Server is
the simplicity of administration.
But the main disadvantage is security, because you are using
a single user to access all DB in a server, you don't have
isolation, and a user that knows your schema can access data of
other DBs that he sould not be authorized.
Another issue is is a user must access 2 differents DB with
different permissions (a DB only read and the other read/write),
you'll have to create another datasource, user, etc for it.
But the decision depends in the enviroment. If you are a
hosting company, I would use 1 datasource for user or DB. If the
servers and DBs are of the same company, I could use one datasource
for each SQL server.

Accessing Multiple Databases

I have a requirement in which I will need to use the same classes to
access different databases. In other words, let's say I have a Person
class. I'd like to use the enhanced Person class to pull people from a
SQL Server database, and an Oracle database.
The documentation mentions that you can access multiple databases by using
different kodo.properties files with different names. However, it doesn't
mention using different mappings, that I can see.
What I'm thinking I could do is extend kodo.jdbc.meta.FileMappingFactory.
Then I could have a .mapping file for each different database. My
extension would just need to know to access *.sqlserver.mapping or
*.oracle.mapping for instance.
Is this plausible? If so, any hints on extending FileMappingFactory? How
is that guy determining the name of the mapping file? Can I simply
override a method?
I'm hoping this will work, so that I don't have to create a
SQLServerPerson and an OraclePerson. Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Ok, in answer to my own question, I'm providing the following which I hope
Abe or Stephen will look at, and tell me this won't break everything.
It seems that jdbc-class-ind is only read at the base level, and thus I
couldn't add an "indicator" for each of my subclasses. So, as I wrote
previously, I needed a way to read my jdbc-class-ind-value in my .mapping
file for each class. Here is the code I came up with:
<code>
public class MyFileMappingFactory extends FileMappingFactory {
JDBCConfiguration myConfiguration = null;
static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MyFileMappingFactory.class);
public synchronized void readMapping(ClassMetaData type,
MappingInfoRepository repos) {
super.readMapping(type,repos);
try {
String[] persistentClasses =
myConfiguration.getPersistentClassesList();
MappingRepository mappingRepos =
myConfiguration.getMappingRepository ();
for (int i=0;i<persistentClasses.length;i++) {
String className = persistentClasses;
try {
Class clazz = Class.forName(className);
ClassMapping mapping = mappingRepos.getMapping(
clazz, clazz.getClassLoader(), true);
mapping.addExtension(
"jdbc-class-ind-value",
mapping.getMappingInfo().getAttribute("jdbc-class-ind-value"));
catch (Exception e) {
log.error("Could not set jdbc-class-ind-value for class '" +
className + "'.");
catch (Exception ex) {
public void setConfiguration(Configuration conf)
myConfiguration = (JDBCConfiguration) conf;
super.setConfiguration(conf);
</code>
I did a lot of introspection using JBuilder as well as the Javadoc to
figure out what I needed to call. Basically, I need to have
kodo.PersistentClasses set in my config file, and I added an attribute to
the .mapping jdbc-class-map element. Finally, my kodo.properties has to
point to my custom MappingFactory.
It all seems to work, but I wanted to verify with the experts I'm not
breaking anything. I had hoped to figure out how to put an <extension> in
the .mapping file so that it stood out even more as being "custom code",
but could not figure out how to read such an element.
Steven Kouri wrote:
I think you've answered my question, but it doesn't help my problem. I
actually did both: I loaded the static classes in my code as well as used
the kodo.PersistentClasses property. Neither helped this situation.
The reason it seems is when the fromMapping() gets called. It only got
called after calling execute() on my query. Thus, the rest of my mappings
hadn't been loaded yet. I put a breakpoint in fromMapping(), and here was
my stack trace:
execute()
executeWithArray()
executeWithMap()
internalCompile()
getMetaDatas()
getMappings()
getMapping()
getMappingInternal()
getMapping()
getMappingInternal()
intialize()
fromMapping()
So, I need to figure out a way to get my code to read all the mappings
before I do an execute(). I think. :) I'll investigate further unless
you can give me a pointer in the right direction.
Thanks!
Steve
PS: 1pm? 1PM? I'm here before 7am! But then, I usually leave at 4pm. :)
Abe White wrote:
Is the .mapping file preparsed, or is it only accessed when a class is
requested from the datastore?
We only resolve mappings when the classes are actually used. Have you
listed all your persistent classes in the kodo.PersistentClasses
configuration property, as suggested by the documentation for
MetadataValueIndicator?
PS: It's 5:37pm on a Friday. I'm going home. You should too! :)
When you decide to start work at 1pm, you tend to stick around a little
later.

ADF app, single deployment - possible to access multiple databases?

Hi,
I am writing an ADF app that I'd like to connect to multiple different databases. In other words the app will be deployed once on a Weblogic server and will use a parameter to connect to the appropriate database for each user session. Ideally there will be no hard coded connection details embedded within the app before it is deployed, the different potential connections should be able to be administered on the app server.
I have been looking at Dynamic JDBC Credentials and understand it is used to connect to different database users - can it also be used to connect to different databases?
Alternately, is there a way to switch between different JDBC Datasources at runtime?
ADF/Jdeveloper 11.1.1.3, WLS 10.3.3.

Kevin.

How to access multiple database present in single instance

Hi Team,
In oracle 11.2, can there be multiple databases in an instance??? In one of our environment, I could see multiple databases in an instance. Could you please help me in giving the data dictionary or query to access those databases?
Actually, querying v$database, I could see only one database which is same as instance name. But in inventory, there are multiple database in an instance?
I am still not exactly clear about this. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks!
Vidhya

In Oracle one instance manages one (1) database. A database consists of multiple *schemas*.
Other vendors erroneously call a schema 'database'.
So, no, you didn't see multiple databases.
There is also one datadictionary, consisting of a set of views.
All views beginning with dba_ list the entire database, all schemas.
All views beginning with all_ list the objects you have access to.
All views beginning with user_ list your own objects.
The view DICT show you the contents of the datadictionary.
Oracle also has online documentation at http://docs.oracle.com
From your question it is clear you should read the document called the 'Oracle Concepts Manual'.
You can find all documentation for 11gR2 here Oracle Database Online Documentation 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Too many people here don't make any effort to read it. This is probably the reason why you got no response.

To direct the users to access multiple DB's through a single webserver

Dear all
Im using Tomcat 6.0.14 version. i want to direct the users of my web based application which i have build using JSF to multiple DataBases, based on their logging information. DataBase version is informix online 7.3 .
Since we are using a single web server, i want to connect them without going through multiple web servers
How can i do this ??
Hope ur kind attention will be for this to overcome
best regards

Eng,
Thanks for your response.
When we send each ST/SE segment to B2B from BPEL, we are overriding the ISASenderId property by setting a value in Internalproperties.
This value will not be same if the order belongs to different customers. So when such orders(ST/SE) with different Over-ridden sender Ids are being batched in B2B(they will be sent to a single TP) , it creates a single file with multiple ISA segments, by batching all the ST/SE belonging to one senderid in each ISA.

Oracle dblink to sql server, accessing multiple database on same sql server under one dblink

Hi, we have successfully managed to set up an Oracle dblink over to sql server and retrieve data.
The sql server user were using via the dblink has access to more than one database on the same sql server
But the question is how in oracle (if at all possible) do you prefix the sql statement to access this ?
Eg:
Sqlserver_prod has user sqlserver_user which appears to be set up as default database on sqlserver_db1
But we have select access to sqlserver_db2
all work fine as sqlserver_user
select * from table_fromdb1
select * from dbo.table_fromdb1
select * from sqlserver_db1.dbo.table_fromdb1
as does
select * from sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
over in Oracle
Oracle_db has dblink sqlserver_prod.world connecting as sqlserver_user
all working fine
select * from "table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
select * from "dbo"."table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
but how (if at all possible) do I access from oracle
sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
without having to create a new sqlserver_db2_user referenced in a new dblink
if oracle to oracle would be
select * from remote_oracle_schema.table@remote_oracle_db

Hi, ok cheers, I see, original gateway was connecting purely at host_name level
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host
Planning to amend this to be
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db1
With exisiting dblink
And to create new gateway
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db2
With new exisitng dblink,will see how we get on
Cheers again

Designer 6i accessing multiple database

Hi
I have just installed Des6i and a repository in a particular Oracle 8i DataBase on Windows 2000. I would like to acess other Database (on Linux) with the same Designer and Repository. Is it possible?
It seems that I have to install one repository per Database. Am I wrong somewhere?

It's like client-server. Client is your Designer and repository is a server part.
And granted users can use your repository and you can use several repositories(with diferent conectstring).

Generic Reports accessing Multiple Database Servers

Hi,I have a report which is accessing a table present within SQL Server. This is done by creating a system DSN which points to SQL Server at report design time through the database expert from the Crystal Reports Developer. The same table is also present in another database server ie ORACLE. The requirement is that I should be able to execute the report against ORACLE database at runtime. I have seen a lot of examples to do this using ODBC and OLEDB ie changing datasources at runtime but all of these have to specify the database username and password at runtime. Is there any way for me to achieve this without passing the username and password at runtime? If so it would be great if i could get all possible approaches to achieve this. Thanks in advanceJoseph Samuel 

I am doing the samething.
I found that if the report is created under OS Auth mode of Oracle, then it is OK in integrated security mode in runtime, you don't need to set any logon information in runtime, but sure, please follow the OS Auth requirement of Oracle.
But if the report is created using stand security mode and wish it to be run under integrated security mode in runtime, then a logon error would occurs, but if the crystal report view control set to enable the database logon promot, then we can still enter something in username textbox and check the "use integrated security" checkbox, then the report is still OK.
I wish to have the database logon prompt disable and override the logon information in program in runtime and let the report shown without any problem, but up to now, i still have no any idea. I will come back after I got any solution for this.

Using Java within a stored proc to access multiple database connections

Hi List;
We have an environment where we have needs to provide cross database visibility between Oracle, Sql Server and PostgreSQL. So we need the capability for Oracle to query PostgreSQL and Sql Server tables, PostgreSQL must be able to query Oracle and Sql Server tables and Sql Server must be able to query Oracle and PostgreSQL tables.
I'm thinking that we can implement stored procs which are either written in java or call a java process . The java code in turn should be able to connect to any DBMS desired via JDBC query the tables in question and return the result set to the calling database.
Any thoughts on how feasable this is would be appreciated. Does this seem like a solid solution? Any initial concerns or red flags? what about performance via JDBC?
Thanks in advance for your help.

John,
from your description I understand that you essentially program the VO yourself. So I suggest that you read chapter 35.9 of the 'Fusion Developer’s Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework' (I guess you know where to find it). Since you still call the actual SQL not all of the chapter apply, but you get the idea how it works.
And yes you analyzed the behavior correct. executeQueryForCollection() is allways called bevore getQueryHitCount().

OO4O - Excel user forms accessing Oracle databases

Hi,
A friend of mine have been doing some tests with Oracle Objects for OLE. It worked very well so far.
He was able to connect, insert, delete, update and query using VBA code.
However, he wants to develop an application with excel userforms. He is using Oracle Data Control, but how can he connects userform field with database field?
Please, send him sample code if possible: His e-mail address is [email protected];
Thanks in advance,

Universe accessing multiple databases

Hi,Here is the problem I am facing:1. we have 20 databases. The structure of these databases is same, data is different. 2. we need to create an XI environment, where people can query on these databases using web intelligence.How can I create 1 universe that can read from 20 different databases?Thanks.

A stupid method:
- Duplicate the universe 20 times and create 20 connections to 20 DB
- one universe connect to one DB
- In webi, uÂ add query for theÂ DB you want
Â any better methods ?Â

Multiple Database access in a single transaction

Hello All,
I have read in a book which states that "according to J2ee Specification,a single transaction(an EJB method for example) may not be provided access to multiple JDBC resource providers.."
Does it mean that i cannot access multiple databases from different vendors in a single EJB transaction??
Any help is very much appreciated
Thanks

Hello Sebastien,
Thanks for your response!!!
Let me make it bit more clear.In deploymewnt descriptor,we define jndi name for any resource and do a lookup on that resource from the code.
Let us consider that resource as JDBC data source for our discussion.usually you define any jdbc data source under a JDBC resource provider.
So my question is,in a single transaction can you access multiple data sources defines under multiple JDBC resource providers.
Ex:A datasource "x "defined under resource provider "A"[say DB2 jbdc provider] and a datasource "y" defined under respurce provider "B"[say mysql jdbc provider].
Thanks

Restriction on accessing public database link

How to restrict certain users from accessing public database link.

ravi02, sb has pretty much nailed the answer in that if you make the link public then anyone can use it. However, is the link in question a fixed user link or a current session user link? With a fixed user link then whatever access is granted to the fixed user is available to any user who has access to your instance. On the other hand if each user is required to have their username created on the remote instance then object and role grants issued on the remote instance can still limit what objects a user may reference.
