11g issue in handling file datastore from different server

Hi All,
In ODI 11g we have standalone agent as well as weblogic server agent. In our case master/workrep and weblogic server agent is installed in one of the linux server Say (A).
We have a scenario to pick the file from one of the different linux box SAY (B). We have child agent running on that box and it is associated with the main weblogic agent under load balancing.
While setting the topology information for file datastore it just need the driver name and path. At run time how odi will pick the respective file from that server
Eg:File in location: /app/soa/uo1/testfile/test.txt(B)
File path:/app/soa/uo1/testfile/test.txt(B)
ODI Client will start the execution using the Server A weblogic agent. How ODI will route the control to child agent and try to find the file in ServerB and not in server A.
in my case it is going to server A and saying file doesnot exist......
Is it really possible to assign the proper server detail, so that we can make sure that execution will happen properly. I am not sure about the weblogic agent and how it control the execution. I think in my case its weblogic agent which is trying to look for the file in server A, where it is installed and thus failing.
Control is not passing to the proper child agent as expected?
Any idea?

There is a difference in your understanding of the load balancing and the way it is implemented in ODI agents.
In your case, the weblogic agent exists on Server A and hence it expects that the file also be visible to the agent and be local to server A.
Load balancing comes into picture when there are too many connections for Agent A and it shares its load with other agents. This logic of passing control is within the agent and when file systems come into picture, the filesystem should be visible to all the agents.
There is no concept of parent-child agents. The agents are simply load-share agents.
So, Load balancing is not going to give you what you want.
In your case, you should execute the job using Agent on server B so that appropriate filesystem can be accessed.

Xml file not loading from different server

Hi,
I have a simple flash banner that is pulling a number from an xml file on a different server. When it gets to the frame where the number should be it just says "transferring data from eckul.com" and will not actually pull in the number. Unfortunately I can't put the files on the same servers. Any help would be much appreciated, below are the links and the xml code I'm using followed by the action script. Cheers
http://www.sainters.net/newsletters/2010/flash_test_membership2.html
http://www.eckul.com/number.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<inventors>
 <person>
 <name>892</name>
 </inventors>
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.inventor = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
name_txt.text = _root.inventor;
comment_txt.text = _root.comments;
} else {
trace("file not loaded!");
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("http://www.eckul.com/number.xml");

so, in frame 1 of your fla before you execute that cross-domain load method, use:
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http:www.yourcrossdomain.com/subdirectoriesIfNeeded/crossd omain2.xml");
where the following (crossdomain.xml) is in www.yourcrossdomain.com's root (IF you want to allow allow subdirectory policy files):
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
and in the subdirectory (and its descendents) that you want to allow access put crossdomain2.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="www.thedomainthatstryingtoloadcrossdomaindata.com" />

Read XML file from different server on JSP

Dear All,
I am a newbie to JSP with XML, now i want to read the "test.xml" from JSP.
I read successfully this "test.xml" file from my system and I got output, but I need to read the xml file from
different server like "http://www.domain.com/test.xml". I couldn't read such a type of file from different server.
Is it possible to read a xml file from different server?
If anybody have idea please let me know.

Is it possible to load a dump file collected from sql server to orcle 10gR2

Hi..
As a part of data migration from legacy systems , we need to migrate only required tables from Sql server to Oracle 10gr2 .
At present client is telling that he will give it as dump file.
My question is , Is it possible to load the dump file collected from sql server to oracle 10gR2?
Thanks in advance ..

yes, it is.
Using for example SQL Developer Migration Workbench even allows you to create unload scripts for the desired SQL Server tables and it also creates the DDL scripts for you to create the Oracle tables similar to the SQL Server table AND it alows creates the SQL*Loader scripts that allow you to load the SQL Server generated dump file into the Oracle db.
Here the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
If you do not want to use this utility, you can also use SQL*Loader to load the content of the SQL Server dump file into the Oracle database; but in this case you have to write the whole SQL*Loader control scripts on your own.

What permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)

what permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)
frequently reach the situation, when vendor restores a database, but he cannot access it unless I remap or add his login to the restored database. What permssion can grant the vendor so that he can but only can access the database he restored, not all other
databases.

Hi George,
According to your description, When you move a database from one server that is running SQL Server to another server that is running SQL Server, a mismatch may occur between the security identification numbers (SIDs) of the logins in the master database
and the users in the user database. As other post, you can use the sp_change_users_login stored procedure to map SQL Server logins. Also , you can use the following statement after doing the restore database. It will
fix the mis-mapped SID inside the restored DB.
ALTER USER <username> WITH LOGIN = <username>
For more information, you can review the following article.

Udf to pass constant corrsponding to 2 file names from different location

if i have one source file, i m able to pass the file name directly to the target through the udf below:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
But i have 2 files from different location. Now both files has dates at the end. how can i pass AAA for File1.txt and BBB for File2.txt. .
after the above code, i have included below code too, but not working(*-for date n timestamps):
if(ourSourceFileName.equals("ABC*.txt"))
return "FILE1";
else if(ourSourceFileName.equals("XYZ*.txt"))
return "FILE2";

hi ,
pls refer the below thread :
Dynamic Use of Mime in component
n check wid thomas reply in the thread :
Create the cached response object that we will insert the content
Well you can manipulate the MIME content at runtime by using the API: CL_MIME_REPOSITORY_API. However if your content is temporary, it is more efficient to just place the content directly into the ICM cache. You don't have the overhead of having to both write and then delete it from the database. Here is an example of how you can do this:

Need help doing a reverse of a file on a different server

Hi - I'm trying to a reverse on a file that is on a different machine than my personal pc.
My steps:
1) created physical arch and test was successful to server.
2) log arch and context defined
3) in designer, created a model (as file).
Two questions:
1) What is the best way to reverse? Create a data store under the file model and do the column reverse?
2) My current issue is: When I do a column reverse, it says "The directory $ETL_DROP/sourcefiles specified does not exist" ... but it does.
- $ETL_DROP is an environment var on linux to point to this directory and "sourcefiles" is the subdirectory where source files are stored.
- Also, in the Definition tab, when I click on browse, it gives the same error but then opens up a browse window of my local pc... weird...
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Dan

Hi ,
To reverse engineer a file (including csv or Excel files) using the File Technology, the file has to be local to ODI Designer.
1. If your files are on a remote File System, you will need to copy one of your files to the machine ODI Designer is running on to allow ODI to retrieve the metadata information of the file.
2. In Topology create a Physical Schema, the directory you enter for Data and Work Schema should point at this local file.
3. Then define the File Datastore in ODI Designer. Enter a name, browse and select the file and fill in each filed of the Files tab.
* If its a Fixed file, click on the grid icon on the Columns tab to enter the columns and have Automatic Adjustment checked.
* If its a Delimited file, use the Reverse button on the Columns tab to reverse the columns.
* Right click on the File Datastore select View Data, if you can view data, that means the File Datastore has been defined correctly.
* If not, check each tab of the File Datastore to make sure everything is defined correctly and retry.
4. Once View Data is successful, you may now change the directories (Data and Work Schema in Topology) to point at the remote File System. These directories must be accessible to the ODI Agent that will be used to run the transformations. The directory can be an absolute path (m:/public/data/files) or relative to the ODI Agent startup directory (../demo/files). It is strongly advised to use a UNC (independent from the execution location) for the path. When running the transformations with "no agent", the directory is relative to the directory where Oracle Data Integrator has been installed.

Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

Hi all,
Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues and communications are fine
Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
No messages appear in the RWB
Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for your responses.
I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
Scenario 1
When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg /Folder/Subfolder the error message is as follows
EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
Scenario 2
When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg Folder/Subfolder a different error message is returned
Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
Questions
I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Please advise on next course of action?
Regards,
Mike

Unable to create dataset against OLAP Cube from different server

Hi guys,
If I load Microsoft SQL Report Builder on the BI Server, I am able to create a dataset against the OLAP Cube I created on the BI Server, however if I try to run the Report Builder from a different server I get the following error:
"Unable to connect to data source 'MyOLAPCube'.
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 172.20.112.82:2382
A connection cannot be made to redirector. Ensure that 'SQL Browser' service is running."
I have had no issues starting the SQL Browser service, however if I try to run it in console mode, I get the following error:
'SQLBrowser: Warning: failed starting OLAP redirection services with error 1.'
I have checked online and seen a few similar issues online however I haven't been able to resolve my issue with their resolution.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks
Richard

Yeah there is a firewall running on both servers, however I had opened port 2383 and was still unable to make a connection. It is using a named instance on the server (servername/instancename) and it is configured to use port 0, so I therefore assume
it should be using port 2383 by default? Or as it's a named instance, is the default port 2382? Maybe it would be better to configure it to use a specific port and open the port on the firewall?
Hi Rfla,
As you can see on the link below
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174937(v=sql.110).aspx
Named instances use dynamic port assignments. As the discovery service for Analysis Services, SQL Server Browser service listens on TCP port 2382 and redirects the connection request to the port currently used by Analysis Services.
So you can open the port 2382 for Named Analysis Services Instance remote connect.

everything is working except in the IDOC processing stage, it errors out -
"Error while checking in and storing:

Its is unable to upload file from network drive, it works successfully when the same file is uploaded from application server.
I have worked in other LSMW projects and have successfully loaded files from network drive.
Please let me know what configuration setup is required, is it the content server or the gateway server?
Thanks for all your help.

File transfer from UNIX server to Windows server path

Hello Experts, (Gud Even Gud Aft & Gud Mor)
Is there a way to transfer file from UNIX server(Oracle database), to Windows server? All I know if Windows path. I am able to read the file as it is on server, however it does not recognize Windows directory at all.
If you can share some documents around this to study, I will be grateful.

NFS on the Unix server sharing the directory containing the file. FTP server on Unix allowing the file to be read and copied. OpenSSH on the Unix allowing the file to be read and copied via scp (secure copy).
But seeing as this is an Oracle database forum (not an operating system forum), and the subject matter is the database server languages SQL and PL/SQL, here is a PL/SQL solution.
Create a table using the BFILE data type for referencing the files on the Unix o/s. Provide a web enabled procedure for downloading the files via HTTP using a web browser. This procedure will look something as follows:
--// URL example: http://my-server.my-domain.com/MyDAD/MySchemaName.StreamFile?fileID=1234
create or replace procedure StreamFile( fileID number ) AUTHID DEFINER is
 mimeType varchar2(48);
 fileName varchar2(400);
 lobContent BLOB;
begin
 --// read the LOB from a table (this example uses the
 --// Apex file uploads table - change it to your own files table)
 select
 f.filename,
 f.mime_type,
 f.blob_content
 into
 fileName,
 mimeType,
 lobContent
 from FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ f
 where f.id = fileID;
 --// format a basic HTTP header that describes the file stream send
 OWA_UTIL.mime_header( mimeType, FALSE ); -- e.g. text/csv text/plain text/html image/gif
 HTP.p( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='||fileName );
 HTP.p( 'Content-Length: ' || DBMS_LOB.GetLength(lobContent) );
 OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
 --// now write the BLOB as a mime stream using the Web Procedural Gateway's
 --// doc load API
 WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file( lobContent );
