3 tier mode in BO 4.0

Hi all !
How I can connect to server from client pc at Interactive Analysis in 3 tier mode?
Like server:6400(J2EE Portal).
In R3 i create deski document in infoview to generate this type of connection.
thanks!

deski is gone in 4.0 you have to do it with webi rich client, by creating a webi doc, setting preferences for webi and then opening like you did with deski.

Tim

Problem with application modules and switching from 2 tier to 3 tier mode

Hello,
I've got an application in 2 tier mode. Now I wanted to switch to 3 tier mode but get a class cast exception. It has turned out, that panelBinding.getApplication().getApplicationModule().findApplicationModule returns in 2 tier mode <ModuleName>Impl and in 3 tier mode oracle.jbo.client.remote.ApplicationModuleImpl. But searching for modul name with panelBinding.getApplication().getApplicationModule().getApplicationModuleNames() returns the right in names in 2 tier and in 3 tier mode. Does anybody know a way to access <ModulName>Impl in 3 tier mode?

This is the reason that the BC4J project will create an <appmodulename>AM interface and a <appmodulename>AMClient Implementation that you include on the client side if you expose any methods in your app module. You should access them by casting it to the interface, NOT the appModuleImpl class. If you stick to using the interface, then you should be fine.
So to keep your implementation flexible, you should do this on the client to access your custom methods on your app module:
The BC4J project should generate the following classes:
AppModule Name = MyCustomAM.xml
AppModule Implementation = MyCustomAMImpl.java
Custom AppModule Interface = /common/MyCustomAM.java
Custom clientside AppModule Implementation = /client/MyCustomAMClient.java
On the client, do the following:
import my.bc4j.model.package.common.MyCustomAM;
// Call custom method on App module
MyCustomAM am = (MyCustomAM) panelBinding.getDataControl().getApplicationModule();
am.myCustomMethod(someParams);Hope this helps.

Deski: 2-tier & 3-tier mode

Hi,
We are setting up Business Objects XI R2 primarily for Desktop Intelligence. We will not be using WEBI or InfoView. All users will run their reports via DESKI. However, the one thing I am puzzled about is the 2-tier and 3-tier mode. From my understanding 2-tier mode consists of DESKI and business objects server and 3-tier consists when InfoView comes into play. Is this correct? I tried running a report in 2-tier mode, by logging into the business objects server, it failed with a u201Cconnection or sql sentence error: (da00005) u2013 unable to create connectionu201D. However, after setting up 3-tier key, by logging into InfoView and selecting new > desktop intelligence document, it created a 3-tier file: @xir2dev_dotnet.extranet in the locdata folder and I was able to run the same report against the universe.
Am I missing something? I thought you only need the 3-tier key only if you plan on using InfoView, is this correct? If we need to create the key, we will need the users to log into InfoView for the first time.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Raja

Ok this may be easier if I list the requirements of each mode
full deski client install is required by both 3-tier and 2-tier
Connectivity to the CMS (6400 by default) and direct connectivity to the reporting DB(middleware installed on the client machines) is required by 2-tier
2 tier workflow
launch busobj.exe on client
system has CMS name in it and optional port#
login request is sent to CMS
to refresh reports (middleware must be set up locally on the client) such as SQL ODBC, Oracle, DB2, etc
Connectivity through a webserver (java:8080 or .net:80), connection server(service in the CCM/CMC that deski clients connect to) and DB connectivity(middleware installed on the server) set up on the enterprise server for 3-tier
3 tier workflow
launch busobj.exe on the client
system has globe icon and .net or j2ee (IIS or tomcat typically)
globe icon exists if .intranet file exists in C:\Documents and Settings\taz\My Documents\My Business Objects Documents\LocData on the client
file is created when preferences in infoview are set to launch desktop intelligence and a deski doc is accessed from infoview
file contains the URL of the .net or j2ee web server
Busobj.exe connects via web server (wsdkbridge or something like that) to the connection server running in the CCM/CMC
connection server works like the deski report server in querying DB for reports using middleware installed on teh enterprise server
data is returned to client busobj.exe
In your scenario it would seem that the reporting DB middleware is installed on the server only not the client (thus the Da00005 message).

Freehand SQL support in 3-Tier mode

Hi All,
I'm aware that Free hand SQL is not supported in 3-tier mode in XIR2
Relevant SAP notes Iu2019ve found:
1) 1202464 - Does Desktop Intelligence in 3-Tier mode support free hand SQL as a data provider?
2) 1200737 - Free-hand SQL is not available in Desktop Intelligence
Could anyone confirm that free hand SQL is not supported in 3-Tier mode for BOXI R3 (3.0 and 3.1)?
Thanks in advance!
Ankur.

Hello Ankur, I have tested this issue on XI 3.1 with a pre release SP2 patch and Free Hand SQL is still NOT supported on this new version. This functionality will probably be never be supported due to more efforts being directed towads Webi tools.

Desktop Intelligence XI 3.1 in 3-tier mode and a lot of Oracle sessions

Hi All,
I wanted to set BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 for our customers (they use BOE XI R2 now).
But I met with some problem for Desktop Intelligence in 3-tier mode (ZABO formerly).
Configuration:
BO Server: BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
BO Client: Desktop Intelligence version 12.1.0.882
BOE Connection Server: version 12.1.0.882 (2.0.0.29)
Product database (Data Warehouse): Oracle Server 10g
Database client: Oracle Client 10.2.0.1
Connection type: http (J2EE Portal) u2013 Tomcat
Customer DI Documents contain 10 queries on average.
Problem:
ConnectionServer create a session in Oracle FOR EACH QUERY from Desktop Intelligence document and BY EACH REFRESH.
e.g.:
30 users loaded any reports simultaneously and refresh theirs:
30 users * 10 queries (per 1 doc on average) = 301 Oracle sessions !!! (300 for queries and 1 for connection)
second refresh: 301 + 300 = 601 Oracle sessions
third refresh: 601 + 300 = 901 Oracle sessions
etc. while Oracle server is not down.
For DI doc in 2-tier mode (client-server) u2013 only 1 sessionu2026
Thanks.

Look at the XI3.0 migration guide on that site.
From page 333 onward some good info on the subject of calc. engine changes.

3 tier mode

hi all
SAP BO XI3.1
i want to use 3 tier mode with Deski so
if i automatically create servername.extranet file in LocData folder via InfoView , can i put this file into other client machine without ?

If this is a cluster, you may need to be cautious - but in a standalone deployment - it should work.

Three tier (mod pl/sql) vs. two tier (PL/SQL Gateway)

I've been using 10g Database and 10g application server on separate servers for some time now.
Going the two tier (11g) route has some attractions, but what are the disadvantages?
The Oracle documentation I've seen says very little on making the decision, giving benefits as:
Ease of configuration
Included in the database
No separate server installation
- but no negatives.
Does anyone have any real live experience of comparing the two options?
I'm inclined to believe that three tier might have more tuning flexibility, better performance if each tier is on a different server. Maybe worse than two tier if on one server, assuming two tier eliminates communication overheads..
Does pl/sql gateway have the caching ability of Apache/mod pl/sql - I assume not? - that could make a big difference.
Any thoughts would be welcome...

There are several key performance advantages of OHS over EPG. I'm working a lot with the EPG right now and pushing the XDB team to add several of these features (maybe in 11.2, possible backport, but don't count on it). I used recommendations from the yslow Firefox add-in to do some performance tuning. Here's there list of Best Practices:
http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html
- EPG does not add an "Expires" header. So, lets say you have 25 images in your page template, and none of them change. Each page view will still request those 25 images. They use etags, so you don't have to download the images, but your browser still makes the requests which is quite slow. From my testing, pages could be up to 4 times slower with the EPG with a pretty standard template. The XDB team is aware of this and working hard to resolve it.
- EPG does not support gzip. This is another HUGE performance hit.
Keep in mind you can't test any of those issue with debug mode in APEX, you really need to use a browser plugin such as Firebug + ySlow. The render speed from APEX's point of view will be the same, no matter what HTTP server you use.
The other big on is mod_rewrite support. There is no way easily create friendly URLs for your apps. Another thing to consider is that a number of Identity Management systems, such as Oracle Access Manager (OAM) work by installing an Apache Module or in the case of IIS, some type of plugin (forget what they call it). There is no concept of this in EPG.
IMHO, it's convenient for laptops, but I would never use it for production unless you needed some feature that it exposes, such as WebDav or FTP access to the XDB repository...

Corba error when running rich clients in 3-tier mode.

Hello
I am dealing with an Error when running Rich Clients (WebI and DeskI) with 3-tier ODBC connection to the server.

Login error in 3-tier mode Deski

Hi,
We are getting below error when we try to open 3-tier deski from infoview:
"[repo_proxy 13] HttpSessionFacade::openSession - unable to proceed to the handshake : HTTP communication problem".
Below is detail description of issue how it happened:
1. Users were unable to login to CMC, but they were able to login to Infoview.
2. We found that tomcat process was hung. Therefore we restarted the tomcat.
3. After this first error was resolved. But 3-tier login error started.
We did following thing to resolve the issue:
1. We found that there are no patched applied on server recently.
2. Veryfied and found that All require ports like 6400, 8080 are opened.
3. Users are able to telnet to server from there local machine.
4. We deleted all the entries in the LocData Folder on the client.
5. Tried to restart Tomcat and all the BO Services again.
6. Did the port binding for the CMS and the Deski Services.[Input the IP address/hostname in the place of the Auto Align in the
    CMS server properties]
But it did not help. Issue is still there. We also fould below error in catalina.out when we restarted tomcat:
"Port number is already in use: 8000u201D.
Below are my environment details:

Unable to access connection in 3 tier mode

Hi all,
Product: Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 SP 5 and FP 5.1 on IIS
We have created a small report in DeskI on stored procedures on the DB rather than the universe.
When executing the report on the DeskI at the server locally the report executes brilliantly. But when exported to BO Enterprise and when accessed via the Infoview, it gives the error unable to access the connections defined for the report to run. After which when we click on modify in Infoview, it opens the report in DeskI and gives the same error when trying to refresh the data.
What I am unable to understand is how come it is able to read the connection when I load the report in DeskI directly and the connection fails to work when loaded to the Enterprise hosted on the same server??? Is it a matter of some permissions or network restrictions???

Hi,
To create a WebI report using stored procedures then we should create a universe first. As Universe is the only source for WebI Report. But in DeskI we can directly create a report as datasource can be universe or free hand sql or Stored procedure .......
Cheers,
Suresh ALuri.

Performance issues with LOV bindings in 3-tier BC4J architecture

We are running BC4J and JClient (Jdeveloper 9.0.3.4/9iAS 9.0.2) in a 3-tier architecture, and have problems with the performance.
One of our problems are comboboxes with LOV bindings. The view objects that provides data for the LOV bindings contains simple queries from tables with only 4-10 rows, and there are no view links or entity objects to these views.
To create the LOV binding and to set the model for the combobox takes about 1 second for each combobox.
We have tried most of tips in http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/tips/muench/jclientperf/index.html, but they do not seem to help on our problem.
The performance is OK (if not great) when the same code is running as 2-tier.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I can recommend that you look at the following two bugs in Metalink: Bug 2640945 and Bug 3621502
They are related to the disabling of the TCP socket-level acknowledgement which slows down remote communications for EJB components using ORMI (the protocol used by Oracle OC4J) to communicate between remote EJB client and server.
A BC4J Application Module deployed as an EJB suffers this same network latency penalty due to the TCP acknowledgement.
A customer sent me information (that you'll see there as a part of Bug# 3621502) like this on a related issue:
We found our application runs very slow in 3-Tier mode (JClient, BC4J deployed
as EJB Session Bean on 9iAS server 9.0.2 enterprise edition). We spent a lot
of time to tune up our codes but that helped very little. Eventually, we found
the problem seemed to happen on TCP level. There is a 200ms delay in TCP
level. After we read some documents about Nagle Algorithm, we disabled a
registry key (TcpDelAckTicks) in windows2000 on both client and server. This
makes our program a lot faster.
Anyway, we think we should provide our clients a better solution other than
changing windows registry for them, for example, there may be a way to disable
that Nagle's algorithm through java.net.Socket.setTcpNoDelay(true), in BC4J,
or anywhere in our codes. We have not figured out yet.
Bug 2640945 was fixed in Oracle Application Server 10g (v9.0.4) and it now disables this TCP Acknowledgement on the server side in that release. In the BugDB, I see backport patches available for earlier 9.0.3 and 9.0.2 releases of IAS as well.
Bug 3621502 is requesting that that same disabling also be performed on the client side by the ORMI code. I have received a test patch from development to try out, but haven't had the chance yet.
The customer's workaround in the interim was to disable this TCP Acknowledgement at the OS level by modifying a Windows registry setting as noted above.
See Also http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=328890
"New registry entry for controlling the TCP Acknowledgment (ACK) behavior in Windows XP and in Windows Server 2003" which documents that the registry entry to change disable this acknowledgement has a different name in Windows XP and Windows 2003.
Hope this info helps. It would be useful to hear back from you on whether this helps your performance issue.

How to Use Swing-ADF in a Three-Tier-Archiitecture

I am currently avaluating Swing-ADF (11g) and I wonder how I can leverage it in a three-tier, rich-thin-client-environment. When I bind a control, normally I would do it directly to the database. As I want to have my business logic and database access on the middle-tier, how do I bind my controls to the middle-tier which in turn accesses the database. Does ADF support a mechanism to bind the Swing-Client to the middle-tier-data? Is the recommended way to go for webservices? Can Webservices easily bound to the ADF-controls? Is it the only way?
best regards
Stefan

Stefan,
It is a built-in feature of ADF Business Components to expose an application module as a stateful EJB session bean to support three-tier Swing-client access. It requires absolutely no effort from the developer, who can even easily switch between running/testing in 2-tier or 3-tier modes. Shay's answer is valid for the general case, but in the specific case of what the ADF tech stack can bring to bear to solve your problem, it can be completely simple to achieve (even requiring zero code, if you choose to leverage that feature of ADFBC).

Hi chetan,
As desiging we used to deisgn Data center in 3 tier mode like we server in one zone with one dedicated firewall for ineternet traffic and application server in one zone with another set of firewall gaurding the traffic and database servers for another zone with same firewal gauaruing the traffic.With having secuirty devices in between like IPS and Load balacners on differnect segment to load the tarffic coming in servers with full redudancy you need to have every thing in dual mode like Lan switches,NIC in server,Load balancer,IPS and Firewall to have zero percent loss in Data Center.
