Accessing Essbase database from BI Admin tool

Hi,
I want to create a new RPD using Essbase database.
I want to know how to configure Essbase data source so that I can use it for my rpd file.
I have BI server installed on server machine and BI admin tool on my laptop
I am using version 11.1.1.5.0
From manual what I understood that on BI server machine, Essbase client libraries must be installed and the same client libraries should also be installed on machine where BI admin tool is installed.
I tried to ask my collegues, but got different openions. Some of them said essbase client libraries are not required on machine where BI admin tool is installed.
Please tell me correct way and step to configure Essbase as datasource for my RPD, wether I need to create a DSN on my laptop poiting to Essbase datasouce , etc.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

Hi Bala..
Thanks for your help
Can you tell me where is the bi-init.cmd file located?
I installed BI admin tool on my laptop, but could not find this file in any folder..
According to manual, I understand that to access Essbase data source, I need to install Essbase client libraries on BI server and on laptop where where BI admin tool is installed and
creeate two variables and set them in bi-init.cmd file.
Nw I want to know whether I need to create those two variabvles on BI server machine and update bi-init.cmd file on BI server or I need to create those two variables on my laptop where I have installed BI admin tool? As I mentioned above I dont see any bi-init.cmd file in BI admin installation which I did on my laptop.
Either my installation has not happened, or this file is created on BI server and not on my laptop ?
Please help me to understand the problem. I need to create Essbase datasousrce connectibvity and create a RPD based on this data source.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks
Santosh

Have you tried restarting the services and giving it a try?
Which version of Essbase/Planning are you on?
If your Essbase server name has more than 30 characters, please use NODENAME with short server name.

Trying to access 10gr2 database from sqlplus utility but it connects to 11g

Hi All,
I am facing below issue while access 10gr2 database from sqlplus.
I am having two oracle homes on one server one belongs to 11gr2 and another belongs to 10gr2.
I want to access a 10gr2 database through sqlplus utility.but instaed of connecting to 10gr2 it is connecting to 11gr2 after I enter a user name and passowrd.
I have set all the env variables such as oracle_home ,oracle_sid and path with respect to Oracle 10gr2.
Can you please let me kno what I need to do to connect to 10gr2 database and not 11gr2 database through sql plus.
Let me know if I need to give any more details on this.
Best Regards,
Dipti S

Hi Rocky,
I got the resolution.
I made a mistake by creating an oracle instance/service(e.g. fsdmo) when Oracle_home was pointing to 11gR2 Directory.so that service was refering to 11gr2 oracle home.
hence when I was setting oracle_sid(fsdmo) and trying to access database instance from 11g sqlplus utility ,it was directing to 11g and not 10g since oracle service was pointing to 11g.
So now after chnaging the oracle home directory to 11g,I am creating a service and its working fine.
thank you so much for responding.
hope I am clear with my reply.
Best Regards,
Dipti S

WHY can't I access my database from an applet???????????

The security code won't let my applet access its own database (from its own server)..
I'm using getDocumentBase()
to try and tell it that it is my own damn file..
I keep getting :
java.securityAccessControlException: access denied <java.util.PropertyPermission jdbc.drivers write>
...etc.
This applet crap is really starting to piss me off. I can see why they came out with JSP.
All I need to do is access my database, update it, etc. It kind of defeats the purpose of being able to do jdbc from applets if you can't even access the database on your own damn server.
If you all don't have a clue, I'm freakin switching to PHP--I'm tired of this crap-I was thinking Java was a damn good language until I hit applets.

The simple answer to your question is: Because of security concerns.
The somewhat longer answer is that directly accessing a database from an applet is generally not a good idea. A lot of security-critical code like DB username/password must be hidden in the applet which potentially can be downloaded (and disassembled) by anyone that hits your webpage. Maybe you do an intranet solution with trusted users but that is not what applets were originally designed for.
The clean way is to make your applet talk to a servlet that talks to your database.
If that is not the way you want to do it, make sure that all client policy files (yes, on the browser machine) contain the permissions that your applet needs.

Using MS Access as Database from Remote Machine

Hi All
I am trying to use MS access as Data base, I have done the following.
1. I have Added the mdb file on a remote machines DSN.(Control Panel->Admin Tools->ODBC->System Tools)
2. In xMII data services->Data Servers, Copied the Default IDBC Server, renamed it and updated the ServerURL as jdbc:inetdae:<IP of Remote machine>:1433?database=<DB Name>&sql7=true.
With these things done, I am not able to get the Data Server Accesible.
Please correct what mistake I have made.
Thanks and Regards
Rupesh

Rupesh,
First Access is not a very good database... I would suggest using MSSQL, MySQL, or some other 'real' database. But I digress...
The only supported way to get the data you want from Access is by... you guessed it... the <b>xMII OLEDB UDS</b>. Sure you could try the JDBC - ODBC bridge, but this seems to be shaky.
Martin - seriously... I'm trying to get the UDSs out to all of you!

Accessing mysql database from oracle using dg4odbc

I've been trying to create a database link from a MySQL database to Oracle using the Oracle dg4odbc gateway. I downloaded and installed DataDirect's ODBC package which includes mysql ODBC library (ddmysql24.so) and a generic ODBC libary (libodbc.so). After creating the DSN in odbc.ini, I tested it and it can connect to the mysql database. Then I created the init{SID}.ora file in hs/admin directory, added dg4odbc lines in the listener.ora, and added lines in tnsnames.ora. Then I tnspinged the new SID with success. Finally, I created the database link. However, when I tried to access the database link using the commands "select * from mdl_user@moodle;", I got the ORA-28500 error like the following:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[DataDirect][ODBC 20101 driver][20101]You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '"mdl_user"' at line 1
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MOODLE
My mysql database is utf8 by default. Do I have to use latin1?
It seems to me that the dg4odbc translates the sql commands incorrectly (having double quotes around the selected table).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jeffrey

The syntax error occures for example when MySQL isn't running in ANSI mode and thus does not allow double quotes around the objects. DG4ODBC 11.1.0.6 by default always adds double quotes to table/column/view names.
A quick test to check if you hit the double quote issue would be to set the MySQL DB into ANSI mode:
- Open SQL*Plus
- execute:
DECLARE
ret integer;
c integer;
BEGIN
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@moodle;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@moodle(c, 'SET SESSION SQL_MODE=''ANSI_QUOTES'';');
ret := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@moodle(c);
dbms_output.put_line(ret ||' passthrough output');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@moodle(c);
END;
- Now run your select statement
=> if it now works, you can permanently change the MySQL config to be ANSI compliant or you can apply the 11.1.0.7 patchset to DG4ODBC.

Cant Access external shares from my admin account

Hi,
the title says it all.
No matter if I try to connect via smb or afp. If I try to log in from the admin account to external afp or smb shares the login is refused cause of permissions.
IF I do switch to a user other than the system admin account, the access to external shares works like a charm.
In my case its an external NAS from Buffalo (Linkstation Duo).
Also from other Lion machines ... no problem when trying to access that share.
Im aware of the DHCAST128 changes but as you can read above it seems that this is not the issue.
Any hints or suggentions?
Thanks!
Andrew

Hi-
You can use the account that you use daily, as SuperDuper will clone the entire drive, which includes all accounts, applications and data. SD will require an administrator password to run the cloning, but this can be done from any account.

Accessing another database from HTMLDB

All is there a way to do selects on another database from within an HTMLDB application.

We have several applications on our intranet, all requiring login & password. I was unable to hit the needed tables directly outside the application as I'm not a DBA and they've never given me access to the schema names. So while trying to connect to those same tables as I do with Crystal Reports, I just went to the network drive where the TNSNAMES file is located, hunted for the IP of the server I was looking for, used that SID and did the following:
Database Link Name - (whatever I want)
Connect to Schema - (used my username that I use with crystal)
Password - (same password used in crystal)
Remote Hostname or IP - used stolen IP found in TNSNAMES
Remote Host Port - used port found in TNSNAMES
SID or Service Name - same as in crytal but also found in tnsnames.
After that I had no problem hitting the tables I wanted as my username and login gets me the access I need.
I can't tell for sure why I don't need the actual schema name and why my username works instead. I'm just glad it does as I can now use the necessary tables to do MY authentication scheme without relying having to ask to get access to the scheme used by the department. They wouldn't give it to me anyway:)
Hope that helped, I know it didn't explain why it works tho.
Not sure what you mean by the SQL query... that is done for you in HTML DB in the connect string created by the link.
If you mean how do you hit the link you use it prefaced by the at sign "@" as in gimme what I want from the database @(the link name you made)

Access DB2 database from IRIX machine.

Hi ,
I am using DB2 database ,which is sitting on AIX machine.
And i want to access database from IRIX 6.5 (SGI machine).
I think there is no driver to connect DB2.
If any body knows how to access
Thank you for your help.

Since I've never used DB2, and Irix last ten years ago, I feel fully qualified to answer :-)
Get a JDBC driver. Googling for db2 jdbc driver site:ibm.com gives 3860 hits; remove site:ibm.com if you are interested in third party drivers.
Check if your DB2 installation contains the file db2jcc.jar - that seems to be the "DB2 Universal JDBC Driver", apparently a Type 4 driver (type 4 is a Good Thing). I can't find offhand if the driver is a separate product or comes with DB2.
Check out e.g. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2help/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/t0010264.htm

Efficient access to database from web services

Hi
I'm implementing a web service interface to a database. The interface allows its clients to perform a series of independent operations which change some values in a database. Each of these operations is an independent web service, but all of them use the same database.
My first approach was to make each service completely self-contained, and have it create its own JDBC connection to access the database. However this doesn't sound very efficient.
I mean, isn't the application server there precisely to provide these types of services to the applications it hosts? So, is it possible to have it manage a pool of connections of some kind and make the web services get their connections from that pool?
Thanks in advance
Pedro

Hi Cemal,
Try the following.
IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
user.getSAPUser().getUniqueName();
Please check old postings in the forum.

Accessing a Database from multiple threads

I would like to create a database application where more then one thread can access this database at once. What is the best way to synchronize access to it so as to prevent errors?

Actually, I wasn't thinking of using an SQL database since I haven't studied it. But, would it be a good idea to have one object of type "Database", and use 'synchronize' to control thread access?
Also, the database access needs to be restricted based on different users, so I am using a SecurityManager. I was thinking the structure would look something like this:
security manager
database manager
database
in this way, a request to retrieve data from the database would need to be requested from my security manager. If the request is allowed, it would be filtered down to the database manager. Is this the best way to do this?
And finally, someone told me that using something like an "event queue" to access data would work but I've never tried this. My database manager thread would process the requests one at a time. would this work well?
