Active Catalog Mapping Views

As I understand it, I created my Cubes using Analytical Workspace Manager, so we can consider its metadata as Standard Form and call it Active Catalog.
In contrast, if I created my cubes using OEM(as SYSDBA), or OWB, my metadata would've been confusingly called OLAP Catalog Metadata that consists of ordinary relational tables.
Fortunate for OLAP Catalog Metadata users, they can query Mapping information using OLAP Catalog Mapping Views.
I was wondering if I can also query Mapping information for Active Catalog...
Does anyone know how or which "Active Catalog View" to query (to know which dimension/cube is mapped to a certain table)?

Hi Swetha,
In my opinion this may be due to a timeout in mapping process. Which CCM SP level are you running?.
Have you had a look to the SAP Note 926007?.
I hope this help.
Best Regards

Map View Analyses in OBIEE 11g

Hi friends,
Im in the process of using map view in my analysis. For that they asked to put the following thing in the instanceconfig.xml file after *</Logging>* tag
<SpatialMaps>
<ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath>/mapviewer/</Colocated
OracleMapViewerContextPath>
<RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL></RemoteOracleMapViewerAb
soluteURL>
<LayerDataLayout><MaxRecords>600</MaxRecords></LayerDataLay
out>
</SpatialMaps>Soon after making this change i saved the instanceconfig.xml file and after that they asked to restart the BIPresentation services(via)EM. But the Restart isn't successful as the Presentation Service is going down.
But if i removed the above code in the xml file, and if i restarted the services means then the BI presentation services is becoming up. But if i used that code in the xml file means the BI presentation service is going down.
I couldnt able to predict the reason behind it. Since for performing the map view in my analyses i need to add the above coding. But the Presentation servers is going down for that.
Thanks
All izz Well

Deploying map viewer on tomcat

hello,
because there was no useable result of all the past threads handling this topic, i would like to ask again.
Is there any experience in deploying the Oracle Map Viewer on a Tomcat server?
Sure, it is possible to deploy the ear/war file at Tomcat and to call the main page of Map Viewer (but not completely, at all), but after that, it seems like some parts of the OC4J are missing, like the xml-parser.
I tried something with the jars of oc4j, the classpath of tomcat and so on, but nothing really helped.
And i know about the pro and con of deploying Map Viewer anywhere else than the oc4j or application server. So there is no need to mention this again.
thanks for help
Sebastian

Hi,
I've been running mapvier on tomcat 5.5.15 for a while now, without any problems.
I do that in my dev environment because it's faster to restart. I guess you still need an oracle appserver license even if you run it in tomcat.
Below are the contents of my lib directories:
TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib:
activation.jar
commons-el.jar
jasper-compiler-jdt.jar
jasper-compiler.jar
jasper-runtime.jar
jsp-api.jar
mail.jar
naming-factory-dbcp.jar
naming-factory.jar
naming-resources.jar
ojdbc14.jar
ojdbc14dms.jar
servlet-api.jar
xmlparserv2.jar
and
mapviewerWEB-INF/lib
adf-faces-api.jar
adf-faces-impl.jar
adfshare.jar
chartbuilder.jar
classgen.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-digester.jar
commons-logging.jar
jsf-api.jar
jsf-impl.jar
jstl.jar
lbs.jar
mapcache.jar
mapviewer.jar
mvclient.jar
mvconsole.jar
mvmbeans.jar
sdoapi.jar
sdogr.jar
sdonm.jar
sdoutl.jar
sdovis.jar
standard.jar
wmsfilter.jar
Also, you have to create the login you will use for the mapviewer admin:
your conf/tomcat-users.xml file should at least contain this:
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="map_admin_role"/>
<user username="yourname" password="secret" roles="map_admin_role,tomcat,admin,manager"/>
Then you use yourname to login to the mapadmin.
This works for me.
Cheers,
Calin

How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization. We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones. How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us. After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account. To
solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder. The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
is not capable of automatic synchronization. There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution. We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
offer which will automatically synchronize the folders. After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server? Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync? If so, are we in the right
direction with what we have found so far?
Thanks,
Brad

You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

Google Map Integration with Map Viewer is not working

Hi Team,
My MapViewer Version: Ver11_1_1_7_B130111
I have created a Google Map (with Type of Map Source as "Google Maps") in Oracle Map Viewer and i could see google map in Oracle Map Viewer(using "show Map").
I wanted to show a village map theme over the above google map in a web page and i am using Jdeveloper to integrate map viewer with Village data. I could see the google maps inside Jdeveloper however when i run the Jdeveloper code google map is not shown inside the web page.
I tried with Oracle Maps, Bing Maps as the "map source" in map viewer and tried integrating inside Jdeveloper and got same result (blank screen). However when i tried a different mapviewer ( Base Map ELOCATION.WORLD_MAP from OracleFMW MapViewer Home ) i could see the map in the web page.
I could get all other base maps (created with "internal" as the map source") in the web page, so there is some thing that i am missing with Google Maps, Bing Maps, Oracle Maps. Could you please help me what is that i am missing or point to a help resource?
Thanks
Nag

Hi Jayanth,
Issue is solved after creating the web page using latest JDeveloper (11.1.2.4). Thanks a lot for your help

Bulk activation of Equipment View in serial numbers

Hi Experts,
Our client has erroneously created material-serial numbers which needs to be active the equipment view. There are around 2000+ details to be changed and a bulk change option is required to active "Equipment View".
I have tried to create a LSMW but ended unsuccessfully.
Appreciate you valuable guidance to find a solution
Thanks In Advance

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I have only tried LSMW.
We have set mandatory the "Location" field for equipment. There for when i execute the LSMW, following appeared

OBIEE 11g Map View - Issue with Label Translation

Hi All,
I have a strange translation issue with the Maps in 11g.
Created in English language to plot the Revenue for each of the Postal Codes.
I selected Postal Code and Revenue Amount in the Criteria and created a new Map View. It had the text 'Postal Code' in the Map Legend and then the scale for revenue amount.
Now I logged on with Chinese Language , it still appears as 'Postal Code' in English where in it was actually supposed to show it in Chinese.
We have a translation pack to get all the column names translated. If I try creating a new table view, it shows the translated text instead of 'Postal Code', but some how this doesn't work with Maps.
Has anyone faced similar issues ? Is there a workaround for this ?
Thanks for any pointers.

Hi,
I also encounter the same issue. When I view combined layout, I get the No Results message. But when I edit the table layout, I see that there are records returned. Does anyone had any luck in resolving this issue?
Thanks!

How do I add a VM that has too many dependencies to be shown as "Map View " ?

When in Table View there is no option to add/remove a VM to an App or to create/delete an App.
f.eks. I added three VM's and created an App called "Convergion"
Two of those VM's can only be shown in "Table View" because of too many outgoing dependencies.
I accidentally removed the Third VM (the one that could be shown in "Map View") and now I have no way of:
1) Adding the third VM back to the App
2) Removing the App or
3) Remove the two remaining VM's from the App
So, to create the App again I have to call it "Convergion~1" or something similarilly stupid.
But two of the VM's now still belong to "Convergion" (the now "Zombied" App) as well as "Convergion~1"
Any ideas ?
P.S. I should be able to create an App and manually add the VM's needed from the vCenter Inventory (Search box or similar) without having to have a "Visual" contact in the Map View.
Some maps get huge and it's not very practical.
Consider this a feature request.

Hi,
I'm Galit from the QE team of VIN.
All the things that you've described are correct.
It is actually an edge case where the only VM, that the manual App can be managed from its Map view, was removed from the App.
The Manual App management is as designed, and may be changed in the future.
There are 2 ways to overcome this situation:
1.You can, as you stated, create another Manual App with similar name and remain with the "Zombie App".
2. To run a specific command that will remove the Zombie App from the DB.
Please note that option no. 2 involves using an API that we do not publish.
If you would like to use option no. 2 contact me in private and we will see about supplying the relevant commands to run in order to delete the "zombie" application.
Thanks,
Galit Gutman

Projection problem in OracleAS Map Viewer

Hi,
I am using OracleAS Map Viewer 11 EA1and I try to display a map with an image (srid=1002000) and a vector (srid=8192) on the top. If I understand the documentation correctly, the vector might be reprojected into the map srid which is 1002000. But when the map is created, the vector is not correctly reprojected (I see some roads in the ocean!). I am wandering if it is a bug in map viewer; or maybe I didn't use it corectly!
My query looks like:
<map_request
title=""
datasource="all_images"
width="1229"
height="840"
srid="1002000"

spatial_column="shape1"
>select shape1 from can51.road_l</jdbc_query>
</theme>
</themes>
</map_request>
Thanks in advance,
Ganael

your map request seems correct, and yes mapviewer will automatically reproject your vector theme if it's srid (8192) is different from the request srid (1002000). What's more likely is that your georaster is not being displayed correctly? Have you tried displaying the vector road data against a know vector boundary data set like country/state, in the 1002000 projection and see if everything is working fine? then add the georaster layer back on and go from there....

Map View in Photoshop Elements 6

I am a new user of Photoshop Elements 6. I got some pictures which include GPS Information. Now I want to locate these pictures in the map view.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/6.0/help.html?content=WS7E96CCE9-EA88-4f7a-B 212-2C37C9CEEF1B.html
Unfortunately I am not able to find this feature in my program!
Any idea?

Johnny,
PSEs Map View is a toy feature that is buggy and not engineered to handle more than a couple thousand photos with map (GPS) locations. So I suggest staying away from it. See these messages:

There is information on reporting bugs with reproducible testcases in the link below.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/tech/migration/workbench/index.html
In the case of mapping views, the source view text or a cut down smaller testcase that reproduces the error, and the workbench version, are usually sufficient.

I've got a table with appropriate geometry
INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA (TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DIMINFO, SRID) VALUES (
'TMP_LEG_ARC_001', 'LEG_GEOM',
SDO_DIM_ARRAY(
SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('LONG', -180.0, 180.0, 0.05),
SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('LAT', -90.0, 90.0, 0.05)
8307);
I've got a theme created from this column. It's evident that flights (and any other straight lines on the earth surface) should look like arcs but in MapViwer I can see straight lines.
It looks like Map Viewer just projected ends of line on the map and then draw straight line between them, instead of projecting whole line on the map (which should be converted into arc)
What have I done wrong?!

MapViewer doesn't display them as great circles. This will be fixed in a future release.
Meanwhile you can use Oracle Spatial functions to create the sissified lines which will approximate/be displayed as flight paths/great circles.
That is use something like Dan Geringer's (sample code so usual disclaimers apply) densify_line plsql stored procedure below.
The densify_line function takes two arguments:
• two_pt_line - The line to densify
• arc_tolerance - The interval (in meters) used to densify the line
The first argument calls for a two point line. It ensures the endpoints are included in the densified result.
You can also pass in a linestring with more than two points. The end points are ensured to be part of the densified line, but the intermediate shape points are not. To guarantee shape points, you can call densify_line iteratively with the 2 point line segments of a linestring.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION densify_line (two_pt_line MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY,
arc_tolerance number) RETURN MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
DETERMINISTIC IS
lrs_segment MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY;
new_point MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY;
densified_line MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY := mdsys.sdo_geometry (two_pt_line.sdo_gtype,
two_pt_line.sdo_srid,
null,
mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array (1,2,1),
mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array ());
curr_measure NUMBER;
times_to_loop NUMBER;
BEGIN
IF two_pt_line IS NOT NULL
THEN
densified_line.sdo_ordinates.extend(2);
densified_line.sdo_ordinates(1) := two_pt_line.sdo_ordinates(1);
densified_line.sdo_ordinates(2) := two_pt_line.sdo_ordinates(2);
lrs_segment := SDO_LRS.CONVERT_TO_LRS_GEOM (two_pt_line);
times_to_loop := FLOOR (lrs_segment.sdo_ordinates(lrs_segment.sdo_ordinates.count) / arc_tolerance);
curr_measure := 0;
FOR i IN 1 .. times_to_loop LOOP
curr_measure := curr_measure + arc_tolerance;
densified_line.sdo_ordinates.extend(2);
new_point := sdo_lrs.locate_pt (lrs_segment, curr_measure);
densified_line.sdo_ordinates(densified_line.sdo_ordinates.count-1) := new_point.sdo_ordinates(1);
densified_line.sdo_ordinates(densified_line.sdo_ordinates.count) := new_point.sdo_ordinates(2);
END LOOP;
IF curr_measure < lrs_segment.sdo_ordinates(lrs_segment.sdo_ordinates.count)
THEN
densified_line.sdo_ordinates.extend(2);
densified_line.sdo_ordinates(densified_line.sdo_ordinates.count - 1) :=
two_pt_line.sdo_ordinates(two_pt_line.sdo_ordinates.count - 1);
densified_line.sdo_ordinates(densified_line.sdo_ordinates.count) :=
two_pt_line.sdo_ordinates(two_pt_line.sdo_ordinates.count);
END IF;
END IF;
RETURN densified_line;
END;
