Advantages/limitation using OBIEE/MAUI version..

Hi
What are the advantages going for OBIEE/MAUI version? at the same time are there any tool level limitations?
I am new to Siebel Analytics area...
Any document which lists these will be of great help..
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Krishna,
Before I proceed, just to clarify your point 3 "Adding the new columns in the table ( It can be added at any place )" - yes columns can be added at any place within the CDS as you are just editing the definition file, but unless you effectively drop the entity (table) by removing entity definition, activate and then restore to rebuild table, any newly added columns will be added to end of table irrespective of position in CDS entity.
SPS6 Core Data Services - created catalog table column order different from hdbdd entity
I would also only consider productive CDS with SPS07  - CDS was introduced with SPS06 and no doubt some issues were resolved with introduction of SPS07.
The CDS gives a wonderfully rich semantic view of your definitions - right click the .HDBDD artifact and select graphical view, especially if associations are implemented (SPS07).
Coming from an ABAP background I adore the concept of a data dictionary-like central repository, where you can specify types and structures later referred to in entities (tables) for consistency and ease of maintenance.
Have a go at setting up a few types and entities, change keys, add, remove and change columns (name and type), use those definitions in procedures and attribute views (later consumed by analytic and on to calculation views) for checking of dependencies.  I have had issues with dependencies where I have not been able to activate .HDBDD, see SAP Hana Studio release 70 issues.  Transport changes from dev to qa and check.  Do you need to define entities with spatial-type columns?  You cannot (ST_GEOMETRY not recognized as valid type as of 70).
You are putting all of your "eggs" in one basket.  I wouldn't choose to do that with a project of any significant sizing unless a thorough P.O.C. was carried out.
Hope that helps.

  • Advantages of Using Secure Connect in Cisco Jabber Version 9.0

    Hello,
    About a month ago we deployed Jabber for iPhone.   For VPN we used Cisco AnyConnect,certificate authentication and VPN on demand.   We used our MDM to deploy the certificates and AnyConnect configuration.    So far everything is working as designed.  Now with the release of version 9, Secure Connect is an option and I was wondering what are the advantages of using Secure Connect? 
    Thanks

    Hi Manrico,
    Are the all the systems using the same firewall policy. It could be one of the rules configured in the SEP client. What build version are you running? Are all systems using the same version of VPN client? As Parminder stated, you should disable the firewall and check behavior.
    If the firewall is found to be the cause, you can troubleshoot by adding an "Allow All" rule to the top of the SEP policy. Moving the rule down one line at a time until the problem occurs again. Once that happens, you will have narrowed it down to the rule just above.
    Let us know how it goes for you.
    Best,

  • Advantages of using higher version of catalog Database.

    Hi Gurus,
    Wanted to know what are the advantages of using higher version of catalog database.
    for ex: my target database is 10.2.0.4 and catalog database is 11.2.0.1

    The very reason is that you would be able to use all the new features offered by the current release. Like, 11gr2 offers Virtual Private Catalog which you can only use in 11.2. So its better that you move your catalog too to the higher version when you upgrade your database.

  • Advantages of using PI 7.1 over PI 7.0

    Hi All,
    I need to suggest to my client, the advantages of using PI 7.1 over PI 7.0, so that we can use the same for our development.
    Please dont send me the links from SDN, just suggest the advantages.
    Useful answers will be rewarded.
    Regards
    Ranjit

    Hi,
    PI 7.1 will be in rampup then - not global availibility
    when it will be available you will get an upgreade guide as always
    Currently PI 7.0 is only available for real time implementation. You could have the version of PI 7.1 from SDN, but that not for the real time implementation. Its limited only for individual usage.
    There is huge difference between PI 7.0 and PI 7.1.
    1. PI 7.0 is the part of Netweaver 2004s and PI 7.1 is key entity in eSOA.
    2. PI 7.1 have various mapping Enhancements as well as reusability of UDFs across the mappings etc. which is not available in PI 7.0
    /people/william.li/blog/2008/01/02/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-share-user-defined-functions
    3. PI 7.1 comes with the concept of folders for more flexibale and Organized way of developements.
    /people/william.li/blog/2007/08/07/using-folders-in-pi-71 -- Folders in PI 7.1
    4. Advanced adapter engine is used in PI 7.1, which have overcome the various communication related limitations of previous versions

  • What are the advantages of using Map IDs?

    Hi:
    I am trying to find out the advantages for using map ids as
    opposed to just using the file names for the topics, but I couldn't
    find this information in the RH7 Help or the forums. Can you please
    list the advantages and disadvantages.
    Also, I am describing how I wish to implement the context
    sensitive help feature for my application and you can tell me which
    approach is better. We make an application that is packaged within
    a Java IDE. We want to launch context sensitive help topics from
    the wizards and cheat sheets. Now, this context sensitive help can
    be either be installed on the local machine or network (file://
    protocol) or available on our portal (https:// protocol). We do
    have the infrastructure in place to let the user decide whether
    he/she wants to access the local help topic or the one over the
    internet. Will map ids work for both the scenarios?
    Thanks,
    K

    It sounds like your application call needs to call an online
    version of the help first and if this is not available to point to
    a local copy. Is that right? If so, how this happens is entirely in
    the hands of your developers. I know it can be done, just sketchy
    on the actual procedure.
    As far as the CSH in the help is concerned, you can use
    mapids for both versions of the help if you want. If using webhelp
    you'd do well to check out
    this
    link on Peter Grainge's site.

  • Advantages of using BPR in an SAP project

    Hi
    Could anyone tell me what are the advantages and significance of using the Business Process Respository (BPR) while starting an implementation Project (or template project). Lets say as opposed to NOT using the BPR. What are the pros and cons of the two approaches? And how reliable are these BPR contents?
    Appreciate your answers
    Drake

    Hi Drake,
    BPR comes from SAP and delivered via Software Component ST-ICO. Periodically, SAP keeps upgrading this component and in my view, one of the best enablers of Solution Manager.
    From a Project point of view, if you use BPR provided content, at Scenario, Process level, it inherits all 'associated' assignments, like Transaction Codes, IMG nodes relevant for a given Process Step. Also, it loads any other accelerator documents from SAP in General Documentation Tab.
    These contents are helpful for Business Process Monitoring (BPM) too when you want to 'inherit' the Processes and Process Steps defined in Project into Solution. There are standard metrics that SAP provides for process steps in BPM that would be more easily compatible if a project had got the same terminology.
    BPR, however, isn't as comprehensive as we may like it to be. It's rich on some areas and frugal on certain others.
    In terms of 'reliability', well there is no specific aspersions that could be cast  on it
    If it's rich, it's visible and useful; where it's not good enough, we can always add some content and still make some good use of it.
    Another advantage of using BPR is that when a new version of BPR is downloaded and applied, using SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE transaction, the system will offer a chance to see areas which are impacted by a change and those can accepted in SOLAR01/02.
    So, BPR-led content can always be kept up-to-date.
    In my personal experience, I have realised that 2 consultants can easily have 4 opinions! On ever fluid concepts like Scenario, Processes etc. to attain a convergence of thoughts and minds is a difficult proposition. BPR allows for a project to close the gap and adopt SAP ways of definition and helps jump-start the project. The time saved is better used in value added areas or in rigorous testing and training !
    The only firms/ projects which may want to shy from BPR could  be those:
    - who have a fairly well established vocabulory of defining their day to day processes and where retrofitting SAP definitions can be counter productive
    - who have traditionally used advanced platforms like ARIS or other tools
    - who work in industries inadequately represented by SAP
    Best regards,

  • Advantages of using nested iViews

    Hi All,
    Could anybody point out what are the major advantages of using nested iViews? Under what circumstances is the usage of nested iViews desired or recommended? Thanks!
    cheers
    Prachi

    Hi Prachi
    The nested iviews comes handy in case where in you model expects numerable UI elements or heavy UI screen.
    Nested iview is a way of achieving componentized models and also avoids re-work.
    You could avoid error like these:-
    "Error in compiling Flex application:
    Error: Branch between 8479 and 41869 around line 0 exceeds 32K span.
    If possible, please refactor this component.
    Failed to compile AAD8T3.mxml"
    This is the well known 32K limitation from Adobe Flex 1.x. The compiled applications are not allowed to be larger than 32K. That usually happens with larger models.
    Solution:-
    In order to solve this issue, you need to redesign your application and use nested iViews (basically splitting the model into multiple components)
    To instantiate you,go through this thread:-

  • Two questions about possible limitations in the Trial version

    1) I'm unable to format Date and Time using the Inspector/Table/Format option - is this because I'm using the Trial Version?
    The thing I'm trying to do is lose the day of the week in the default, so instead of "Sunday, August 26, 2007" it would read "August 26, 2007".
    Can I do this in the full registered version?
    2) I'm unable to change the top margin of a document in the trial version. I've gone into File/Page Setup/Paper Size/Manage custom sizes and changed the margins to no avail. It prints out exactly as it did before I made the changes. Is this also a limitation of the trial version that works fine in the full version?

    Hi Walt:
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Re: the date format, I know I can change it manually by control-click, but I was trying to change the default, so that it always gives me "Month Date, Year", instead of "Day of week, Month Date, Year". My problem with the "Automatically Update on Open" option is that yes, it will give me what I want when I CREATE a new document, but anytime I open an old document to read it, it will change the date from the date it was created to the date it was re-opened.
    Is there ANY way I can insert date and get the format I want each time without having to manually change it?
    As for the top margin, thanks. I see that the only way to change a document's margins is by going into the Inspector and changing them under "Document Margins". I was changing them under File/Page Setup, and drilling down to Printer Margins. Since that didn't seem to change anything ... what are Printer Margins and what does changing them actually do (since I couldn't tell any difference when I changed them)?

  • Using OBIEE with Oracle Express Edition Database? SOLVED

    I have a client that wants a quick demo of OBIEE. They sent us some csv files as the data source. I migrated them to Excel files for easier use, but the Excel files seem to have limitations on how I can combine the columns, such as concatenating and formatting.
    I then loaded them into an Oracle Express Edition database, assuming more "database" functionality would be available to me. I was able to load them into the Administration Tool, but Answers gives me the following error when I try to view any results from the Express database:
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

  • FSRM report limits using PowerShell

    I am following this article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2014/05/20/set-fsrm-storage-report-limits-using-powershell.aspx
    I did have this working just fine, but after installing Windows Updates today on a 2012 R2 box this functionality breaks the GUI. Now, any time you try to edit a report you are hit with Event ID 0, 'file server resource manager value is not valid' and a
    GUI error of 'Unexpected Error. Value of 1000 is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'.
    The report still runs, but you cannot view in the GUI until you again use PowerShell to decrease the limits back to default.
    Any ideas on how to fix? (Other than removing the updates) Seems a recent Windows Update has broken this.

    The Windows Update version is the latest available. So if you have a 2012 R2 server and install every available update, that's the level I'm at. It was a recent update that seems to have broken this, I just don't know which one.
    The parameter was already set to 1,000 and was working fine. The default is 100, and any value greater than 100 now produces the GUI error.
    Newly created reports also produce the same error. I stress that the reports do still run with the value of 1,000 set by PowerShell, it's just the GUI that does not recognise the values set by PowerShell.
    Looks like a bug in a recent Windows Update.

  • What are the advantages of using LabVIEW projects in TestStand, as apposed to just a path to a vi

    What are the advantages of using LabVIEW projects in TestStand, as apposed to just a path to a vi ?
    I am modifying an existing workspace for a new product, and it seems like more work to add the vi's into a LabVIEW project
    does it gain anything in the long run

    Hi Rusty,
    I wanted to quickly clarify on the integration between TestStand and LabVIEW Projects.
    As Jeff mentioned, some of the big benefits of using LabVIEW Projects is to organize code and to namespace them.
    For instance if you had a project called "Power Supply" that housed all your power supply code and had a VI in that called "Initialize", and another project called "Temperature Chamber" that also had a VI called "Initialize", both these VIs are namespaced by the project, so there is no longer confusion about which "Initialize" VI is being used.
    Now from a TestStand point of view, in prior version of TestStand, we lost some of this benefit because TestStand did not know about TestStand projects and called VIs simply as un-namespaced VIs. However, in TestStand 2010 (released last year, free eval available at ni.com/teststand), we added the ability to (optionally) call VIs within the context of their projects. This means that:
    VIs are now namespaced by their project, even when called from TestStand
    VIs can use project specific constructs like NI-DAQmx tasks and conditional compilation settings
    Note: When creating deployments, the VIs maintain their projects and namespacing, so this benefit holds true for deployments as well.
    Additionally, someone had mentioned looking into using lvlibs to namespace your VIs for deployment. Two comments:
    With TestStand 2010, this is no longer neccessary since the project itself namespaces the VIs
    You might also want to look into LabVIEW Packed Project Libraries, which combined several VIs into a single file. Think of it as a DLL specific to LabVIEW that is as easy to call as normal LabVIEW VIs. TestStand 2010 can call VIs that are exposed by PPLs. In addition, the deployment utility can automatically pack your VIs into PPLs for deployment.
    Hope this is helpful!

  • What is the advantage of using Wrapper Classes ?

    Hi friends,
    I am happy to join Java/J2EE tech. My project is
    scaled over the network. MVC-II struts, EJB based
    architecture, we are using.
    We are asked to use Wrapper Classes in in Java
    programs and not the primitive data types. I could
    not understand the reason.
    Pls tell me what is the advantage of using Wrapper
    Classes over the primitive data types ?
    means Integer instead of int, etc....I am not sure why use Integer over int; but Wrapper classes are used to remove coupling between classes and create one hand doesn't know what the other hand does effect.
    for example:
    when you have a SFTP java package but doesn't do everything that your application needs to do in one step and you need to do sftp stuff at many places in your application, it would be wise not to use SFTP java package directly from all the classes that need to do sftp stuff. Because if you were to change the SFTP package later due to say some bug fix or newer version or ... you would have to go and modify all the classes that had sftp stuff to update.
    Instead you could write a custom sftp wrapper that handles all the sftp stuff for your application needs and that wrapper deals with the SFTP java package. So all the classes don't need to know which SFTP java package is being used only the custom-wrapper needs to know.

Maybe you are looking for
