Alternate Data Sources for Application

Does anyone know how to set up a Portal application that can run off of a schema or database outside of the portal SID? The only data I can set up is for things visible within the SID that the portal runs off of. I want to hit an entirely different database server or at least a different SID on the same box.
Thanks,
Ben

You can look at the pl/sql adapter feature available in 902 which allows you to share db portlets between portals as in web portlets

Data source for application using both pooled and non pooled connections

Hi guys.
I am integrating Oracle's connection pooling into an existing application that had formerly used dbConnectionBroker. It looks like this task should be quite straightforward. However, for consistency, I would also like to replace other Connection logic within the application to use Oracle classes. This will involve using OracleDataSource to obtain a Connection object. ( without pooling ).
So in this case, the application will use both pooled and non pooled Oracle connections. They will be connecting to the same database. The question I have is in regard to the use of data-sources.xml.
Are there any special considerations for the required attribute values within data-sources.xml under this scenario ?
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Steve.

Hi Steve -
It should be feasible for you to define a single datasource using multiple location entries to indicate what sort of pooling behaviour you wish to use.
If you lookup and use the "location" attribute, you will receive a javax.sql.DataSource object which will not provide connection pooling.
If you lookup and use the "ejb-location" attribute you will receive a DataSource object that will support connection pooling operations.
Note that this is using the emulated datasource approach, and transaction support is limited to a single resource (one database) for these datasources - you won't get 2PC support for transactions.
If you need a transaction to span two separate resources (ie two databases in same tx) then you will need to use the non-emulated datasource approach.
There is a chapter in the J2EE Services Guide which describes the datasource model we have with OC4J. This might provide you with some more useful information. See Chapter 11 - http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/903doc_otn/generic.903/a97690/ds3.htm#1004903

Using Oracle BI Server as a Data Source for Third Party Tools

I have been researching how to use the Oracle BI Server as a data source for two days now. I have not yet found a solution to my problem.
We have a remote user who is pulling data from one of our Oracle databases using automated tools. This data base is essentially being replaced by Oracle Analytics. However, we do not want this user to get at the physical tables of Analytics, rather, we want the user to be able to connect to the Oracle BI Server itself, and issue Logical SQL to pull data.
Here are the requirements which I need to be fulfilled:
1) The ability for a remote user to connect to the BI Server as a data source.
2) The remote user must be able to do this on a Unix box.
3) The remote user must be able to automate the process of issuing SQL to the BI Server. (Command line interface is preferable)
4) The solution needs to be easily implementable, that is, this solution will be implemented many times over.
I found many articles explaining how to set up a Windows box to connect to the BI Server in this way. However, these articles outline how to use tools like Excel and Microsoft Query to pull data from the BI Server. Our current user is using SQLplus.
If possible, I would like the user to continue using SQLplus as the tool for connecting to and retriving information from our BI Server. I have tested using SQLplus many different ways to no avail. I have also tried using other tools, such as Oracle SQL Developer.
Is there a program out there that will fulfill the needs I have outlined above? Or, does someone know of a way to use SQLplus to connect to the Oracle BI Server as a data source? Or, is there a series of solutions which will fulfill the needs outlined above?

I agree it would be inefficient but only because you are using OBIEE for something it was not designed to do. You are basically asking for a "DB feed" and that should designed using PL/SQL, DB Links, Web Services or whatever is your entreprise standard to send data from one system to another. Using OBIEE for this seems a bad architecture decision to me.You are correct, the BI Server is not really intended to be queried like another Oracle Database remotely. However, the reason we are trying to do it this way is twofold:
1) We want to enforce data level security.
2) The BI Server has been fine tuned for high performance.
Forcing the end users to go through the BI Server rather than directly to the physical tables or other sorts of systems built on top solves both of these issues.
I think you are wrong. I don't see why SQLPlus should be able to query the BI Server. The BI Server can sit on top of many different DBs not just Oracle, even flat files etc. So you can't really expect the BI Server to able to translate all that into Oracle SQL output so you can query it using SQLPlus. The BI Server is not an Oracle RDBMS.You're right again. The BI Server isn't an Oracle RDBMS, and I have been wanting to treat it like one. From the data I have gathered SQLPlus can't query the BI Server.
However, my research has led me to realize that the BI Server supports the JDBC API. Therefore, (I should have went down this route in the first place) one can use the JDBC driver provided by Oracle (bijdbc14.jar) to interface with the BI Server. There are many programs and applications out there that support the JDBC API and let us connect to BI Server the way we want to. Furthermore, these programs are mostly platform independent, as they are mostly written in Java.
Lastly, from what I understand the NQCMD program can be installed on any platform as well (provided by Oracle). This is another option to connect to the BI Server as well.
Thanks for your help and your comments as I went through this process of discovery.

How to change the jta-data-source for projects in EJB 3

Hi all,
Sorry my english! :)
I'm learning the EJB 3.0 and I'd like to change jta-data-source for projects in JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.
I explain:
In the same Application, I have a project with all Entitys and Session Beans. At the moment, the persistence.xml file is there with the jta-data-source tag.
I make a new project with JUnit (Cactus) for test the EJB's that I'd like jta-data-source reference the test database.
I make another project, with Servlet/JSP/JSF that use EJB's with interface and I'd like jta-data-source reference another database.
What kind of changes (workaround) I could make to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!
Luciano

Data source for reports

hi all,
we r using 10g application server along with the reports service to deploy J2EE application
The data source for the application is specified using the JNDI lookup
Is it possible to use the same strategy for reports as well.
i.e., we are using jdbcpds. so is it ok if i give the JNDI look up name as P_JDBCPDS
If not is there any other way to make the P_JDBCPDS connection generic, so that i can change the username and database name without having to change the cgicmd.dat file
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,

If it is intended to be accessible from Reports servlet then you can use "ssoconn" command line option where by the user name and password is stored in OID (Oracle Internet Directory)
Pls see publishing reports to web document --> command line options -> rwservlet

Data source for report

Hi guys.
Can somebody let me know how to set data source for report?
I did import "import.zip" and "bootstrp.zip".
I did run "HFPBMMAK.PRO".
I did create model connection of "HFPBM"
Best Regards,
Chul.

Chul,
You only have to import either import.zip OR the bootstrap.zip, not both.
I don't know if you have SSM 7.5 or SSM 10, this will be for 7.5
If you have followed the set-up correctly, you should be able to open the demolauncher -
http://localhost:50000/strategy/pilotworks/demolauncher.htm
Where localhost = server 50000 = port
You should open the Administrator interface of your demo and Set Scorecard Defaults. For a context make sure that the PAS Model Connection is set for the model connection you set - HFPBM.
You also need to make sure that Manage Application Groups have your user added for the context you selected.
(For 10 the application groups are managed in NetWeaver)

Bob

Data source for MBEW

hi,
is there any data source for TABLE : MBEW ? or do i have to create a generic data source for this

Hi,
The DataSources delivered by SAP with the BI Content and any DataSources delivered by partners or customers in their own namespace are available in the delivery version (D version) in the SAP source system. If you want to transfer data from an SAP source system to a BI system using a DataSource, you must first copy the data from the D version to the active version (A version) and make it known in the BI system.
Use these steps to activate standard data sources.
1.To transfer and activate a DataSource delivered by SAP with Business Content, in transaction SBIW in the source system choose Business Information Warehouse à Business Content DataSources or Activating SAP Business Content àTransfer Business Content DataSources.
In The following figure displays the DataSources in an overview according to the application component.
2.Select the nodes in the application component hierarchy for which you want to transfer DataSources into the active version. Do so by positioning the cursor on the node and choosing Highlight Subtree.
The DataSources lying under the subtree and other subtrees are selected.
3. To check for differences between the active and delivery versions of the DataSources, choose Select Delta.
DataSources for which differences were found in the check (for example, due to changes to the extractor) are highlighted in yellow.
4.To analyze the differences between active and delivered versions of a particular DataSource, select the DataSource and choose Version Comparison. The application log contains further information regarding the version comparison.
5.To transfer a DataSource from the delivery version into the active version, select it in the overview tree using the button Highlight Subtree and choose Transfer DataSources.
If an error occurs, the error log appears.
Regardless of whether data has been successfully transferred into the active version, you can call the log by choosing Display Log.
6.To provide the active version of the DataSource in the connected BI systems and to enable data extraction and transfer, replicate the DataSource(s) with a metadata upload to the BI system.
Regards,
Shiva.

CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting

Hallo All,
I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
Questions:
1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
2. Does it work?
Best regards

Hi!
Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

Are Multiple (Concurrent) ABAP Data Sources for AS Java UME Possible?

Hi All,
We have a solution which is using a JAAS logon module for partner authentication. for reason's I won't go into we have decided that it is best to use an ABAP data source. We will also be using the same JAAS approach for other ABAP applications in the future. Ideally we would configure the same JAAS server to use ABAP UME data sources from ABAP server 1 and ABAP server 2.
I see there are provisions in the documentation for multiple UME data sources of different types but it doesn't clearly say about different concurrent data sources. IS this even possible? If so is it wise?
Thanks,
Doug

Julius,
Thanks again for your reply. This is confusing. We have an existing .Net logon application where we centrally administer accounts and where users log in. On successful login they are issued a .net Auth cookie. Our JAAS module takes that cookie, does a web service call back to .Net and authenticates them. So authentication is done on the basis of the .Net cookie, not the java UME. We simply need a java ume to allow users to execute the application that invokes the JAAS module. The application invokes the JAAS module and if they successfully authenticate they are forwarded to the requesting SAP application. So the JAAS ume is really just needed to allow various users to run the JAAS invoking application starter. Ideally we'd use the same starter application for users of SAP Application 1,2,3, etc.
So that's where the question came from on multiple ABAP UME data sources for a single Java instance.
Hope that makes sense. Regardless the answer I guess is not possible but you see the method to our madness. And yes it is madness.
Thanks,
Doug

LDAP as data source for UME

Trying to use a SSL enabled LDAP (Sun) for data source for UME. It seems that I can't use SSL directly from GRC CUP 5.3. Followed the instructions in saphelp, but when I test the connection, it gives me "Connection test with user path failed". The following is the connection data in UME Config:
Server Name: 10.56.17.20
Server Port:     62636
User:                cn=GMACApp_001,ou=Applications,dc=gm,dc=com
Password:       <correct one entered>
User path:        ou=People,dc=gm.dc=com
Group path:      ou-Groups,dc=gm,dc=com
Use SSL for LDAP Access is checked
Use Unique Attribute is not checked
I can connect to the LDAP using the same credentials with Softerra browser....Any ideas?

Opened a message with SAP....the response was less than helpful..."we don't support SSL". When I pushed them with the responses I recieved from the forum, the replay was "we have never done this". There must be a way. I can't be the only person on the planet that has to connect to a corp LDAP with a secure port!! I have tried the trick of conencting a LDAP as a data source for UME, but with limited success. Seems when the LDAP + db is enabled, the UME URL is not available (error 503). So that's not working so well either.
Any help will be appreciated.
