Any expericences about Hive/Hbase as data source for Power BI?

Any real life experiences about fetching and automatically refreshing data from HDInsight for Power BI?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny,
I've used HDInsight with Power BI on a handful of prototypes/PoCs where HIVE has been used to condense very high grain data or unstructured data into something a lot more manageable. As you may already know, the HIVE tables are just projected metadata
on top of folders which contain the data across one or more files, or subfolders of files (i.e. partitions). Initially I had hoped for Power Query's 'From Microsoft Azure HDInsight' data source to be able to pull data from HDInsight by generating HIVE queries
(HQL), but instead it hits the underlying HDFS (which is implemented as Azure blob storage) and pulls data directly from the files. As a result, it gives pretty much the same experience/functionality as using the 'From Microsoft Azure Blob Storage' data source.
One thing I found out the hard way is that if data is stored in HIVE tables that use an optimised file format such as ORC, Power Query is unable to pull the actual data out of these files (it doesn't know how to read their contents). You'll need to write some
HQL that will output the data in a plain text format such as CSV or TSV to be able to pull it in via Power Query. In some scenarios I have gotten around this by using Sqoop or SSIS to load the data into a Microsoft Azure SQL Database and then pulling that
data into Power Query/Power Pivot, but realise that this may not always be feasible.
There is the Microsoft Hive ODBC Driver to pull data from HDInsight/Hadoop via HIVE tables on a local machine, but I've not yet found a streamlined way to get workbooks in Power BI to pull data from HDInsight/Hadoop via HIVE.
I'd be interested to learn about other experiences with HDInsight and Power BI too.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the Data Management Gateway was needed in all cases due to the use of Power Query.

Data sources for Power BI

Is there some documentation on what kind of data sources are supported in Power BI now, and what is the future road map. We have below data sources, which are all on a on premise server/servers.
Excel files
SharePoint lists
SQL Server OLAP Cube
SQL Server database
Text files
SQL Azure
Wondering if PowerBI will be a good option for us or not.

Hi,
The data sources to the model itself are those supported by PowerPivot & Excel. In terms of scheduled refresh, from the list above, SharePoint lists (through Odata feed), SQL Azure, and SQL server are supported with the coming general availability

Stored Procedure used as a data source for an Apex report

Just wondering whether anyone has used a Stored Procedure as the data source for an Apex report. An option to select Stored Procedures(s) as the data source does not appear within the IDE (only displays Table, Views, Functions).
Do you have to return the definition of the Stored Procedure via a function ... if so, how is this done ?
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "920338".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
Just wondering whether anyone has used a Stored Procedure as the data source for an Apex report. An option to select Stored Procedures(s) as the data source does not appear within the IDE (only displays Table, Views, Functions).
Do you have to return the definition of the Stored Procedure via a function ... if so, how is this done ? When asking a question about "reports" it's firstly essential to differentiate between standard and interactive reports. Standard reports can be based on tables, views, SQL queries, or PL/SQL function blocks that return the text of a SQL query. Interactive reports can only be based on a SQL query.
"Stored Procedures" are therefore not an option (unless you are using the term loosely to describe any PL/SQL program unit located in the database, thus including functions). What would a procedure used as the source of a report actually do? Hypothetically, by what mechanisms would the procedure (a) capture/select/generate data; and (b) make this data available for use in an APEX report? Why do you want to base a report on a procedure?

CUA as data source for portal UME

Hi all
We want to use the CUA system as the data source for our EP6's UME.
Obviously our end users do not login to the CUA system and therefore have no password to this system. It doesn't seem rational to provide them a password to this system, but then again which password will they use?
I'm guessing that this is the case for most of the SAP customers.
Does this mean that we can't use the CUA as the UME data source?
If any of you use the CUA as the UME, we'd be very glad to hear your solution to this situation (we can't use one of the child systems as the UME).
Thanks,
Yeti

Hi Yeti,
My remarks below will not answer your question but it will help you with some decision on your UME data source.
As far as I know, most Portal use LDAP as their main UME datasource. This is largely due to the fact that LDAP contains ALL the users that are "employee" of the company. As for CUA, it does not contain ALL your users which could pose a problem for you when you want to execute certain Portal functions (or management approval flows) which require users who does not exist in your CUA (but exist in LDAP).

But there are also setup that uses CUA as their UME. I have linked some of the past threads who use CUA as their UME. I hope they can shine some light to your question. You can do a search here in the forum with "CUA UME portal" and you will also find posts that can help answer your question.

Something to think about if you consider SSO with CUA as UME.

ODS as data source for the next ODS - can't see the name in the DS list

Hello, experts!
Need your help. I'm trying to use Staging ODS for the transaction data to populate data into next level of ODS - Standard ODS. The problem is that Staging ODS does not appear in the Data Source list for the Standard ODS when I Assign data sources(and would not let me paste the Staging ODS data source name either). I did Replicate data source for the Staging ODS and Generate Export data sources but it did not fix the problem.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Alina.

OK, you're talking about the selection screen "Available datasources" showing only 50 entries right?
In my system the screen can show more than 900... must be one of your user settings in the gui...
just under the tab "restrictions" there is a line with an arrow pointing down; click this line to expand the restrictions...
In the DataSource field enter 8* or 8<ODS_TECH_NAME> in order to see your DSource.
Otherwise in RSA13 in your Dsources overview, right click it and "assign infosource"; it will also make it...
hope this helps...

Standard BI Data Source for FMGLFLEXT

Hello Friends,
The standard data source for the Financials New Legder is 0FI_GL_10 General Ledger: Leading Ledger Balances, which fetches the data from the FAGLFLEXT Table using the Extract Structure FAGL_EXTSTRUCT_LEAD. However there has been a migration of the FAGL table to FMGL table. And now the FAGLFLEXT is no longer populated with any FI postings data. And the new table which is getting the update is the FMGLFLEXT Table. GL Migration from FAGL to FMGL is a standard procedure. However I am not finding any Standard Data Source to fetch the data from the FMGLFLEXT Table.
Can anybody let me know if there is any standard datasource for this or should we create a custom data source to fetch the data from FMGLFLEXT using the FMGL_EXTSTRUCT_LEAD Extract Structure.
Appreciate help in this regard.
VB

Hello,
The requirement is resolved by the following:
If you want to use your own totals table (in this scenario FMGLFLEXT) as your basis, you first have to create the corresponding extraction structure using transaction FAGLBW01. In this way, all fields of the totals table are transferred into the extraction structure. Further In the OLTP system, call up transaction FAGLBW03 and Configure the DataSource and save your settings.

Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.


Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?


Thank you.

Justin,

Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that Save the report back to the
info store refers to IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects).


I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
or why successfully exporting the report with the new login/password is not what I
want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.


I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
server. I have no idea what
this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
discovered is that if I changed the report option, Database Configuration -> When
viewing report:, in the CMS to Use same database logon as when report
is run from Prompt the user for database logon, then the
SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.


So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

OIM 9.1.0.2 - Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources for Oracle RAC

Does OIM OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 support Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources (Services>JDBC>Multi Data Sources) for Oracle RAC instead of inserting the "Oracle RAC JDBC URL" on JDBC Data Sources for xlDS and xlXADS (Services>JDBC>Data Sources> xlDS|xlXADS > Connection Poll> URL) ?
If yes, is there are any other modifications that need to be made on OIM, or just changing the data sources?

Yes, it's supported. You install against one instance directly of the Rac Server. Then you update the config.xml file and the jdbc resource in your weblogic server with the full rac address. It is documented for installation against RAC. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14049_01/doc.9101/e14047/database.htm#insertedID2

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?
Edited by: user11177366 on Jun 11, 2009 11:46 AM

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.
