BIP 11g Enterprise on Linux issues

Hi gurus,
I have installed BIP 11g (11.1.1.3.0) on a Linix server and have noticed that some functionality does not work when using Internet Explorer 8.0 - for example, (1) creating element links by dragging and dropping elements and (2) dragging and dropping event trigger functions.
I am now running into a very frustrating issue. I have an existing report in eBusiness Suite that uses a data template to generate XML. It works just fine.
I am trying to port the data template into BIP 11g using the data model. The queries work fine as long as there are no links. As soon as I create element links, the data engine errors out with ORA-00933 or ORA-00936.
Here's what the bipublisher.log file has :
"[2010-10-22T12:59:39.954-05:00] [bi_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.xdo] [tid: 23] [userId: <anonymous>] [ecid: 0000IjL69Hm72F^7hVicM41Ck9EF0000fD,0] [APP: bipublisher#11.1.1.3.0] java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended[[

Any thoughts / ideas ?

Follow-up questions.
1) Are you running BIP 11g on a Linux platform?
2) Have you verified that all features are working as described in the user guide/manual?
3) Did you have to use workarounds to utilize some of the functionality described in the manual?
4) If you are working on a BIP 11g Linux installation without any issues, would you mind posting your configuration set-up ? i.e. Linux version, OS version, repository DB etc
Thanks,
Sunder

BIP 11g Enterprise - Need second instance of bip server

we are short of boxes and instead of deploying a full vm just for a second instance, I was thinking of setting up a second instance of bip under the web logic. However, when I try to clone the existing bip managed server, the system is adding it a as a node in the same cluster. That is not good because I am not doing load balancing.
I need a complete second instance with its own ports but managed under same web logic server. Any guidance would be appreciated?

Hi Joe
I can't say I've tried Robin's technique to run two presentation servers but from my basic understanding of it, both versions will share the same cache as defined in a single nqsconfig.ini file. Maybe these 2 are conflicting somehow?
I see that a separate instanceconfig.xml is used for each presentation server. I know there are a bunch of advanced, largely undocumented, cache properties you can set in there. I can send you a document listing the various properties if you want to play with it - contact me via my website.

Issue in executing contains Query(Oracle 11g Enterprise E on Linux RHEL 4

Oracle Version: 11.1.0.6.0
We are facing problem in executing contains Query :
1.When length of string inside contains clause goes beyond 4000 it gives error ORA-01704: string literal too long
2.We try to modify query by breaking it into multiple contains clause but it was not giving good performance (performance degrades as number of contains clauses increases.)It seems accessing same index multiple times becoming costly and taking more time. (We can see same domain Index has been accessed 3 times for 3 contains clause ()
3.We used multiple varchar(4000) type bind variable in single contains clause but giving error
     ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
     ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long
4.We used bind variable of type clob but giving error
Error:
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
     ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
     DRG-50857: oracle error in drexrstart_clob
I read from article
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/text/pdf/ot11g_new_features.pdf
That we don’t need to modified query as we had to do with SDATA(as we are doing in above examples) and optimizer will realize that query can be satisfied by the text index and will “push down” the filtering of rows into the text index processor rather than doing table access for filtering on sdata column but when I tried to write that query it was doing table access to filter for filter by column.
My Questions:
a.     Is it possible as mentioned in above point(point number 5) that we don’t need to write SDATA query in contains clause and optimizer will use composite index automatically.
b.     Is there any workaround for using string literal > 4000 char in contains clause.
c.     Why performance degrades lineally when using multiple contains clause.
d.     Can we use in clause in SDATA and write query like this:
i.     SDATA(queryid in ( 'q1',’q2’))
/* Table */
create table ContentStore (ResourceID raw(16), QueryID VARCHAR2(38),IFID VARCHAR2(38),ISTimeStamp number,ISProtocolName VARCHAR2(100),ismimecontenttype varchar2(100),ISToBeDisplayed number(1),IndexedMetaText CLOB)
/* Index */

Hi,
Have you try to increase MaxPermSize, it may occure memory issue.
change the Middleware/ORACLE_BI1/oui/oraparam.ini and fine it like below
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -mx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m" then try to change it
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -mx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m"
(i.e:It will increase the numbers for allocating more memory) then save it and then try to run config.bat (software only/enterprise) method and configure it.

We had a similar issue when our organization upgraded to 11gR2.
It looks like it boils down to a change Oracle made in regards to how it works with correlated subqueries within an insert statement.
Anyway, this thread has a little more information:
Merge Command in 10g vs 11g
And it says to look at Metalink note 1109983.1 (which I can't seem to find).
Anyway, a workaround in thread is suggests (which worked for us) to wrap the insert subquery around a dummy decode clause, and oddly it will work.
eg:
INSERT (COL1, COL2) VALUES (1, (decode(1,1,(SELECT x.COL4 FROM TMP_TABLE3 x WHERE x.COL4 = DDD.P_ID)) ) ) ;
Quite a kludge, but at least it is an immediate fix to the problem, without having to rewrite anything.

BIP 11g with eBusiness Suite Security

Help! I'm at my wits end!
I installed BIP 11g on Linux and went through the security set up for eBusiness Suite - created the XMLP% responsibilities, assigned the responsibilities to users, shutdown the BIP server, restarted it with the expectation that I can login to BIP using my eBS userid/password credentials. I couldn't login with anything other than the local superuser userid/password. The eBS responsibilities were imported as BIP roles, but none of the users are recognized as valid users.
I set up an SR with Oracle Support and they are just as flummoxed as I am.
The log files are of no help or I don't know where to look.
I then installed BIP 11g on my Windows 7 laptop, to rule out the possibility that this could be an issue with BIP 11g on Linux. I went through the exact same steps on Windows7 and got the same result. I am not sure that this experiment rules out anything at this point.
I am at a loss and extremely frustrated since I don't know where to begin looking. The DBC file is used, otherwise the eBS responsibilities would not have been imported. What else could be missing?
If anyone could point me to anything that might be of help, I would greatly appreciate it. At this point, I am inclined to chuck BIP altogether and go to some other reporting solution.
Thanks,
Sunder

eBS passwords have to be reset after setting "Signon Password Case" profile to Insensitive. Works now.

Install HRCS9.0 and PT8.53 with Linux Issue: the files intiPT853.ora and initHRCS90.ora: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded

Folks,
Hello. I have installed PeopleTools 8.53 with Oracle Linux 5.10 successfully. The entire PeopleTools runs correctly in browser at the beginning.
After I set up HCM and Campus Solution 9.0 Database Instance named HRCS90 in Linux successfully, PeopleTools 8.53 Database Instance PT853 cannot be mounted. Its error message is below:

But after set up another instance HRCS90, the above error message comes up and instance PT853 cannot mounted. I change the value of db_files from 1021 to 1500 in the file initPT853.ora and restart OS Linux. But get the same error as below:

As we see above, the instance HRCS90 works corretly and PT853 cannot start up. The parameter DB_FILES of the file initPT853.ora has an issue.
My question is:
Because 1021 and 1500 are not enough to startup instance PT853, what value should be used for DB_FILES of the file initPT853.ora ?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what does "Instance" mean here.

Are you not using a spfile ? Does the file contain really the 3 values ? What is the last ? Have you checked the value in the database side "show parameter db_files" ?
>But after set up another instance HRCS90, the above error message comes up and instance PT853 cannot mounted
Again, I have no idea what it means.

Again, 3 values ? What is the last ? Have you checked the value in the database side "show parameter db_files" ?

Again, I don't understand what are HRCS90 and PT853 exactly. Cannot help.

I'm sure, you don't have an issue with this parameter, 1500 files in the database is quite huge number. I built a demo recently, the default value 1021 was ok for me. You should have done something wrong somewhere.

Oracle Reports 11g output in pdf issue

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Are you using Oracle Forms and Reports 11.1.2.1.0 (the latest version of Forms/Reports 11gR2)? If yes, there is a known bug in all platforms except Linux where there are PDF viewing issues with the reports. According to My Oracle Support (MOS) note 1522543.1, this note goes into greater detail about the bug. It mentions to download Patch 16046595 from MOS. Apply this patch to your WebLogic domain, and it should fix the problem. When downloading the patch, make sure you are downloading the one for AIX as there are specific versions of the patch just for Solaris and Windows.
Before installing this patch (or installing any Oracle patch), I would do the following:
1. Review the README file which is included in the patch download.
2. Make a backup of your Middleware home.
To install the patch:
1. Download and unzip the patch into the filesystem. Let the extracted patch location be called PATCH_TOP.
2. Shutdown all WebLogic servers and instances (OPMN).
3. Set the ORACLE_HOME variable to be the location where your Oracle home is for Forms and Reports.
4. Append the PATH variable to include $MW_HOME/oracle_common/OPatch
5. Go to $PATCH_TOP/16046595
6. Run: opatch apply (if that does not work, try ./opatch apply)
7. Type in 'y' when it asks you if the system is ready for patching.
8. When the patch is successfully installed, start up OPMN and your WebLogic servers.
9. Test the issue to see if the PDF report comes out like it should.
Thanks,

Oracle 10g Apex 2.1 (demo) to Oracle 11g Enterprise full version

I am migrating from Oracle 10g Apex 2.1 (demo) to Oracle 11g Enterprise full version:
Does anyone know if this can be done: The platform is Linux Red Hat - HP Prolient DL380 G2 series:
The demo version Oracle 10g apex 2.1 which was utilizined has a proof of concept...has now been approved to move forward with Oracle 11g Enterprise full version
I was thinking: Do I export all the applications, tables,and data. Then un-install Oracle 10g and the install Oralce 11g. Then finaly, import the applications, tables,and data.
OR .... can in be migrated....????

BIP 11G - Retrieving a cursor from a function defined in a package

We had previously deployed reports in OBIP 10G....
The reports deployed in OBIP 10G used an XDO file to interact with the database and return data in XML format.
This action used to be defined in the ‘sqlStatement’ tag of the XDO file.
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1"> select PK_AP_GEN_REP.AP_GEN_REP('AP_CH_R101',1) FROM DUAL </sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
For this it would invoke our package called ‘PK_AP_GEN_REP’ and pass the report specific function name ('AP_CH_R101') to it as an input parameter.
This returned a cursor.
Hereafter the resultant cursor from above would get each column mapped with those mentioned in ‘dataStructure’ tags of XDO file to form an XML file.
Currently we are trying the same in OBIP 11G.
We are creating the dataset with SQL query
The problem is that the SQL statement “select PK_AP_GEN_REP.AP_GEN_REP('AP_CH_R101',1) FROM DUAL” is not effective.
Also if the above query is fired it does not retrieve the column names to define the data structure.
Solutions tried:-
1. Forcefully defining the data-structure in XDM file created for this report. This did not work.
2. Firing a Before “Event Trigger”. This only works if the function is returning a Boolean and not a cursor.
We tried modifying the function to return a Boolean and to populate the report specific table which could be queried to fetch the records.
We defined Oracle DB Default Package = PK_AP_GEN_REP
We defined the trigger as PK_AP_GEN_REP.AP_GEN_REP('AP_CH_R101',1)
Now creating the dataset with SQL query does not return any data.
It is giving the following error:-
"XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'http://iflmud5im00094:9704/xmlpserver/servlet/xdo'."
However the query fires if Oracle DB Default Package is reset to nothing...But in this case the event trigger did not fire.
If there is a wayout involving any of the above 2 steps or any other way please share the solution
Kindly let me know how I may handle this issue of Retrieving a cursor from a function defined in a package in BIP 11g.

Further regarding this....
Not sure regarding performance issues of using pipelined functions
Just to share with you that instead of what you suggested I have tried out returning a 'table' type object from a PL/SQL function after CAST ing the required query to this Object.
Stretching the discussion forward, is there a way to cast a ref cursor into a plsql table.
This could absolutely fit my requirement...
Thanks in advance

BIP 11g event triggers

Hi,
I'm setting up a data model in the BIP 11g standalone version. I've created a PL/SQL package with a function that returns boolean. In BIP 11g I can create an event trigger and I can see the function listed in the Available Functions box( just like page 12-2 of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Report Designer's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher states). However, the arrow to select the function does not work. Has anyone validated that this works as designed?
Thanks,
Sunder

Hi SIyer,
I am trying the same issue and tried in Firefox as well but not able to find the functions listed in the BIPDB for the package created, please let me know if i am missing something. Please find below my package spec.
Please advise.
Thanks

Concatenated SQL Data Source in BIP 11G

Hi all,
I have performed a repository upgrade of BI Publisher from 10G to 11G. Everything is working perfectly fine except the problem below:
All the reports consists of 2 data sets. Both of them are sql queries. Data_set 1 is guaranteed to return the result set as it queries the sysdate and puts as the date the report ran. This is for auditing purpose. Data_Set2 contains the business logic for the report. At times this query does not return any data. In the case where both queries returned data, I am able to publish my report in all available output formats. e.g xml, pdf and html just to mention a few. However, in the case where Data_Set2 does not have any result set but Data_Set1 does, I am only able to display the data in XML not PDF or HTML. For pdf it come back with the message "Failed to load PDF Document" and in HTML comes with an error message "oracle.xdo.servelet.data.DataException: Layout not found".
In BI Publisher 10G, you can could choose an option of "Concatenated SQL Data Source" and it will be able to generate the report in any format with just the result set of Data_Set1 i.e sysdate for the date when the report was ran.
Any idea as to how I can achieve the same goal in BI Publisher 11.1.1.5
Regards
Joster

Hi all,
I managed to realise what was the problem.
It seems like with BIP 11G, one does not to explicitly select "concatenated SQL Data Source" as was the case in 10G when using more than one data source. This option is implicitly applied.
The issue on my side was that some of the templates I had upgraded from 10G were corrupted hence the data was returned through xml but not other template based output.
Thanks

Fail installing OBIEE 11g on Oracle Linux 5 64 bits

Hello,
I am trying to install OBIEE 11g over Oracle Linux 5 (64 bits), but I can't. I have the following issue:
INST-07008: Validation of Oracle Home location failed. User does not have permission to create home/instance location
INST-07282: Specified Middleware home location does not exist
In the Oracle Middleware Home, I have specified "/root/Oracle/Middleware".
I have following these steps:
1) Install Oracle DB 11g R2 (OK)
2) Install jdk for Linux 64 bits (OK)
3) Install weblogic
I have done the installation as "root" user
Middleware Home Directory = /root/oracle/Middleware (OK)
4) Install RCU as root (OK)
5) Install OBI 11g
To execute ./runInstaller it is necessary be as oracle user.
I have changed permissions in /root/Oracle/Middleware (chmod 777), but the issue is the same.
I appreciate any idea to solve the issue.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Monica.

Hello,
no, I have installed OBIEE as oracle user with software only option, with root isn't possible.
So, I don't know if it is necessary I installed WebLogic as oracle user to have permission in middleware path...

Getting java.io.IOException when trying to run a report in BIP 11g

Hi everyone.
I have deployed BIP 11g (11.1.1.6.0), with no errors, and everything worked fine.
Suddenly, when I tried to execute a report (html output), I got following error: "java.io.IOException: Permission denied".
I wonder if you can list me possible causes of this issue.
Regards,

Hi Adhir,
I ran the standalone webservice client on the unix machine and it gives me web service response.
Is there some weblgic configuration parameter I should be looking into to see why I am not getting the response when I am calling the web service from the deployed code.
