BO Enterprise 3.1 SR3 Installation with existing Oracle database

Hi,
I'm completely new to Business Objects and have been reviewing the installation & planning guides for the installation. I'm hoping to use an existing Oracle 11.2g installation as the location for the CMS / Audit. The guides don't really explain in detail the steps to do this, but say this pre-requisite must bein place prior to running the installation.
The section "Setting up an empty database for the CMS" sumarizes the tasks :-
create tablespace, schema or database
create new users/passwords for the CMS / Audit
specify correct permissions to create.modify,delete tables and to create procedures
Does anyone know of any further documentation that expands on the above to detail the steps further ?
Regards,
Brian.

Hi Brian,
Have you looked at the XI 3.1 Installation Guide for Unix? This has information specific to Oracle (page 38).
The PDF is available at:

BO Enterprise 3.1 SR3 Installation with existing MS SQL database

HI Gurus,
I'm completely new to Business Objects and have been reviewing the installation & planning guides for the installation.

or atleast some one could help me step by step in performing steps like creating db, tablespaces, users in MS SQL server. As i have never worked on MS SQL and also with SAP BO.

Unable to Create Entity Model from existing oracle database

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2013, .net framework 4.5, entity framework 5.0 and oracle 11g database.
Issue Description: I need to develop WCF service to exposing the account information which needs to get the data from 20 oracle tables. Trying to create entity model from existing oracle database. first i tried creating just two tables it
was created but it took more than 30 minutes. then i selected remaining few tables it took more than a days but nothing created just showing spinning the wheel. then i tried with fresh project and selected all the tables but same issue nothing created and
also there is no error. during this process i checked database query monitoring there is a big sql statement collection tables metadata. i don't know what was wrong the query taking too much time to complete the process.
we tried multiple machine and different oracle database all are same issue.
Sql server database -looks good no issues.
Any help/tips/ideas welcome to overcome this issue.

Hi Sakthimp,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
Your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your issue only occurred with oracle database, moreover Oracle developed the Entity Framework for Oracle itself, I suggest that you can consult your issue on Oracle forum/community:
you will get better solution and support there.

Oracle 10g2 installation stucks at Oracle Database Configuration Assistant

Hi,
I was trying to install Oracle 10g2 on a remote server. The linux version is FC5. The installation stoped at Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. How can I fix it?
Thanks a lot
Lu

Thanks for the reply. The details are as follows. I was trying to install Oracle Database 10g Release 2(10.2.0.1) on Linux Fedora Core 5. So I downloaded 10201_database_linux32.zip. The cksum was correct. I completely followed the steps in this article: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnFedora5.php
Everything was fine until it got to Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. It hung indefinitely without moving. The message on the screening was:
Output generated from configuration assistant "Oracle Database Configuration Assistant":
Command = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbca -progress_only -createDatabase -templateName General_Purpose.dbc -gdbName csci585.usc.edu -sid csci585 -sysPassword 051e421f15d524e2fb763a340793d33c1c594d87e6c0773f71 -systemPassword 05f8ff2a15958d237280c14aa0cfc26a7e23ffc20d70c6e080 -sysmanPassword 0558a50d15b50780caf748645c350d92581789988d719ede4b -dbsnmpPassword 05ca6bea1475cdbb6780d96cc4fb00a6ad0921b9eaf66a01dd -emConfiguration LOCAL -datafileJarLocation /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/assistants/dbca/templates -datafileDestination /u01/app/oracle/oradata/ -responseFile NO_VALUE -characterset WE8ISO8859P1 -obfuscatedPasswords true -sampleSchema false -oratabLocation /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/install/oratab -recoveryAreaDestination NO_VALUE
Actually, at the beginning It stucked at Oracle Net Configuration Assistant. I searched the Internet and found an article saying "If scp and ssh are not in the path /usr/local/bin, then create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin to the location where scp and ssh are found", I did that and it passed Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, but then stopped at the next step Oracle Database Configuration.
One thing I think is helpful to know is that the server was previously installed with Oracle10g1. It worked for three years as the server for the students doing projects in a database class. But recently the JDBC to spatial database connection had some problem so we decided to install Oracle10g2. We deinstalled the previous Oracle10g1 with OUI but we are not sure if the deinstallation is clean and complete.
Any help will be highly appreciated!

XML Publisher with Non Oracle databases

Hi,
Can we use XML Publisher with non oracle databases like Postgres ,mySQL etc.

Hi
Not sure if you're talking Apps or non but you can do it equally with both. Check out the Data Engine in the user guide and look for Distributed Queries. XMLP will need a jdbc connection to the db but you can then pass a query and get XML back.
You can even write one query to pull back say customers from Oracle and their invoices from MySQL, you'll get a merged data set back with a master detail relationship btw customers-invoices

Build gui for existing oracle database tables with webdynpro java?

hi
i want to build a GUI to maintain existing oracle tables
so far we used oracleFORMS to do so
is there a good approach for webdynpro java? or do you recommend other sap tools?
can we generate the gui with a wizard based on the fields in the table?
do we have to generate sql statements or type in manually?
regards
joerg

Hi Joerg,
generally that is possible, but you'll have to implement the data access by yourself, by means of EJB or another Java persistance framework such as JDO, SQLMaps, Hibernate, whatever...
Web Dynpro allows to build a GUI based upon a model - in this case this could be some POJOs (DTOs) representing your database tables, which are communicated to the GUI by your data access layer. Consider a model as a simple Java bean representing database data.
This approach would require to build a data access layer which incorporates manually generated sql statements, so you'll have to have expert database and java knowledge.
There might be other approaches, this is just to demonstrate one working possibility.

Christian

What's wrong with my Oracle Database Installation?

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle Database 11gR2 on a newly-created Oracle Linux 5.7 64-bit system. There's 25GB of available harddrive space and about 1700MB free RAM.
I followed everything in this guide:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2InstallationOnEnterpriseLinux5.php
To begin my installation, I log into user "oracle" and do the following:
     1) Unzip linux.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip and linux.x64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip to create the directory /home/oracle/database
     2) Set up my response file (a copy can be found at http://x.petio.org/2011/11/30/db.rsp)
     3) Run the installer:
          /home/oracle/database/runInstaller –silent –responseFile /path/to/db.rsp
The result is:
[FATAL] [INS-32038] The operating system group specified for central inventory (oraInventory) ownership is invalid.
CAUSE: User performing installation is not a member of the operating system group specified for central inventory(oraInventory) ownership.
ACTION: Specify an operating system group that the installing user is a member of. All the members of this operating system group will have write permission to the central inventory directory (oraInventory).
Could someone please tell me what this error means, and what I'm doing wrong? The group for oraInventory is "oinstall" and user "oracle" (the user doing the installation) is certainly a member of that group. When I run "id" I get the following: "uid=502(oracle) gid=505(oinstall) groups=503(dba),504(asmadmin),505(oinstall),506(oper)"
Here's the log files:
     http://x.petio.org/2011/11/30/installActions2011-11-30_09-19-27AM.log
     http://x.petio.org/2011/11/30/oraInstall2011-11-30_09-19-27AM.err
     http://x.petio.org/2011/11/30/oraInstall2011-11-30_09-19-27AM.out

Hi;
Nevermind I figured it out. My UNIX_GROUP_NAME was set to "oracle" and should have been "oinstall".Nice to hear ;) Thanks for sharing soluiton,if it possible when u belive your thread has been answered, it pretend to lose time of other forums user while they are searching open question which is not answered,thanks for understanding

How to migrate an existing Microsoft SSIS deployment if it is decided to replace SQL Server with an Oracle database?

Hi Oracle Gurus!
Currently, I am designing an ETL solution that transforms and loads a lot of data from flat files and sends it to an SQL Server 2008 R2 database for storage. However, at a future point of time, it may be decided to add or even replace SQL Server with an Oracle 11g database.
Currently, I am writing script transforms in C# to dynamically generate SSIS packages to tansform and load the data into SQL Server. But considering that in future, an Oracle 11g or 12c database might be added to, or replace the SQL Server database, how do I make my script transforms (or whatever else I am developing currently for SQL Server) reusable to the extent possible?
Or more precisely, what steps do I take, from an Oracle point of view, to ensure that any future migration of data to an Oracle database would be smooth to the extent possible?
Looking up to my Oracle Gurus for enlightenment in this matter!
Novice Kid

When you're writing your on C# code to load data into the SQL Server you have to modify the routines so that they will work with Oracle.
One approach is to use the extproc agent which would allow you to directly call external programs with all the logic in it to perform the load of your files and to put the data into the Oracle database. Another option would be to use utl_file package (or equivalents) which will allow you to open external files from your Oracle database and to directly read its content and then to pass it to the related tables.

SAP Netweaver MDM 7.1 Installation with MS SQL Database

Hello Experts,
I have installed MDM 7.1 System on IBM AIX and connected to Oracle database. I have observed whenever we create Repositories MDM Created Table Spaces/ Data files under the one Oracle_SID that is how it should be . Now we had to install MDM on windows machines using with MS SQL DB. I have installed it and connected to MS SQL Server.
The problem is when ever we create or copy new repositories it is creating new database for each repository under MS SQL Server, Although we have created a separate SQL Database and mentioned the same name while initializing the database connection.
Example while connecting MDM For first time to the DB , I have used 4 schema options , Now if i create a new repository it is creating 4 Database instances under MS SQL DB. On oracle it will just create Table Spaces.
Is there any one who worked on MDM Using MS SQL DB. Is this a problem or This is how it works on MS SQL ?
Please help , I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
As per my understanding this is the standard behavior of MS SQL Database. I think this is how it works.
Please Refer, Step III>> of this blog where he states that For each repository, there are two databases XXXX_m000 and XXXX_z000. /people/balas.gorla/blog/2006/09/08/change-tracking-in-mdm
Also refer, Here it says connect to database for repository.
Step 3) Connect to Database u2013 RepositoryName_Z000 and then open table A2i_CM_History http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10cbe10c-0654-2c10-3d8b-ff99dadc402e?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

Pl do not post duplicates - continue the discussion in your original thread - Re: Exp/Imp Database (DATA PUMP)

Does BAM works with only Oracle database at the backend.

Hi, I was wondering if Oracle Bussiness Activity Monitor(BAM) implemented within ADF application works with Oracle database as Oracle database is one of the very few databases supporting Database Change Notification? Or can it be implemented using MySQL database etc.
Thanks!

AFAIK only Oracle db supports Database Change Notification.

Strange problem with an Oracle database link to SQL Server

Hi gurus,
Please help me on this problem.
We have an Oracle 10R2 database link to a SQL Server 2000 database. I can select count(*) from The_SQL_Server_Table@myOracleLink, and I can describe The_SQL_Server_Table@myOracleLink, but I cannot select Column1 from The_SQL_Server_Table@myOracleLink! I am getting the ORA-00904: "COLUMN1": invalid identifier error.
Could anyone tell me what is wrong here? By the way, the same user name can select all the columns in The_SQL_Server_Table through ODBC from the client app. But I need the DB link to work with some Oracle stored functions.
Thank you!

Re-installation with existing product code/disk but no disk drive.

I have a new laptop and need to re-register my Photoshop C6 student and teachers edition, can I do this with my existing product code?
Also if it is possible, how do I then re-install Photoshop with no disk drive? (I originally just popped the disk in and entered my product code.)
(Additional information: Both my laptop and Photoshop are for Windows.)

Hello,
if you are able to do that, you should deactivate (Help -> Deactivate) the Adobe software before you lose the machine to it being reset. You will still use the same serial number to activate the soiftware when you get the application(s) reinstalled.
If you need any help with activation you can contact Adobe Support directly by chat or phone.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact: (Contact Support – Download and Installation)
