Bug in Presentation services - using cookies for GET requests

Hi,
I am implementing OBIEE bridge to integrate report in to 3rd party web applications.
I am creating page using the following syntax:
*string pageId = htmlViewService.startPage(new StartPageParams() { dontUseHttpCookies = true }, sessionId);*
Even though its clearly stated not to use Cookies, my guess is that below request is failing because it is expecting cookies:
http://localhost/Bridge?RedirectURL=saw.dll%2fuicomponents/common/common.xml?fmapId=KqIJCw
returns with the response
OBIPSNotLoggedIn
I have tried to inject all headers and all cookies in the request, but its not helping. Can someone help me in this?
I will really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Irrespective of building EVALUATE expression (using constant only) in the RPD BMM logical column or just in Answers there are some rules:
1. RPD/Answers
If you want to query just EVALUATE expression without some other column then this is must do (example):
Column1:
case when 1=2 then PRODUCTS.PROD_CATEGORY else EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1)' as char, 100) end
Evaluate is using only constant. We place presentation attribute inside the case to make navigator to handle this request.
2. Answers
You can use only EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1)' as char, 100) in the Answers column expression but only in combination with another presentation attribute, cannot have only EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1)' as char, 100) in the request.
Column1: PRODUCTS.PROD_CATEGORY
Column2: EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1)' as char, 100)

Whether to use cookie for session mgmt

i m using session mgmt by getsession ,setvalue& getValue methods.
whether it is necessary to use cookies for it

you don't use get/setValue, you should be using get/setAttribute
you don't need to do anything with cookies. session tracking cookies are inserted automatically.

Stateful WebLogic Web Services using cookie

Hi all,
How do I configure WebLogic Web Services to return cookie in the HTTP header?
In my weblogic.xml I included the following attributes but no cookie is returned in the HTTP header.
<session-descriptor>
<cookie-http-only>false</cookie-http-only>
 <tracking-enabled>true</tracking-enabled>
 <cookies-enabled>true</cookies-enabled>
 <cookie-name>JSESSION_ID</cookie-name >
</session-descriptor>

Ok just as I expected. So I guess I am left with the following two options
1) either I switched to using JAXB in my apps instaed of xmlbeans....
2) or if I still wanna use the old JAX-RPC web services to deploy on the Weblogic 10gR3 server i will have to create my own ant task jwsc directly......as shown below in your docs
Programming Web Services for WebLogic Server (ant tasks)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/webserv/anttasks.html
Getting Started With WebLogic Web Services Using JAX-RPC
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/webserv_rpc/index.html
Will OEPE be supporting the old JAX-RPC anytime in the near future release? or have to create own build ant task to call jwsc ant task directly to compile JAX-RPC web services??

Creating Web services using JDeveloper for Pl/SQL package having ref cursor

Hi,
I am trying to create web services for PL/SQL package in JDeveloper. When I am trying to create this web service, the functions in the package which is returning referential cursor or record cursor are not visible. When I highlight the function and click "Why Not?", it displays the message "The following types used by the program unit do not have an XML schema mapping and/or serializer Specified: REF CURSOR". Could you please let me know, how I can create this web service?
I am getting similar error when I am trying to create web service for a package with overloaded functions also.
Thanks,

Ok so I played around with this some more. I created the same process in bpel using oracle bpel designer and here are the results.
1. Against 10g database running a synch process data is retutned without error.
2. Against 9i database running an asynch process data is retutned without error.
3. Against 9i database running a synch process data is retutned with error.
I'm definilty missing something.

Can we access two rpds in a single Presentation Service using BI Cluster

Hi,
Can we have a single presentation service pointing to multiple rpd's using BI Cluster . Generally why a BI Cluster is used?

No, BI Cluster is generally used for load balancing and reduce points of failure.. In Clustering same rpd will be loaded in multiple servers and when ever primary server RPD got changed, that will be copied to other machine. So conceptually its same rpd deployed in all the machines involved in Clustering.
so in clustering if server 1 fails, then server 2 will take all the load and works for the end user. This is about clustering.

Web Service Response issue for some Requests

I have a WebService deployed on Oracle Application Server and it's an HTTPS connection. I am facing a small issue and can't figure out
what's going on. For each request there's a response returned. Sometimes the comsumer does not get the response back even though the request
is successfully processed and response generated but some how it never makes it to the consumer.
Here is the signature of the function:
public Element parseData(Element data) throws RemoteException;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------And I can't figure out why a consumer does not receive a response back for some of the requests. Any ideas what might be wrong or how to
debug this issue. Is there any place I can look to see for each request is a response going back. I don't know if it's related Network or
App. Server and where to start to debug this. As looking at the logs of my Web Service I do see all the requests being processed and response
being generated but some how it never makes it to the consumer. It normally takes arround 5 to 10 seconds to process each request and most
of time multiple requests may be being processed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there.
If the consumer of your service is a .NET client, it will silently ignore any response that is not formated as advertize in the WSDL and will return an empty object to the caller. As you are trying to use raw XML Element, it seams to be a potential explaination.
If you can turn off SSL in your test environment, you may want to run a TCP sniffer tool, on the host where your server is running. You can setup a filter on the IP @ of the consumer or the TCP port of the service comsumed. I'll recommend you look at ethereal as it's a cross platform utility.
Hope it helps.

I cannot remain logged into a site that uses cookies for authorization.

I have tried everything I can think of. All of my settings are set to allow cookies. LiveJournal won't let me post. Help is appreciated!

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click: Show Cookies
Delete all the LiveJournal cookies.
Now empty the Safari cache either from the menu bar, Safari / Empty Cache or Option + Command + E on your keyboard.
Quit then relaunch Safari. If that didn't help, if you use an ad blocker, disable that, then try again.

OBIEE Presentation Services : Default formatting for numeric fields

Hello all.
I need help in setting default formatting for numeric fields in criteria. If a user adds an numeric field, it does not have any formatting associated with it. I want to know how do you set default formatting (for example if user adds sales measure it should appear in default format like $1,000 or even with decimal places).
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi,
1) We have so many subject areas. If we select "system wide default for this data type", is this change going to reflect in all subject areas.No should do this subject area wise.
2) Will this effect if we migrate from dev to prod environment.Yes it will effect.
I hope u will follow this to-

Newbie Question, OR statement for GET requests

I apologize but I am not sure what to google to get the information I need. Typing OR is google in useless :(.
Is there a way to use OR statements in HTTP requests? For example, I am making a call to a web service like this:
http://services.myintranet.net/program?xml=1&name=von+w
Is there a way to specify an alternative for name, like
http://services.myintranet.net/program?xml=1&name=von+wORKEYWORDname=w+von

If I understand you well: there is no predefined OR token in the query string the HTTP protocol would be aware of.
You have to choose the logical operator which is expected by the service processing your URL. This could be simply "OR" or the escaped sequence of "||" or even a blank - which would escape to "+" - when specified this way.
Search Engines as Google use the following:
http://...?as_q=client+server&... is to look for pages with words "client" and "server"
http://...?...&as_oq=client+server&... is to look for pages with words "client" or "server"
So the small "o" mkes the difference and is interpreted at server side.

When making a phone call on my Samsung Galaxy s5, I need to use letters for some requests. How is that done?

When I made a recent phone call on my Samsung Galaxy s5, I was ask to enter a password, but my password includes a letter. How to I change the keyboard to use a letter also?

Good evening Litespeed! Let's get those letters on your calls pronto! When a password is requested and you need to enter a letter, simply select the number corresponding to the letter you want to enter. Keep us posted.

Need share folder for more presentation service on one physical machine?

Dear gurus,
If I want to scale more presentation service instances on one physical machine, do I still need set the network share folder for the catalogs? Can I just specify a local disk folder for them ?
thanks!
michael

thanks, that really helps!
A further question is do you have best practice recommendations about the ratio between presentation service instances number with the java host instance number ? For e.g, 1:1?
I'm trying to set more instances of bi server/presentation services/java host to get better scale performance, while i can't determine the right ratio of them. One idea I can think out is watching the processes' resource costing, is that the only way? Have some experiences values? thanks!

Possible elements in the instanceconfig.xml file for presentation services

g'day
Has anyone here come across a list of all the possible elements that can be put in the configuration file for a presentation service, instanceconfig.xml ?
I have found next to nothing in the documentations, about what can be configured there.
What I am specifically after is: How can I change the default listening port for the Presentation Service? The default port is 9710 and I want to move to another port.
Also, how can I move the JavaHost from the default port 9810? I can change the file OracleBI/web/javahost/config/config.xml to reflect the change. Once the JavaHost has been restarted it starts up on the expected port, but the Presentation Service still tries to communicate over RPC to port 9810. How do I configure the presentation service to search for the JavaHost on a non-default port?
I have boiled it down to my original question: What are the possible values I can configure in the instanceconfig.xml file?
Any comments here would be great.
Cheers, 
Borkur

So, I had a little breakthrough here.
I found in the OBIEE deployment guide, page 142:
To change the Presentation Services listener port
1 Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing.
2 Locate the <WebConfig> element.
3 Within the <WebConfig> tags, create the element <RPC> and assign it the RPC Listener Port
value for the BI Presentation Services instance, as shown in the following example.
<WebConfig>
<ServerInstance>
<RPC>
<Listener port="9715" />
</RPC>
</ServerInstance>
</WebConfig>
NOTE: In the preceding example, the RPC Listener port for the BI Presentation Services instance
has been changed to port 9715 from the default of 9710.
4 Save changes to the file.
This almost works. The RPC element has been deprecated, as was reported in the sawserver.out.log:
The configuration entry 'RPC/Listener' is deprecated. Please refer to the admin guide for more information.
What I then did was to just remove the RPC elements and leaving the Listener element straight under there ServerInstance element. This seems to have solved the problem.
I still have to figure out how to let the Presentation Service know that I have moved the JavaHost to antoher port ...
Cheers,
Borkur

Unable to login to presentation services after doing the upgrade 10g to 11g

Hi All,
I had a running instance of OBIEE 11g 11.1.1.6.0, my 11g rpd and webcatlog was working fine. Imp to note is that, I had configured external LDAP authenticator and wasn't using the weblogic embedded LDAP.
Now, today, I had to updrage 10g RPD and Webcatlog to 11g and merge into the my current 11g system. I ran the upgrade utitlity and it completed the upgrade successfully but now when I try to login into presentation services using the weblogic user, the presentation services gets hung. It doesn't even give me a message like "Invalid login or password" I DON't get any message but my Presentation services and RPD gets hung( when I try to open it online)
Also, I am trying to refresh the GUIDs after making the necessary changes in the config and instanceconfig.xml file i start the obi server and presentation server, it doesn't come up. So I am unable to refresh my GUIDs
What could be issue here? Do I need to fix an credential file? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ronny

Unable to open dashboards in presentation services

Hi All,
I have recently installed BI applications in my system.After installtion I am unable to open dashboards.Answers and delivers all the others are working fine.
When I click on the dashboard link it is giving the following error
"access denied for user to path /users/administrator/_portal.
Error Details
Error Codes: O9XNZMXB".
Thank You

Hi ,
I could't able to solve my problem after going through the above post.
I Want to login into Presentation services using paint/paint as userid & pwd, but it is throwing me following error.
" Unable to Log In
Error connecting to the Oracle BI Server: The specified ODBC DSN is referencing a subject area that no longer exists within the Oracle BI Repository.
Error Details
Error Codes: WH4KCFW6:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW).
State: 08004. Code: 10018. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: 08004] [nQSError: 10018] Access for the requested connection is refused. [nQSError: 43037] Invalid catalog, Sales - Order Lines, specified. (08004) "
When i gave some blank pwd, then it clearly shows that "An invalid User Name or Password was entered."
So, i concluded that the pwd which am giving for the pain is correct and there is some thing to do with my catelog. So, i went ahead and changed in the instanceconfig file as pain catalog and even restarted oc4j, Bi server & Presentation server, even then its giving me the same error.
Also, my NQS file have paint red as default.
Can anyone give some inputs on this error and how to over come this?
