Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 and Oracle 10g

Hi all,
One of our clients has an oracle forms 6i application and Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 called from forms with host command. We are going to upgrade the forms application to 10g but would it be possible to integrate this old version of BO in Oracle 10g application (and Oracle 10g DB)
Does it exist any official spreadsheet which explains the compatibility of BO and Oracle DB?
Thank you in advance.
Alex

Options
1 upgrade the reports to 10g
2 Implement webutil and call the reports 4.1.6 using host

  • Reports Requirements using R12 and Oracle 10g Reports

    Hi All,
    Looking forward to some valuable inputs to propose a technical solution in R12 using 10g Reports Developer.
    Requirements are :
    1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
    2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ( Is this possible in 10g Reports and Oracle Apps, Report Manager responsibility ?)
    Regards,

    >
    Yes, Reports can create output in Excel - but XML Publisher offers better and easier options.

  • Business Objects Reports and Web Services for Dashboards

    Hello!
    I am writing a Business Object report against my Universe.  I save the report to the CMS and then right click on the report block and click "Publish as a Web Service...".  This opens up that diaglog and I am able to publish the web service.  I then can import the web service into Dashboards 4.1 (Xcelsius) and am working working to figure it out further at this point.
    My question is this:  When I go back to the report in Business Objects, and modify the report, I would like to republish the web service.  I click on Design and rework the report.  Run the report.  Save the report.  I right click on the report block and I don't see the "Publish as a Web Service..." choice.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Business Objects 4.1...
    Thank you.

    Hi Susan,
    Go to the web service publisher, expand the web service, select the block and select edit.
    Select the content and prompt and select Update.

  • Creating Business Object Reports and Dashboards utilizing Informatica

    I need to create Business Object Reports and Dashboards utilizing Informatica database. Please let me know what connections I need to create to integrate the data into Web Intelligence, Universe, Xcelsius, and Crystal Reports.
    Thank you

    I've just done some quick checking and I don't see a native connection type for Infomatica in Designer or Crystal.  (Designer is a tool for building universes - WebI and Xcelsius both read data through a universe, Crystal can read data through a direct connection to the database or through a universe.) This means you'll probably have to set up a "generic" ODBC connection in order to connect to it.

  • Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0 / Linux / Oracle / Tomcat Web Server

    Hello Experts,
    I have never done a BOBJ install before and I have some questions:
    First, here is our setup: Business Objects Enterprise XI 4.0 / Linux / Oracle / Tomcat Web Server
    1.     We are being asked how big u2013 disk space- to make the server. All I can find is 14 GB for an English only install, there is no documentation on how big the databases need to be. Does anyone have any experience and can tell me how big the databases are going to be initially? I need to tell the server team how much space to put on the server.
    2.     The documentation says to have two databases or schemas, one for Central Management Server and one for the Auditing Data Store. My question around this is whether there is a preferred way to do it, separate databases or separate schemas?
    3.     The documentation does not say anything about the file system layout, do we need to create the standard SAP file system layout (i.e. /sapmnt, etc.)
    Many many thanks in advance, any advice would be a greate help .. please help
    Regards,
    Sunil Patel

    Hi,
    here are some answers:
    1. Well for the Installation of the Software as itself (not the databases) i would recommend at least 30 GB. All the Reports are getting stored physically in the installation directory. This behavior is by default. Later you can move the FileStore (where the Reports, Universes, etc. are located in) to a NAS share f.e.
    With Regards to the Databases i would recommend 1 GB for the CMS DB and 5 GB for the Audit DB. It depends on how you Audit your System. If you audit more actions, more information in the Audit DB will be stored.
    2. 2 Schemas on one DB is fine
    3. Usually you run a BOE installation on UNIX/LINUX under an installation user. BOE will be installed into his Home Directory.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • Open  Business Objects report with J2SE

    Hi, How can I do to open a Business Objects report with J2SE aplicattion?
    Thanks,

    Depending on the version of Crystal Reports / Business Objects you have, there are Java libraries you can use to connect to the Business Objects Application server. I spent a lot of time on BO's website figuring it out. In the end i only needed a few libraries to connect, and ask the server to print a report. I remember that there was a way to have the server send a pdf as a binary stream, that you could then save as a pdf file and read. You can do a lot more with the SDK, to the extent of creating your own report creation tool. If you would like some specifics, i might be able to find the some of the documentation i used. It all came from the BO website.
    Wish i could be more help

  • Automating Testing of Business Objects Reports...

    I am a new user to empirix e-Tester and I need some assistance understanding how the program captures events during recording... I am trying to build a very simple test to use against the Business Objects Reporting package.
    Basically, I have the following steps in this test case:
    1. Login to the system. Got this working and configured.
    2. Select a report from the listing of documents. This works.
    3. Enter Report Criteria and submit report. This Works.
    4. Filter report using drop down boxes that contain valid data filters. This doesn't work.
    In step 4, I basically have a screen with 2 frames. The top frame contains drop down lists for the filters. The main frame contains the report data. When I am recording the script it works, but on playback it freezes and times out. If I look through the script, it shows the index of the item I selected in the associated list box. I looked in the address properties and it shows the events (onclick and onchange) and the onchange has the correct index... but it fails to update the data frame with the filtered report... it just times out.
    Does anyone understand what I am doing much less doing wrong? I can attach some screen prints if neccessary to clarify what's going on.
    TIA,
    Wayne

    I have run into similar issues like this in my testing. The issue is usually caused by dynamic option values. When you record a script, eTester captures the value associated with the drop down. If on playback it cannot match its recorded value to a choice in the list (remember a drop down is a restricted list) it will come back with a ?failed to set option value?? There are a couple of ways you can fix this. The first option is to expand the page, address and parameters node that that the script fails on. Find the parameters with value, number (Myval, 1) for example. Right-click the parameter and select properties. Click the ?base on index? button. The tool will now select the option by index instead of value. The other possibility is to select options-->Current Script then select General. Check the first option ?Record all list selection by index.? This will do what is described above globally when scripts are recorded. I hope this is inline with your problem and helps.

  • Exsisting Crystal Reports conversion to Business Objects reports

    hi,
    can existing crystal reports can be converted to Business Objects reports ( Adhoc, webi, deski types ).
    If yes, what versions of CR can be converted to BOBJ reports and what versions could not be.
    Where woud I go to get the information and procedure to get this done.
    Your help is deeply appreicated. Thanks.

    Hi Venkat,
    Unfortunately there is no direct method or tool which can convert the existing Crystal reports to WEBI or DESKI. The best way to go about converting the reports would be to re-create the reports in the required reporting tool.
    All these three reporting softwares are different in working and are designed to suit different reporting needs. So based on the requirements, you can select the tool which best suits your requirement.
    I hope this helps in answering your question.

  • Business Objects has encountered a problem and need to close

    Hello All,
    "business objects has encountered a problem and need to close"  is the error message i get whenever i try to import from Desktop Intelligence.
    I deleted the .LSI files.....but in vain ,i still have the same problem.Please let me know of any other fix.
    Thanks in Adv

    Hi,
       Just to clarify, did you try to "rename" or "delete" the lsi file?
       Please try renaming it from XXX.lsi to XXX.lsd.old
         (Path : C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Business bjects\Business Objects....)
       When you log back into Deski via your machine, it should generate a new file is smaller size. Does this happen at all in your environment?

  • Using Clob with TopLink 9.0.4.5 and Oracle 10g RAC

    I am trying to store an XML file in a Clob type field of a DB table using TopLink 9.0.4.5 and Oracle 10g RAC and need some guidance about how to do it. I got some directions to start it with the Tip "How-To: Map Large Objects (LOBs) to Oracle Databases with OracleAS TopLink" but still need some more helps.
    When using the Oracle JDBC OCI driver, the tip gives the code block for a Clob field:
    DirectToField scriptMapping = new DirectToField();
    scriptMapping.setAttributeName("script");
    scriptMapping.setFieldName("IMAGE.SCRIPT");
    descriptor.addMapping(scriptMapping);
    As I understand, TopLink creates instances of the Descriptor class at run time for each of the descriptor files and stores them in a database session, where is the proper place (in SessionEvent of TopLinkSessionEventHandler?) for me to get a reference to such an instance of my Descriptor class in Java code so that I can add the above mentioned additional Mapping? Are the above String values of "script" and "IMAGE.SCRIPT" predefined in TopLink API? Can I accomplish the same thing just using the TopLink Workbench tool instead? If yes, please advise the detailed steps to do so.
    The tip also states to call the following code in case of using Clob:
    DatabaseLogin login = session.getLogin();
    login.useStringBinding();
    Should the above 2 lines of code be called after the following lines of code?
    SessionManager sessionManager = SessionManager.getManager();
    Server serverSession = (Server)sessionManager.getSession("MY_SESSION_NAME");
    Besides the above extra coding for the Session and Descriptor Mapping, is there any special handling in between Data model and DB table mapping? Can I map a Java String type to a DB Clob field using the Direct-to-field mapping?
    Appreciate any help.

    Never mind ....... I had already figured it out .....

  • Auditing in oracle 10g database and oracle 10g application server

    Dear friends,
    We have oracle 10g application server and oracle 10g database server in place.My criteria is to audit users connected using oracle application user credentials to the database.
    Can you please tell me how can i do it.
    Thanks & regards,

    Its the database connection you want to track. The session audit will show where it came from.
    Auditing is turned using this command:
    alter system set audit_trail = DB scope=spfile;
    Note: The use of spfile will require a DB bounce before audit starts
    To audit Sessions:
    audit create session;
    Query by Audit Type:
    SELECT A.USERNAME,
    OS_USERNAME,
    A.TIMESTAMP,
    A.RETURNCODE,
    TERMINAL,
    USERHOST
    FROM DBA_AUDIT_SESSION A
    WHERE USERHOST = <replace with iAS servername> ;
    By User
    SELECT USERNAME,OBJ_NAME,ACTION_NAME , TIMESTAMP
    FROM DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL WHERE USERNAME = 'SCOTT';
    Check for users sharing database accounts
    select count(distinct(terminal)),username
    from dba_audit_session
    having count(distinct(terminal))>1
    group by username;
    Attempts to access the database at unusual hours
    SELECT username, terminal, action_name, returncode,
    TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
    TO_CHAR (logoff_time, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
    FROM dba_audit_session
    WHERE TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'HH24:MI:SS'), 'HH24:MI:SS') <
    TO_DATE ('08:00:00', 'HH24:MI:SS')
    OR TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'HH24:MI:SS'), 'HH24:MI:SS') >
    TO_DATE ('19:30:00', 'HH24:MI:SS');
    Attempts to access the database with non-existent users
    SELECT username, terminal, TO_CHAR (TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
    FROM dba_audit_session
    WHERE returncode <> 0
    AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 'x'
    FROM dba_users
    WHERE dba_users.username = dba_audit_session.username);
    Other audits you might consider:
    audit grant any object privilege;
    audit alter user;
    audit create user;
    audit drop user;
    audit drop tablespace;
    audit grant any role;
    audit grant any privilege;
    audit alter system;
    audit alter session;
    audit delete on AUD$ by access;
    audit insert on AUD$ by access;
    audit update on AUD$ by access;
    audit delete table;
    audit create tablespace;
    audit alter database;
    audit create role;
    audit create table;
    audit alter any procedure;
    audit create view;
    audit drop any procedure;
    audit drop profile;
    audit alter profile;
    audit alter any table;
    audit create public database link;

  • Install Oracle 11i Suite and Oracle 10g on same Server

    Hi
    We are an Educational firm planning to launching Oracle 11i and 10g.
    Can I install both the Oracle 11i E-Business Suite and Oracle 10g on the same Server? If it can What is best configuration for the Server that can I bought?
    provide Configuration too.
    thanks

    "However, I do not suggest any windows platform for 11i as that is not so good os for 11i. You may either go far unix or linux" - 140042
    That's absolutely right. It is better to have at least two linux/unix machines:
    # 1 machine for application server - admin, web, form, concurrent services
    # 2 machine for DB server
    If you want, you may integrate Oracle apps 11.5.10 (on #1 and # machines) with OracleAS 10g (# machine).
