Can I Re-Map Cube using XML template ?

Hi,
I'm running the latest versions of olap 10g (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 ) and AWM (10.2.0.1).
I have a cube built with compressed composites partioned on time.
I am loading 4 different hierarchies on the location dimension. (the lowest level
are different cuts of data and not related). I can successfully load and aggregate the cube by re-mapping a different relational table to the cube and maintaining the cube in AWM . This requires 4 passes. Everything works fine and I get the desired result.
The issue is that when I try to automate this ..the load (sql script I saved in AWM) doesn't know that the cube was re-mapped even though I saved a new sql script for each of the 4 passes. It takes the initial mapping on each load.
I need to re-map a different relational table to the cube in between loads. (Can't use a view because I'm mapping to a different level in the cube each time).
Is there a way I can use part of the XML template to accomplish this ? I can save
an XML template for each mapping but don't know how to read it back in with out
blowing away the existing cube.
Thanks & A Verry Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to All !!
Mike

watrost,
thanks for your reply...
I did infact try what you describe thru olap DML. It worked fine when the cube was not defined with compressed composites. When using compressed composites the load of the measures into the cube worked fine but the aggregation was so slow ... On my test cube it took over 1 hour to aggregate 1 variable that took 2 minutes using the script that AWM generated and about 5 minutes with the olap dml and no compressed composites. On a larger cube with production data I canceled the OLAP dml aggregation after 24 hours. The AWM script ran in 1 hour. I need the compressed composites because of the sparsity and size of the cube without them. Do you know if there is any additional code needed for aggregation when compressed composites are involved. I used the aggmap generated by AWM for the aggregation
thanks
Mike

Building & deploying cubes in OWB (can we do these by using XML scripts)

Hi Guys,
Building & deploying cubes in OWB (can we do these by using XML scripts).
Is it possible in OWB?
Please help me ASAP..

Hi, i managed to work out a solution with my web host.
The problem was that they are using Apache to process all incoming http requests then only forwarding specific requests to tomcat.
So by entering the port number after the domain ie www.mydomain.com:8080/ the http request went directly to tomcat and was processed correctly.
Furthermore my web host configured apache so all requests go straight to tomcat so now the port number isn't even required and all is well with the world again!
except... navigating to different pages in my site does not update the url correctly.
For example the site loads index.jsp when entering www.mydomain.com/ but when navigating to another page (i.e. photo.jsp) the photo.jsp page loads ok but the url is updated to www.mydomain.com/faces/index.jsp which is not correct. When refreshing the photo.jsp page it reloads the index.jsp page because of the incorrect url.
any ideas...

Can a Java Mapping be used on non-xml data

I would like to use a java mapping to transform non-xml formatted data to an IDOC or XML format.
1) Does the input or output of a Java Map have to be XML.
2) If possible can the test feature be used to load and test a non-xml data file.
3) Any comments or lessons learned in this area.

Hi Johan,
below are some suggestions for your scenario:

1) Structured flat picked up using J2EE FTP adapter.
Indeed; you can use the file adapter to receive/retrieve this file from "any" third party system.
2) Structured flat converted to XML (Using JAVA mapping?)
When you send any message to XI, it's the adapter's task to convert this message into a XI understandable format i.e. SOAP. So the flat file to XML conversion is not your concern.
However, if you need to perform any data transformation (input file to IDOC) then you can opt for XSLT (XML stylesheets), Java mappings or the XI mapping tool within the repository. Based on my own experience with IDOC mapping, I can tell you that XSLT and/or Java mapping is the best way to achieve this kind of mapping.
3) XML mapped to SAP IDoc using graphical editor.
See comments point 2)
Cheers,
Rob.

Can we Report BW Cube using Cognos Fornt End tools

Hello, Experts.
We need some inputs on how to Report BW cubes using COGNOS front end tools.
is this possible?
do we need to develop new cubes out in cognos again for making reports?
and in BW cube some attributes of material are not navigational if we go to cognos can we use this attributs for drill down or filtering?
Thanks in Advance.
Bharath.

i am currently working on bi 7 with cognos 8.2 and go live very soon
- best approach is to use query as datasource for cognos (cognos consultants agree)
.......without query as datasource, cognos cannot see any reusable objects.
- If i recall, cognos can leverage attributes as navigational even if bw does not have them set that way.
- one downside is that you need to make sure all your rkf descriptions are locked down 100% because cognos uses the description in their xml definitions.
- Make sure you have an experience cognos framework modeler that knows ins and out and does not use simple wizards. same happened to us and lots of settings occured very late and slowed project.
reach out to me via my profile and i can give you pointers.

Can a pluggable mapping be used by more than one project.

I have a common mapping which 2 projects use it. If I deploy in one project the otherprojects mapping is getting Invalid. Can I make this mapping a pluggable mapping and then use it in 2 projects will this concept work.
Thanks

I have a common mapping which 2 projects use it. I donot think mapping can be common across the project . You can create the same mapping twice in both project.
So donot know how you are using same mapping which 2 projects use it.
If I deploy in one project the otherprojects mapping is getting InvalidAs i told create the same mapping in Both the project and use it.
Can I make this mapping a pluggable mapping and then use it in 2 projects will this concept work.You can not share Pluggable mapping across the Project.

How can we create and change RSS XML?

2. The pages should use data of the other XML pages generated by the XML-forms (e.g. News XML pages)?
3. How can we setup and change RSS XML templates (e.g. add new tags, change properties and values)?

Hi
Is there any way to create Rss for personal blogs and add it into our portal. That means we can add it newly by clicking button.

Why use XML

I can't find any true tangible benefits to using XML
to transfer data from legacy systems, in comparison to say, using an external file and loading into existing
schema objects, which we do use.
We have 4-6 internal systems, and many many external systems, that currently use text or DB links to transfer data around, and of course the manager hears the catch-phrase-of-the-day XML, all time time and wants us to use it. We do a lot of complicated reading of the files, i.e. headers and multiple layers of detail (header & detail lines can have infinite detail lines)
Can somebody offer up why use XML? (white pages, something I can get proof with) or why not to use it.
To me, completly different layer of technology, everybody has a "standard", nobody has the same standard.
More storage in the database (being a DBA I don't like this), and seems to need its own full time employee to manage it (the IT director won't like that).

SO... you STILL have to get what the file looks like... can't be read from inside the file (like a decent CSV), hasn't somebody realized that keep layout seperate from the data during outside transfers is stupid?
I understand the tags etc, I guess because disk is free, and networks are faster, lets clog them up with useless info <the tags>. I have loaded/extracted XML from the database (what a PITA that is) before I asked this question.
My question is, can somebody please point me in a direction of the benefits of using XML to transfer data between systems.
Why use XML? Why is XML better than a CSV (or formatted text file)????
What benefits does it have over those file types??
A great list of pro/cons would be nice... everything on oracle web sites, and google say all basically say the same thing... "use it because it's new and neat"
Why should we spend hundreds of man hours reinventing the wheel?
What tangible benefits are there to using it?
Might be the wrong forum, if so, please point me in the right direction.

Creating new template using existing template

Is anyone aware of a way to create a new project template using an existing template? I am testing a few scenarios and want to quickly be able to create a template without setting one up from scratch.
I tried a few ways but could not find a way to do this - you can only create a project using a template, not another template.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
Find the template from setup->Projects->Templates and use copyto , new template will be created from existing one.

Designing the structure of jsp pages using xml

how can i design the structure of the jsp using xml file?

The structure of the JSP? I don't know what that means. Perhaps you can explain why you thought using XML for that would be a good idea, that might help us comprehend the question.

IPod Touch maps - can you save maps?

The maps feature looks cool, but can you save maps for use when away from a hotspot? Can you get directions, then use them on the road?

When in the Directions mode, check out the "Overview" screen once you have a route loaded. It shows a high-level map with the route plotted. Now, tap the "Start" button at the top right, and it will zoom/pan the map to the route start with the directions at the top. Then, press the "<-" or "->" arrows at the top right to step forward and backward through the directions. The map zooms and pans accordingly displaying the directions at the top. Map area outside the screen at each direction point is obviously not visible because it is not loaded.
No WiFi required once the route is loaded. Very nice!!
UPDATE: It appears that BOTH the "Map" and "Satellite" views are downloaded with the route, so you can view the route either way. (But interestingly, the "Hybrid" view is not visible.)

Can Dynamic xml templates be used in interactive form callable objects?

We are trying to implement Offline adobe forms using guided procedures (Impersonalized forms).
We have no problem while creating the callable object using the normal xdp template. But whenever we try to use Acrobat 7/8 dynamic xml template, the following error occurs and the template is not picked.
"Could not retrieve template fields: Wrong document format or adapter mismatch from adapter"
Cant we use dynamic xml templates for adobe forms in GP? If we can, how to resolve this? Please let me know.

Using XSL-XML template to convert name value pairs into XML elements

Hi,
I have a xml document in the format:
<?xml version=”1.0”?>
<body title="Mr" firstName="Joesph" middeNames="George Harry" lastname="Smith" countrycode="GBP"/>
I need to convert this using a XSL-XML template in BI publisher to return XML in the following format, while doing some conversion, e.g. converting countrycode from GBP to UK:
<?xml version=”1.0”?>
<body>
<title>Mr</title>
<firstName>Joseph</firstName>
<middleNames>George Harry</middleNames>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
<countrycode>UK</countrycode>
</body>
Would appreciate if anyone could point me in the correct direction.

Hi Sweta,
Why MTB??? Message Transformation bean is used to change the format of the message... If you are planning to call any XSLT or java mapping through that then you can give it a try..
>>how to get the last and first 3 special characters in the output text using MTB?
Put them in message mapping itself and write it in File

when i click the Apply button, it is throwing an error 'Bad Request'
Navigation : XML Publisher Administrator > Data Definitions > query the report
Click on the name of the report > click 'Update file' besides Data Template > Choose file > Click Apply
I am getting the below error
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Now, i could not upload a new XML template.
Am I doing anything wrong.

Thank you Eugen and Hussein.
The problem is not with the template.
It seems to be a problem in that particular instance.
Uploaded it in a different instance.
However once i run the program, i cannot view the output as the browser window flashes and disappears.
My colleague says , it is to do with the trusted site to download something from the browser.
Can you please guide me on how to fix this ?
