If you can't do this at the Metalayer (BVs or Universe) - then subreports and shared variables are the method for CR to use multiple datasources in the same report.

Can I combine multiple entries into a single statement?

I am relatively new to Live Cycle so forgive my lack of technical wording.
I would like to use multiple entry fields to fill in a statement.
For example:
I'd like the user to see this:
Target Dropdown Endo Dropdown Type Dropdown Version # Entry Date 1 Entry Date 2 Entry
and then have the form merge all that together into a line that looks like this:
RS_(target)_(endo)_(type)\(version)_(date)_(date)
Preferably without repeating information on the page as we'll have multiple of these entries and the page will get hectic quick.
Is this possible?
I first had each dropdown in individual table fields, but due to regulations we follow the entries need to be merged without spaces.
I always have a backup if this can't be done, but any help is appreciated.

Not sure where you're sending it, but if you have a global variable named "bob".
bob.value = "RS_"+target.rawValue+"_"+endo.rawValue+"_"+type.rawValue+"\"+version.rawValue+"_"+date.r awValue+"_"+date2.rawValue;
Something like that should work.

Re: Multiple Data sources in single project

Hi Experts,
I am working in JDEV 11.1.1.3.0.
In my model project i have configured 2AM with 2 different data base connections, both are working fine. Now in the 2nd AM i am trying to execute VO and getting the value, but the query is not executing, if i execute the Same VO from data base then it's working fine.
Code:
AllTabColumnsROVORowImpl allTableColumnRow = null;
AllTabColumnsROVOImpl allTabColumnVO = getAllTabColumnsROVO();
Iterator tableItr = tableNameLst.iterator();
while (tableItr.hasNext())
String tableName = tableItr.next().toString();
allTabColumnVO.setBindTableName(tableName.trim());
allTabColumnVO.executeQuery();
System.out.println("query: " + allTabColumnVO.getQuery());
while (allTabColumnVO.hasNext())
allTableColumnRow =
(AllTabColumnsROVORowImpl) allTabColumnVO.next();
System.out.println("Column name: " +
allTableColumnRow.getColumnName());
columnMap.put(tableName + "_" + allTableColumnRow.getColumnName(),
allTableColumnRow.getDataType());
Bind variable i am getting from list, that's coming fine, but the while statement is not executing, method is ending after printing query.
Can any one help me what is wrong here.

You have to put the options -Djbo.jdbc.debug=true -Djbo.debugoutput=console in the 'javaOptions' field of your run configuration (in the view controller project).
Then you'll get the info.

Single .rar file for multiple data sources

Can we configure multiple data sources into single .rar file? . Currently,
we are creating a seperate .rar file to configure each datasource by
'only' modifing ra.xml file. This is proving to be a tedius operation in
some cases when the application is integrated with multiple data sources.

Siva-
Unfortunately, no. One of the limitations of the resource adapter spec
is that it doesn't provide a means of specifying multiple separate named
configurations, so you can only have a single configuration.
If you need more flexibility, you may want to consider programatically
building up the PersistenceManagerFactory and then binding them into
JNDI.

Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

Hi Experts,
Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Ashok,
Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
[ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
The item status - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Combining heterogeneous data sources in a single data target

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement as below for combining multiple data sources (different key fields) into a single target
Target Key Fields : sales doc, item, schdl line, delivery no and delivery item.
1 source key fields : sales doc and item (VAITM)
2 source key fields :sales doc, item, schdl line, delivery no and delivery item (V_SSL)
3. source key fields : delivery number and delivery item. (VCITM)
Is there an innovative way of combining all these records in a single record in data target rather then creating multiple entries (due to different source keys) rather than using a conventional look up routines.
We are on BI 7.0.
Thanks,
Rita

Hi,
Target Key Fields : sales doc, item, schdl line, delivery no and delivery item.
1 source key fields : sales doc and item (VAITM)
2 source key fields :sales doc, item, schdl line, delivery no and delivery item (V_SSL)
3. source key fields : delivery number and delivery item. (VCITM)
You can actually create a View on (1) and (2) tables in SE11 and then create a generic datasource in RSO2.
You create one more generic DS from (3) table.
Combine these two DS in an Infosource and update to DSO.

Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

Hi all,
Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
Looking forward to ur reply.

Hi
OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

Can we have 2 data sources for a Single infospoke?

Hi,
As per the above, can we have 2 data sources (i.e Infocube and Masterdata attribute) for a single Infospoke.
In the current scenario, Material is my infoobject of a cube and also need material attribute - gross weight to be made available in a table.
Please let me know if it is possible?
If yes, explain me how?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Ram,
try these:
- create a multi provider and include the cube and master data attribute concerned.
- create a infospoke againt the multi provider.
- do same steps as usual.
Hope it helps.

Configure a single ODI install for multiple Data Sources in ERPI

I am setting up multiple data sources in ERPI to point to different EBS instances. How would I go about setting up ODI to support that without multiple installations of ODI? or is multiple installs the best way to go, from an 'ease of management' perspective?
Thanks!

First off - Have no knowledge of ERPi - Just googled it.
If its any help, we have multiple instances of EBS on the same box, we have seperate DWH (and ODI Work / Master Repos) environments aligned to these instances. An ODI Agent can only communicate with one ODI Work repository, hence we have Multiple Agents so we can use the EBIZ -> DWH pairs simultaneasouly.
Maybe someone will come along and tell us how it could work differently, until then - its works for us!

Bursting with multiple data sources

Hello all,
I am working in a retail environment and we are building reports for the stores. There are several reports and they all receive the same reports. We are using BIP Entreprise with the bursting feature and it works very well.
The problem is that there are too many reports and we would like to combine all reports of the same store within the same PDF. We use the multiple data source feature and was able to concatenate all reports together.
Using this new report and template, we can not make the bursting functionality to work properly: the bursted report do not contain all the required report components.
For example, I have 2 queries A and B each producing reports for 3 stores: 2, 4 and 5. Without bursting, the output is as is:
Query A - Store 2
Query A - Store 4
Query A - Store 5
Query B - Store 2
Query B - Store 4
Query B - Store 5
With bursting into a file using the store number, I get the following:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
+ Store 2 - Query B
+ Store 4 - Query B
+ Store 5 - Query B
I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
+ Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
+ Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
+ Store 5 - Query B
The main question is: can this be done using BI Pub Enterprise? We using version 10.1.3.3.2
If it is, can you provide me with help on how to configure either/or the requests and template to accomplish this task?
I create an SR and Oracle Support does not have an answser and suggested that somebody in the Forum might help.
Thanks in advance,
Minh

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
select distinct store_name from all-stores
select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query
define the datastructure the way you wanted,
the xml will contain something like this
<stores>
<store> </store> - for store 2
<store> </store> - for store 3
<store> </store> - for store 4
<store> </store> - for store 5
<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.

Combining multiple lists into a single list

Hi,
I have created 5 different lists within the same sharepoint site. These lists have some common fields among them for example each list has same fields such as "Country", "Unit", "Review Name" etc. I now want to create a single
list that will have show only the common fields present in each list. Could you please advise if this can be done and if so how?
Thanks, Aarti

To have a full fledged synchronization between 5 lists will be very complicated.
If the 6th list is a read-only / view only, I would recommend you to create Lists 1, 2,3,4 and 5 as a custom content type.
Then you can put a Content Query Web Part that filters out your custom content type and combines the content from the three lists.
or create a workflow to update the data when new item is added in other lists

Multiple Data Sources In One Logical Table

I am new to OBIEE and I have came accross an issue. I appologize if this information is in the forum somewhere but I have searched and cannot find it.
My situation is that I would like to have one logical table that contains multiple data sources which have all the same columns. I already have session variables setup to differentiate the user's security through a row-wise variable for a specific column and a session variable for another column which determines the user's association to the data source in which they belong to. This security works well when the data sources are seperated in the Business Model and Mapping portion but the issue that arises is that the user's cannot share reports when the data sources are seperated in the BM&M.
I have dragged and dropped a table from the Physical model to the BM&M, I then dragged the second data source (with same meta data structure) over to the "Sources" folder in the first data source table in the BM&M. On the Content tab or each data source table I have defined the WHERE clause as such, where VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") session variable is my row-wise column filter and the VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP") filter is my data source determinative:
sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.HOME_SCHOOL = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
Unfortunatley this only returns values in the BI Answers for the first drag and drop Pysical table in the BM&M layer and not the second Physical table drug into the "Sources" folder. I have also tried to create a new logical table and drag both tables into the "Sources" folder to no avail. I have experimented with the Fragmentation content on the "Content" tab of the seperate logical tables, checking the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level", which gives me an error in BI Answers that a column does not exist which really does.
What could I be missing? Advanced thanks to those who reply.
Thank you,
Kyle

Stijn,
Thank you for the article link. That was very helpful! It seems that I had a few things off as you do need the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level." checked. In my two table source columns for DATA_SOURCE I defined a literal ('086496' and '085597' for the other) in the Column Mapping tab. I pasted the following in the Fragmentation content, checking the "This source..." box on the Content tab:
eSIS.SANDBOX4_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = '086496'
And pasted the following into the WHERE clause, checking "Select distinct values" on the Content tab:
sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.SCHOOL_CODE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
This took care of my user's security, utilizing the session variables in the WHERE clause. I am now able to generate reports that only one user can access from one data source and share that same report with another user who can only see data from the other data source.
Many thanks!!!

Joining multiple tables across multiple data sources in MYSQL throws error

Hi all,
I have to join tables across multiples MYSQL databases
eg :
Table T1,T2 from DB1
Table T3 from DB2
Columns from T3 are aggregated ( dimensional column ).
Hence when i query using oracle answers ( say i have columns from T1,T2 and T3 ) , OBIEE tries to a query DB1 by having NULL for columns in T3
It uses cast(NULL as INTEGER ) for columns from T3 . But MYSQL throws an error because "cast(NULL as INTEGER )" is not supported by MYSQL.
I tried executing the query generated by OBIEE manually , if i try giving cast(NULL as SIGNED INTEGER ) , it works.
pasting the query for reference
select distinct D1.c2 as c1,
D1.c1 as c2,
cast(NULL as INTEGER ) as c3
from
(select distinct T87.title_id as c1,
T59.asin as c2
from
print_book_catalog T59 left outer join
title_authority T87 On T59.asin = T87.asin
where ( T59.asin = '0345378911' )
) D1
I am not able to find any config file to set this property ( and use signed integer instead of integer ) . Even DBFeatures.INI does not have relevant information.
Can someobody please help me solve this problem.

CFTransaction & Multiple data sources

We have the need to update to multiple data sources under
CFTransaction. We have two MSSQL databases so I was able to create
a view in one to the other and that works (unless someone knows of
a problem that could cause). But we also have a MSAccess db that
gets hit too under the same CFTransaction. CF does not allow you to
have multiple data sources under one CFTransaction. If all the
tranasction control is on the db side, why does CF care if there
are different data sources?
Thanks.

As I said in my original post, in order for a transaction to
span multiple databases, you need to do what's called "2-phase
commit" or "distributed transactions". This is not a trivial thing
to do, nor is it something that is often needed (especially in
Coldfusion, which is 99% of the time talking to a single database).
Why do you need to do 2-phase commit? and why isn't it
trivial?
"2PC is an acronym for 2 Phase Commit. This is a protocol by
which data being committed to a database is committed in two
phases. In the first phase, the transaction processor checks that
all parts of the transaction can be committed. In the second phase,
all parts of the transaction are committed. If any part of the
transaction indicates in the first phase that it cannot be
committed, the second phase does not occur. ODBC does not support
two-phase commits."
http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/twopcimplementation.html
I don't think Access supports 2-phase commit. Access isn't
really intended for the kinds of things that need 2-phase commit,
which Microsoft readily admits (hence MS SQL Server).
> My thought is that it is not allowed because CF only
remembers one data source per cftransaction therefore can only send
one commit or rollback instruction. If that's the case, it sounds
like a simple enhancement.
No, this isn't allowed because distributed transactions is a
non-trivial thing. This isn't all handled on the database side, as
you reference. If you're dealing with one datasource, yes, it does.
Once you pull in a 2nd datasource, you need something that can talk
to all databases involved (a transaction coordinator) and 1) check
to make sure everything can be committed safely then 2) commit
everything (hence 2-phase commit).
Basically, you're trying to do something that's non-trivial,
you don't understand why it's non-trivial, so you're getting
frustrated. I realize you're not a Java shop. I was simply trying
to explain to you why it was non-trivial, and a method to work
around that if you so desire.

Web Analysis : populate the same table with multiple data sources

Hi folks,
I would like to know if it is possible to populate a table with multiple data sources.
For instance, I'd like to create a table with 3 columns : Entity, Customer and AvgCostPerCust.
Entity and Customer come from one Essbase, AvgCostPerCust comes from HFM.
The objective is to get a calculated member which is Customer * AvgCostPerCust.
Any ideas ?
Once again, thanks for your help.

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
select distinct store_name from all-stores
select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query

the xml will contain something like this
<stores>
<store> </store> - for store 2
<store> </store> - for store 3
<store> </store> - for store 4
<store> </store> - for store 5
<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.

Can we combine multiple data sources in single report?
