CMS and Audit DB: DBA Tips

Anyone seen any good blogs, whitepapers, or other info on tuning the CMS and Audit DB?  I am looking for info on things a DBA should consider in keeping the DBs in tip top and good performing shape.  For example, is there ever a reason to partition tables?  When does it make sense to run statistics, if ever?  What settings would optimize thruput?  High availability considerations?  Basically, the types of things a DBA should consider in a large enterprise environment for a BOBJ system that has been running for years or will be running for years?  As a consultant, we usually set our customers up and then we rarely revisit this sort of topic.  It says something for the stability and design that it rarely needs consideration.  But it would be nice to have some valid and vetted sources of information to educate DBAs tasked with keeping these databases in top shape.  Its simple to say that you would do the same things you would do for any other database but when you consider an encrypted CMS, etc. its not necessarily clear what is safe and what is not safe in this department.  Also, what you as DBAs (if looking) do to keep an eye on things and make sure I/O is ok, you give enough threads, account for growth and increased usage, etc.  I can certainly come up with some basics but I have decided to open up a discussion to see what others are doing.

1 account is fine, we consolidate all the time from older docs that used to indicate more than 1.
The primary advantage of using multiple is that when logging on the DB, or other you can see which process is hitting it. Since only yhe CMs would hit either the CMS DB or auditing DB then it really shouldn't matter.

  • Changing CMS and Audit Repository databases from Oracle to SQl server 2008

    Hi guys,
      We have a Business Objects Dev environment which was installed with Oracle 10g database for CMS and Audit Repository.
    Our database team now decided to change the CMS and Audit databases of Dev BOE from Oracle to  SQL server 2008.
    What is the ideal way to achieve this? I'm concerned because the old DB is Oracle and the new one would be SQL server.
    Earlier, I have changed CMS database from one to another by stopping SIA , taking the backup of old DB into new and changing it in the Update Databse option. But in that case both old and new CMS databses were on SQL server 2005.
    Thanks,
    Ganga

    Denise,
      Thanks for the solution.
    We have done Windows AD and SAP integration on the Dev BOE. Will there be any issue with those after the DB change. I am guessing there won't be, but just want to confirm. Please reply.
      Also, we need to stop the old SIA and start using the new SIA after the step two is done right?

  • DB2 UDB9.1 support as CE10 CMS and Audit database

    Does any body know if DB2 UDB 9.1 is supported as CMS and Audit database for Crystal Enterprise (CE) version 10?
    I know CE 10 is not supported by BO any more, we are in the process of migrating to BOXI but mean while we have a need to upgrade DB2 UDB from 8.1 to 9.1 version.
    Also did any one encounter any issues using CE10 against DB2 UDB 9.1.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Hello Romain,
    Thank you very much for your clarifications.
    I guess there was a second question hidden behind my first question.
    Here is the whole story, we had a workshop yesterday with some Consultants specialized on BI.4 technologies. We were discussing the architecture, and more particularly which would be the most suitable Web Application Server :
    * It seems that most SAP Customers choose the bundled WAS : Tomcat 7
    * But as SAP Basis Administrators,we had pretty much no previous exposure to Tomcat/Apache Technologies
    * The Consultants told us that an increasing number of SAP Customers are choosing SAP NW AS for deployment of BOE.war and other BI webapps
    * But so are now considering installing dedicated Netweaver AS on Windows, that will be acting as BI 4.1 Application Servers. We do not plan to deploy BI 4.1 applications on any of our existing  NW AS ,as they have been installed on HP-UX ( not supported by BI.4 )
    The only problem with that is that you can not install a Netweaver AS, without its corresponding Database, so I was wondering if that New Oracle Database installed only when deploying"NW AS/BI 4 Web application Tier", could be used as the CMS/Audit Database.
    Your latest answer seems to suggest that it is definitely not a good idea.
    The thing is , that we do not want to end up with two databases per Landscape tier (DEV,QAS,PRD)
    I hope it is a bit more clear.
    Thank you

  • Backingup and Restoring CMS and Auditing Database

    We have a senario where out database server is completely down , we are unable to start services on SQL Server and it is not possible to restore them. Now we have our CMS and Auditing databases on that database. We have access to the file system from which we can take mdf and ldf files and restore the same to a new database. But CMS database cannot be restored in that way. How can i  restore the CMS to original state. We also have a backup for those databases i.e., .bak file. Please help

    Anil,
           You should be able to copy the *.MDF & *.LDF set from one SQL Server to another and mount them on another working SQL server.  Once you have validated the SQL Server database is mounted properly simple update the ODBC on the BOBJ box to point to the new server.  Make sure the ODBC name stays the same.
    You problem is more related to back and restore/recover of SQL Server.

  • Connection pooling and auditing on an oracle database

    Integration of a weblogic application with an oracle backend,
    Connection pooling, and auditing ,2 conflicting requirements ?
    Problem statement :
    We are in the process of maintaining a legacy client server application where
    the client is
    written in PowerBuilder and the backend is using an Oracle database.
    Almost all business logic is implemented in stored procedures on the database.
    When working in client/server mode ,1 PowerBuilder User has a one-to-one relation
    with
    a connection(session) on the oracle database.
    It is a requirement that the database administrator must see the real user connected
    to the database
    and NOT some kind of superuser, therefore in the PowerBuilder app each user connects
    to the database
    with his own username.(Each user is configured on the database via a seperate
    powerbuilder security app).
    For the PowerBuilder app all is fine and this app can maintain conversional state(setting
    and
    reading of global variables in oracle packages).
    The management is pushing for web-based application where we will be using bea
    weblogic appserver(J2EE based).
    We have build an business app which is web-based and accessing the same oracle
    backend app as
    the PowerBuilder app is doing.
    The first version of this web-based app is using a custom build connector(based
    on JCA standard and
    derived from a template provided by the weblogic integration installation).
    This custom build connector is essentially a combination of a custom realm in
    weblogic terms
    and a degraded connection pool , where each web session(browser) has a one-to-one
    relation
    with the back end database.
    The reason that this custom connector is combining the security functionality
    and the pooling
    functionality , is because each user must be authenticated against the oracle
    database(security requirement)
    and NOT against a LDAP server, and we are using a statefull backend(oracle packages)
    which would make it
    difficult to reuse connections.
    A problem that surfaced while doing heavy loadtesting with the custom connector,
    is that sometimes connections are closed and new ones made in the midst of a transaction.
    If you imagine a scenario where a session bean creates a business entity ,and
    the session bean
    calls 1 entity bean for the header and 1 entity bean for the detail, then the
    header and detail
    must be created in the same transaction AND with the same connection(there is
    a parent-child relationship
    between header and detail enforced on the back end database via Primary and Foreing
    Keys).
    We have not yet found why weblogic is closing the connection!
    A second problem that we are experincing with the custom connector, is the use
    of CMP(container managed persistence)
    within entity beans.
    The J2EE developers state that the use of CMP decreases the develoment time and
    thus also maintenance costs.
    We have not yet found a way to integrate a custom connector with the CMP persistence
    scheme !
    In order to solve our loadtesting and CMP persistence problems i was asked to
    come up with a solution
    which should not use a custom connector,but use standard connection pools from
    weblogic.
    To resolve the authentication problem on weblogic i could make a custom realm
    which connects to the
    backend database with the username and password, and if the connection is ok ,
    i could consider this
    user as authenticated in weblogic.
    That still leaves me with the problem of auditing and pooling.
    If i were to use a standard connection pool,then all transaction made in the oracle
    database
    would be done by a pool user or super user, a solution which will be rejected
    by our local security officer,
    because you can not see which real user made a transaction in the database.
    I could still use the connection pool and in the application , advise the application
    developers
    to set an oracle package variable with the real user, then on arrival of the request
    in the database,
    the logic could use this package variable to set the transaction user.
    There are still problems with this approach :
    - The administrator of the database can still not see who is connected , he will
    only see the superuser connection.
    - This scheme can not be used when you want to use CMP persistence , since it
    is weblogic who will generate the code
    to access the database.
    I thought i had a solution when oracle provided us with a connection pool known
    as OracleOCIConnectionPool
    where there is a connection made by a superuser, but where sessions are multiplexed
    over this physical pipe with the real user.
    I can not seem to properly integrate this OCI connectionpool into weblogic.
    When using this pool , and we are coming into a bean (session or entity bean)
    weblogic is wrapping
    this pool with it's own internal Datasource and giving me back a connection of
    the superuser, but not one for the real user,
    thus setting me with my back to the wall again.
    I would appreciate if anyone had experienced the same problem to share a possible
    solution with us
    in order to satisfy all requirements(security,auditing,CMP).
    Many Thanks

    Hi Blyau,
    As Joe has already provided some technical advice,
    I'll try to say something on engineering process level.
    While migrating an application from one technology to
    other, like client-server to n-tier in you case, customers and
    stakeholders want to push into the new system as many old
    requirements as possible. This approach is AKA "we must
    have ALL of the features of the old system". Mostly it happens
    because they don't know what they want. Ad little understanding
    of abilities of the new technology, and you will get a requirement
    like the one you have in you hands.
    I think "DBA must see real user" is one of those. For this
    type of requirements it can make sense to try to drop it,
    or to understand its nature and suggest alternatives. In this
    particular case it can be a system that logs user names,
    login and logout times.
    Blind copying of old features into an incompatible new architecture
    may endanger the whole project and can result in its failure.
    Hope this helps.

  • Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

    After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
    Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
    Problem:
    - New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions. 
    - When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi. 
    - The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install). 
    Solution:
    1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
    Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
    Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software  for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
    The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
    1 Printer Driver
    (Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
    2 Scanner Driver
    (Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
    3 Network Tool
    (Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
    Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
    4 Solution Menu
    (Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
    5 MP Navigator EX
    (Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
    6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
    (Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
    Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
    http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
    Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
    1. Choose a product category
    Multifunctional Printers
    2. Choose a product series
      Pixma
    3. Choose a product model
      Pixma MX868
    4. Choose type of document
    Downloads or FAQ
    If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
    2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
    Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB.  Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’).  This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
    3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
    After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
    Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
    DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list).  The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
    You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
    If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List.  It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
    If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

    Try this in a TEST instance before you promote it to Production.
    You will need to bounce the application services and enforce the users to sign off/on after setting those profile options.

  • History tables and audit columns?

    I need suggestions that is it a best practice to make a history table of every table and audit columns in every table as well?
    Kind Regards
    Abbas

    I agree with Christian. I'd also add that you do NOT want to implement this as a Forms solution , this should be done within the database and be transparent to the Forms. There is also standard Oracle Audit software that can be configured and used too.

  • Diff bteween trace,log and audit log

    Diff bteween trace,log and audit log....?
    Harsha

    Hi,
    Audit Log :The adapter engine uses the messaging system to log the messages at every stage, This log is called the Audit Log.
    The audit log can be viewed from the runtime work bench(RWB) to look into the details of the life cycle of the message. During our journey we will also have a look at the messages that are logged at different stages.
    Audit logs are mainly used to trace our messages. In case of any failures, we can easily trace where message stands. we can give the entries for the logs in UDFs, custom modules etc..
    Audit logs are generally gives us the sequence of the steps from where the message is picked up with file name and path and how the message is sent to the I.E pipeline..it also shows the status of the message like DLNG,DLVD like that...generally we look into the audit logs if there are any errors in message processing...
    It gives the complete log of your message.
    Go to RWB --> Component Monitoring --> Adapter Engine --> Communication channel Monitoring --> Select the Communicatin channel --> click on use filter --> then click on the Message Id.
    Trace Log:
    Log file:
    A log file contains generally intelligible information for system administrators. The information is sorted by categories and is used for system monitoring. Problem sources or critical information about the status of the system are logged in this file. If error messages occur, you can determine the software component that has caused the error using the location. If the log message does not provide enough details to eliminate the problem, you can find more detailed information about the error in the trace file.
    The log file is located in the file system under
    "/usr/sap/SID/instance/j2ee/cluster/server[N]/log/applications.[n].log" for every N server node.
    Access the file with the log viewer service of the J2EE visual administrator or with the standalone log viewer.
    Trace file:
    A trace file contains detailed information for developers. This information can be very cryptic and extensive. It is sorted by location, which means by software packages in the Java environment, for example, "com.sap.aii.af". The trace file is used to analyze runtime errors. By setting a specific trace level for specific locations, you can analyze the behavior of individual code segments on class and method level. The file should be analyzed by SAP developers or experienced administrators.
    The trace file is located in the file system under
    "/usr/sap/SID/instance/j2ee/cluster/server[N]/log/defaultTrace.[x].trc" for each N server node.
    Access the file with the log viewer service of the J2EE visual administrator or with the standalone log viewer.
    Thanks

  • Can Adobe Premiere and Audition "Royalty Free" music files be used for "commercial" projects?

    I apologize for not being able to find this answer on my own but can anybody please answer this:  Can Adobe Premiere and Audition "Royalty Free" music files be used for "commercial" projects?

    SusieBird
    Are you using any version of Premiere Elements? Or, is it that you are really asking about some version of Premiere Pro and Audition?
    If the latter, please refer to
    Premiere Pro
    Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC
    In the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum in which your thread has been posted, it has always been written by others (Bill Hunt, Steve Grisetti) that
    Premiere Elements users can use Premiere Elements assets for commercial projects. I do not use Audition, so I cannot speak to the Audition situation.
    We are a user to user forum here and not Adobe. The ultimate answers on this would be from Adobe itself to avoid what is written and what is written between
    the lines.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 and Audition CS6 not playing any media

I'm on a late 2011 Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with 16gb RAM and an SSD. I've already completely uninstalled and reinstalled both application multiple times to try to get this working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
