Connection to Oracle BI server using BRIO

Hi,
I read in the administrator manual that it's possible to connect to Oracle BI Server with third-party tools over ODBC. The instructions say to configure a DSN on the remote machine using the Oracle BI Server driver. Does this mean that I need to install this driver or perhaps a client this driver is packaged with in order to complete this connection?
Is there some other way to connect to Oracle BI server using Brio?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you!
Some background:
We have Oracle BIEE 101320 installed with connections established to our warehouse. We have Oracle Answers (Siebel Analytics) configured and have dashboards running off the BI server.
There are a lot of folks here who use Brio. We'd like to get them to connect to the Oracle BI server rather than to the data warehouse.

Hi
We are a Hyperion partner and have just started looking at Oracle BI Enterprise Edition. When I installed it it automatically creates an ODBC DSN on the server called AnalyticsWeb. I am working directly on the server and I can then connect using Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio using an oce which points to the DSN. So Brio Explorer/Designer would be the same. Working on a separate client machine I guess you would need a DSN on that machine. Not sure you would do this but if you do a custom install on the client of the client tools, you should see Oracle BI Server as a data source.
BUT...
I imported the Hyperion Sample database into the Oracle metadata repository using the Admin tool, and then connect to it using Hyperion IR studio. While I can see the tables in the catalog, when I drag them into the Datamodel, they just disappear. I would be interested to see what you get.

Unable to connect to Oracle 11g server using instantclient_11_1 in AIX

Hi,
I downloaded instantclient-basic-11.1.0.7.0-aix-ppc64.zip from oracle site and used the same for connection to 11g server for testing my application on AIX 5.3 machine. I am also using easysoft driver for the connection. But I am uhnable to connect to Oracle 11g server from AIX 5.3 using instantclient_11_1 client
libraries. I get the error "Could not load oracle libraries". Error is as below:
WARNING: Setup was unable to contact your ORACLE
WARNING: server by using the connection options
WARNING: you specified.
WARNING: Error connecting to DB: -1
WARNING: HY000: [unixODBC][Easysoft][Oracle]Could not load oracle libraries
But I could connect to the same server from AIX 5.3 machine using instantclient_10_2 libraries and same eaysoft drivers successfully.
Looks like there is issue with connecting with instantclient_11_1 client libraries from AIX 5.3. I also tried with using 11.1.0.6.0. Same issue is observed.
Did anybody else face similar issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Prema S
Edited by: user6404935 on Jan 27, 2010 9:47 PM

I you find nobody who has the same problem, here are some hints:
- Try to connect using "sqlplus" from the instant client. If that fails, there is probably a problem with your setup.
- Look if the Easysoft driver supports Oracle 11.1 as client.
Yours,

Why, in an Oracle forum, are you asking a question about a Quest product connecting to a Microsoft product?
How does this relate to the Oracle Database?

Error creating connection to Oracle Application Server 10g(10.1.3)

Hey
Im using Oracle JDeveloper 10g and when i tried to create a new connection to Oracle App Server 10.1.3 and test it, I received the following error message
Error while parsing OPMN dump in XML format: XML Parse Exception: tag=[null] Ran out of data, content []
I have no idea what this means and any help on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you
Arjhun

OK, in short:
Cause: Wrong OPMN request port used to configure the connection (third step of "Create Application Server Connection" wizard). You might have kept the default (6003) but your OPMN is configured with different request port.
Solution: Check $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml file and look for entry like this:
<port local="6140" remote="6240" request="6040" />
Create the connection using OPMN request port that is set in opmn.xml file.
Thanks

Hi All,
Finlly got rid of the problem by incuding ' loaderRef="oracle.tasks.loader" ' in my taskdef tag.
Earlier it was

Hi, Kelly
Thanks for your kind response.
The X-server should work, when I export DISPLY to a remote X-server.
How about ImageServlet.. It seems that the ImageServlet has more advantages than X-server or XVBF
I tried to configure OC4J using ImageServlet follow UIX developer's guide. But I was not able to force OC4J to use ImageSevlet. But OC4J is stll try to find X-sever..
I modified the web.xml file for the sample application I deployed.
Is this a right configuration? What is the different
<servlet>^M
<servlet-name>uix</servlet-name>^M
<servlet-class>oracle.cabo.servlet.UIXServlet</servlet-class>^M
<init-param>^M
<servlet-name>uix</servlet-name>^M
<servlet-class>oracle.cabo.image.servlet.ImageServlet</servlet-class>^M

I have successfully installed oracle db client 10g release 2 on my winXP. But when I tried to use Net Congiguration Assistance to connect to oracle db server. I do not know what is the "service name" and listening "host" I supporse to enter. Where can I get the names?
PLEASE HELP! THANKS!

machine name or IP = machine name or IP address of the database server

JDeveloper cannot connect to Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.x

Hi, I am trying to create a connection from JDeveloper (on my desktop) to my oracle application server (10.1.3.x, on another machine). The JDeveloper version is 10.1.3.1.0.
In step 1, I chose the connection type: "Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3".
In Step 3, I chose "connect to group". I tried different host names and "OC4J Component/group name" but always got the following error msg:
Error getting Cluster Config Set URLs for uri: deployer:cluster:opmn://hostname:6003/OC4J:default_group.
I also tried to run JDeveloper from the same machine as my AS installed. The host name I used is "localhost" and the group name is "default_group" and the connection is successful. So it seems to me that my AS configuration is correct.
May I ask what should be the correct "host name" and "group name" if I want to connect from a "remote" JDeveloper? And in what configuration file can I find such info.?
Thanks a lot.

hi user575786
Would you mind sharing some more details about the changes you had to make to get it working or about the nature of the "misconfiguration" you mention?
Maybe you have some pointers to documentation that helped you solve this?

thanks for answer

If you have installed the Oracle AS 10.1.3 using an Apache in front the default port is 7777 as far as I know.
You wrote that the main page is accessible, that's why I would suspect that you might have a problem with your hostname. Are you accessing the mainpage via the full qualified hostname or via ip?
Please ensure that you can reach the server using the full qualified hostname!
If you are not sure about it, add an entry to your local hosts-file.
Please tell us if this was your problem!

If you logon to the console with a user, only that user is permitted to "send" the display to the screen. If you do an "su - ora<sid>" that user must be enable to do so too.
- logon as root
- open a terminal windows (a new one)
- execute "xhost +"
- use another terminal window
- execute "su - ora<sid>"
- execute "setenv DISPLAY <ip>:<port>"
- then execute ./RUNINSTALLER in the SAP subdirectory of Disk1 (NOT runInstaller)
