Converting from Oracle Express Objects to Standard Form

Hi,
I have create an EIF file from our Oracle Express database, then I have created an Analytic Workspace and imported the EIF file. After this I identify the Time dimensions. But when I want to identify the hierarchie dimension of each time dimension, it brings an Error: "ORA-34492: Analytic Workspace Object Jan96 does not exists", but when I look in the OX there exists the object. Where is the problem?
Thanks Diana

Did you run the conversion program listed in the documentation:
If your Express database contains Oracle Express Objects metadata (that is, it was created by Oracle Express Administrator), then you can use a conversion program named CREATE_DB_STDFORM. Without Oracle Express Objects metadata, CREATE_DB_STDFORM cannot generate sufficient standard form metadata for the OLAP tools to work.
This should generate the required metadata but you will not to create some additional attributes to correctly manage time as the conversion utility does not do everything for you:
If you want to perform time-based analysis on your data, you must identify all time dimensions and populate end date and time span attributes before using CREATE_DB_STDFORM. A sample program is provided in this appendix:
Create date and time span attributes for each dimension.
DEFINE TIME_TIME_SPAN VARIABLE INTEGER <timedim hierdim>
PROPERTY 'USERDATA' FALSE
DEFINE TIME_END_DATE VARIABLE DATE <timedim hierdim>
PROPERTY 'USERDATA' FALSE
Populate the end date and time span attributes, as described in "Populating Time Attributes".
Set properties on the Time dimension:
CONSIDER timedim
PROPERTY 'END_DATE' attribute_name
PROPERTY 'TIME_SPAN' attribute_name
The END_DATE and TIME_SPAN values (attribute_name) identify the names of the variables that you just created.
Run the conversion tool with a command like this:
CALL CREATE_DB_STDFORM('aw')
Refer to the syntax description in "CREATE_DB_STDFORM Syntax". After the conversion tool completes successfully, save the changes:
UPDATE
COMMIT
Hope this helps

Migration of application from Oracle Express 6.3.4 to Essbase 9

I got a requirement to migrate an application from Oracle Express to Essbase.Can any one help me if there is any documentation for migration or else do I have to rebuild a new application in Essbase with the same functionality as in Oracle Express.
Rgrds,
G.K

As far as I am aware there is no migration tool to convert to essbase and you will have to build a new application in essbase.
On a side note this campaign from Oracle back in 1998 amuses me - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4VEEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA17&ots=Amg-YO3m5X&pg=PA17#v=onepage&q&f=false
The line "Oracle Express Server slaughtered Arbor Essbase in both load and calculation times and query times" is a classic.
I wonder if Oracle feel the same way now :)

Convert from oracle to access

Dear all,
Is there any tool to convert from oracle to access?
Thanks for advance !
chara

I will describe two ways here.
1) By toad
Toad outputs the result in a grid. You can save it as csv file and then can import in access database.
2) By sql* plus spooling
SQL> set heading off
SQL> spool dept.txt
SQL> select 'Dept Number,Dept Name,Location' from dual
2 union all
3 select deptno||','||dname||','||loc from dept;
SQL> spool off
Now you got dept.txt as csv file. Import this file in access database.

Send mail with rotating info from oracle express

Hi all,
Today someone asked me if it is possible to send a mail from oracle express(so far no problem)
to all users(also no problem), with rotating advertisements on the side and bottom of the mail.
Anybody any idea how to approach this.
thanx,
Pim

You mean to add in a gif file or something of that nature? It would be an animated gif, but it is possible to do that.
Thank you,

Convert from Oracle to Paradox

How is the best way to convert an Oracle 8.1.7 database to Paradox 7 db ?
Are there any tool available that will be able to do this ?
I know I can create scripts to create the tables and import the data. But because the datatypes is not similiar, it will not be that straightforward.
Regards
Karen

I can also convert to DBase - if anybody have a solution for that .....

Convert from Oracle Freeware to Licensed version

Good day,
We have a development database on Oracle9i and our Dev Team wants us (urgently) to migrate it to Oracle10g R2. We are planning to use the OTN License version while we are waiting for the license.
My question is, is their a way/shortcut to convert the OTN License version to a licensed version without having to remigrate the database? Any info will be appreciated. Thank you.

Good day,
We have a development database on Oracle9i and our
Dev Team wants us (urgently) to migrate it to
Oracle10g R2. We are planning to use the OTN License
version while we are waiting for the license. Apparently your legal department has not haad a chance to see the Oracle License agreement. The Oracle9i license you used was for Prototype and evaluation, not for Development.
My question is, is their a way/shortcut to convert
the OTN License version to a licensed version without
having to remigrate the database? Any info will be
appreciated. Thank you.It's exactly the same software. The Oracle License is simply a 'permission to use the software under certain circumstances'. There is absolutely no change in what you are doing.
Well, not quite .... when you license the software properly for development and production, you have nthe opportunity to purchase support. So the big change is that you will be able to get and apply patches.

Runnig forms in oracle 10g after migrating them from oracle 6i

Guyz ....i have developed forms in oracle 6i and when i presented them to the my manager he says that he wants them to be web based.....arghhhh.!!!!!! shud have told me at the beginning itself....anyways i downloaded the forms 10g from oracle website and migrates my forms from 6i to 10g ....
1.The forms are getting compiled and i can run them on my laptop.. i wanna noe whats the procedure to run them on other system .....the port number is 8889
I mean running them on a web on some other LP or system.???
2.And my 2nd problem is that ...The records are not being saved in 10g as in 6i. I created the forms in 6i using the data block wizard and set the block accordingly as told by u people in this forum

Look at the existing formsweb.cfg configuration file located in your <DEVSUITE_HOME>/forms/server folder. It allows you to create different sections to start your Forms applications.
For instance, if you create a application_1 section, give this name in your URL.

Creating Database Standard Form Analytic Workspaces

Just been looking through the new 9.2.0.4.1 documentation and came across the following. Thought it might be useful.
The 9.2.0.4.1 release of Oracle OLAP introduces a new concept known as �Database Standard Form� Analytic Workspaces. This is a way of constructing analytic workspaces in a standard way such that they can be used by tools such as the Analytic Workspace Manager, the Java OLAP API, and BI Beans.
When analytic workspaces are created from a relational star-schema using the Analytic Workspace Manager, it automatically creates the analytic workspace in standard form as part of the migration process. However, if you�re migrating an Express database to Oracle OLAP, the migrated database has to be processed to be in standard form before it is usable by any of the new Oracle OLAP GUI tools.
If you create an analytic workspace using PL/SQL or the OLAP Worksheet, of course you can create dimensions, variables, relations and so on in any form, just as you can create table structures, joins, views and columns in any form in a relational database. However, the database standard form requirement stipulates that;
Certain objects and properties need to be found in the analytic workspace, that are used by tools such as the Analytic Workspace Manager to perform tasks such as aggregation, data loads, and OLAP API enablement. OLAP DML views (beginning with AW$) need to created in the analytic workspace, to provide metadata and to identify relationships between objects in the analytic workspace. Objects need to be registered in the OLAP Catalog, and these registrations have to be kept in sync so that the OLAP tools are aware of changes to the base objects. Data that is migrated in to an analytic workspace, from a relational star-schema using the Analytic Workspace Manager, is already in database standard form and no further work is needed. However, some work is needed to get migrated Express databases into standard form, and Oracle have provided a utility with the 9.2.0.4.1 release of Oracle OLAP to help accomplish this.
This utility, known as CREATE_DB_STDFORM, is an OLAP DML program that takes existing Oracle Express Objects metadata in a migrated Express database, and uses this to create the additional metadata required to make the analytic workspace �database standard form�.
Once CREATE_DB_STDFORM has been used to create this additional metadata, it can also be used to import data into the workspace either from flat files, or from Oracle tables and views. If you don�t have Express Objects metadata in the Express database, CREATE_DB_STDFORM doesn�t work, and you�ll have to use Oracle Warehouse Builder 9.2 to initially create a relational star-schema that equates to the Express database, then use the OLAP Bridge within OWB to export the data into a database standard form analytic workspace.
CREATE_DB_STDFORM, once run, allows the migrated Express database to be accessed via BI Beans straight afterwards, as it creates all the OLAP Catalog entries required for the OLAP API. If the Express database only contains data at the lowest level (i.e. it hasn�t been rolled up), aggregation wizards in the Analytic Workspace Manager can be used to summarise the data as required.
CREATE_DB_STDFORM doesn�t do everything, however. First of all, you need to have created Oracle Express Objects metadata within the Express database, which is an additional step and not always appropriate for all systems. In addition, you need to create time dimensions in a particular way, which may require the data model to be adjusted to meet this requirement. Lastly, any Express language programs within the Express database may need to be adjusted to remove or change commands that have changed or become obsolete.
The new document, �Oracle OLAP Application Developers Guide Release 9.2.0.4.1�, available on metalink under note 251352.1, details how database standard form works, has code examples, and walks through the migration of the XADEMO Express database to an analytic workspace using database standard form.

In your message, you wrote "Certain objects and properties need to be found ... aware of changes to base objects". A large bit is represented by "...". Question is whether I have any commands or package functions that I can use to set up all the proper objects and relationships to make it have database standard form, short of regressing to a ROLAP star schema and usnig the AWM wizard. I have what appears to be working MOLAP activity, all created at the OLAP worksheet prompt, and loaded with DML program. Do I really have to put that all aside and start with a star schema? No way to put my AW in standard form for OLAP API without this?

How to Copy Standard form in Smartforms?

Hi Experts,
can anyone tell how to copy a standard form in Smartforms.
Thanks in advance

Hi Abdul,
We have to copy them to '800'. (this is your own company define client no)
All Standard Scripts and their respective print programs are listed in table 'TNAPR'.
Ex: FORM MEDRUCK has the Driver Program SAPFM06P.
NOTE: Never make any changes to the Standard Driver Programs
STEP 1.
Goto Transaction Code <SE71> and
select from Menu UTILITIES ->Copy from Client.
Enter the Standard Form Name, It source Client 000 and the target Form Name that you want it to be saved as on your client.
Say you are naming it as zmedruck1.
Click on EXECUTE.
STEP 2.
Converting form to English.
Open zmedruck1 in <SE71> With language DE.
Then goto UTILITIES -> Convert Original Language from DE to EN.
Then you can modify the layout for example, chaging the logo, or changing the headers, or adding any new code to do some calculation etc.,
SAVE THE CHANGES AND ACTIVATE.
Then select from the menu FORM -> CHECK -> TEXT.
SELECT your driver program name from the list adn click on COPY.
If you don't see the program name in the list then click on
'APPEND PRINT PROGRAM' and add your program name and then select it from the list and click on COPY.
STEP 3: Assigning our form to the standard print program.
Start Tr.Code <NACE>.
In our present case since we are working on 'Purchase order' we have to select EF and click on the button Output Types.
Then on Right hand side, scroll down and select NEU - New P O Printout.
(This may change for different programs).
Then Double click on Processing Routines on Left hand side.
Change from Display -> Change Mode.
Give your form name (zmedruck1) for printoutput and SAVE.
STEP 4:
Start Tr.Code <ME22N> since you are working on Purchase order and click on print Preview to make sure your layout etc., changes are OK. If not again you have to make the changes accordingly.
If every thing looks ok then you can print your form.
Regards,
Sathish:)

How can I use an Express database build with RAA in Express Objects???

Hello, everybody!
I have installed Express Server and Client on my computer. I've build an Express database With Relational Access Manager mapping data from an Oracle database.
Now I want to use this express database in Oracle Express Objects.
I understand that an express database build with understand can be used by defining a connection to Express Server and using the option Relational Access Manager Connection.
But, I didn't understand the settings of this option. I open the settings window and there it is :
- the MASTER DATABASE Box where I have to write the name of the CUBE from the express database build with understand?
- the RDC File Box : what do I have to write here? I've read the HELP but I didn't understood. There is no file with the RDC extension in my computer.
Thank you for your help!
Anca.
[email protected]

you can extend it, very easly, with an Airport Express.
once you connect the AExpress, on the App Airport Utility, in Wireless tab choose to "Extent a Network", you will be able to select your Network enter your Network Password and it is done
i have 2 AExpress to extend my signal and also to Airplay to Remote Speakers and works perfectly
good luck
