Create Catalog using OEM

Hi,
I am having a relational database. I have created a schema only with views based on the underlying tables. Now, I want to create the OLAP catalog using the views.
I do not know how to do this using OEM. If anyone have done this earlier and provide me that information that will be of great help.
thanks,
Saumen.

yes Saumen
OLAP metadata represents a star or snowflake schema as a logical cube consisting of measures, dimensions, levels, hierarchies, and attributes.
OLAP Catalog consists of tables that instantiate the logical model and APIs for updating and viewing the model tables. The write APIs are PL/SQL procedures. The read APIs are relational views
The OLAP feature within Oracle Enterprise Manager is a graphical tool for manipulating some of the OLAP Catalog APIs. You can use Enterprise Manager to create and modify OLAP metadata as long as the source data is stored in a star or snowflake schema
To create a dimension:
Navigate to the Database home page and choose Administration.
On the Database Administration page, choose Dimensions or OLAP Dimensions.
On the Dimensions page, click Create.
On the General page of the dimension property sheet, specify a name, schema, and (OLAP) type for the dimension. The type is Time for time dimensions and Normal for all other dimensions.
On the Levels page, click Add to define each level of the dimension. Levels are containers for the members of the dimension. Each level maps to one or more columns. Each dimension must have at least one level.
On the Hierarchies page, click Add to define a set of parent-child relationships between the levels of the dimension. Dimensions may have one or more hierarchies.
On the Attributes page, define the attributes that hold descriptive information about levels of the dimension. Each attribute maps to a column. By default, each OLAP dimension has Long Description and Short Description attributes for each level. Time dimensions have additional default attributes for End Date and Time Span. Specify columns for each of the default attributes. Click Add to define additional attributes.
On the OLAP Options page, provide OLAP-specific labels and descriptions for the dimension.
If the dimension maps to a snowflake schema, use the Join Keys page to define the join keys between levels that are mapped to columns in different tables.
When you have fully specified the dimension, click OK.

Trying to register 10.2.0.3 db in Rec Catalog using OEM, getting errors

Hi all,
I didn't know whether to post this here in the RMAN forum or in the OEM Grid Control forum, but the issue is more related to RMAN, so I'll post it here, and hope someone can help me out!
I have a new 10.2.0.3 database that I am getting configured to manage using OEM Grid Control. Through the OEM interface, I am trying to register this database with my recovery catalog - the recovery catalog is version 10.02.00.02. When I try to register this new db with the recovery catalog, I am getting this lengthy collection of errors:

It sounds like it has something to do with the fact that my recovery catalog database is not at a current version?? In the OEM tool, I went to the page that lists the Recovery Catalog, and tried hitting the Update button, and it succeeded, but the Recovery Catalog version did not change, it is still at 10.02.00.02.
Can anyone give me some assistance on this one?
Thanks!

Hi,
please check with

It has been a long time that I have seen 9i on windows, but if recall that right, you must additionally give the OS user the right "logon as batch job".

Access MDM Catalog used Portal

Hello guy´s
I have installed SRM 5.0, MDM Catalog 5.5 and Portal 7.0.
I need to create catalog using the Portal, because the Frontend the MDM catalog is very difficult for user.
Is this possible in the Portal? Is there any Business Package what create IVIEWS for this?
Thanks
Claudio Argolo

Hi Claudio,
There is a complete package for creating Portal iViews on top of an MDM catalog. These packages (BP MDM APPLICATION 5.5, and BP MDM TECHNOLOGY 5.5) can be downloaded from the SAP Service Marketplace, assuming you have the appropriate authorisation.
The documentation for the creation and use of MDM iViews can be found <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/5e/48a04270600d31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">here</a>.

From what I've read in this forum and in others is
that the problem is often related to the owner/group
permissions associated with the bin/nmo and bin/nmb
files. However I've tried the posted solutions by
changing the owner/permissions as suggested, but this
does not help. I get the same error regardless if the

I am not sure which "posted solutions" you had, but this is related to not running root.sh which must be run against the Agent Home.
1. Stop the Agent (emctl stop agent) while connected to the OS as Oracle user (normally oracle) that installed Grid Control
2. Connect to the OS as root and run root.sh from Agent ORACLE_HOME (if you do not have root access, your System Admin can do it)
3. Start the Agent (emctl start agent) while connected to the OS as Oracle user

Creating a Physical Standby Database using OEM GC

This Paper is about the creation of a physical Stanby Database using OEM GC.

Create Image Catalog using Bridge?

I have a collection of ClipArt CD's, definietly over a thousand images in total. I'd like to create a catalog of these images, so there would be ~20 per page (I guess thumbnails), along with the file name, and the CD it came from. I suppose each CD would have it's own set of pages (E.g. header of page = "CD 23").
Is there any way I can create such a catalog using Adobe Bridge, or maybe a different Adobe product? If not, would there be any other products (ideally freeware) that would do this?

Ouch. I only have the Cs3 Production Premium package. But I have some interest in getting the 'all CS3 products ever' package, whatever it was called. Good to know it's possible w/ InDesign. Thanks for the headsup Bob.

Anyone using OEM for scheduling backups?

I'd like to see a poll for the number of users using OEM for taking database backups. Had some interesting conversations with some colleagues via social media and it seems like some DBAs don't trust OEM for their backups even though the feature works IMO.
Are you using OEM to do backups?
Edited by: DBA on May 3, 2012 1:02 PM

I have 91 scheduled recurring backup jobs running through OEM 12c BP1. They work quite well. I've only noticed a few problems and nitpicks:
1) Occasionally, for unknown reasons, a backup job against a newly-added database target will fail stating that the backup cannot be run since the database is closed. The database is not closed, it's up and running fine. Changing the backup job to run using SYS as SYSDBA credentials resolves this problem.
2) Identification of failed backups is not as customizable as I would like. For example, if I have a full "backup database plus archivelog" running, and during the course of that backup an archivelog backup runs and deletes archived logs, OEM will report that the backup job has failed since RMAN throws an error about not being able to backup an archivelog it expected to find. I dealt with this by adding SKIP INACCESSIBLE to the backup statement. I'm not totally comfortable about that but I monitor for offline datafiles so I consider this only a minimal risk. Our custom backup scripts used to catch this warning and ignore it.
3) It's really annoying that, after creating a backup job through the target Availability -> Schedule Backup tool, I cannot then run a 'Create Like' against that backup job to create a nearly identical one against a different database target. You have to schedule each of them from the Schedule Backup tool. Clicky clicky clicky clicky.
4) A backup job created through the 'Schedule Backup' tool has a job type of 'Database Backup', therefore when the job fails a high-availability incident is created, so you can configure incident rules to receive notification of this event. This is good. Unfortunately a backup job created from the Jobs page has a job type of 'RMAN Script' does NOT create an incident on job failure out of the box. I've had difficulty configuring incident rules to catch failures for RMAN Script job types. This is not good.
5) The repeating schedule options for jobs are limited compared even to something like cron. I can schedule a job for a day of the week, or a day of the month, but cannot easily schedule a job for "the first Tuesday of each month". This can be worked around.
6) After creating and submitting a backup job through the Schedule Backup tool, you cannot edit the RMAN script without recreating the job. You can only edit the RMAN script before submitting the job. I deal with this by having my backups run stored scripts in the recovery catalog, and make the changes there if I need to change something.
7) It is very annoying that if I 'stop' a repeating job (instead of suspend), there is no way to resume that job. It has to be recreated. This is my own user error -- I just don't click the stop button. Not OEM's fault but I'd rather not even have that button.
8) No ability to sequence jobs. You can sequence steps within a job, but then the entire job succeeds or fails as a unit. If you want to back up database A then immediately back up database B afterwards, you have to create a multi-task job. The multi-task job has the same problem as item #4 above such that it does not create a "backup failed" incident when the backup fails.
Even with all of these gripes, I am quite pleased with the backups I have running through OEM.

How to use OEM to run a script against many targets and send result by emai

Is there a way to use OEM to query the RMAN backup against many targets (databases) and have all the results send to you by a single email?
The script is :
SELECT a.instance_name, b.session_key, b.session_recid, b.session_stamp, b.command_id,
b.status, b.start_time, b.time_taken_display, b.input_type,
b.output_device_type, b.input_bytes_display, b.output_bytes_display,
b.output_bytes_per_sec_display
FROM
v$instance a, V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS b WHERE ( b.start_time > (SYSDATE - 30) ) order
by b.start_time
Thanks.

Are you using a RMAN catalog? If not, you can used UDM's (this will be messy w/o a RMAN catalog) for what you want to do.
What I started out doing was....
You can create a UDM and push that UDM out to the targets you want. The problem with UDM's, is you can only pull 1 or 2values. I started down this same path and wrote a sql to concatenate the data into one value, such as
SELECT '|'||input_type||'|'||status||'|'||start_time||'|'||end_time||'|'||ROUND(elapsed_seconds,2)||'|'||time_taken_display||'|'
FROM v$rman_backup_job_details
WHERE (INPUT_TYPE, START_TIME)
IN
( SELECT input_type, MAX(START_TIME)
FROM v$rman_backup_job_details
GROUP BY INPUT_TYPE
AND INPUT_TYPE = 'DB FULL';
Do not put any warning/critical thresholds in the UDM and just let OEM Agent gather the data and pull it back into the SYSMAN repository.
You can then look at this view, SYSMAN. MGMT$METRIC_DETAILS to find the correct SQL to pull out the data you need. This view is made up of a 4 way union between 4 sql's. Once you find the SQL you need, then you can pull this information out and into a custom table of your own.
Once you have data into another table, you will then have to extract the concatenated string out, parse it out and report on it. This is where I stopped and said there has to be a better way.
I then thought about it and the RMAN catalog has all this, assuming you are using a RMAN Catalog.
I wrote a piece of dynamic sql to loop through the rman catalog to pull this out into a historical table and store the data. Then I can report on it from there. If you have a RMAN catalog, this works much better.
I also use UDM's to use OEM as a data extract tool to pull the number of archivelogs and bytes my databases create on an hourly basis. I pull 2 values, bytes and # of logs. So this works well with UDM's, don't have to concatenate a bunch of values and then parse it back out again.
I push this UDM to all databases, and have it run hourly. Then daily, I extract this information into a custom table and then use analytic functions to determine how much space is needed on the db servers for archivelogs for a 24 hour time frame. This helps with sizing our log destinations and gives us legitimate reports for Storage teams.
I can also build reports on how many archive logs are generated on a daily, weekly, monthly basis per database. Good for analysis and charge back methods.

How can I move a folder to another catalog using LR 3

I have imported a large amount of folder into cat#1, but now i have decided to create cat#2. I have tried to move the "folders" and not "catalog" using the following workflow:
1- Opening cat #1, make selection of folder to be moved
2- Go to file and select "Export as a cat".
3- Opened cat #2, go to File and select "Import catalog"
4- Importing window shows the entire list of folders I had imported previously (lots of them). They all are checked. I can see the path, but only see the location of the folders, but I can't read the name of the files. I am able to see the total number on each folder
5- I have not even considering "synchronizing" the folder
Oh another thing, when I go to cat#1 and locate the folder I "exported as a catalog". The folder still shows on cat#1, but I don't see it on cat#2. I guess because I didn't complete the task.
I find it very tedious process trying to locate the file. And this is where I'm stuck
I have searched so many ways to find a workflow that would make sense, but I tend to get nothing but responses about how to move a "catalog". I have been thinking doing the following:
1- Remove the folder from cat#1
2- Open cat#2 and import the same folder, but this again seems to redundant, boring and a lot of clicking. Any suggestions.

Hm... Well, for everyone else the reply link is still on the website, and works fine soo....
Tell me about it. I went to catalog #2 and I didn't see the exported
catalog. Then I went back to catalog #1 and I still can see the entire
folder that I had selected to Export. I double checked it the process and it
seemed ok, but apparently there's something missing to complete the export
You seem under the impression that exporting as a catalog removes the images from the first catalog. This is not true. As I said earlier, it makes a copy for you. So of course, when you go back into catalog1, all of your images/collections/etc, are still there. As they should be.
So, you say you didn't see anything in your exported catalog? Are you sure you are opening the same catalog you just exported, or have you opened a new blank one that you created, accidentally or not? That would be my guess.
I think you should start over, and very carefully take it one step at a time.
Dj has suggested not using include negatives, and I can see where that might be useful. However, if you do that, you will end up having images from two different catalogs in the same folder. This will cause problems if you ever use the "sync folder" option, as it will attempt to load all images in that folder into your current catalog. Which means you could easilly end up with all your images in both catalogs. Messy. So to avoid this, use a new place instead. You can also avoid having to do the "import to catalog" step by exporting the negatives at the same time. Don't worry about exporting previews, though.
First, find a new place (external disk, whatever) to create a new catalog in. Do _not_ create the new catalog your self! Make sure you are sending everything to a new place!
Now, go into catalog1, and select all of the images you want to export. They have to be selected, or nothing happens, and you'll just get a blank catalog.
Now, export as catalog those images into the new location, and make sure you are copying the negatives too! Double check before you hit go!
Now, using LR, open that new catalog; you can either double click on the new one, or browse to open it. Either way. Verify that your images are in the new place and everything looks good. You can see in the Folders tab on the left panel to make sure the images are in the right place in the new folder.
At this point, you should have 2 and a half catalogs; your new catalog with only the images you exported, and the old catalog, with all of your images.
Now, you have a couple of choices. But before you do either of them, make sure you backup your system, including all of the images in the original catalog. If you've messed up making the new catalog (you should be able to tell!) then you want to make sure your original catalog can be restored.
Open your original catalog again, and now remove all of the images you exported. You will need to use the "remove from disk" option, as they will stay in the folders if you don't. This would cause the above problem with "sync folder", and of course, use double the disk space.
You can obviuosly see why I said to back everything up first; if you messed up the export by not including the negatives, you could easilly delete your originals, and not have them _anywhere_, in which case you would have to restore from back up and try again.
You now have two separate catalogs.
Remember, backup everything first, and good luck!
Cheers!

Problem in assigning Infoobjects to Catalog using BAPI_IBOJ_CHANGE

Hi Gurus,
I am creating infoobjects using BAPI_IOBJ_CREATE and assigning the created infoobjects to a catalog using BAPI_IOBJ_CHANGE.
But, while assign the info objects to a catalog, if the catalog already contains infoobjects they get unassigned, and the data they contained is lost.
Is it possible to assign the infoobjects to a infoobject catalog without affecting the already existing infoobjects in that catalog?
If yes, please mention how it can be done.
I will definitely award points.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Akshay.

Hi Dinesh,
Can we assign infoobjects to a catalog using the BAPI_IOBC_CHANGE you have mentioned?
My problem is adding new infoobjects to a catalog without affecting the already existing infoobjects that exist in the catalog.
Thanks for your reply.

How to change an existing line item in CCM catalog using CSV file?

Dear All,
We are using SRM5.0 and CCM 2.0
We have uploaded the material and service master to CCM as supplier catalog from R/3.
The initial Upload was doen successfully.
My query is how to reflect the delta changes in CCM happening in R/3?
If I can generate a CSV file with all those items wich has been changed (Changes can be in description, Plant, status etc) and upload the same file in CCM, will it update the existing line in CCM or create a new line item?
How do i update an existing line item in CCM catalog using a CSV file?
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi Atul,
I am using CCM 2.0 and SRM 5.0 (EBP5.5).
We are not using XI, so i guess we cant use the program "/ccm/file_upload".
we have migrated the product master data from R/3.
We have developed a report which takes product category as input and gives out flat file in csv format containg all the items in that prod category.
Then we upload the file in CCM by logging thro the brpwser.
Similarly, i can develop another program which will give me a CSV file foll all those items changed in R/3 in a day.
Then we can upload that file in CCM.
But i have doubt if it will update the existing items in catalog.
Hope I could make myself clear.
Thanks
Abhishek

Reg creating Catalog Views through R/3

Hi Guys,
I am working on an internet sales application with backend as SAP R/3 ECC 6.0. We are not supposed to use CRM. Can someone tell me how to create them?
I have to create Catalog Views. I tried to acess the SAP Note 998453 and 998458, but i am getting the message "The requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally only". Can someone tell me how to access these notes.
I have also gone through the SAP Notes : 696095, 677319, 677320 but couldn't find much help.
What is a BP or a target group?
I have gone through the the following sdn link also but couln't find much help.
Creating Catalog Views
Can someone provide me the step by step process.
Any kind of help will be deeply appreciated. Please do reply.
Thanks,
Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim,
I understand your requirement is slightly different than ours.
Based on the customer type (let's say: gold and silver) the catalog view should be displayed, right?
The question is: how do you match a material with the customer type? Let's say you have 20 materials in the catalog, how do you know what materials can be displayed, and what not? In order to do so, you will need to put a "label" on every material.
The option we choose for this is using attributes.
trx. CT04 - define the attributes (1 attribute, with 2 values 'gold' and 'silver')
trx. CL02 - create a class (of type 001 - material class). The class is only used as a dummy, so you can attach the attributes to it.
Now add the attributes to the class.
Now, for every material you maintain the class (dummy) and the attribute (gold or silver).
Mat 1    gold
mat 2    gold
mat 3    silver
mat 4     silver
Now, with the coding I gave to you, the product catalog is replicated to TREX. Every material is given a label "VIEWS_ID", which is filled with value "gold" or "silver".
Now, when the customer logs on to the webshop, it's checked what customer type he is (gold or silver). Let's say it's gold, then from all materials, the VIEWS_ID is read, and materials with a matching VIEWS_ID (gold) are shown to the customers. So material 1 and 2 are shown, 3 and 4 are hidden.
In case you have a catalog with a large structure, you might want to show also a limited piece of the catalog structure to the customer. In that case, you do the same for catalog branches, with classification type 060 layout areas.
Hope this helps you out.
regards,
Wim
