Data Encryption for Cubes

Hi,
One of my client requires TDS for all databases. My BI product has reports with OLAP Cube as data source.
How about using BitLocker for the HDD where the abf is physically located. Can I do this approach or any other better suggestions ?
Thanks in Advance,

Data encryption for short term protection?

As for the present DPM release 2012 R2 UR1, there is no support for encryption of data to DPM disk. Do anyone know if/when this is planned in future releases??
/Amir

if you look on the versions (DPM 2007 (2008 year) - 2012 R2 (2013)) that
will have to wait a long time :)

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4058.list-of-build-numbers-for-system-center-data-protection-manager-dpm.aspx
I think that if you need encrypted data you can
1) Use DPM as virtual machine with vhd data and encrypt Volume with vhd DPM data
2) Use Firestreamer
Have a nice day !!!

URGENT: Data discrepency for Cube and ODS 0fi_ar_4

Hi all,
I am having problems for ODS 0fiar_o03 and Cube 0fiar_c03...
They have been initialised a year back and delta was running almost correctly since then. ..some sometime in August they started showing discrepency from standard R/3 code FBL5N.
The cube and ODs are having exact data till 31/07.2006 .
I tried to delete all data in Cube and ODs by selective deletion of fiscal periods 005.2006 to 008.2006 and reload again from R/3..but still data not matching. Why is that so?
Please suggest steps to correct it. Will assign points.

Dear Andy,
First tell us that how can you say that data is inconsistent? I mean on what criteria you consolidate data.
Secondly have you checked in R3 that after 31.07.2006 was there any change or anything new (company code or smthing) added.
My suggestion would be;
First:
1. Go to RSA3 (in R3) and check that are you able to see(pull) the data you want.
2. Now check wheather it is coming in BW or not?
3. If coming then manually update cube through data mart.
Second:
1. if not able to get data through standard extractor then try to load by flat file. (last option)
2. check wheather deltas after your repair full upload are giving you correct deltas or not? if not then re-initialize and reshedule deltas.
Hope it helps, do revert.

To load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.

Experts,
Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.If so explain the steps to perform.
Thanks,
Meera

Hi,
Think in this way,
To load the data fro any source we need datasource Ok. You can genare Export data source for Cube in APO, then use that datasource for BW extraction, try like this. I think it will work, in my case I'm directly loading data from APO to BW using the DataSource sthat are genaraed on Planning Area.
Why you need to take data from APO cube?. Is there any condition for that?. If it is not mandatory, you can use the dame datasource and load the data to BW, if they have any conditions while loading the data from APO to APO cube, they you try check wherther it is possible in BW or not. If possible then you use DataSource and do the same calculation in BW directly.
Thanks

Data Encryption - Removable Storage - User-Defined Password

Hello,
we are testing Data encryption for USB Storage and want "Enable encryption via user-defined password" to the entire device.
But this is not working.
When i select "Apply password encryption to this folder only" and copy files to the specified folder, i got asked, which password i want to use and it works fine on the 2nd device without Endpoint Security Client to decrypt the files.
But reselect "Apply password encryption to the entire device" i got no prompt to set a password, neither i can open the files on the 2nd device.
I tried a lot. Formatting the USB Device (multiple times), clean the RSD Password, rebooting the devices, but nothing works.
Can someone confirm this issue or better give a solution?! )

On Enabling TDE Column Encryption for 11g 11.2.0.4 , will SYS user able to decrypt, encrypted column !

Hi ,
we are planning to implement Transparent Data Encryption for 11.2.0.4 11g DB .
My Query is Whether SYS DB user will be able to Decrypt all encrypted Columns.
we have tested for Virtual Private Database Policy, and found out that it applies Policy for all DB Users except SYS.
so now we have a query whether encryption will be applied for all DB users except for SYS.?
regards
Abdulrahman
(P.S: attached is document how we tested for Virtual Private Database , if we can somehow disable SYS access to specific tables also our compliance requirement will be met thanks )

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e40393/asotrans.htm#ASOAG600
"Transparent Data Encryption(TDE) enables you to encrypt sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, stored in tables and tablespaces. Encrypted data is transparently decrypted for a database user or application that has access to data. TDE helps protect data stored on media in the event that the storage media or data file gets stolen."
TDE encrypts data blocks.
Users are not aware that the objects they query are encrypted - this is the reason it is called 'transparent'.

Using an SAS2008 Cube as a data source for BI Publisher errors

Hi All,
I am trying to use a SAS 2008 cube as a data source for a report in BI Publisher. When I defined the data source under the admin section I gave it the following details:
Data Source=ntsasqa01;Provider=msolap.3;Initial Catalog=WWPR_SMG
With a username / password that has access to the cube.
When I try and test the connection the OC4J instance stops running and the test does not finish or error. If I use the data source and then setup a report and then try and view data I get an error like the one below:
/app/oracle/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/DataSource/msmdacc.dll ( 0509-022 Cannot load module /app/oracle/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/DataSource/msmdacc.dll.
0509-103 The module has an invalid magic number.)
I am not sure if the error is related to the initial issue of not being able to complete the test.
I need to find a solution though as I have to make use of MDX to access the cubes.
Please could someone give me some advice.
Thanks,
Kim.

Hi Kim
1. SAS cubes are not currently supported - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf. Unless SAS cubes can use the MS drivers?
2. If you try and pursue it you might check the permissions on the ddll in the error to ensure you have rights over it.
Either way you are not supported with a SAS cube so you are kinda on your own. Sorry I dont use SAS so Im not going to be much help other than stating the obvious :0)

Need suggestion for data encryption

Hello Experts,
I need your expert opinion on one of the data encryption method. We have some legal compliance to implement data encryption as listed below, lets say we have to apply encryption on 2 tables (1) TAB_A (2) TAB_B.
(1) Need data encryption on the TAB_A & TAB_B for 2-3 columns and not the entire table.
(2) Data should not be in readable format, if anyone connect to database and query the table.
(3) We have reporting services on our tables but reporting services doesn't connect to our schema directly rather they connect to a different schema to which we have given the table Select grant.
(4) Reports should work as it is, and users should see the data in readable format only.
(5) There are batch processes which generates the data into these tables and we are not allowed to make any changes to these batch processes.
This is a business need which has to be delivered. I explored various options such as VPDs, Data encryption methods etc but honestly none of these are serving our business need. There is also a limitation of encrypting data as data volume of quiet high (30TB DB) and generally users query the data on millions of records at a time. Also reports have very tight SLAs as well. If we create any encryption wrapper then decrypt will take longer in reports and will cause the SLA miss for reports.
Could someone please suggest any better solution to me or if something is inbuilt in Oracle? We are using Oracle 11g.
Regds,
Amit.

Are there any tools for data encryption and decryption ?

Hi,
i am using oracle 9i R2, i want encrypt my data. Are there any tools available in market.
Please let me know the ways to do data encryption and decryption.
Thanks in advance

Encrypting a password is itself not secure. Anything that can be encrypted can be decrypted. That is why Oracle itself DOES NOT encrypt passwords.
Surprised??
Here's what Oracle does with passwords, and what others should be doing if they have to store them.
When the password is created, the presented password - clear text - is concatenated with the username. The resulting character string is then passed through a one-way hashing function. It is that hashed value that is stored. Then when a user presents his credentials to log on to the system, the presented credentials are combined and hashed in the same manner as when the password was created, and the resulting hash value compared to the stored value.

How to make cube data avilable for reporting

Hello,
I have loaded data in to info cube from flat file, and created a query using BEx Analyzer. that query does not return results and gives an error msg "No Applicable Data Found".
Padmanabha Rao had a same problem. In his thread, expert is recommending to check whether the data is available for Reporting by Rt clicking Infocube -> Manage -> Requests tab. Ideally, you'll be able see an indicator(Query icon) if it's available for reporting.
My cube data is not available for reporting, how can I make it available for reporting?
Regards,
Tejas.

Normally when the data gets loaded to cube, it will be available for reporting unlike DSO where you need to activate the data to make it available for reporting. There could be many reasons why the data is not available for reporting;
1. May be there is aggregrates created on the cube and the data never been rolled up to the aggregates. If you see a summation sign next to the cube then there is aggregates created on the cube and you need to fill the aggregates first before you can have the data available for reporting in the cube. To do that, manage ->rollup and start, that will fill the aggregates.
2. If there is any request in the cube which is still red, then any request after that won't be available for reporting until you either delete the red request.
If the problem still persist, then I would just delete all the data from the cube and reload the data again.
thanks.

Bi 7.0 for cube and master data steps

hi friends,
can u give me step by step comparision between bi 7.0 and bi 3.0 for cube ods and master data, ple explaing me what are the steps difference for those in bi 7.0 .
and reporting is same or any difference in bi 7.0 .
other than sap.help.com material, if u have any other or any screen shots. ple send me.
Thanking u
suneel.

what abt master data, in master data we are using only transfer rules, here also we are using transformation and dtp again.
Yes we would be using transformations and DTP's on the masterdata too. but the system would prompt to make IO a infoprovider in order to use the new functionality. There is another work around for it, but we can discuss it later, orelse search the forum for that option, i have replied to couple of questions regarding that.
what abt reporting any things other than calculated kf restricted kf, filters rows columns, free chaststics, variables, any chnages in screen.
The basic functionality of all the above mentioned objects havent changes, and the query designer itself, there are hell a lot of changes in the appearance and it will take a while to get used to it and find your way with all the functionalities.
i have doubt bps menas businees planning simulation what is this, bec i have idea we can use transactional cube and transactional ods for write accress for planninmg also
BPS is something I have no clue abt... (you dont see me answering in Business planning forum)

Multiple data sources and cubes for mining

We have two data sources:
1 - OLTP database for transactional operations
2 - Data Warehouse for analysis
We use change data capture to track changes in the OLTP and upload to DW each night.
Currently, we have one cube built on top of our DW for analysis and KPI's etc
However, if we wish to use the OLTP DB for data mining, can this done in the same solution using a new data source or do we need to create a new cube etc?

Hi Darren,
According to your description, you are going to use the OLTP DB for data mining, what you want to know is can this done in the same solution using a new data source or do we need to create a new cube?
In your scenario, if the cube structure for data mining is same as original cube, then you needn't create anything, just edit the connection of the data source to point to the OLTP database. If the cube structure for data mining is not same as original
cube, then I am afraid you need to create a new cube.

Is it possible to use same data source for two info cube

Hi,
My Problem is in BW we can not have value of material at storage location level.In R/3 also value is maintained at plant level.
Then we searched and we found out one hot to doc for summarized display of stock values on storage location level.
Problem is that we have gone live in last December and we are using " 0AFMM_C02 " and it contains around 1,81,26,000 records. and according to note we have to use
"0IC_C03".
Both the cube uses same data sources for the data.So, how to get the data for "0IC_C03".
and how to delete the data of existing info cube.And is it possible to delete data selectively from the info cube.
Pls. help.
Regards,
viren.

Hi,
You can't create update rule from PSA.You can create from the infosource or from ODS or from cube to cube or ODS to ODS.
In your scenario, what you can do is create update rules from the ODS to the new cube and then transfer the data from there. Or from the Infosource create rules to the new data target and then upload the full data and then set up the delta.
Third option is to create update rules from the existing cube to the new cube and then load all the data one time. Then you can deactivate the update rules as that was needed only for 1 time data transfer.
Cheers,
Kedar

How to View master data & Trasaction data tables for Puchasing Cube

Hi BW masters,
How should I check which tables (Master data tables and Transaction data tables) are involved with Business Content Cube(Purchasing data 0PUR_C01). I would like to know this information in order to go to that table and browse the data in that table. Where should we go and check this out.
I will reward the points for the good answers.:-)
Thanks
Syed.

hi Syed,
to view tables' content you can use SE16,
you can try infocube name, dimension tables of cube are store in *d[infocube name]1 to F, fact tables are f[infocube name] and e[infocube name]-compress,
infocube data are stored in star schema, you can use LISTCUBE to view the content (to see the structure/tables in cube, use LISTSCHEMA),
master data (not time-dependent) are stored in text table t[infoobject name], attribute - p[infoobject name] and hierarchy - h[infoobject name],
take a look bw multidimensional data modeling for detail
