Database version for Business Intelligence module

Hi,
We are considering deploying the business intelligence module of Apps 11ir3.
My question is what versions of discoverer (4i, 9i), what versions of database (8.1.7, 9.0.1, 9.2.0), and what version of OWB (??, 9.02, 9.03, 9.04) can be used to implement this?
Our current DWH runs on DB 9.0.1.3, OWB 9.03, Discoverer 9i, we are thinking about migrating to DB 9.2.0, OWB 9.0.4 fro the extra functionality offered by both.
My concern is: can we then integrate Business Intelligence modules in that combo?
Thanks for any input,
Wilco Oosterom

Purpose of a database server for Business Objects XI 3.1

Hello Team,
I am quite new Business Objects and right now I am using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1.
when installing BO XI 3.1, I was prompted to select the database server to be created. I chose MySQL.
Now, I am curious to know the pupose/involvement of a database server for BO. I understand that the database is being managed/used by CMS and it has four main functions:
Maintains security (users)
Manages objects (folders, reports, and program objects)
Manages servers (services)
Manages auditing (system auditor).
Is there any better explanation to the database and its purpose?
what does the database schema/user holds (any database objects,tables,etc..,)?
Does repository and database schema the same?
Are all the report objects, users and universe being stored in the database schema?
Thanks in advance for the reply.
Regards,
Kathir

the database server for BO XI 3.1 is needed to store the repository for the system which in another meaning the structure of the system itself.
yes the repository is the same as the schema, but schema is a database concept.
all the objects (universes, reports,,,,,,, etc) are stored in the FileStore of Business Obejcts system, but the structure of how those object are stored is exist into the repository database.
good luck
Amr

Is there an 8.2.1 version for the DSC module?

I just received my service pack, and realized that there is no disk for the DSC module. There are references to version 8.2.1 on this site, but I don't see where I can download it. Shouldn't that have been included with the other CD's?

Hi Brian,
I would recommend that you call your internal sales representative here at National Instruments and discuss this matter with them - as it is not provided for download on our site.

Database version for Headstart 9i

The requirements for Headstart 9i mention that database version 9.2.0.1 is required. Does this only apply to the version of the repository database or also for the target database in which the application is run? For the time being we want to use our application on a 8.1.7 database.

Database Version for 9iAS ???

We are evaluating wich version of the DB use with 9iAS, Standard or Enterprise.
We do mostly need reads of the database, but have at least two applications that need replication with other DB's - that could be a point for Enterprise version.
What are the advantages of use each version ??
Thanks
null

In my opinion for 9iAS itself it does not matter whether you use Enterprise or Standard edition of backend database.

Has anybody done a database version for flexstore

I was wondering if somebody has done DB version of
specifically this version of flexstore in flex 2.0
http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/flexstore/flexstore.html
Specifically the UI gets really crawls if you have even 600
items because it loads the entire XML, and the view loads
everything without some form of paging. Obviously this can be
resolved through some of paging such as reading first 10 etc or
querying and getting appropriate data from DB based on filters etc.
So in that context, I would greatly appreciate if you
somebody can share what they have done.

OK, friends, the project is up and SourceView is enabled.
Just keep in mind that I did this purely for study purposes,
so see the original readme for Flextore and the comments in the
original sample project code files. There are things in there that
are not necessarily best practices.
In the unlikely event that you want a copy of the database
file, just let me know by email directly and I will be glad to send
it to you; I cannot give you access to that in my shared web
server.
Happy Fourth,
Carlos

Key Criteria for Business Intelligence Product Vs Hyperion

Hi !
Can some one share what are the basic criterias for evaluating which product would fit for a customer site - Oracle BI Vs Hyperion?
Thanks
Amit

That's an extremely wide question. Check out these links...they give you a first insight.

http://businessintelligencedw.blogspot.com/2008/07/siebel-analytics-obiee-vs-hyperion.html
Otherwise, check Oracles website for the detailled specs and capabilities:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/essbase/index.html
And here's a link on the evolution of the two:
http://www.hroug.hr/hr/content/download/3749/52383/file/504_Perica_BI_novosti.pdf
Generally the decision between the two boils down to the actual customer requirements. And it's not unusual to find both products in use for the same solution.

Business Intelligence on iSeries suggestions

Sorry if this is already out here but I guess I'm not forming my queries very well today. Does anyone have any suggestions for Business Intelligence on the iSeries? Our SAP rep has suggested BOBJ Edge but I don't see any iSeries versions of that (Windows and Linux only). Has anyone used any of the BOBJ packages on the iSeries or something like Edge with connectors to the ERP system on the iSeries. I saw a few BW on iSeries threads. Is that the hot setup in iSeries world? What are the differences between BOBJ Edge and BW on iSeries?

Hi Rick,
I would collect info on "what kinds of reports are most needed for the business" (particular WM orders, costing info, HCM data, etc) and "what frontend reporting formats are expected/accepted", then discuss the options with BOBJ/BW consultants. Note that BW and BOBJ are not mutually exclusive with each other - you could have ERP->BW->BOBJ, in which BW provides predefined data transfer structure from ERP to BW, datacubes, queries, etc and BOBJ provides nice frontend tool for better data presentation. Meanwhile as infocubes/data are not physically in BOBJ side, the database maintenance work is not as demanding as ERP or BW.
Sorry that I am not an expert on BW or BOBJ...
Best regards,
Victor

Best practice for calling application module methods and plsql code

In my application I am experiencing problems with connection pooling, I seem to be using a lot of connections in my application when only a few users are using the system. As part of our application we need to call database procedures for business logic.
Our backing beans, call methods on the application module which in turn call a database procedure. For instance in the backing bean we have code like this to call the application module method.
// Calling Module to generate new examination/test.
CIGAppModuleImpl appMod = (CIGAppModuleImpl)Configuration.createRootApplicationModule("ky.gov.exam.model.CIGAppModule", "CIGAppModuleLocal");
String testId = appMod.createTest( userId, examId, centerId).toString();
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().put("tid",testId);
// Close the call
System.out.println("Calling releaseRootApplicationModule remove");
Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(appMod, true);
System.out.println("Completed releaseRootApplicationModule remove");
return returnResult;
In the application module method we have the following code.
System.out.println("CIGAppModuleImpl: Call the database and use the value from the iterator");
CallableStatement cs = null;
try{
cs = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement("begin ? := macilap.user_admin.new_test_init(?,?,?); end;", 0);
cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.NUMERIC);
cs.setString(2, p_userId);
cs.setString(3, p_examId);
cs.setString(4, p_centerId);
cs.executeUpdate();
returnResult=cs.getInt(1);
System.out.println("CIGAppModuleImpl.createTest: Return Result is " + returnResult);
}catch (SQLException se){
throw new JboException(se);
finally {
if (cs != null) {
try {
cs.close();
catch (SQLException s) {
throw new JboException(s);
I have read in one of Steve Muench presentations (Oracle Fusion Applications Team' Best Practises) that calling the createRootApplicationModule method is a bad idea, and to call the method via the binding interface.
I am assuming calling the createRootApplicationModule uses much more resources and database connections that calling the method through the binding interface such as
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding ob = bindings.getOperationBinding("customMethod");
Object result = ob.execute()
Is this the case? Also is using getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement the best way of calling database procedures. Would it be better to expose plsql packages as webservices and then call them from the applicationModule. Is this more efficient?
Regards
Orlando

Thanks Shay, this is now working.
I successfully got the binding to the application method in the pagedef.
I used the following code in my backing bean.
package view.backing;
import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;
import oracle.binding.OperationBinding;
public class Testdatabase {
private DCBindingContainer bindingContainer;
public void setBindingContainer (DCBindingContainer bc) {this.bindingContainer = bc;}
public DCBindingContainer getBindingContainer() {return bindingContainer;}
public static String validateUser()
// Calling Module to validate user and return user role details.
System.out.println("Getting Binding Container from Home Backing Bean");
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
System.out.println("Obtain binding");
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("calldatabase");
System.out.println("Set username parameter");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("p_userId",userId);
System.out.println("Set password parameter");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("p_testId",examId);
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
System.out.println("Obtain result");
String userRole = result.toString();
System.out.println("Result is "+userRole);
}
