EBS data and meta data retrieval

Hi,
I am into java and my requirement is to retrieve data and meta data of the underlying EBS implementation and make it available to the EBS end users for some kind of processing which is outside EBS.With my limited knowledge of EBS,what I understand is that there is a logical view and a physical view of the data.My queries are as below:-
1. Is there a way to get the relationship between physical and logical view?
2. How to get the meta data of the underlying table structures?
3. Should JDBC drivers be sufficient to retrieve the data or is there any other more efficient means of retrieval.
Any help on the same is appreciated as I am new into this area and any help is welcome.
Thanks
MNG

Hi,
1. Is there a way to get the relationship between physical and logical view?
2. How to get the meta data of the underlying table structures?See Oracle eTRM website.

3. Should JDBC drivers be sufficient to retrieve the data or is there any other more efficient means of retrieval. I believe using JDBC drivers should be sufficient. For using JDeveloper, please see (Note: 330236.1 - Configuring JDeveloper For Use With Oracle Applications 11i and R12).

Creating remote objects and passing the retrieved data to modules

I found at this Adobe tutorial a nice "RemoteService" class that creates a RemoteObject and contains the functions for handling the result and fault events. If I wanted to use this approach, how could I pass the data from the result handler to interfaces that modules from the main application could use?
I could put the RemoteService/RemoteObject in the modules, but (in my opinion- and I could be wrong) the best design seems to be using the remote calls in the main app and passing the data along to the modules.
Ultimately, I would like to know what the "best practices" are for creating remote objects and passing the retrieved data to modules
Thanks!

How to recreate EBS user and keep all his historical data.

Hi all
We have a user that is having an issue seeing any of his scheduled Discoverer reports within the Schedule Manager window of Discoverer Plus; Discoverer Desktop works fine.
The solution for it's to recreate the EBS user. The problem with this is that, if we recreate the EBS user, he will lose all historical data connected to that user, including the results of the scheduled Discoverer reports as well as all of the EBS created/last updated information.
There is a way to recreate an EBS user and preserve the historical references.
Thanks

Are you saying you are going to create a new username for the same user and end-date the old one?
There is a way to recreate an EBS user and preserve the historical references.I believe there is no such a way to find all records/tables with the old user_id. Even if you find the list and update them manually, I believe this approach is not supported.
Please log a SR to confirm the same with Oracle support.

Data retrieval buffers - buffer size and sort buffer size

Any difference to tune BSO and ASO on data retrieval buffers?
From Oracle documentation, the buffer size setting is per database per Essbase user i.e. more physical memory will be used if there are lots of concurrent data access from users.
However even for 100 concurrent users, default buffer size of 10KB (BSO) or 20KB (ASO) seems very small compare to other cache setting (total buffer cache is 100*20 = 2MB). Should we increase the value to 1000KB to improve the data retrieval performance by users? The improvement impact is the same for online application e.g. Hyperion Planning and reporting application e.g. Financial Reporting?
Assume 3 Essbase plan types with 100 concurrent access:
PLAN1 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
PLAN2 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
PLAN3 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
Total physical memory required is 600MB.
Thanks in advance!

256 samples Buffer size will always give you a noticable amount of latency. If you use Software Monitoring you should try setting your Buffer to 64 samples. With the recording delay slider in the preferences->Audio you can compensate for the latency (of course not in realtime) so that the Audio will be placed exactly there, where it should hae been recorded at. In your case set it to a -value. A loopback test (check the link below) will clarify the exact amount of Latency occuring on your system.

Query Error Information: Result set is too large; data retrieval ......

Hi Experts,
I got one problem with my query information. when Im executing my report and drill my info in my navigation panel, Instead of a table with values the message "Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration" appears. I already applied "Note 1127156 - Safety belt: Result set is too large". I imported Support Package 13 for SAP NetWeaver 7. 0 BI Java (BIIBC13_0.SCA / BIBASES13_0.SCA / BIWEBAPP13_0.SCA) and executed the program SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN (in transaction SE38), with the object and the value like Note 1127156 says... but the problem still appears....
what Should I be missing ?????? How can I fix this issue ????
Thank you very much for helping me out..... (Any help would be rewarded)

WAD : Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration

Hi All,
When trying to execute the web template by giving less restiction we are getting the below error :
Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration
Result set too large (758992 cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum = 500000 cells)
But when we try to increase the number of restictions it is giving output. For example if we give fiscal period, company code ann Brand we are able to get output. But if we give fical period alone it it throwing the above error.
Note : We are in SP18.
Whether do we need to change some setting in configuration? If we yes where do we need to change or what else we need to do to remove this error
Regards
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
the standard setting for web templates is to display a maximum amount of 50.000 cells. The less you restrict your query the more data will be displayed in the report. If you want to display more than 50.000 cells the template will not be executed correctly.
In general it is advisable to restrict the query as much as possible. The more data you display the worse your performance will be. If you have to display more data and you execute the query from query designer or if you use the standard template you can individually set the maximum amount of cells. This is described over [here|Re: Bex Web 7.0 cells overflow].
However I do not know if (and how) you can set the maximum amount of cells differently as a default setting for your template. This should be possible somehow I think, if you find a solution for this please let us know.
Brgds,
Marcel

Real tough data retrieval - assistance needed

Late 2011 Macbook Pro with 500GB hard drive
Lion 10.7
One morning out of absolutely nowhere I get this grey screen with a flashing question mark folder. I take it to the geniuses at the Apple store and they tell me my hard drive has failed (no explanation). My mac is under warranty so they gave me a new hard drive for free, bagged my old hard drive and told me "good luck" retrieving the data.
I'm on a mission to retrieve the data without paying for services. I have never retrieved data before but I've been doing a lot of forum reading and I have been getting protips from an IT friend who has saved my PC data before.
As of now, I have been unable to even access the hard drive and so I am reaching out to the community to help me conquer this project.
the problem is not the OS (according to Apple store)
when hooking up with the dongle, neither Finder nor Disk Utility detect the bad drive
the drive will spin when forced by the dongle (so I've ruled out the freezer method)
I was advised (by friends and forums alike) to download so powerful data retrieval software:
Data Rescue [did not detect bad external drive]
Disk Drill [did not detect bad external drive]
TestDisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk) [I can get it up and running but I have no idea how to use this software]
So that seems to be the big problem, when I hook up my failed drive as an external hard drive, there is no acknowledgement from my MBP that it is connected and as such data recovery programs cannot access it. When I still had it installed in my computer, there was no clicking sound and it doesn't seem like any of the components are jammed up as it still spins.
Where do I go from here? Please keep in mind that I am new to resolving my own technical problems but I'm willing to learn. Tired of being one of those people who look at computer parts and get anxious.
NOTE: I haven't tried Target Mode as I do not have a firewire cable or access to another mac (yet). If you think I should try this, please let me know.

A hard drive that will not divulge BOTH its Make&Model and a reasonable size/capacity to the likes of Disk Utility and data rescue programs has died, and connot be repaired with any software.
Target Disk mode will not improve anything. The drive is read as a Mac Volume by software. If it won't mount under Mac OS X, it won't mount under Target Disk Mode.

Should I use a data retrieval service or software to recover data ?

Please pardon the length of this post.
Here's the setup for our office:
Computer 1:
10.4.8 OS X
1 GHZ PowerPC G4: silver grey tower, grey apple
1MB L3 Cache
256 MB DDR SDRAM

Dual 450 MHZ PowerPC G4: blue grey tower, blue apple
256 MB SDRAM
Computer 3:
10.4.8 OS X
1 GHZ PowerPC G4 IMac Flat Screen:
256 MB DDR SDRAM
I have 2 LaCie Big Disk d2 Extremes daisy chained and connected to the IMac. We use the first to store all of our data to keep our local disks free. The second d2 is the backup to the first. The other 2 computers connect to the d2's via an ethernet hub. The d2's are each partitioned into 4 compartments.
A couple of days ago I started the system up when I got in in the morning, and the main d2 would not open. I ran disk utility, but it said that the drive was damaged beyond it's ability to repair. I ran DiskWarrior, and it gave me this message:
"The directory of disk 'G4' cannot be rebuilt. The disk was not modified. The original directory is too severely damaged. It appears another disk utility has erased critical directory information. (3004, 2176)."
I contacted Disk Warrior tech support and after a series of exchanges that had me send him dated extracted from the terminal function, he said this:
"It appears that the concatenated RAID inside your LaCie
drive has failed (your 500GB drive is actually 2 250GB
hard drives). That is why we only saw 2 partitions
on "disk3". A possible cause could be a failed bridge
in the case.
You may be looking at sending this drive to a data recovery service.
However, it is possible that we may be able to recover data
from the partitions that we CAN see. What we would be doing would cause no damage to your data
unless the hard drives were having a mechanical failure (ie, the
head crashed and was contacting the platters, similar to scratching
a record). But from what I've seen, I don't feel that is the case.
I believe the piece of hardware that 'bridges' the two drives to
make them act as one has failed. that's why we can only see data
about 1 of the 2 drives in the case.
We would only be attempting to gather data off the drive. Since
data recovery services sometimes charge for amount of data retrieved,
it's up to you how you want to proceed."
Most of the data from the past 5 years for our business stands at being lost. Only some of it had been properly backed up on the second drive, due to some back up software issues. I want to do whatever I can to retrieve all of, or at least some of the data. From what the Alsoft technician said, do you think that the data recovery software available to the consumer is going to be robust enough to retrieve at least the data from the one disk in the drive that is recognizable (there are 2 250gig disks in the d2X. Only one is responding at all). If so, do these Softwares further damage the disks? Or should I just send the drive to a data recovery service?
I'd like to try to extract some of it myself via over the counter retrieval software, but I don't know whether to trust these programs?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My 2 cents:
I have used FileSalvage
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
to recover files from damaged disks. It works as advertised, within limits. Some files may be too damaged to recover. More importantly yo get to scan the disk before actually recovering, and it will give you a list of what it thinks it can recover.
My experience was that it recovered approx 85% of the data.
YMMV but they do have a trial.

Report Developed in Webi Rich Client Consuming more time in Data Retrieval

Dear All,
I am a BO Consultant, recently in my project I have developed one report in Webi Rich Client., at the time of development and subsequent days the report was working fine (taking Data Retrieval time less than 1 minute), but after some days its taking much time (increasing day by day and now its taking more than 11 minutes).
Can anybody point out what could be the reason?????
We are using,
1. SAP BI 7.0
2. SAP BO XI 3.1 Edge
3. Webi Rich Client Version :12.3.0 and Build 601
This report is made on a Multiprovider (Sales).
What are the important points that should be considered so that we can improve the performance of Webi Reports????
Waiting for a suitable solution.....................

Data retrieval for Sony handycam with 60G harddrive.

Does BestBuy do data retrieval? I have a handycam with work video on it that accidentaly got formated. I know with a standard harddrive you can still retrieve it if there has not been recording since the formatting but I am not sure about camera harddrives. If BestBuy does not do it, does anyone know where it can be done and approximate cost. I live in the New Orleans area.
I may try the same question in computers if nobody knows. Thanks in advance for any guidance at all.

Best Buy sends out for data retrieval. You can have it sent out through geek squad to get the estimate of cost.

Data Retrieval Speed in Oracle Spatial vs. ESRI ArcSDE

I would appreciate any opinions regarding data retrieval
performance between Oracle Spatial and ESRI ArcSDE. Would an end-
user (using ESRI software) experience significant differences in
data retrieval speed depending on how the data were stored in
Oracle (MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY verses ESRI Binary/Blob formats).
Knowing that the ESRI binary formats are tailored to their
software front-end apps (ArcGIS, ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and
ArcInfo), wouldn't this be a "non-issue" until the spatial
dataset gets "large", and even then, wouldn't performance be
(almost) equal if the spatial indexes were created properly?
Thanks for your inputs,
Bruce

John,
You can't do that type of query in sql from sql*plus using
SDEBINARY. HOwever, you can perform spatial queries in ArcMap
if you are using SDEBINARY.
You can use the query builder to perform point-in-polygon type
queries.
Hope that helps.
For my two cents, I think SDO_GEOMETRY gives you a more robust
database to work with, because you have the added power of
Oracle Spatial functions. If you are using SDEBINARY you are
limited to only what you can do thru ArcGIS.
If you are concerned more about performance than accessibility,
especially with a large number of users, then SDEBINARY might
be the better choice.
I love Oracle Spatial and am hoping that the performance issue
will not be a serious one when we start putting ArcIMS developed
apps into production.
