Essbase and Reporting 11.1.2.1 - Architecture

I want to install Essbase, SMartView, and Financial Reporting - 25 users, 3-5 cubes, 20-30 reports.
Using the sample deployment scenario from the Install Start Here, I came up with:
Server 1 - (Win 2008 64-bit, 4 x 2.5 +8GB RAM, 50GB Disk)
Essbase
Essbase Studio (maybe)
Server 2 - (Win 2008 32-bit, 2 x 2.5 +4GB RAM, 32GB Disk)
Foundation
Reporting and Analysis Framework
FR Web
FR Print Server
EAS
WebLogic
Ghostscript
Is this configuration sufficient?

Any reason why server 2 is 32bit, also I would probably increase the ram on server 2
Cheers

Security Approach and Plan for single logon for Essbase and Reports.

Please any one can suggest me, how can I do the Security Approach and Plan for single logon for Essbase and Reports by using Maxl or Administrator.If any one have code,please forward to my email Id: [email protected]

Once you are logged in to the "Hyperion Portal" as you call it, your user credentials are automatically passed among all the components. Therefore, a lot of the logic you created to pass credentials between BQY files in a desktop environment are no longer needed.

How to deploy existing forms and reports on the web

Hi Guys,
I have 6i forms and reports within our environment, and we are running client/server architecture, by installing forms and reports runtime on each client PC's. We would like to get rid of this by deploying forms and reports on the web, without zero coding. Can any one suggest and guide me through the process with proper security mechanism enabled along with.
Thanks in advance,
Aji

Thanks for the update,
We have a develpment 10g AS environment setup made,
1) But we are really confused how to present the forms and reports.
We have around 250 forms and reports running on client/server architecture. All these forms/reports have been copied to a fileshare and access control is restricted by folder security.
2) How to deploy forms - entries within formsweb.cfg with Named Configuration sections.
3) How to deploy reports, as to were to copy the .rep files.

How to apply modified UI Defaults to existing forms and reports?

Hi all--
I've been struggling with UI defaults and after searching through posts in this forum, it doesn't look like I'm alone.
Is there a way to apply changes made to UI defaults to existing forms and reports? New forms and reports pick up the changes, but can they by applied retoactively?
Thanks in advance,

Need help understanding MS SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0 and user access / priviledges.

Having Problems with connections and access. I have spent the last 2 days reading various threads regarding SQL Reporting Services pertaining to access and connections.
First, let me explain what I have done to date.
1) I am using Windows 7 - Home Premium.
2) I downloaded and installed MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. This was successful.
3) I downloaded Report Server 3.0 - This was successful.
4) In IE, I tried logging onto http://servername/reports, but this failed. After logging into IE
via ' Run Administrator', I was able to access URL.
Next, I updated the security / trust sites as explained in the
threads
Next, I went to Folder Setting and added my user name and granted all roles (Browser,
Content Manager, My
Reports, Publisher and Report Builder).
5) Now, I can log into Http://servername/reports using my normal windows 7 user account.
6) Next, I opened Report Builder 3.0. However, I am having trouble connecting to report
server. I tried connecting with
http://servername/reports, but this failed.
However, If I change URL to http://servername/reportserver, it works. BUT NOW, I have
another problem. When I
execute the RUN button to create report, I get a permission
error. "PERMISSION GRANTED TO USER ARE
INSUFFICIENT FOR PERFORMING THIS OPERATION".
7) Finally, I can not save reports to http://servername/reportserver when I select "Recent
Site and Servers". ERROR
MESSAGE: UNABLE TO OPEN OR SAVE REPORT
8) In my Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
Web URL = http://servername:80/ReportServer
Report Manager URL = http://servername:80/reports.
What is strange, the Report Manager URL works for IE URL and WEB URL works for
Report Builder connect (Even though it really does not work).
THREE QUESTIONS:
1) What URL should I use to connect in Report Builder.
2) How do I update my normal Windows 7 user so I can run reports when I connect to report
builder.
3) How can I save my reports so they are displayed in IE Reporting services. Note: I was
able to save report to
documents folder and import into IE Reporting Services.
4) And finally, is it possible to add report builder 3.0 as a tab in my IE Reporting Services. I
save seen samples of Reporting Services screens where the instructor has Report Builder
tab.
Thanks
Dan

To answer question 1... it should connect through /ReportServer
http://bretstateham.com/reporting-services-architecture-diagram%E2%80%A6/
Report Builder 3.0 is not a web application, it is a client side application can be used using the click-once or downloaded from Microsoft's website. If you are having issues, you might download and install it and try running it as an administrator.

Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

All,
I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
Functional Testing:
* Use of shortcut keys
* Navigation between fields
* Screen organisation (filed locations)
* Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
* Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
Performance Testing:
* carry out tests for fixed user load
* carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
* automated collection of log files and metrics during test
So far I have:

Thanks in advance for your response.
Mathew Butler
Configuration:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
Your question is unclear. As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports. Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save. You now have a v11 module. Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required. The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application. If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script. Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll). See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant. Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11. It allows you to select more than one file at a time. Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

Hi,
I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
I have 2 question:
- Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
- Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/oracle-bi-ee-10-1-3-4-1-writebacks-to-essbase-using-japi-and-custom-html-part-1/

Thanks,

Forms and Reports 6i to web migration

Hello,
Is there any white paper that describes about how to migrate from client server architecture to a web running on UNIX?
We are migrating from forms and reports 6i running on windows to web running on UNIX with the versions of products.
Thanks in advance.

check this out:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/content.html
I have tried running Forms/Reports 6i servers on Solaris 8. It was different than using the 9iAS EE forms/reports services - but the concept is similar. I also used whitepapers that I downloaded from Metalink which were explaining the client/server and the web form design differences (such as when-mouse tringgers won't work in web forms, etc).

How to compile forms and reports 6i in Application server 1.0.2.2.2.

Hi all,
i used oracle forms and reports 6i with oracle database 10g in client server architecture.
now i want to make 3 tier, client-application server version 1.0.2.2.2-origin database serversystem on 3 separate machines.
i have installed application server version 1.0.2.2.2.
now i have my forms and reports 6i in application server computer.
can any one please tell me how to compile forms and reports 6i in application server computer i.e do i have to write some extra code in forms and reports 6i in order to compile in application server computer successfully.
waiting for an early reply.
best regards

email:[email protected]

... another question would be why not upgrade those old Forms & Reports to the newest release 10.1.2.0.2 and use the latest Application Server to run them with?
Release 6i and 1.0.2.2 is as you know desupported.

Single Client Access Name for Weblogic Forms and Reports.

I have a 2 node clustered system:
Windows 2008 R2 64-bit
Weblogic 10.3.3 (on each node)
Weblogic Forms and Reports 11.1.1.3 (on each node)
Database 11gR2 RAC 11.2.0.1 (on each node)
The forms and reports are clustered and I can connect to each from each of the two servers and the cluster is working well.
The database uses Single Client Access Name (SCAN) to present the database as if it were one server called dbserver1.
I was wondering if there was a similar thing for Weblogic and what everyone else uses to present their application as a single name to the user.
I tried using Windows Network Load Balancing, but this stops the database scan listeners from working.
Thanks.

Dear,
Did you find an answer to your question back in 2009?
We are facing the same installation architecture, but we do not find any concrete information regarding SCAN with Oracle Forms 11g

Multiple data sources Essbase and RDBMS in BIEE 11g

Hi,
I want to link Essbase cube with sql server in BIEE 11. I try to do it and I found that it can be linked in physical layer, but it does not allow me to set linkage in "Business Model and Mapping" layer. when I drag and drop a report and it return error:
=================
View Display Error
ODBC Driver returned an error (SQLExeDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code:10058. [NQODC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has ocurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 15018] Incorrectly defined logical table source (for fact table dummy_gen2_info) does not contain mapping for [Product.Gen2,Product - Member Key]. (HY000)
=================
My steps:
==========================
1) Use "Import Metadata" in BI Admin tools to import data source from Essbase (e.g. TBC, TBC_ASO)
2) Use "Import Metadata" in BI Admin tools to import SQL server table (e.g. testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info)
3) create linkage between table testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info.gen_id with TBC_ASO.[Product.Gen2,Product - Member Key] in "Physical layer"
4) drag and drop TBC (Essbase), TBC_ASO (Essbase), and testdb (sql server) from physical layer to "Business Model and Mapping" layer
5) drag and drop table testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info to TBC_ASO (since it dosn't allow set linkage in "Business Model and Mapping" layer between different data source)
6) drag and drop TBC, TBC_ASO, testdb from "Business Model and Mapping" layer to Presentation Layer.
==========================
Anything I did wrong? please advise.

Check what are your settings under tools-> Embedded OC4J Preferences in the datasource node.

Split the load between OLTP and Reporting

Hi,
my new client is in need of a method for splitting the load on one same database where OLTP as well as Reporting applications are both running against the same tables.
Environment description: Oracle 10g release 2 on AIX.
Within the OLTP application, 4 tables are heavily used with several millions of DMLs per day (mostly INSERTS and UPDATES). Those 4 tables are sharing the same primary key and are constantly joined by the reporting tool.
The business requirement is that the data being read by the reporting tool needs to be "near live" to "live".
My first idea is to implement an MView log for each of the 4 OLTP tables (on independent physical drives), as well as a "FAST REFRESH on COMMIT" materialized view joining the 4 tables, this way, the reporting tool can read "live" data from this new physical object (stored independently) instead of the actual OLTP tables.
The Reporting tool needs to perform some light DMLs on some of the other OLTP tables, and the new Materialized view (joining the 4 tables) cannot be stored in another physical database for this reason.
Any thoughts on this setup (any different architecture ideas ?)
Did someone implement a similar setup ? (with similar large volume involved)
Would FAST REFRESH ON COMMIT slow down the OLTP system too much ?
Thank you,
Patrick
www.renaps.com

Hi Justin,
I agree with you that the benefit we would gain from not having to join the reporting tables would affect the transactional performance.
Although, by doing so, we would also get rid of about half of the transactional indexes (indexes that were added to improve the performance of the reporting queries on the actual highly used OLTP tables).
I would think that the I/O performance lost by adding materialized view logs on the transactional tables would be grossly canceled by removing the additional indexes.
Of course, this is only in theory as I can't really confirm this fact until the actual tests.
To answer your question, the main reasons the load needs to be splited from the OLTP are:
1) to improve the reporting performance (since those tables are always joined together).
2) to reduce the over-head on the OLTP system so the sporadic reporting transactions do not affect the OLTP performance.
3) keeping both the OLTP and Reporting systems in the same database is for now a necessity since the Reporting system also initiates some DML operations on the OLTP tables.
please let me know your thoughts..
Thanks!
Patrick

OBIEE 11g and Essbase and Dimension Filter / Selection Steps

We are doing a prototype using OBI 11g with Essbase 11.1.2 as a datasource. Our prototype consist of several reports, graphs and dashbaords. The Essbase cube is an ASO cube with 12 dimensions. Most of our dimensions are ragged/unbalanced so we have set up the dimension type to be "Value" in the RPD. There is one dimension - Product and it is a ragged dimension. We are trying to create a simple report that has level zero products as rows. This is something pretty easy to do in Essbase Financial Reporting but it does not look like there is an easy way to filter only on the Level 0 members of a particular dimension. I have tried with selection steps as well as changing the dimension back to unbalanced without much luck.
Has anyone out there done something similar before? Thx.

Hi user,
Check this out OBIEE 11g - Essbase connection Failed
And 1 more thing admin tool works only for 32-bit ...but not in 64 bit.So ensure you install 32-bit for admin tool.
UPDATED POST
Jacob->its same for stand alone application also,it works only on 32-bit
hope helps you.

Application Server : Forms and Reports Services

Hello
Currently I have a three tier architecture in production for a client, running an forms and reports applications called HREF
1. client browser with Jinitiatior,webutil running 10g forms and reports app,
2. a 10g OAS with forms and report services and infrastructure components installed
3. a 10g Enterprise Edition Database Server running a 16gb db.
There is a new dev environment to be made on a much smaller scale with the same HREF application but it will only be about 2GB of data at the back end.It has to be much more cost effective, so I am looking at both reducing license costs and scale throughout.
So could I use........
1. The same client browser with Jinitiatior,webuti running 10g forms and reports app, -- running fmx and rdf can that be free?
2. Do I need a separate appliaction server install ? -- is OAS necessary , what is the most cost effective option (just install forms and reports services?)
3. Can I use Oracle Express Edition 10g -- free to use
Thanks for any help.

For development you don't need to pay license fees, so you could use Oracle Enterprise Edition as well.
Have a look at the OTN License agreement e.g. here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your application, and not for any other purpose. If you use the application you develop under this license for any internal data processing or for any commercial or production purposes, or you want to use the programs for any purpose other than as permitted under this agreement, you must obtain a production release version of the program by contacting us or an Oracle reseller to obtain the appropriate license. You acknowledge that we may not produce a production release version of the program and any development efforts undertaken by you are at your own risk. We may audit your use of the programs. Program documentation, if available, may accessed online at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html.
Install Forms & Reports and the Database on Oracle Enterprise Linux and you won't even have to pay licenses for your OS.
