Execute CR from Oracle in Background Process

Post Author: dansken
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi, I'm new to CR and we have recently purchase Business Objects Enterprise XI. I would like to execute/open a created report that is saved as a .rpt from an Oracle procedure passing an in parameter that is used in the database query in on the report. I also would like the report to automatically be printed on a printer. Is there a way to do this? I hope I haven't been too confusing.Thanks in advance,Magnus

Hi,
I am not sure about the express version. Never used it yet.
Have a look at the scheduler jobs and their runs.
Statistics collection is by default made every night between 10 pm and 6 am.
And every weekend between SAT 12:00 and MON 12:00.
You can of course influence this behaviour be changing the time window settings for this job (the job is called gather_stats_job).
The AWR is the automatic workload repository which is new thing Oracle 10g.
Here is an excerpt from the doku:
Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) is a built-in repository in every Oracle Database. At regular intervals, the database makes a snapshot of all its vital statistics and workload information and stores them in AWR. By default, the snapshots are made every 60 minutes, but you can change this frequency. The snapshots are stored in the AWR for a period of time (seven days by default) after which they are automatically purged.
it is me again:
you can use the package dbms_workload _repository to influence the frequency of snapshotsw taken as well as the retention periode for which they shall be storede inside the SYSAUX tablespace.
Maybe you should read some chapters in the concepts volume of the doku:
here is a link to the AWR in the doku, hope it works:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231
If you do not want all these automatic things going on then you can set the init-parameter STATISTICS_LEVEL to BASIC.
This will stop a lot of these statistics gatherings and also other nice things. Pls read the reference for this. There all initialization parameters are documented.

Executing commands from Oracle

Hi,
I want to execute commands from Oracle where files are stored in Server. For eg. (sample.dat) contains some insert scripts which is stored in UNIX Server, that scripts should be executed from oracle using some methods!! Hope everyone got it. If not, pls let me know i'll elaborate it later.
Thanks
Rajaram

If you are using oracle 10g then you can use dbms_scheduler to execute o/s commands, scripts.
BEGIN
-- Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
job_name => 'test_full_job_definition',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/scripts/myscript.sh',
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
repeat_interval => 'freq=hourly; byminute=0',
end_date => NULL,
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.');
END;
For earlier versions than 10g

Executing BW Workbooks from EP as background process

Hi all!
I need to execute BEX workbooks from Enterprise Portal with automatically predefined values of variables. Iu2019d like to do this in two ways: normal (ordinary way) and as background process (result: xls. file). Can you help me?

Hi Alzatula,
You can do this in information broadcasting.
You can configur broadcast settings for workbooks.
The prerequisite is you need a precalculation server.
Check on sdn, how to register a precalculation server.
You can execute it in foreground or you can schedule it in background.
Check this link, it may help you to set up the broadcast setting.

Information broacasting can be called through BEx broadcaster in EP.
Hope it helps,

Oracle 9i background process

Hi,
Currently I am doing ORACLE 9i Data Guard on HP-UX, I find there are some strange background process, such as "nsv1", "lns0" and "rsm0". I am familiar with smon, pmon, etc, but those new processes are new to me. I researched Oracle doc and Metalink, there is no place talking about those processes.
Do you know any place I can get explanation of all the Oracle background process?
Thanks

Here is a quick description directly from the database:
TEST> select name, description from v$bgprocess where name in ('NSV1','LNS0','RSM0');
NAME DESCRIPTION
LNS0 Network Server 0
RSM0 Data Guard Broker Resource Guard Process 0

PLS-00306,problem while executing procedure from oracle e_comerce

Hi
I have writen a procedure in oracle.Tere i have a parameter with type varchar2.
While i registered it in e_comerce i choosed the value set as 15characters.
When i am runing the program from my ecomerce application it gives an error as below:
ORACLE error 6550 in FDPSTP
Cause: FDPSTP failed due to ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PO_OUTPUT'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
there is no error when i am executing my procedure in toad/sql+ but this error comes only in e_comerce application.
PLease tell what is the reason and what can be the solution?

Hi,

The function has the following parameters: 
function insertj(jnum j.j#%type, jname j.jname%type, city j.city%type) 
where j# is varchar2(5), jname is varchar2(35) and city is varchar2(35) .
I was trying to insert the following values: 
j#:='J11', jname:='JobName' and city:='Paris'. 


The procedure just calls this function with the same parameters. It is very strange because it is hard to see what the problem is. The line 10 is return 0 in the function where I believe the error comes from. It starts in the procedure and then goes in the function body, if I am interpreting this right.


Any idea?

Thanks!

Query in sql server from Oracle 9.2

Hi
How can I to connect and execute query from Oracle without to use others products ( DG4MSQL ....etc) ?
using 9.2.08

Hi,
I say it is 'free' because Dg4ODBC is included in your RDBMS license and you just need to supply a third party ODBC driver.
See this note -
Gateway and Generic Connectivity Licensing Considerations (Doc ID 232482.1)
You need to install and configure it in an ORACLE_HOME on a machine somewhere then you can use database links from to connect to it and select from non-Oracle databases.
Have a look at these notes depending on the platfrom you plan to use -
How to Setup DG4ODBC on Linux x86 32bit (Doc ID 466228.1)

How to Setup DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on 64bit Windows Operating Systems (Doc ID 1266572.1)
As I said in my earlier update if SQL*Server is your non-Oracle database then an standalone install on Windows is the best option to be able to use the Microsoft ODBC driver, although there is now a MS ODBC available on Linux x86-64 bit.
Please read through the notes I have referred to because they should have the information you need.

Issue with Engineer Multidimensional Model from Oracle Model

Here is the scenario:
1. Created logical star schema model including a dimension with nested subtypes (SuperTypeEntity1 -> Subtype 1 -> Nested Subtype 2)
2. Forward engineer to Relational model using Single Table implementation
3. Create Oracle 11g physical model definitions for the star
4. Define dimension, levels, and hierarchy in physiclal model
5. Create new multidimensional model, right click menu and execute "Engineer from Oracle Model"
Result:
Model and diagram built with correct dimension, levels, level attributes, hierarchy
Problem: The entity that the dimension levels are related to is the subtype entity that appears first alphabetically! What it should do is be related to the SuperTypeEntity since I used the Single Table implementation (IMO). I can manually change the property to pick the SuperType but then it loses the assignments for the Level Key and the Descriptive Attributes (which were defined in the physcial miodel) so I have to manually repopulate those properties.
Associated problem: Since I tend to do things incrementally (define a few dimensions at a time), everytime I re-run the engineering utility, it resets the dimension back to the wrong subtype everytime. (I like the fact that I can rebuild the multidimensional model iteratively to incorporate changes, but in this case it would be nice to "lock in" my manual changes).
My only work around at this point is to either only run the engineering utility once (which is pretty impractical) or temporarily prefix my super type entity with an "A" so it always comes up first in the list until I am done with all my iterations.

Hi Kent,
dimensional model is not well suited to use entity hierarchies.
I can manually change the property to pick the SuperType but then it loses the assignments for the Level Key and the Descriptive Attributes (which were defined in the physcial miodel) so I have to manually repopulate those properties.It seems all your key and descriptive attributes are in SuperTypeEntity1 (the root of hierarchy). How to proceed if some attributes (key +descriptive) are in subtypes, should SuperType be set as level entity again?

Error: ORA-03113 while executing complex java code from Oracle PL/SQL

Hi,
I am trying to execute a complex java code from Oracle PL/SQL. The classes were resolved successfully. But in the middle of execution, I am getting the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
begin
ERROR at line 1:

Is there a way to debug the Java classes loaded into oracle? Or is there any utility to find out why the connection was lost?
Regards,
Saravana

Hi Saravana:
You could use simply System.out.println(..) at your Java code and see the output at the .trc files generated for your Oracle session.
Or better than this adding Java Util Logging messages at your code, to see how to use JUL API at the OJVM please see this blog post [Using JUL API inside the OJVM|http://marceloochoa.blogspot.com/2007/11/getting-logging-entering-exiting-and.html].
Best regards, Marcelo.
PD: ora-0600 generally are associated with RDBMS bugs, but these bugs can be bypassed by replacing the code which throws the exception by other with a workaround.

Issue in moving files from data fodler to processed folder in background

Hi All,
I am facing one issue in moving files from data fodler to processed folder in case of background execution.
When i am executing the file in the foreground, i can move the file from Data folder to processed folder. I am using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE FM to move the file from data folder to processed folder. I can see the file in processed folder once the program is executed.
But in case of executing the same program in background, it is giving me the error "Failed to move the file to processed folder" in the spool of SM37 and i can see the file still laying in data folder.
I tried to check other programs which acesses the same folder as the above program, whether they are able to move. They are able to move the file to processed fodler successfully both in foreground and background mode.
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Deepa

How to call a BPEL process from Oracle Apps Java Concurrent program

Hello,
I need to trigger a BPEL process from Oracle Apps. Can anybody tell me how to do that? I have two triggering option--
1. On button click from a Form 6i screen
2. Using Java Concurrent program.
Thanks in advance.
Debkanta

I am not sure how concurrent program works, but may be one of the way might work out, let me know if Java Concurrent Program works a bit different way
- [if async] Through concurrent program, you can insert message token to db or aq, and BPEL can be instantiated from there
or
- If it supports pure java call, then you can look at multiple documents (e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/pdf/orabpel-Tutorial7-InvokingBPELProcesses.pdf) to invoke your process
- You can also use oracle db utility to invoke soap operation and get the result back
