How to connect to Essbase cubes from Cognos

Hi
We have Cognos 8.4 installed in Server A & Essbase 9.3.1 in Server B.
How do I access the essbase cubes from Cognos?
Do I have to install smartView or Excel add on the cognos server?
or
Can I install Framework manager in the Essbase server and have this done?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Error encountered while loading data into an Essbase cube from oracle DB

Hi All,
I am trying to load data into an Essbase cube from Oracle db. Essbase is installed in an 64 bit HP-UX machine and oracle database on HP -UX 11.23 B server. While performing the above I am getting the below error messages:
K/INFO - 1021013 - ODBC Layer Error: [08001] ==> [[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver][Oracle]ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

OK/INFO - 1021014 - ODBC Layer Error: Native Error code [1034] .
ERROR - 1021001 - Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information.
Can you please help me out in identifying the issue, as why it could have occured , because of network problem or is there anything related to databse?
Regards,
Priya

The error is related to Oracle, I would check that it is all up and running
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application

Hi
How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application. where can we provide the code to connect to database.?
Thank You.

Hi,
You need to create Java Bean model. The bean is a typical java bean with default constructor, getter and setter. You can have additional methods for query etc. The attributes in the class will be your model node and attributes.
However you need to configure the connection and create JNDI using visual administrator before writing the code.
You can also consider writing Session EJB with oracle and using them in WD.

How to connect iseries green screen from java program

how to connect iseries green screen from java program to get the data in the DB files ,here the DB is DB2/400

Just some Friday fun. Use the telnet program that comes with Windows and supports VT escape sequences.

Dynamically connect to multiple Essbase cubes from 1 adapter

Hi Guys,
i have 14 Essbase cubes (containing the same dimensions).
What i like to accomplish is that based on the selected location in the POV an essbase cube is selected..
I've updated the connect action with:
If RES.pstrLoc = "SampleGreece" Then
                    objHW.Connection.PstrDatabase = "TstGRE"
               ElseIf RES.pstrLoc = "SampleSpain" Then
                    objHW.Connection.PstrDatabase = "TstSPA"
               Else
                    objHW.Connection.PstrDatabase = API.DataWindow.DBTools.fGlobalOptionGet(API.IntBlockMgr.IntegrationMgr.PstrSysKey & "DBName").Value
               End If
And this works fine for the first location..
However, when i change the pov to another location the 'browse for target value' still points to the first one. After re-logon it works fine for the new location.
It looks like its stored in some kind of cache memory so i'm looking for a method to clear this cache or to reconnect while changing the POV.
It's FDM and Essbase 11.1.1.3
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Tony,
thanks for your reply...
I thought about that as well but the 14 cubes (countries) are allowed to add level 0 members so in the mapping table i need to point to the correct Essbase cube as well..
I wasn't able to find any script that is triggered while updating the mapping (by clicking browse for target value)..
So adjusting the connect does solve my problem partially since there's some kind of cache that i need to refresh..
Do you know if this is possible?
Otherwise i have to go for the multiple adapter solution.
Kind regards,

To start with Oracle by Example is one the best source:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hyp_ana/ess11.1.1.htm
It contains proper audio/video lessons as well.
Hyperion Essbase provides powerful analytical processing to fulfill a broad spectrum of business performance management needs across all levels and functional areas of business. Information is stored in multiple dimensions and hierarchies that provide a concise and intuitive application model, because they define multiple views of information in the same way users organize, navigate and select information for analysis. It means business understanding plays a vital role in heading towards Essbase.
Essbase has our very own Calc scripts, No doubt it becomes easy for you to learn it if you have prior programming experience. Not so hard but its fun. Its really exciting how you extract information from the data, which the help of such a stong tool.
Best of Luck.

How to connect to oracle ebs from an external software

Hi!
I want to develop an integration for oracle EBS. Therefor I'm looking for ways how to connect to the EBS and for a repository of functions which can be called from an external program. I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to ask but I could not find anything yet so I'm trying here.
Are there any standard connectors for the EBS provided by Oracle?
Thanks,

Oracle Applications Architecture is a framework for multi-tiered, distributed computing that supports Oracle Applications products. In this model, various servers are distributed among multiple levels/tiers as follows:
- The Desktop Tier --> Web browser with Jinitiator or Sun JRE
- The Application Tier --> Web, Forms, Reports, Admin, and Concurrent servers
- The Database Tier --> Oracle Enterprise Edition Database
The Application tier is the layer which is responsible for:
- Hosting the various servers that process the business logic
- Managing communication between the desktop tier and the database tier
So, in order to connect to the database, you can either access the application tier, or connect directly to the database. I do not think it is possible to communicate with the application services from some other application. Therefore, you would need to connect to the database directly which can be achieved as explained in my previous reply. There is no such API which can be used to open/close a database connection. Oracle E-Business Suite is just a database with number of schemas and objects which are tightly integrated.
More details about Oracle E-Business Architecture can be found in:
Oracle Applications Concepts

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

How to connect two different tables from different server?

Dear all expert,
I need to develop a report where i need to connect 2 different tables from 2 different servers. For examples:
BUT000 tables from CRM and KNKK from R3.
Is it possible to do so? Because i try to link these 2 tables together and when i preview the report, it run very slow and sometime it hang. I did not get any result.
Thank You.

Moved to SAP Integration kit forum
Appears you are using SAP data sources.
And yes you can but the linked field types must match and be able to be converted into the WHERE portion of the SQL. Click on Database, Show SQL... and see if there is one. If not CR can't figure out how to so it brings all data client side and filters on the second pass.
Thank you

How to connect to a Unix from Crystal Reports running on windows?

Any idea on how to connect from windows Crystal Reports X1 client to a Unix box
file directoriesu2026 
 
Any suggestions would be much appreciatedu2026 

Edited by: DarkNight on Nov 13, 2009 10:42 AM

Hi Darknight,
What is it you want to find once you are connected? Since you posted this in the Database Connectivity forum I assume you want to connect to some DB or flat file on that server? If it's a DB then use the client to connect from windows. If it's a flat file then you should be able to use whatever connection utility you use to see the file system from windows. I don't know Unix so not sure but need more details.
Thank you
Don

How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/visual-studio/overview/index-097110.html
Let me know if that helps.
