How to create a link to base oracle olap express(ODBC DATA source Name)

hello,
How can I create a datasource name, because I want to connect to Express base with Business Objects.
thank you for your help

Express does not support ODBC access, it only supports a proprietary interface called SNAPI. There was a way to connect and pass data backwards and forwards using VB but that was about it. No ODBC connectivity.
If you want to access multi-dimensional data using Business Objects I would recommend upgrading from Express to Oracle OLAP 10gR2. There might be licensing issues here so I would talk to your Oracle account manager first because I am not sure customers can migrate from Express to Oracle OLAP for free.
Once you have moved your data from Express to OLAP 10gR2 (the steps to do this are all in the manual and it should be a painless process) then you can use a utility from Business Objects to create the required relational views over your OLAP cubes and dimensions. This will allow you to access your multi-dimensional data via BO's Webi client. I think the utility to create the views can be provided free of charge from BO, however, I think you need to have access to their support website to download it. But check with your BO account manager.
Hope this helps
Keith

Oracle OLAP as OBIEE Data Source

I've got a couple of questions regarding the use of Oracle OLAP (Analytic Workspace/Cube) as an OBIEE data source.
First: As a general rule when creating a dimension, we create a total roll-up for the dimension i.e. "Total Product", "Total Geog", "Total Customer" etc... Generally, I don't create a total roll-up for time dimensions. When importing metadata from OLAP to OBIEE, OBIEE creates a "Total" level for all dimensions. Now, I understand why OBIEE does that; to support queries that might exclude one or more dimensions. My question is: what is the best method/procedure to deal with the extra "Total" level?
Second: I would appreciate it if someone could explain this error for me: [nQSError: 59137] Filter level YEAR is below the projected level Total on dimension CMP_TIME while an externally aggregated measure is present. (HY000). I understand the words, but have no clue what OBIEE is trying to tell me. This error pops up constantly and I see no rhyme or reason that would cause it. the specific case above occurred when I clicked on the sort icon for a measure included in a report.
Thanks,

Mark,
Thanks for the reply. However, I'm not sure I made myself clear. I have created a "Product" dimension in AWM (Analytic Workspace Manager) in the following structure: Product -> Product Line -> Total Product. Withing the context this hierarchy, "Total Product" is the "Grand Total" Level. When this data is imported into OBIEE using "Oracle OLAP" as a data source, the Product hierarchy is created in the Physical Layer as an "Oracle OLAP Dimension". In the BMM Layer, the hierarchy is structured as: Product -> Product Line -> Total Product -> Total. There are now two "Total" Levels. Naturally only one, the OBIEE generated Total, is defined as "Grand Total". The only child of the Total level is Total Product. I have two hierarchy levels that are the same. So, do we need both? should we keep both? Should a dimension defined within AWM for use in OBIEE NOT include a total level? It's not really a problem, it just doesn't seem to make any sense to have TWO total levels within a hierarchy.
On the second issue, I wish I could provide some detail, but I'm really not sure how I'd do that. That's why I asked for the meaning of the error. What is OBIEE telling me that I'm doing wrong. All I really did was import the metadata, drag it to the BMM Layer, deleted some of the hierarchy level keys, renamed some columns and dragged the stuff over to the Presentation Layer. So, it's pretty much drag-and-drop.
Another example of the error: We have a Category Dimension (Sub Category -> Category -> Category Group -> Model -> All Categories -> Total) and I want to see the top 10 values of a measure by Category by Model. In an Analysis, adding the Model column works fine, just not the best visualization. Move the Model column to "Sections" and all works; move the Model column to Pivot Table Prompts and it errors. Obviously, I'm asking OBIEE to do something it doesn't want to do, so I'm looking for the root cause of the error.
Thanks,

Create view link between two view objects (from programmatic data source)

Hi Experts,
Can we create a link between two view objects (they are created from programmatic datasource ; not from either entity or sql query). If yes how to create the link; ( i mean the like attributes?)
I would also like to drag and drop that in my page so that i can see as top master form and the below child table. Assume in my program i will be only have one master object and many child objects.
Any hits or idea pls.
-t

Easiest way to do this is to add additional transient attributes to your master view object, and then include those additional transient attributes in the list of source attributes for your view link. This way, you can get BC4J to automatically refer to their values with no additional code on your part.

How to create a new DataBase using Oracle 10g Express Edition???

Hello, I am new to Oracle, I am used to Microsoft SQL Server (Enterprise Manager).
Here in Oracle I do not get how do I create a DataBase, and then create tables on it.
could anyone please explain to me how to do it?

A SQL Server database is roughly equivalent to an Oracle schema.
You should rarely need to create a new database. If you do need to create a database, get a 'for fee' edition of Oracle and use the dbca tool (Database Configuration Assistant) to do that. In fact, you are only allowed to have one XE database on the machine.
However, you can create as many schemas in an existing Oracle database as you need. (One schema, owned by userid SYS, is roughly equal to your 'master catalog'.)
You can create other schemas simply by
1) creating a userid that will own the schema (one designated for maintenance of the schema);
2) grant that userid appropriate privileges, such as 'CREATE TABLE', 'CREATE VIEW' as shown in the SQL Reference manual under the GRANT section;
3) provide that userid with a quota in one or more tablespaces (see the CREATE USER command in the SQL Reference manual);
4) create the objects, such as tabels, views, sequences, stored procs and functions, etc. (as in the SQL Reference manual);
5) create the users who will access the objects, and grant them the CREATE SESSION capability (as in the SQL Reference manual);
6) grant access (select, update, execute, etc.) on the schema objects to these users (as in the SQL Reference manual);
7) if desired, create synonyms on the schema objects so the users do not need to use fully qualified syntax such as "SELECT col FROM schema.table;" (as in the SQL Reference manual).
In case you are interested in looking at the SQL Reference manual, it can be found at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1 ;-)

How to create a linked server to SQL in Oracle?

I am able to create a linked server to Oracle in SQL.. But I do not know the steps to create a linked server too SQL in Oracle.
How to create a linked server to SQL in Oracle? After creating the linked server to SQL, I would like to create triggers in Oracle DB to insert records into SQL DB.

There are 2 products in Oracle you can use to link to a MS SQl Server. The first one is for free and it is called Database Gateway for ODBC. With a suitable 3rd party ODBC driver you can connect to any foreign database. The second gateway is our commercial gateway and it is called Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server. It is designed for MS SQl Server connections and more powerful then Dg4ODBC. It know how to map a lot of Oracle functions to SQL Server equivalents and you can also use it to directly call SQL Server procedures or functions. This dedicated SQL server gateway is also able to participate in distributed transactions.
But again, this is a commercial gateway and you have to purchase a license for that second gateway, the Database Gateway for MS SQl Server.

For example I already have these three xml files inserted into the document xmltype table.
These xml files have same schemas. I have attached below.
I want to show all elements/attribute values in xml files to relational view.
Is this possible to create one big relational view to show everything

Urgent: How to create db link in OWB through wizard ? Where is that wizard

Hi,
I am facing problem in finding database link creation wizard in OWB.
Connectors are created. How to use them in creating database link and where is the option to create the database link in OWB?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Amit.

Ola Amit,
You can create database links within the ORACLE Modules you define.
Expand Databases/Oracle and right click on one of the modules.
You will see four tabs. The third will allow you to select or define database links
Select one of the already existing links or create a new one by selecting the Create DB Link button...
This is for the OWB version 10.1.x

How to create popup link in OAF dynamically or declaratively.

Can anybody please help how to create a link as popUp in OAF dynamically or declaratively?

Step 1: Create an OAPopupBean. For example:
OAPopupBean popupBean =(OAPopupBean)createWebBean(pageContext,POPUP_BEAN,null,"myPopup");
//Set the following properties on the pop-up:
popupBean.setID("myPopup");
popupBean.setUINodeName("myPopup");
String popupRegion= "/oracle/apps/fnd/framework/toolbox/labsolutions/webui/TestEmpDetailsRN" ;
popupBean.setRegion(popupRegion);
popupBean.setHeight("130");
popupBean.setWidth("320");
popupBean.setTitle("Test");
popupBean.setType(EMBEDDED_POPUP); /* Embedded type */
Step 2: Select the item (messageStyledText, image, link, or button) on which you want to enable the pop-up, and set the following properties, as shown in this example:
OATableBean tableBean = (OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("ResultsTable");
OAImageBean image = (OAImageBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("UpdateImage");
image.setPopupEnabled(true);
image.setPopupRenderEvent("onClick");
image.setPopupID("myPopup");
Step 3: Add the pop-up as an indexed child of the region that contains the item on which the pop-up is enabled.
Note: If you are enabling a pop-up on an item within a classic table, advanced table or HGrid, then you must add the pop-up and the item on which it is enabled to a layout and add the layout as the indexed child of the table.
In this example, the pop-up is enabled on an image within a table, hence the pop-up is added as a second level indexed child of the table:
OAStackLayoutBean stackLayoutBean = new OAStackLayoutBean();
stackLayoutBean.addIndexedChild(popupBean);
tableBean.addIndexedChild(stackLayoutBean);

How to Create a Link to a Discoverer Workbook in Apps11i?-[solved]

I tried to create a link to a disco workbook in apps 11i using metalink document 278095.1. It seems to be working ok for discoverer which is installed on the same machine as the apps11i is on(because when I clicked on the link which I have created in apps11i, I see a default disco4i welcome page which got installed out of the box with apps11i). But we are using discoverer version 10g which is on a different server. Does anyone has ideas on how to create a link for a disco workbook which is on a different server other than apps11i.
Discoverer version is 10g
Apps version is 11.5.10.2
Thanks in advance

hi Rod,
I did as you said and it seems to be connecting to the right server. But I have one more problem. In metalink document it says I have to enter the following in the Parameters text field of Function form in apps:
workbook=<(workbook identifier from step2) &PARAMETERS=param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value*param_parameter name Two~Parameter Two Value*
But I dont understand what should I have in place of param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value. Is it the name of the parameter given in discoverer, if so can you give me an example of how to write it. Because when I typed the name of the parameter like &PARAMETERS=Client Id, where client Id is the name of the parameter, it is giving me the following error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
Thanks for your help

How To: Create a link to gatewayed content (e.g. in email)

I apologize if this is too basic of a question but I can't find any results after looking for several hours.
I would like to generate a URL in an email that points to the portal and a specific portlet in the portal. The portlet has limited access rights so the URL should cause the portal to go through the login page and then redirect to the portlet. Can anyone point me to the documentation that describes this or give me an example?
Thanks in advance!
Mike

Using the PTARGS might also solve another difficulty I've encountered passing (dynamic) querystring parms to portlets through the gateway. Your example seems to work great for portlets, but now trying to access a Community page containing a portlet to retain branding elements.
For portal pages, should the ObjectID be the pageID (i.e PageID=0 for the default page) or is the ObjectID for a community page some other value (where in PlumDB is this stored) ? I changed the ClassIDView to 514 which should indicate a Community Page but it's still not loading my page. Adding to my confusion, the PTCOMMPAGES table stores the PageID as a negative value.
Here's my example:
http://portalserver/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_0_201_0_514/http%3B/portletserver/ApplicationName/default.aspx?querystring=value
Any thoughts?
re: How To: Create a link to gatewayed content (e.g. in email) Posted by Mike Beniston 5/5/05 9:45:40 AM It turned out that I was pretty close.
If anyone else is interested, here is one way that works.
The PTARGS are _0_userid(leave at 0)_objectid(of portlet)_communityID(if any)_0_ClassIDView(43 = view for portlet)
"http://portalserver/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_348_208_0_43/http://portletserver/ApplicationName/pagename?querystring arguments.
