How to secure data transmission from Essbase Excel add-in to Essbase Server

I have a requirement to secure the data transmission (encrypt) the data transmission from the Essbase excel add in on the client machine to the Essbase server. I have confirmed with Oracle support that the excel add-in and the API only transmit the data in binary from with no encryption.
I wanted to see if anyone has implemented this before?
Thanks,
Mike

Technical support gave you the correct answer, it is
not supported. You might check with Tim Tow
http://www.appliedolap.com to see if either the
Dodeca or ActiveOlap products support encryption.Glenn is correct in that Oracle doesn't support it. More specifically, the Essbase server itself does not support it.
The other products mentioned in this thread, Smartview, Spreadsheet Services, Dodeca and ActiveOLAP, all can talk to the middle tier via https and are thus encrypted through that portion of the transaction. However, the communication from the middle tier, Analytic Provider Services in the case of System 9, talks to Essbase via TCP/IP unencrypted. If your middle tier/Essbase server connections are not 'sniffable', then essentially they are secured (albeit not encrypted).

How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1

Hi All,
How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1 for ASO cube.Are there any rules and limitations for that.
Do we need to create any data source connection for this purpose. If there please let me know the dteps to create that connection.
Regards

Yes you need to create one DSN connection and you have to use DSN name and login details at the time of building/loading of the outline.
Create DSN
Goto Administrative tools -> DataSources (ODBC) and add the DSN name and specify the Server name of SQL and login details and database.
goto data prep editor and click on File Menu and Click on Open SQL option Next window opens.
There you have to enter the details of the DSN connection and SQL query to build/load.
Thanks,

Is CS6 capable of 'Data Mapping' from an excel based database?

I have CS6 and want to know if it is capable of data mapping from an excel based database.
Basically i am using inDesign to create new Organisational Charts for my company. i have 23 seperate documents created, all of which conatin; 1 image box and 2 text boxes per each employee in that particular department.
I want each document from inDesign to point at the database and pull in the correct details to each box within that document.
I am aware of the 'place' feature but all this does is allow to you to select a range of cells and dump that in the document randomly.
i have tried ringing adobe and they ponted me to here.
I am a man on the edge with this... someone please help. Even if its to say 'NO' inDesign does not support this feature.
Thanks in advance, Danny.

Well, without more information on your data, the layout in ID, and how you expect to connect them, as Mike has already said, it's pretty hard to tell you what out of the box capabilities ID has that will work, if any, or where to point you to other commercial add-on products if they exist, or even to suggest a scripted solution, though my current reaction is that you are looking at some sort of XML workflow, which is well outside my own comfort zone.
ID is a very complex program that has many more capabilities than what are "built-in" in the standard release versions. One of it's greatest features is the ability to expand what you can do through scripts or plugins. This forum is full of free advice, but very few participants are willing to to spend more than an hour designing a custom solution that will not be useful to anyone else unless they are compensated. The people who respond here are professionals, like you, who need to make a living. If I were paid for the time I spend here handing out free solutions and advice I wouldn't need my regular design business anymore.
If you feel a feature should be included in the general release at no additional cost, please ask Adobe to do so: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
You need to understand, though, that Adobe is a big corporation that budgets the time that developers can spend on new features, and most new things that are added are features that many users have asked for, and usually over the course of several versions (long document users are still waiting for improved footnotes, unchanged since they were introduced), so unless this is a "killer" new idea that will benefit thousands of users you are unlikely to see Adobe add it any time soon, if at all.

Hi,
You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
User user = bom.getUser();
char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.

How to make data flow from one application to other in BPEL.

Hi All,
I am designing work-flow of my application through BPEL(JDeveloper), I am making different BPEL projects for different functions, like sales manager got the order from sales person and sales manager either approve it or reject it, if he approve it it goes to Production manager and he ships the goods, now I want to keep sales person, sales manger,production manager in seperate BPEL files and want to get the output of sales person to sales manager and sales manager to production manager please help me in dong this.
I was trying to make partner link in Sales manager of sales person and getting the input from there. I dont know this is right even or not, if it is right I dont know how to make data flow from one application to other.
Experience people please guide.
Sales Person -----> Sales Manager ----> Production Manager
Thanks
Yatan

Yes you can do this.
If you each integration point to be in different process, you have to create three BPEL process.
1. Create a Async BPEL process 'A' which will be initiated when sales person creates the order.
2. From BPEL process 'A' call a ASync BPEL process 'B' which has the approval flow. Depending on the input from process 'A' the sales manager will review the order in workflow and approve or reject and send the result back to process 'A'.
3. Based on the result from workflow, invoke the Sync BPEL process 'C', where you can implement the shipping logic.

Data Migration from MS Excel Sheet to Oracle 9i Database

Can anyone please help me to perform a data migration from MS excel sheet to Oracle 9i Database. I have an excel sheet from which i need to move data to the database. One of the columns in the sheet posseses multiple new line characters, and which causes a problem while migrating data with the help of SQL Loader. I would like to know whether any utility is available to migrate data directly from MS Excel sheet to the database, or it would he really helpfull for me , if anyone provide me with an alternate solution.

I think Christian's suggestion will work for easily and quickly.
1) create table link of Oracle target table in MS Office's ACCESS thru ODBC;
2) from Access screen, you may easily dump the excel data into the linked table.
This is very easy and feasible ways. Don't bother to find other ways. The other ways will need you to clear the unwanted carriage return signs first.

How to secure an iPad from improper use?

How to secure an iPad from improper use?
Hi everyone - We are thinking of providing our sales reps with iPads to use as product catalogs (by opening a PDF file) however we wish to restrict them from doing anything else. Is there an app or something which would enable us to restrict the tablet in this way?
Thanks a lot

The only option would be to set up the iPad to open a PDF reader app as the sole app in Guided Access:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5509
That's the only way you can limit an iPad to using only a single app. That would seem to make the iPad rather overkill, if all you want is for them to be able to read PDFs. Something like one of the base-model Kindles might be better suited to the task.
Regards.

how to restore data file from back up on iPhone 5 docs to go

If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted. You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open. If it does, you're off and running. What methods have you tried?

How to remove an instance from essbase cluster

I installed the new Hyperion 11.1.2, and I reconfigure the essbase server, it is added to the EssbaseCluser_1, now I have set up 2 instances for this cluster. Now I want to remove an instance from the cluster, how to do it with MaxL or what ever?

DATABASEInstance and Database are different things, be careful before using this statement after 10g :)
[from-documentation]
An Oracle server consists of an Oracle database and an Oracle instance.
The database consists of physical files such as:
The control file where the database configuration is stored
The redo log files, which have information required for database recovery
The data files where all data is stored
The parameter file, which contains the parameters that control the size and properties of an instance
The password file, which contains the superuser (SYSOPER and SYSDBA) passwords
The instance consists of memory structures such as System Global Area (SGA) and Program Global Area (PGA) and background processes that perform tasks within the database as well as the server processes that are initiated for each user session.
The size and structure of an Oracle database and instance impact performance. The physical structure of the database impacts the I/O to hard disks. It is therefore important to both size and place the physical files in such a way that I/O across disks is distributed evenly and waits are minimized. The size of the various memory areas of the instance directly impacts the speed of SQL processing.

How to get data back from an action ?

Hello,
Would it be possible to get data back from an action (out of the question EO_MESSAGE & ET_FAILED_KEY )?
For example we got an order with order positions and we need a "function" to e.g. count all positions. Because of Performance the function should not be processed each time the order is changed, read or a position is added. Instead the function should be processed only if it was called explicitly.
Is it possible to create a kind of action which is actually counting all entries and export the number of them?
How to mark a parameter in is_parameters as exporting?
Is this just done by (naming-) convention?
What is the preferred way to have “methods” with returning/exporting values?
Regards,
Lorenz

Hello Lorenz,
As you have already figured out , the Action API provides you with only the messages and failed keys if any.
Post action execution , you can always execute a retrieve or retrive by association , to get the latest buffer snapshot , which of course would include the changes that you have made in your action.
If you want to ensure that users have explict control on execution of your "fucntion", then of course , you should model it as an action on the BO.
The parameter is_parameters is an IMPORTING parameter. You CANNOT use it to export anything back from the action. For importing , you can of course have any structure to use as the is_paramaters , which you model as the action parameter structure which modelling your BO action.
From an external entity the only way to interact with a BO is by consuming the BO services and you are bound by the BOBF standard interfaces. Any and all data you require needs to be modelled as node attributes ( persistent or transient ) and fetched using the RETRIEVE, RETRIEVE_BY_ASSOCIATION or QUERY services.

How to accept date parameter from java if SP have the datatype as DATE

Dear Gurus,
I have written SP as below
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc1
No NUMBER,
StartDate DATE,
EndDate DATE
AS
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Start Date ='||to_char(StartDate,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Start Date ='||to_char(EndDate,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'));
END;
If I want to pass date from java code to above SP. Then how to send Date to SP from Java code.
Means if I print that date in SP then it should be print as it is what i sent from java.
e.g. Start Date = 2008-02-01 00:00:00
End Date = 2008-02-01 23:59:59
Could any one help me in above issue.
Regards
Sanjeev Atvankar

Yes, because there is no default date format in oracle for date value having time part.
Suppose your agreed date format between java and pl/sql is DDMMYYYYHH24MISS.
You create procedure as:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc1
No NUMBER,
StartDate VARCHAR2,
EndDate VARCHAR2,
AS
v_start_date date := to_date(startdate,'DDMMYYYYHH24MISS');
v_end_date date := to_date(enddate,'DDMMYYYYHH24MISS');
BEGIN
/* YOU can use local pl/sql date variables inside your plsql code*/
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Start Date ='||to_char(StartDate,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Start Date ='||to_char(EndDate,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'));
END;
