Importing XMLA Metadata

Hi,
I am trying to import XMLA metadata into OBIEE. I get the error below. Oracle BI Administration Tool works fine with Oracle data sources.
Oracle BI Administration Tool
[nQSError: 46028] Unable to get the DLL path for the CLI XMLA from the NQSConfig.ini file.
OK
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I fixed it!!
I didn'd change NQSConfig.ini file adding ".dll" extension for dll's. The thing is that Admintool only works properly (for example, for importing metadata from XMLA datasources or Essbase) if you launch it from "start button->programs->Oracle Business Intelligence" (Windows) - or equivalent shortcut. It fails if you run "Admintool.exe" file directly.
I will continue connecting OBI 11g to XMLA datasources, Oracle DB and Essbase at an enterprise context. I will report bugs and every consideration in this forum.
Regards,
Julio.

Import OLAP Metadata in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 failing

We are in the process of integrating our existing Oracle OLAP infrastructure with OBIEE 11.1.1.5. We are currently on 11.2.0.1 DB with our 11g cubes in 11.2.0.0.0 compatibility mode.
We have two AWs within the same schema that are tightly integrated (Eg. Q12_AW and Q12_HIST_AW). When I import the metadata using OBIEE 11g BI Administrator, I can only see Q12_HIST_AW but not Q12_AW. Also, when I copy Q12_HIST_AW to OBIEE, it errors out. Looking at java host logs, it looks like I am getting parse errors but not sure how to pursue further on why the parser is failing.

It looks like OBIEE 11.1.1.5 ships with 11.1 jars and since my DB was running 11.2, I faced this issue. The fix is described below for folks who encounter this issue.
The OLAP API jars on the middle tier need to be updated to version 11.2.x. The OLAP API libraries are found in your Oracle Database home: [oracledb home]\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\olap\api\lib. BI EE provides an 11.1.x version of these files in [obiee home]\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\javahost\lib\obisintegration\aw\11g. Backup the BI EE version of the OLAP API jars and replace them with the version provided by the database.

Problem in import of MetaData file in Oracle Warehouse Builder 9.2

My Problem is Related to Oracle WareHouse Builder.My system's configuration is following :-
Machine : P4
Operating System :Windows XP
ORacle : Version 9.2
Oracle WareHouse Builder 9.2
Ram :1GB
SGA Size :Approximately 650M
I have 2 MetaData files which I have to import into OWB.
First file's size is 9M.It got imported properly in 4 minutes without any error.
2nd File's Size is 30M.when
I start importing this MEtaData file.It goes upto 35% in Progress Bar.But after that it does not show any improvement.
I have left the machine running with this option upto 24 hours.
But nothing happened .It still shows only 35%.
I have checked log file/Trace file/Alert log files ,but there is no error in these files.
If any body have any solution about it,Please reply ASAP.I am stucked in this problem from last 7-8 days.
Waiting for reply
Thanks & Regards
Harvinder Singh

Thanks for your reply Igor.
As posted the OWB 10.1.0 software is running against a 9.2.0.8.0. database, so OWB still uses DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER in this database. In addition I already tested scheduling a simple job to run an OS command as suggested in note 365539.1 , and job scheduling is working fine.
There are no invalid objects in this database.

Importing the METADATA ONLY using DBMS_DATAPUMP

Hi DBAs,
Using the DBMS_DATAPUMP , how can I import the metadata only for a particular table . Also I dont want to import any associated INDEXES and TRIGGERS. I have the following codes but it is trying to import every thing. Also if the table exist, it is not importing the METADATA rather erroring out.
handle1 := DBMS_DATAPUMP.OPEN('IMPORT','SCHEMA', 'QAXDB.WORLD');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(handle1, 'SCHEMA_EXPR', 'IN (''HR'')');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.SET_PARAMETER(handle1, 'INCLUDE_METADATA', 1);
Thanks

BODS 4.2 Cannot import the metadata table, RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN syntax error

Hi all, we installed BODS 4.2 server to substitute a 4.1, but we are facing the error:
Error: Cannot import the metadata table <name=T001>
RFC CallReceive error <Function /BODS/RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_RUNTIME_FAILURE -(Exception Key: Syntax error in program /BODS/SAPLBODS....
We already tried the solution for when people get the error related to unicode.
Also, we are able to pull data via extractors, it only fails when loading Tables....
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear,
You will have to import the new ABAP Function Group "BODS/BODS".
Here are some details:
Installing Functions on the SAP Server
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services provides functions that support the use of the ABAP, BAPI, and
IDoc interfaces on SAP servers. You will need some or all of these functions in the normal operation
of the software in an SAP environment. These functions perform such operations as dynamically loading
and executing ABAP programs from Data Services, efficiently running preloaded ABAP programs,
allowing for seamless metadata browsing and importing from SAP servers, and reporting the status of
running jobs. Some of these functions read data from SAP NetWeaver BW sources.
You must upload the provided functions to your SAP server in a production environment. It is
recommended that you always upload the functions to your SAP server whether you are in a
development, test, or production environment. The functions provide seamless integration between
Data Services and SAP servers.
The default installation places two function module files for SAP servers in the ...\Data
Services\Admin\R3_Functions\transport directory. You then upload these files to SAP servers
using the SAP Correction and Transport System (CTS) or manually. Using CTS allows for version
control as the functions evolve across releases.
The installation provides two versions of transport files (depending on the server version you are using)
to install the functions on the SAP server. To obtain the names of the latest transport files for installing
or upgrading these SAP server functions, see the readme.txt file
And I've found those files and text files in the local install folder....in:
Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services\admin\R3_Functions
(that's where I've installed it).
There you'll find some descriptive txt as how to proceed.
After installing, it might happen that the executing user is missing some authorizations.
Here my authorizations team helped me by tracing the user and then adding the necessary rights.
Sure hope this will help you.

How to import XMP metadata in pdf

Could you please explain me, how to import XMP metadata in pdf file through "Live Cycle ES"?

Yes, with LiveCycle ES (almost) all services can be invoked from any of the available endpoints (watch folder, EJB, WebService, etc).
In this case since the ImportXMP requires two input files (the PDF and the XMP) you will need to drop a directory containing both of your files into the watch folder (not the individual files). This is because several requests can be dropped into the watch folder at the same time and without the sub directories LiveCycle couldn't tell what XMP when with what PDF.
A com.adobe.idp.Document - AKA: Document - object is one of the common object types used across all LiveCycle products. When you deal with PDFs and many other binary file objects they are stored a Document object. It is more important that you know this when using Workbench, web services or the Java API.
You should have a look at the documentation at: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/001553.html

EIF Export/Import Only Metadata

The following export statement 'export' entire AW with data. And import also imports everything.
exec dbms_aw.execute('export all to eif file ''MYDIR/TEST_OLAP.eif'' api');
exec dbms_aw.execute('import all from eif file ''MYDIR/TEST_OLAP.eif'' api');
Can I only export and import the metadata(like we do XML template) using commands like above?

Just learned... Try below.
jarname_ is the name of the AWM jar. e.g. awm11.2.0.2.0.jar
user is the name of your user. e.g. TESTOLAP
password is the password for your user
url is the url for a node in your RAC cluster. e.g. jdbc:oracle:thin:@myserver:1521:orcl
filename is the name of the XML file to create. e.g. testolap.xml
java -classpath jarname_ oracle.olapi.metadata.util.ExportXML -user user -password password -url url > filename
The java version should be "1.6.0_24".

Import XMP Metadata From File

In Beta4, the Import XMP Metadata From File command would import data found in an xmp file.
In V1, it's not working...or am I missing something.
(I do understand that Export XMP to File will write the data into the image file itself.)
Ideas?
Pete

Here's a sample xmp I created...in case it's wrong..but it was working in B4. <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Toolkit 3.3-016, build -num-, -date-"> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"> <dc:description> <rdf:Alt> <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">: Geese at sunset.

OWB R2 / Paris: importing source metadata (tables) results in LONG error

Hello,
Ik hope anyone knows a solution to this, as I can't find anything on OTN, Metalink and google...
When I create a new module to function as 'source' for my datawarehouse I try to import the table definitions from this schema using the import wizard. The wizard lists the correct tables, views etc. But when I select a table to import as metadata I get the following error: Repository Error Message: ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype.
Odd enough; functions do import.
I've tried recreating the metadata repository and different source schema's to no avail. Even re-importing a target table doesn't work. Besides that, everything works just fine but there are too many source tables to manually insert.
Please help!
Regards.
The complete error is :

Exporting/Importing Transformation metadata

Hello All,
I have a custom written package which we use as a post-mapping process.
I compile this package in the database external to OWB and then I import the definition into OWB. Where it becomes a transformation.
We are currently in Dev and I now want to migrate to Test.
So I tried to export the metadata for this package so I can import it into the Test Design Center. This is because I want everything contained in OWB.
The export appears to work but when I import it into Test (which also seems to work) and try to generate the code it produces an empty file.
Is it possible to export and import the metadata of a custome transformation? If so are there any particular options I should use?
I'm sorry this seems to be a basic task but I can't find anything in the documentation and I wondered if anyone else had come across it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you cannot redesign a package with an import. You will only get the package header, not the body. You must create the custom transformation in the design center and then deploy it to the target database - not the other way round.
Regards,
Detlef

How to import XMP Metadata?

Could you please explain me, how to import XMP metadata in pdf file through "Live Cycle ES"?

> Please give any samples.
As I said, the samples are in the API Reference. All you have to do is look them up.

Import XMP Metadata Kills My Image Edits

I imported a batch of JPGs from a recent trip and happily used LR to rank them, add labels and adjust them in the Develop module. Later, when LR was not running, I used another program to modify some of the embedded meta data in these JPGs (in particular the dates).
On my next visit to LR I used the Import XMP Metadata From File command, hoping to get LR to recognize the modified dates. This turned out to be a big mistake. All my previous ranking, labeling and developing was lost. Oh dear.
I guess I was under the impression that the Import XMP Metadata From File command would synchronize the metadata in the files with the metadata in the database. It appears to have simply replaced the database values with what was in the file. So is this a bug or did I just misunderstand the feature?

Last history state? See
Loading metadata resets Develop settings.
>I can go back to Develop and "back up" because the history is all there, but this would have to be done file by file,

Import GPS metadata info into Lightroom

How do I import GPS metadata info into Lightroom from either my camera or from disk? I'm using lightroom 3.2. It shows up in CS5 Bridge, why not in Lightroom?
oracle 52

I downloaded the plug-in and used the metadata file preset for geo-tagging plus all the others in Adobe Lightroom 3 prior to "import" using the "Add" submenu. Only under the geo-tagging preset in Metadata did I see the "labels" of latitude, longitude, etc. However, the metadata for each of the photos for these labels were blank. Yet, when viewing these photos on Nikon VX from which the photos was imported shows the correct GPS coordinates. Why isn't this data being displayed in Lightroom as it appears from the original file on my hard drive?

OMB plus Creating Locations Modules And Importing the Metadata?

Hi All,
First of all I would like to thank you all of you in advance for all your time and concern. I have serious of questions and I will ask them in 3 different portions as they are slightly different.
How can I implement the steps below using OMB plus? If you could provided sample script and notation it will be highly appreciated.
-- Creating an Oracle Location for a Schema and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
-- Importing the metadata for all the objects in this Schema in to this module.
For example,
You have a schema called ORACLE_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other. Then I need to import all the metadata for all the objects in this ORACLE_SRC schema. During this import all the preserve statements should be unchecked. And I need to accomplish all these using OMB plus and TCL scripting.
-- Creating an Non Oracle (SQL server 2005) Location for a database and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
-- Importing the metadata for all the objects in this Schema in to this module.
For example,
You have a schema called SQLSERVER_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other. Then I need to import all the metadata for all the objects in this SQLSERVER_SRC schema. During this import all the preserve statements should be unchecked. And I need to accomplish all these using OMB plus and TCL scripting.
-- Creating an Flat File Location for a folder structure and Registering it
-- Creating an Module and relating it to the location that was created.
For example,
You have a schema called FLATFILE_SRC. I need to create the location and module for this schema and tie them each other.
Thanks again for all your help and concern!
Kind Regards,
Mike

In addition to the performance issue above I have faced an extremely more important problem. When I have used the same logic for importing Materialized views I am getting an error at the last step of the script. It is exactly the same case also for EXTERNAL_TABLE objects. TABLE and VIEW objects are fine. OMBIMPORT command throw the error message below.
PUB04201: Encountered an internal fatal error during processing of oracle module XXX_DMY_DWPROD_TST: unsupported obj type.
I would like to mention that MATERIALIZED_VIEW is the object name I took from OWB scripting Reference guide. I have tried couple other naming conventions too but it didn't work.
Strange thing is If I were to change MATERIALIZED_VIEW to TABLE it works but the materialized view gets imported into 'Tables' folder under the module.
Please help?
