Installation of Oracle Discoverer for PeopleSoft and Oracle apps(11.5.10)

Hello Gurus,
I hope I am in the right forum. I have been assigned to install Oracle Discoverer for Oracle ERP (11.5.10). We currently have a Oracle Discoverer environment for Peoplesoft. My questions are follows.
1. Can I use the existing Oracle Discoverer which is used to get PeopleSoft data for Oracle Applications (11.5.10) ?? This way I avoid installing another copy of Discoverer. In Future, if we could use the existing technology for other Databases.
2. If I go in for a new install of Oracle Discoverer, what is that I need to install ? I am guessing, there should be
1. Desktop application on the client
2. Do I need to install anything on the server ?
3. I will have a Oracle Discoverer database
I guess 1. (Desktop application) would be installed on all desktops ? Is there a web based thingy ?? For 2 and 3 I would require the DBA's to help me out.
Would anyone have a high level diagram of the things that go in for installation ? I would really appreciate if you could send it to kiranramachandra at yahoo dot com.
Thanks folks
Kiran

Hi,
1. No, you don't need to reinstall Discoverer, you can just connect to the new database provided you have updated the TNSNames.ora file. However, before you can connect with Discoverer Desktop you will need to use Discoverer Admin to create a new Apps mode EUL in the Applications Database.
2. You will need a client installation of Discoverer (Admin and Desktop). If you want to use the web based Discoverer Plus and Viewer tools you will need to a Oracle Application Server installation. If you are installing Discoverer 10g then you should install the Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition. But depending on your version and configuration you may need to install other tools.

  • Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle

    Hi Gurus
    I Need your help Please
    I need to get Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle.
    I found a document from NetApp that helped a lot about the structure.
    But what I donu2019t know and canu2019t find anywhere is sizing for the volumes and Qtrees.
    I really need some guidelines on sizing these below:
    FlexVol saplog
    /usr/sap/SID
    /usr/sap/trans
    /sapmnt/SID
    /home/SIDadm
    /oracle/SID
    /oracle/SID/origlogA
    /oracle/SID/origlogB
    /oracle/SID/oraarch
    /oracle/SID/sapreorg
    /oracle/SID/sapbackup
    /oracle/SID/saparch
    FlexVol sapdata
    /oracle/SID/sapdata1
    /oracle/SID/sapdata2
    /oracle/SID/sapdataN
    FlexVol mirrlogs
    /oracle/SID/mirrlogA
    /oracle/SID/mirrlogB
    Thanks and appreciate your help

    > I have gone through the Inst Guide and I was surprised to see only 50 MB for Oracle software directory ?
    Where did you read that?
    > The sizing given in Installation guide is for typical setup or do we need to size as per our requirement ?
    The sizing give there is for the initial system setup. It does not contain customer specific requirements.
    The usual process is:
    - you contact your hardware vendor
    - you use http://service.sap.com/quicksizer together with him and fill in the data
    - the hardware vendor will offer you the storage and the machines for the setup
    - the vendor configures with you the storage and the necessary filesystem layout based on that sizing
    Each customers setup is different and requires the experience and knowledge from the respective hardware vendor how to set up the system so it performs well.
    You can follow the suggestions given here, this will be enough for the initial setup but the system will grow. This is not taken into account in the installation guide because it's customer specific.

  • Oracle Provider for Membership and Roles not running

    Hi Everyone,
    I ran the ASP.Net Configuration and select the 'Provider' tab.
    When I choose 'Select a single provider for all site management data', only AspNetSqlProvider is shown.
    When I choose 'Select a different provider for each feature (advanced)', I see the Oracle Provider for Membership and Roles. I select both then try to enter 'Security' tab. It will hang then come back with this error:
    "There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. "

  • Oracle License for SE and SE1

    Dear All,
    Just confused after reading multiple documents that Oracle license for SE and SE1 is based on Sockets and not on CPU cores like EE.
    So my question is If have 2 socket motherboard and I install 4 CPU cores on these 2 sockets. How should i obtain license from Oracle for SS and EE?
    Like only for 2 sockets into per socket license cost for SE? (2 CPU cost for SE)
    But for the same machine and for EE edition I have to buy license for 4 CPU cores? (4 CPU cost for EE)
    Is this understanding correct?
    Also please guide me how to license Logical standby in case if reports are running from Logical standby and if this logical standby is ONLY brought into use when production server fails. What is the difference?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards, Imran

    by my understanding, Oracle for linux is free for development purpose only. you can use it as long as you are using it only for development. howver, you have to buy proper licenses if you want to deploy it in a production env.
    Oracle 8i is several hundreds Meg in size. depending on your internet connection, you may want to request a free CD.

    Hi,
    I had PostGresql database installed on my Linux machine. And have MS Access database from Windows 98 connect to the PostGresql database. For some reason it is too slow. So I decided to try Oracle for Linux, and I heard peoples told me that Oracle for Linux is free. I had used Oracle in windows environment, and It's very fast. So probably oracle on linux machine and have MS Access connect to it using ODBC should be fast too.
    My point is Oracle for Linux is free? and for how long, and for how many concurrent users? To install it, should I download it from the Oracle web site, or should I install it from a CD-ROM?

  • Running Tuxedo8.0 on oracle 8.1.6 and oracle 10.2.0.2.0 on the same machine

    Hello,
    I have oracle 8.1.6 64 bit and oracle 10.2.0.2.0 64 bit
    running on the same hp UX 11i 64-bit machine
    I have installed Tuxedo 8.0 32bit on the same machine.
    I have a working tuxedo 8.0 environment running against the 8.1.6 oracle
    database
    in the Tuxedo .../udataobj/RM file I have for the 8.1.6 environment the string
    Oracle_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib -lclntsh
    In oracle 8.1.6 home there are directories lib and lib64
    but in oracle 10.2.0.2.0 home there are directories
    lib and lib32
    what string should I use for the oracle 10.2.0.2.0?
    Oracle_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 -lclntsh maybe???
    Must the string in the RM file for oracle always begin with the string
    Oracle_XA?
    If so is, possible at all to run the the binaries of one Tuxedo installation
    against two different databases versions because the RM strings are similar in
    the beginning but in 8.1.6 refer to the lib directory and in 10.2.0.2.0 refer
    to the lib32 directory ?
    Or do I need to have two installations of tuxedo8.0 binaries on the machine?
    I have tried to for 10.2.0.2.0 the line (the Ora10_XA is only a try...)
    Ora10_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 -lclntsh
    in the RM file but when starting tuxedo I get:
    $ cat /mnt04/edu/ressu/bin/xa_NULL06092006.trc
    ORACLE XA: Version 10.2.0.1.0. RM name = 'Oracle_XA'.
    111035.16584.0:
    xaogetmod: XAER_INVAL; Invalid xa_info string.
    Any comments on the matter appreciated.
    rgds,
    Jyri

    Jyri,
    The information before the first colon in the $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file is
    only used by the buildtms, buildserver, and buildclient programs to find the
    line corresponding to the value of the -r option, so it should be OK to
    specify different values for Oracle 8.1.6 and Oracle 10.2.0.2.0.
    The information specfied in the OPENINFO string in the *GROUPS section of
    the TUXCONFIG file must be of the form
    OPENINFO="ORACLE_XA:Oracle_XA+...."
    The strings ORACLE_XA and Oracle_XA cannot be changed, except for case. The
    "...." can be replaced with parameters such as
    SqlNet=NAMESesTm=100+LogDir=.+MaxCur=5 or whatever is used in your
    applicatino. The "xaogetmod: XAER_INVAL: Invalid xa_info string" error you
    are getting is due to an incorrect OPENINFO parameter.
    If you are running a 32-bit version of Tuxedo you must link with the
    ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 library on 10gR2; if you are using a 64-bit version of
    Tuxedo you must link with ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib library. The procedure is
    similar for Oracle 8 except that it seems that the lib directory may be the
    32-bit library in that version of Oracle.
    32-bit and 64-bit binaries cannot be mixed under a single TUXDIR, but it is
    possible to use multiple RMs or multiple versions of the same RM on the same
    machine.
    The syntax of the open string and the list of libraries to link with is
    specified in the "Oracle Database Application Developer's Guide -
    Fundamentals" in the "Developing Applications with Oracle XA" chapter.

  • Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit on the same server

    Hi,
    I have a Windows 2008 server 64-bit with Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit installed on different directories (D:\Oracle and D:\Oracle32)
    Is it possible to define for certain applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 64-bit Oracle Client
    and for other applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 32-bit Oracle Client
    Once I installed the Oracle Client 32-bit (Oracle Client 64-bit version was already installed) and restarted the server I performed a TNSPING and it defaulted to the Oracle Client 32-bit installation path
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Hello,
    When you install a new client on a server, it will update the PATH variable, and add the ORACLE_HOME\bin path to it, at the first place. That explains why the tnsping use the last installed ORACLE_HOME.
    What you can do if you want only to change the default path to the tnsnames is to set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to the path where the tnsnames you want to use is located. You can modify this variable in your application if you want to use another tnsnames.
    If you want switch from 32 bits to 64 bits client, then you have to modify the PATH variable.
    Hope this will help.
    Best regards,
    Sylvie

  • Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

    Hello Gurus,
    What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
    To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
    If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
    Great Thanks,

    Hi Tim,
    I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
    So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

  • "Oracle BPM  Suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components

    Dear Friends,
    I am very confusing about the "Oracle BPM suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" and would like your help on explanation as the following :
    I have learn that In order to use "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" require to have "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components to install first. Does it means that :
    1) When we buy "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , we automatically get the "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components as well ?
    2) IS it correct that these " these Oracle SOA Suite 11g components" are included :
    (a) Oracle BAM
    (b) Oracle Business Rules
    (c) Oracle BPEL Manager
    (d) Oracle Service Bus
    (e) Oracle Complex Event Processing
    3) Do we have a right to use all of these components listed in (2) ?
    4) Then the answers in (3) is "YES", then Is it correct when the customer buy the "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , they no need to buy "Oracle SOA 11g" any more when they would like to implements that applications based on SOA in the future (without using BPM) ?
    5) What IF , the customer would like to start with "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" product and decide to buy only Oracle SOA Suite 11g first ; then later on in the future they would like to implement BPM projects in the future. Can you upgrade "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" to include "Oracle BPM Sutie 11g" and pay only the price different ?
    I hope you can help providing the answers to these questions. THank you very much in advance.
    Best Regards
    Pearapon S.

    This is a question best answered by your Oracle reseller or Oracle account manager to give you all the details but I hope this brief answer helps:
    - The Unified Business Process Management Suite (BPM Suite 11g) includes: BPM Studio, BPM Composer, BPMN Service Engine and Workflow Extensions, BPM Process Spaces, and BPM Process Analytics.
    - BPM Suite 11g requires the licensing of SOA Suite 11g for Oracle Middleware which requires a license for WebLogic Suite.
    - You can license SOA Suite 11g now and license BPM Suite 11g later.
    Since the products are layered, I don't see this cutting into SOA sales at all. My personal view is that BPM on top of SOA is brilliant since it provides easy integration between human and automated tasks, builds on many of the SOA concepts that are key for a successful BPM implementation (functional, not the Oracle product), and uses the same IDE. The synergies extend past easy use of services; the same business rules and human workflow components are used between both products.
