Installation with external database

I'll submit an RMS request for this, but one of the more annoying things is that if the installation goes "wrong" during the database install (ie, installing to Oracle, or external SYBAS, or SQL), you cannot just "redo" the database part
Rather, it rolls EVERYTHING back and you have to start all over from scratch.
Could we have like a "retry" button or something in case we butter-fingered something to re-enter it?
Also the documentation for Oracle, lists that you should review database information and review SQL scripts
So here I am thinking that the install screen/summary actually gives you this information.
It does not.
Where pray tell, is the database info on the summary? Oh, that's right, it's not there.
SQL scripts? No mention of them at all in the product documentation for Oracle, let alone trying to find them on the install summary.
I know our Oracle folks were quite interested to see what the scripts would actually attempt to do (I know this was a major issue with ZAM and getting Novell to even release the scripts, let alone support them). Seems that mentality has carried over to ZCM.

Serious problems after Mavericks installation with External Drive Lacie P9220.

Experiencing serious problems after Mavericks installation with External Drive Lacie P9220 1TB. Mac Finder totally locked!
I had to format the External hard drive with a Windows PC (fat32), then format again with my IMac (mac Journal.) and hopefully restored data from time machine backup.
So far so good but system looks unstable. Some software were not able to write on the hard drive.Some strange things happens. With Mountain Lion never had an even minor issue.
I read many discussion regarding problems with WD, just wondering if anyone had the same problems with Lacie and if there is any tip to solve the
problem.
Many thanks.
Marco

Thanks very much for your reply.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a solution because the article refers to whom have configured the drive with included software and drivers that came with the drive.
This is not my case, I never used any third party soft ...only OS X disk utility ...

Connecting AIR with external database

Is it possible to connect AIR application to the external database in MySQL technology?

Are you trying to connect to a MySQL database on a web server somewhere? If so, by far the easiest way to do so is to use some sort of application server layer (e.g. PHP, ColdFusion, Java) on the web server, and have the AIR application call the PHP (or whatever) code to get the data. That is the approach that all the links Greg has given you are talking about.
Of course, in order to make that work you need to know enough PHP/Java/ColdFusion to write that middle layer. In the example you're asking about, the information it wants to know is the name of the server that the MySQL database is running on, and the MySQL username and password for the MySQL account that your PHP code is supposed to use. There are tons of resources on the web for writing PHP code that accesses MySQL, so you'll find much more and better information in other places than what you'll find in the Adobe AIR forums.
However, maybe you want to have the MySQL server running directly on the user's computer rather than on a web server somewhere. In that case you would have a few options:
Run a web server and application server (e.g. Apache and PHP) on the user's computer and use those to connect between the AIR application and the MySQL server.
Write Java code to communicate between the MySQL server and the AIR app, and call that code using Merapi (http://merapiproject.net/)
Run the MySQL server on the user's computer and call the server directly from AIR using ActionScript. While there is no built-in support for MySQL in AIR, there is a third-party (open source) library for calling MySQL directly from ActionScript available here: http://code.google.com/p/assql/. I haven't tested it so I have no idea how complete it is, but it's a solution to consider.
However, in all three cases you're depending on some external pieces that have to be installed and loaded separate from your AIR application. (For instance, most users probably don't want a MySQL server running on their computer all the time if they aren't using your AIR app all the time -- so you'd want a way to start and stop the server, which also couldn't be done directly in AIR.) People do write applications that use external resources like this, but it's not the easiest thing to implement.
If you're really wanting to run the database locally, the best solution (assuming it works for your needs) is to use AIR's built in local SQL database engine (based on SQLite). If you've looked at that option already, and found that it doesn't work for you, I'd be interested to know more about what you're trying to accomplish that you can't accomplish with the AIR local database.

Apex - Audit Trail With External Database

I'm currently trying to setup a primitive audit trail that allows me to record create data, create user, update date, update user. I currently have 3/4 however I can't get the username into database as V('APP_USER') is within Apex and the database is in Oracle 10G elsewhere.
Any suggestions or alternative ideas?

f1f7a787-7f56-4451-8300-5a9a0215226b
So v() and apex_application.g_user are unavailable in the trigger code on the external database.
But procedures and package variables from the external database are available on the database running APEX.
What I would do is create a package with a package variable that will hold the apex user. ( in the external database)
Then in application definition > Database session> initialization PL/SQL code set this package variable to the apex user.
Clear the package variable again in the cleanup code.
Using a package variable will mean that the value is aviable during the whole database session but not outside of is.
In apex every page load or submit and following page load is a database session.
Now the package variable will be set when it is a apex user and null when it is a database user.
Using a nvl round the package variable with user as alternative will give the apex user when the action was done by a apex user and the database user when not.

SAP BO Installation with Oracle Database

Hello all,
My client uses SAP R/3 with Oracle database. Now we have to install Business Objects on another machine.
I've read the documentation on Installing Procedures but there are some questions still not clarified.
1. Do I have to install Oracle in the new machine?
2. If not, can I connect BOBJ to the database of the SAP R/3 Server?
3. If I want to have three systems (Like in R/3, Productive, Tests and Development) do I have to install BOBJ in different machines?
Thanks in advance,
Regards

1. you dont have to insall Oracle database at the BO machine side, you just need any database to hold the BO repository.
2. you cant connect directly using BO, only Crystal reports can connect directly to R3 database, you need to have a BW in between.
extract your data into the BW, and let BO connect to BW using the BO integration kit for SAP solutions.
3. no you dont have to have 3 different machines, using one BO machine you connect to them all, but you may need build a BO environment, (Development, Production servers)
good luck

But still got message - "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" at the end. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
My intention of performing FOD schema installation was to follow the tutorial "Database Development with JDeveloper" at http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/databasedevelopment/obe_%20databasedevmt.htm. But I stopped at the last topic "Creating and Debugging PL/SQL Objects in the Database" ->"Running a SQL Script to Create an Object Type" when trying to create a object using script on the page.
This is the script:
------------------------------------------------start
REM
REM Create object ORDER_ITEMS_REC
REM
CREATE or REPLACE type ORDER_ITEMS_REC as object
ORDER_ID NUMBER(15),
LINE_ITEM_ID NUMBER(3),
PRODUCT_ID NUMBER(15),
QUANTITY NUMBER(6),
UNIT_PRICE NUMBER(8,2),
CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(60),
CREATION_DATE DATE,
LAST_UPDATED_BY VARCHAR2(60),
LAST_UPDATE_DATE DATE,
OBJECT_VERSION_ID NUMBER(15)
show errors;
--------------------------------------------------end
and the error message I got was
------------------------------------------------start
Error report:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges"
------------------------------------------------end
I was wandering whether the error of FOD installation could cause the error of the tutorial?
Any response will be appreciated.

We have to dig deeper on this one. Can you check the SQL errorlogs for related information?
You must verify that the databases is working, have enough space, is healthy etc.
The logs should tell you if everything is allright.

P6 Professional 8.3 installation with Oracle Database

Hi All,
I had query about P6 professional installtion.
If i select Driver type "Microsoft SQL Server" system is allowing me to enter "Host Name" of database server.
But if i select Driver type "Oracle" it is not asking for Host Name of database server.
If my database is present on other server how to give server name here?

Hi,
This is down to a fundamental difference between SQL Server and Oracle.
SQL Server is pretty much always referenced with servername and database name (and the port number unless the \<instance name> is used as part of the server name)
Oracle uses more of an 'Alias' (TNS Names).
If you ever need to start working with Oracle DB Standard or Enterprise edition then you will soon learn to be configuring the tnsnames.ora file (which is where you will find the 'Alias' mapped to the server and database name).

Alex

BOBI 4.1 SP2 installation with oracle database

HI,
In our landscape, we have installed installed oracle 11g and we have installed BOBI 4.1 with oracle system user ID for both CMS and Audit. We havent create any separate schema for CMS and Audit database. It was runninf fine but recently we are facing lot of DB issues. Can anyone please help me to conclude whether we have to create separate schema for CMS and Audit or we can user oracle system user ID for both CMS and Audit. Anyone help is highly appreciated. And also please suggest if we use the oracle system ID, whether we will face any issues in future or impacts.....
Thanking you in anticipation.
Obinna

Hi,
technically it works with the System schemas. But this is far away from Best Practices!
The standart is to create a own User/Schema for the CMS DB and the Audit DB. The User gets full privileges on his Schema and you are fine.

Way of External Database Integration with UCCX

Hi
I want to know what are the way of UCCX integration with External Database(Mobile Operator, Banking, Insurance).I only know about DBwrite and DBGet. is there any way out(http, https,SOAP)? They dont want to give me direct access to there Databases.
Sultan Al Arif

One way to do this would be to use the Get URL Document step to request an XML file from a web server.
Upon receiving this request the web server would then retrieve the required data via SQL (fairly easy to do using ASP.NET and IIS), format it in an XML page and return it to your script.
The script would then use Get XML Document Data steps to parse the XML file for the required data.
The organisations that operate the databases with which you want to integrate may have some concerns about the security of this though as the data will not be encrypted in transit.

Submit webform content to external database through webservices

Hi 2 all,
we need to achieve the following :
- create a webform where user insert his main details (name, company, email etc.)
- in the webform there is a script that generates two random number to be used as username and password
- all data of the webform shall be sent to an external database through the webservices provideb by the external site
- the external site validates the form and send a TRUE/FALSE reply to BC
- based on TRUE / FALSE reply the user see a webpage with different content and receives an e-mail with username and password if the reply of the external site is TRUE (as per random generated numbers above)
is it possible to achieve those functionalities with BC an if not, someone knows if anybody faced a similar project so to read a tutorial or so?
thanks
Franco

what we need to achieve is to send to the external database some data (username and password) to create a user in that application, if the username and password meet the requirements, the webservice send a TRUE / FALSE reply that will tell BC to send to user's e-mail a different message (if TRUE, send the username and password generated by the webform as described in my first message, if FALSE tells the user to resubmit the form, but since the parameters for creating USERNAME and PASSWORD are not directly edited by the user, the FALSE case shall be almost equal to none).
we need to communicate with external database because the BC webform shall send the data to generate a username/password in the external application
hope these new infos can help.
we are really try to understand if a BC webform can send data to an external application through their webservices
and in addition if it is possible within a webform to generate a random username and password to be included in the webservice XML structure
if you need more infos we can have a chat on Skype or other ...
Thanks

> Is it possible to install SAP instance with Remote Database and is there steps to be followed for SAP installation with Remote Database.
You have to specify the remote database server name when sapinst ask you about the database. This should do the trick.
