Is Data Guard good option for Operational Reports

One of our DBA has suggested to have data guard to produce real time or nearly real time(15 min. delay) operational reports, by which we can remove the load on OLTP system. Is it a good practice to use data guard for reporting purpose? what if Production OLTP system goes down (planned or unplanned maintenance), will data guard act as production OLTP database? Can any one in this forum provide some help to understand data guard concept?

Whether this is a good option or not depends on a lot of factors - including which version of Oracle you are using, and what your operating system you have selected.
In it's simplest form, Data Guard is the controller for hot standby synchronization and database failover. But, once you have a hot standby you may want to use it for other things. That additional use involves compromise - for example, while the standby is used for reporting, it is not applying the sync'ing data [as fast] and there could be unacceptable delays.
I encourage you to start with the Oracle portal for Data Guard and get familiar with come of the white papers. Move forward to the documentation and the forum dedicated to the technology.

"database logon" option for schedule report

When scheduling a report,
Crystal report has the "database logon" option in "shcedule" property page.
But I can't find the "database logon" option for webi report or deski report.
Is this by design.

Hi Tina,
We do not have data base logon option while scheduling the report.
I am not sure what is the significance of it in Crystal but in Webi or deski report we do not need it. We have connections for every universe/report and that has these database log on credential in it. Based on it reports get refresh and run.
Thanks

Apple TV good option for renting movies?

I'm thinking of getting the Apple TV and one of the things I'd be looking to do on it would be to rent movies. Is it a good option for renting movies? If so, is there a huge selection of rentals? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is plenty to choose from with New Releases and a decent back catalogue. It all depends on what you're looking for. Time it takes to load depends on your network (2.5mbps for SD, 6mbps for instant 720P, 8mbps for 1080P). It will be 'ready to play' once enough has loaded in order to play without interuption.

Is Multimaster Timesten replication a good option for huge data volumes?

Hi,
There are 3 timesten nodes in our production setup .There will be around 5 million rows in each node initially which will gradually increase to about 10 million.Once our application moves to production, there will be around 50-70 transactions per second in each node , which need to be replicated on to the other node.
Initially we thought of going with Active-Standby-Subscriber replication.However in this case if active and standby node go down,then it will be a site failure case.So is Active-Active (Multimaster replication) configuration a good option ? Will data collision happen when replication happens in both directions?
Thanks in advance.
Nithya

Multi-master replication is rarely a good idea. You will get data collisions unless you rigorously partition the workload. Conflict detection and resolution is not adequate to guarantee consistency over time. Recovery back to a consistent state after a failure is complex and error prone. I'd strongly advise against a multi-master setup, especially for a high volume system.
You seem to be concerned that 2 out of the 3 systems may fail resulting in a site outage. The likelihood of that is small if you have set things up with separate power etc. With the A/S pair based approach you would still have query capability if the two master systems failed. The chances of all 3 systems failing is not that much less than of just 2 failing in reality I would say (depending on the reason for the failure).

Data accuracy on the aggregates operations report

Hi,
I am facing the issue Please help me in solving this issue.
when user was reviewing the data for accuracy on the Aggregates Operations Report
and found some discrepancies. This is for plant 3001 (Carden) for March.user got the data as
57,051 from the COIO transaction in SAP and from the Inventory Movement
report in BW under production receipts, but on the Aggregates Operations
report for extracted there is only 30,840. The surge material in question
is the amount that should show up in extracted tonnes on the AOR report.
user has tried running different reports but can't figure out why the
difference. Also, the Net Processed Volume and Aggregates processed are
also incorrect. The amount Net Process Volume should the total of material
9050 (6,313 tonnes), 9061 (35,429 tonnes), 9094 (3,045 tonnes), and 9106
(10,628 tonnes), and for Aggregates Processed will be the same except not
including 9094.
Thanks,

Hi Lalitha,
From what I could undersand, one SAP report and 2 BW reports are being mentioned in your question.
The SAP transaction COIO and the Inventory Management report in BW are showing the same value. The AOR report is showing a different value for the plant 3001.
Please check the following:
1) How are the key figures (like Net Processed Volume and Aggregates processe ) computed?
2) What fields from R/3 are used for this computation?
The reports within BW are showing a difference, which means the sources and data flow have been taken differently. So just analyze if the design in the back-end i.e. modeling is done based on any functional specifications given by the Business if so that can be your justification.
If this doesn't help you, you might have to give some more details of your problem.
All the best!

Attempt to assign data set as datasource for existing report

There must be something stupid I am missing.
1) Created a report with Crystal Reports 2011
2) It queries a table in a SQL 2008 database
3) The internal select statement is
SELECT "CUSTOMER"."rname", "CUSTOMER"."radd", "CUSTOMER"."radd2", "CUSTOMER"."rcity", "CUSTOMER"."rprov", "CUSTOMER"."rpostal", "CUSTOMER"."rcountry"
FROM   "Data"."dbo"."CUSTOMER" "CUSTOMER"
ORDER BY "CUSTOMER"."rname"
4) Now I am attempting to use the report in Visual Basic 2010 but using a data set as the source
5) Following examples I have looked at this is the code
Private Sub CustomerCrystalReport2frm_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ' Define connection information
        Dim ConnectionInfo As New ConnectionInfo
        ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "TEST7\TEST7"
        ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Data"
        ConnectionInfo.UserID = "Master"
        ConnectionInfo.Password = "MasterPassword"
        ' Load the existing report
        Dim rd As ReportDocument = New ReportDocument
        rd.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\Crystal Reports\DGVCustomerListing.rpt")
        SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo, rd) ' Set the report table connections
        ' This shows the report has loaded the records using the internal select statement (18305 records)
        Debug.Print(" Report Document Records=" & rd.Rows.Count)
        ' Create the data set with the records I want the report to use
        Dim ReportInfo As DataSet = New DataSet()    ' To hold data to pass to the report
        Dim SQLSelect As String = "select * FROM Data.dbo.Customer where rname LIKE 'z%' order by rname"
        ReportInfo = FillDataSet(SQLSelect, "ReportData")   ' Fill the data set to pass to the report
        ' This shows the data set contains the expected records (57 records)
        Debug.Print(" Data Set Records=" & ReportInfo.Tables("ReportData").Rows.Count)
        ' Change the source of the report
        rd.SetDataSource(ReportInfo)
        ' This changing the source had no effect records still (18305 records)
        Debug.Print(" Report Document Records=" & rd.Rows.Count)
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd ' Bind report document to crystal report viewer
    End Sub
    Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal ConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal ReportDocument As ReportDocument)
        Dim Tables As Tables = ReportDocument.Database.Tables
        For Each table As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In Tables
            Dim TableLogOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo
            TableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = ConnectionInfo
            table.ApplyLogOnInfo(TableLogOnInfo)
        Next
    End Sub
end Sub
6) The report is appearing in the viewer with 18305 records
Any help would be appreciated

Setting the report table connections caused the report to fill with data.
At this point I seemed unable to reset the datasource.
Also the set data source needed further clearification.
The simplified following code works:
Dim rd As ReportDocument = New ReportDocument
rd.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\Crystal Reports\DGVCustomerListing.rpt")
' Create the data set with the records I want the report to use
Dim ReportInfo As DataSet = New DataSet()    ' To hold data to pass to the report
Dim SQLSelect As String = "select * FROM Data.dbo.Customer where rname LIKE 'z%' order by rname"
ReportInfo = FillDataSet(SQLSelect, "ReportData")   ' Fill the data set to pass to the report
' Change the source of the report
rd.SetDataSource(ReportInfo.Tables("ReportData"))
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd ' Bind report document to crystal report viewer

Multi key (or composite key) dimension for operational reporting

Hi, I am creating operational reports in OBIEE 11g with PeopleSoft FSCM as source. As they are straight forward reports, I am planning to use OLTP tables directly for my OBIEE reporting.
Here is the simplified scenario - ACCOUNT_TBL_VW is dimension table which has BUSINESS_UNIT & ACCOUNT_ID as keys.
I have LEDGER Fact that has BUSINESS_UNIT, ACCOUNT_ID & other dimension keys with amount measures.
How do I link my LEDGER Fact with ACCOUNT Dimension?
Can I join multiple keys of Dimension with multiple keys of Fact? like this
ACCDIM.BUSINESS_UNIT ---> LEDGFACT.BUSINESS_UNIT
ACCDIM.ACCOUNT_ID ---> LEDGFACT.ACCOUNT_ID
As it is operational reporting, I don't have any ETL type process to prepare single column primary key(surrogate key) in Dimension Table & modifying Fact Table with dimension surrogate key value.

Hi,
on the principal of how (in the absence of ETL); -
1. Physical layer should reflect the actual physical joins, in some cases you may need the same table more than once to reflect self joins
2. The business model layer is where you transform the physical into your desired star schema, hence here you will frequently (when using RDBMS tables) have numerous physical tables forming the source for a single logical table - this is also where you flatten the snowflake (or worse) into a star
Make sense?
regards,
Robert.

Customizing Print Options for Webi Report

Scenario:
Environment: BO Xi R3.1
Webi report having around 10 tabs in a Single report and all report tabs are built on 1 query.
Requirement
1)Need to have print pop up box which will give the same functionality as Office tools to the end users.
i.e., need a way to bring the Java Report Panel (Edit mode) print dialog box to the DHTML (View Mode) so that End Users have more options for printing.
2)Need to have an option to print report tab selectively.
3)Need to have an option to print reports for multiple filter selections.
Any pointers, suggestions to the above requirement are of great help.
Appreciate, if the Specific SDK class details are also mentioned with any possible options.
Thanks in advance

Lawrence,
The form is where I concatenate the SQL that is the record source of both the report and the subsequent record updates. So the form is always open before the report is opened (that is where the code to open the report resides and is run), and it must remain
open while the report is open to maintain the value of the variables, including the WHERE clause of the SQL statement that will be used for the posting process when the user closes the report. That is, the SQL used to open the report MUST match the
SQL used when posting the records, or the user could change some selection parameter and post records not on the report.
And I open both the form and report modally to prevent a user from inadvertently running the report's Close event outside the context of the form, with its variables all set for the posting process.
I know I could pass all of this to public variables, but I am trying to keep it as clean and as close to the Form -> Report -> back to Form as I can.

Is there a Data Model in BW for Financial Reporting?

Hi,
I am required to integrate a non-SAP Financial application to SAP BW. I am wondering if there exists a Data Model in SAP BW that supports out of the box canned reports. This will help me target the interface design to feed the existing Data Model. Any pointers to this Data Model and list of canned reports would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Nitin

Options for ABAP report output in Dashboard type presentation

Background
Monash University environment is SAP ERP ECC6 - no BW. The University has undertaken considerable analysis of spend as part of developing a strategic approach to procurement. The data used to undertake this analysis was extracted from SAP MM and FI using a developed ABAP report which collates, categorizes and consolidates all spend information from MM (for our Purchase Order based commitment and expenditure) and FI (for direct invoices and Corporate Credit Card expenditure). This information is then currently exported to MS-Excel to produce a report containing graphs, pie charts etc.
Requirement
To present output from our Spend Analysis Report in a more readable dashboard type presentation. This facility should allow easy manipulation (slice and dice) and drill down of the data.. Our requirement is to have something operating within a very short time-frame, say within a month or two. Although you might suggest Web Dynpro Business Graphic or SEM /BW (as the optimal solution) we understand the set up time for either of these solutions is prohibitive. Visual Composer has been suggested as another option but we have no in-house expertise to determine if this is a viable solution.
Some colleagues visited a conference a couple of weeks ago and saw a demonstration of a product call XenoCube http://www.inlogik.com/downloads/XenoCube_Brochure.pdf
which was proposed as a quick way to present SAP 'raw' report output in a more readable form. Other solutions in this space that have been suggested include:-
Zycus - Actionable Spend Analysis Zycus.com
Emptoris Spend Analysis - emptoris.com
ONIQUA Enterprise Analytics oniqua.com.au
Ariba Buyer ariba.com
SAS Spend Analysis sas.com
Etesius SpendGuardian etesius.com
Can anyone provide advice as to their experience of SAP solution, integrated partner products or any of the about products to satisfy a similar requirement to that which I have outlined? The main selection criteria will include a product which is:
a) quick & easy to implement,
b) presentation and manipulation of ABAP extracted data
c) is scalable and
d) is reasonably priced.
Grateful for any advice regarding a solution .
Thank-you

How to hide the view latest instance option for the reports in XIR3

Created an access level and denied the rights "view document instances" and "view document instances that the user owns" in the access level.
Applied this access level for a particular group on a particular folder.
Login to Infoview and when view the history,there are no instances for a particular report under that folder.
But we could still see the 'View Latest instance' option in the properties of the report and when click on it,we are able to view the report.
As per the security assigned,the user should only be able to view the instances owned by him.
Plz help me how to hide the option in INFOVIEW

In 9.3.1 (not sure about 9.2) there is a table in your BIPlus repository which stores preferences/profile information, however, having a user simply log in to WA doesn't appear to automatically create a row for them in this table. (So this may not be a viable solution to your situation, I'm still looking for one myself.) This table stores lots of preference info such as whether or not to show the Main Menu, Toolbar, Masthead, etc. by default.
To hide the View Pane, edit the data in the SHOW_INFO_PANEL column, change it from a 1 to a 0 and for that user the View Pane will not longer appear by default.
HYA_USER_PREFS
But again, this only works if you already see the user in the table otherwise I guess maybe they have to 'touch' their Preference before it creates an entry in that table. Haven't figured that part out yet, and Support didn't have any information.
If anyone has found a way to maneuver through the table structures I'd love to hear any insight you can offer.
Before you make any changes to the data in this table be sure to take adequate repository backups, and use caution as usual.
I'm going to create a Shared Preference and have each user point to it the first time they log in - but then you lose the ability for each user to have their own personal folder as their default, so it's still not the ideal solution. Really wish there was a way for Admins to set certain prefs. A coworker reminded me under 7.? or 6.x things like View Pane were system-level settings which was easy to control, but now it's at the user level.
Good luck,
Karen

Tables for Basic end date and work center for operation

Hi!
I need table name to fetch the basic end date of a maintenance order and maintenance work centers with respect to each operation in maintenance order.

Hi VM,
Input is Order Number (AUFNR).
You can find the Basic End date of Order in Table AFKO, filed is GLTRP.
For work center in Operations, you can use the Table AUFPL from AFKO.
Pass this AUFPL in AFVC and get the ARBID.
Then pass this ARBID to CRHD Table as OBJID, and get the work Center (ARBPL)
