Is this possible: Use BI Publisher with Oracle Express?

I am a new user, trying to learn BI Publisher (stand alone).
I've installed BI Pulisher OK. I have installed Oracle Databse Express
(for Windows) on the same PC with no problem.
Where/how to I connect/relate the two?
I'd like to use BIP with the HR schema.
Thank you!

Sorry, but I do not see the detail needed to connect [Windows] Oracle 10g Database Express Edition to Oracle BI Publisher (both, latest editions).
Maybe I'm missing it. If you are referring to item 3.3 Configuring Application Express to use BI Publisher,
the documentation does not match my screen options. I do not see an "Administration Services home page". I see an "Admin" tab in
BI Publisher. I do not see a "Manage Service".
Am I looking at the correct documentation?
Please keep in mind, I just want to use the HR database in Express to learn the basics of BI Publisher.
Thanks again.

Integration of Oracle BI Publisher with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterp

Hi,
I have started the tutorial " Integration of Oracle BI Publisher with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterp" today but got stuck at the very first step.
The tutorial shows that I can see "SH" and "CountryManagers" in the shared folder but I only see the Paint Demo rpd.
I previously completed the "Creating a Repository Using the Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool " tutorial.
Do I need to learn anything prior to this tutorial .
I already have the default rpd as SH in NQSConfig.ini
Please suggest.
Thanks

Nico,
That didnt help.
I already have the
Star = SH.rpd, default; set
I have tried restarting OC4J and Oracle BI Server.
Is there someplace where we need to put the rpd so that it appears in the shared folders.
Even if the Paint Demo rpd is seen, when I try to view the reports I get the following errors:
View Display Error

Any help is appreciated.

Integrating Oracle BI Publisher with Oracle Single Sign-on security.

I am trying to integrate BI Publisher with Oracle Single Sign-on running on a different machine.
The BI Publisher is installed with an Oracle application server 10.3.1 (includes a HTTP server). These are the steps I followed:
1) Registered BI publisher as a partner application in the Oracle SSO admin console which generated a single sign-off url.
2) Made the required modifications in the mod_osso.xml config file.
3) On the BI publisher admin page went to the securities tab and opted the SSO security and entered the single sign-off url generated in the previous step.
4) Restarted the Oracle ID mgt infrastructure and the BI pub server.
The BI pub login is not getting redirected to the SSO page.
Please let me know as what is that I am missing. I've been cracking my head with this for quite long - any help will be highly appreciated.

APEX is only using BI Publisher to transform the XML data of your report and the template you provide into PDF, Word or Excel. For this, APEX sends the XML data and the template to BI Publisher, and BI Publisher sends back to completed document. So there's nothing stored in BI Publisher, all templates, report definitions, etc are stored in the APEX schema. This has the advantage that you can reference item values and other information in your print documents, and it also ensures that you don't have to access the database again from within BI Publisher, i.e. you don't need to communicate any authentication information to BI Publisher.
Of course BI Publisher itself also provide the ability to store reports and to store templates. But those are not accessible from APEX through the built-in integration. You can however use the same templates you use for BI Publisher directly on load them into APEX for use there.
Lastly, if you want to use and print reports in both BI Publisher and your APEX applications, you can do that through web services, take a look at Tyler Muth's BLOG for more information on this topic:

Statement closed when using callable statements with oracle xe

hi all, i've got this problem with oracle express edition 10g. I am using also oc4j v10.1.2.0.2. When working with a normal oracle database it was working fine (i think the code was the same, it's some time since i last tried, but you can see the code is very simple).
So i just create a callable statement like this:
CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall(sentencia.toString(), ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE, ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT);
and then when trying to access the statement to register an out parameter like this
cs.registerOutParameter(1, parámetros[0].getTipo());
it gives this error:
java.sql.SQLException: Statement was closed
It's puzzling me because, as i said before, i think the same code was working ok with a normal oracle database.
Any idea what can it be?
cheers

Ah okay, sorry I've re-read your post.
I believe you need to create a clob object that encapsulates your xml file.
I've never done this but I would image it involves creating a class that implements the clob interface and passing an instantiation of this class to the callablestatement.
Let me know how you get on.

C++: Is it possible using callback function with ncacn_http and rpcproxy server ?

I have a remote procedure and I can call it using http over rpc. I pass trough an rpc proxy server for arriving to my rpc server.
But I cannot call a callback function to my client inside the server function.
Is it possible using callback function with ncacn_http and rpcproxy server ?
We are using IIS on windows server 2008 R2 and the server rpc and the client on the same PC with rpc rpoxy.
If I use ncan_ip_tcp all works fine.
Thanks

Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

Thank you for this, and to Caleb.
I've tried using Caleb's approach (which is the same as I used with Lion), but the programme doesn't respond now that I have installed Mountain Lion.
My problem is that I do not want to use IE7 but that a programme I need regular access to will only allow IE7 and I've been told by the developers that it is too expensive to upgrade this programme to allow it to be used by other browsers.
So, my puzzle remains the same. I could access IE7 and use the programme using Caleb's solution with Lion. I can't do the same with Mountain Lion. I do (I think!) understand your point about the programme requiring IE7 specifically, but if it worked on Lion, why isn't it working on Mountain Lion? Or was I just lucky before?
I'll try mende1's approach, though I doubt I'm technical enough to virtualise anything!
Thanks again. Any further thoughts welcome.

Can I use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6

Is it possible to use MainStage 2 with Logic Express 9.1.6.? Are there any limitations to not having Logic Pro 9. I'm very happy with LE9.1.6. as it meets all my needs (perhaps with the exception of not having Space Designer) but if I need to upgrade to get the most out of MainStage 2 then I will.
Thanks.

Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

Apex 3.2 with oracle express

Hi
Can i use Apex 3.2 with Oracle Express edition Oracle XE without paying any money and without violating liscence agreement ?
regards
Hrishy

Yes, there's no licensing issue with this. Oracle encourages this upgrade in order that applications can take advantage of 3.x enhancements.

Is it possible to use Oracle Memebership Providers with Oracle Express

I am using Oracle Express as development database and I was able to create the ORA_ASPNET_ tables and procedures but when I try to use Microsofts "ASP .NET Configuration" tool to create users and roles I get this error message: OracleConnection.ConnectionString is invalid
When I use the connection string in code to connect to the database I am successful, I am able to open and close a connection to the Oracle Express database.
This is the connection string I am using: <add name="OraAspNetConString2" connectionString="DATA SOURCE=localhost:1521/XE;ENLIST=false;METADATA POOLING=False;PASSWORD=CREDENTIALSMGR;PERSIST SECURITY INFO=True;STATEMENT CACHE PURGE=True;USER ID=CREDENTIALSMGR;" providerName="Oracle.DataAccess.Client"/>
So I am wondering why when I run the application and the membership class tries to verify the user I get the error message: OracleConnection.ConnectionString is invalid
I have been looking at this a couple of days now so not sure what the problem is, any help?

I suggest that update your machine.config file under your
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG.
There is one following entry. You may try to update the
connectionString with a valid string value.
<add name="OraAspNetConString" connectionString=" " />

Using Java Dictionary With Oracle

Can Someone tell how can i configure my java dictionary with oracle...Currently if a create a table from my IDE and then deploy it it deploys to the Default SAP DB ...how do i directrly create tables in oracle by just specifying the Deploy option ...
And further on I want my web Dynpro application to talk with oracle db..how do i acheive this..
Please Help!!

Hi,
Does this mean that the additional features of The Java Dictionary (bufferring etc ) can only be implemented if we ONLY connect to the SAP DB---- YES
If I have to utilize the services of Java Dictionary in my application i can only use The SAP DB database -- YES
You deploy a dictionary project to create a table in the DB.
When it is a DB created and used by Web AS ,it is possible to create tables in that DB with dictionary project using the standard connection parameters specified in visual admin.
Java Dictionary purpose is to create a DB abstraction by providing a standard interface to create tables whatever the DB used by WebAS maybe.

Using XML DB with Oracle Drive as Webdav client

Hi all -
I'm looking into using XML DB (10g) to store files so we can query their content via SQL/XPATH and then access/edit them via Webdav.
Windows Vista makes this easy, since it can map a drive to a Webdav URL. Mac OSX can do a similar thing.
Windows XP however can't do the drive mapping for WebDav on a port other than port 80, which is our setup.
So I tried out Oracle Drive, which I stumbled across on some site somewhere, and it worked. But it was an old version, so I downloaded the "official" version from Oracle, which is v10.2.0.0.22. This version refuses to connect to XML DB no matter what I do. I've fiddled with authentication, proxies, and so on (there are several posts elsewhere with hints on this) but so far no joy.
Has anyone had any experience making the latest version of Oracle Drive talk to XML DB?
Many Thanks

Thanks for replying.
Yes, we may decide to move XML DB to port 80, but there are other services running on our server and such a move would be a significant hassle.
As for Windows XP, it is not possible to do this: net use * http://server:8080/public
This works on Vista, but it only works on XP if you use port 80.
Note that XP has TWO built in Webdav clients: Web Folders (= Network Places) which is a feature in Explorer, and the Webdav Mini-Director which works at the file-system level. I don't think Web Folders can work for us since we need to be able to create a real filepath to give to our editor application. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but I can't figure it out.
Oracle Drive seems to be a great solution, but I can't make the most recent version work (the old version worked but was buggy).

Using OWB mappings with Oracle CDC/Streams and LCRs

Hi,
Has anyone worked with Oracle Streams and OWB? We're looking to leverage Streams to update our data warehouse using Streams to apply changes from the transactional/source DB. At some point we seem to remember hearing that OWB could leverage Streams, perhaps even using the Logical Change Records (LCRs) from Streams as input to mappings?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim Carter

Hi Jim,
We've built a fairly complex solution based on streams. We wanted to break up the various components into separate entities so that any network failure or individual component failure wouldn't cause issues for the other components. So, here goes:
1) The OLTP source database is streaming LCR's to our Datawarehouse where we keep an operational copy of production, updated daily from those streams. This allows for various operational reports to be run/rerun in a given day with the end-of-yesterday picture without impacting the performance on the source system.
2) Our apply process on the datamart side actually updates TWO copies of data. It does a default apply to our operational copy of production, and each of those tables have triggers that put a second copy of the data into daily partitioned tables. So, yesterday's partitions has only the data that was actually changed yesterday. After the default apply, we walk the Oracle dependency tree to fill in all of the supporting information so that yesterday's partition includes all the data needed to run our ETL queries for that day.
Example: Suppose yesterday an address for a customer was updated. Streams only knows about the change to the address record, so the automated process would only put that address record into the daily partition. The dependency walk fills in the associated customer, date of birth, etc. data into that partition so that the partition holds all of the related data to that address record for updates without having to query against the complete tables. By the same token, a change to some other customer info will backfill in the adress record for this customer too.
Now, our ETL queries run against views created against these partitoned tables so that they are only looking at the data for that day (the view s_address joins from our control tables to the partitiond address table so that we are only seeing one day's address records). This means that the ETL is running agains the minimal subset of data required to update dimensions and create facts. It also means that, for example, if there is a problem with the ETL we can suspend running ETL while we fix a problem, and the streaming process will just go on filling partitions until we are ready to re-launch ETL and catch up - one day at a time. We also back up the data mart after each load so that, if we discover an error in ETL logic and need to rebuild we can restore the datamart to a given day and then reprocess the daily partitions in order very simply.
We have added control fields in those partitioned tables that show which record was inserted/updated/or deleted in production, and which was added by the dependency walk so, if neccessary, our ETL can determine which data elements were the ones that changed. As we do daily updates to the data mart as our finest grain, this process may update a given record in a given partition multiple times so that the status of this record at the end of the day in that daily partition shows the final version of that record for the day. So, for example, if you add an address record an then update it on the same day the partition for that day will show the final updated version of the record, and the control field will show this to be a new inserted record for the day.
This satisfies our business requirements. Yours may be different.
We have a set of control tables which manage what partition is being loaded from streams, and which have been loaded via ETL to the datamart. The only limitation is that, of course, the ETL load can only go as far as the last partition completely loaded and closed from streams. And we manage the sizing of this staging system by pruning partitions.
Now, this process IS complex, and requires a fair chunk of storage, but it provides us with the local daily static copy of the OLTP system for running operational reports against without impacting production, and a guaranteed minimal subset of the OLTP system for speedy ETL runs.
As for referencing LCRs themselves, we did not go that route due to the dependency issues (one single LTR will almost never include all of the dependant data from which to update a dimension record or build a fact record, so we would have had to constantly link each one with the full data set to get all of that other info).
Anyway - just thought our approach might give you some ideas as you work out your own approach.
Cheers,
Mike
