Issue With External Table Authentiaction in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4

Hi,
We are trying to implement security through External table Authentication in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4.As a part of this process,we want to pass the credential values which are entered in login screen to the below query in the GET SQL PASSWORD section of ReadonlySQLAuthentication Provider.
select encryptfn(:USER,:PASSWORD) from Users where Username=?
Credential values which we are entering in Analytics Answers login screen are not getting passed into :USER and :PASSWORD.
Can anybody please help us what is the exact variable we should use in place of :USER and :PASSWORD in the function called from the above select statement?
Thanks,
Syam

Hi,
We are also facing the same issue. Any suggestions/workarounds are appreciated.
Thanks,

As others suggested, you have to do the debugging yourself, To avoid the date error you may need something like this:

External Table Authentication in OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
I have a security table, which contains userid,displayname,group . I have imported Security table in Physical Layer. I'm creating session variables based on condition.
When am trying to logging into analytic s getting an error, invalid username and password . I'm using 11.1.1.6.0 version
How to handle external table authentication in OBIEE 11g version.
Regards,
Malli

Hi fiaz,
That links talks about 10g version.
Step1: We have imported a secutiry table in Physical layer.
Step2: Creating a session variable by selecting initilazation block.
Select user_name,group from security_table where user_id=':USER' and pwd=':password';
step3: created DISPLAYNAME,GROUP & USER VARIABLES in edit target window
After these modifications i was trying to logging with new user, which is there in security table.
I am getting an error that is invalid user or password.
Is there any other changes does it required here.
Regards,
Malli

Issues with External Hard Drives

I hope this is the right forum for this one - please give me a steer if not! I've also posted it in 'Dock and Finder', but this forum seems equally appropriate, if not more so.
I'm getting repeated issues with External Hard Drives, including ones that I have been using successfully for months/years, suddenly failing to mount and then becoming 'unknown device' through the firewire branch of 'About This Mac'.
I've just bought a new hard drive on the grounds that the others had somehow failed, and the same problems are emerging. I decided to Repair Permissions on my iMac's internal drive, and am copying the results below, from repair runs conducted yesterday and today:

Many problems with the 10.5.7 update have been fixed by a Restart.
If that doesn't help, something may have gone wrong with the update. Download and install the "combo" update, from: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
If that doesn't help, try running the Apple Hardware Test, on the disc that came with your computer.
1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on screen instructions.
5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it.

Hello Gurus..... ISSUE with child Table update

I have an issue with child table update
I have created a GTC with one parent table and two child tables. I'm able to update the parent table and the values are found in db, but the ISSUE is the child Table values are not updating the db.
please give me a solution
regards
Srikanth

If you are keeping referential integrity in the database, not in the application, it is easy to find the child and parent tables. Here is a quick and dirty query. You can join this to dba_cons_columns to find out on which columns the referential constraints are defined. This lists all child-parent table including SYS and SYSTEM users. You can run this for specific users of course.
select cons1.owner child_owner,cons1.table_name child_table,
cons2.owner parent_owner,cons2.table_name parent_table
from dba_constraints cons1,dba_constraints cons2
where cons1.constraint_type='R'
and cons1.r_constraint_name=cons2.constraint_name;

Issues with Advance Table Add Row New Row not work in some scenarios.

Hi,
Wondering if there's any issue with Advanced Tables where it does not create any rows. I don't know if anyone tried this or not. I have one OA Page with Advanced Table and a button that when clicked open a new OA Page in a POP-UP Window. The pop-up page conatins one textbox where u enter a data and this gets saved in one of the VO's transient attribute. Now on the ase page if you don't click a button to open a pop-up page you can Add New Rows in the Advanced Table by clicking Add Row Button. But as soon as you open a popup window and close it Add New Rows button doesn't work and is not creating any new rows. Basically page stops working. Both the POP-UP and the base page share the same AM but have different controllers.
POP-UP page is a custom page that I open giving the Destination URI value in the button item and target frame _blank.
I even tried creating rows programmatically for Advance Table but this too doesn't work once u open a pop-up. Also I have used pageContext.putTransactionValue in the pop-up page and am checking and removing this in the base page.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

DATE fields and LOG files in context with external tables

I am facing two problems when dealing with the external tables feature in Oracle 9i.
I created an External Table with some fileds with the DATE data type . There were no issues during the creation part. But when i query the table, the DATE fields are not properly selected though the data is there in the files. Is there any ideas to deal with this ?
My next question is regarding the log files. The contents in the log file seems to be growing when querying the external tables. Is there a way to control this behaviour?
Suggestions / Advices on the above two issues are welcome.
Thanks
Lakshminarayanan

Hi
If you have date datatypes than:
select
greatest(TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE, EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE)
from TABCASER, TABCASER1, EVCASERS
where ...-- join and other conditions
1. greatest is good enough
2. to_date creates date dataype from string with the format of format string ('mm/dd/yyyy')
3. decode(a, b, c, d) is a function: if a = b than return c else d. NULL means that there is no data in the cell of the table.
6. to format the date for display use to_char function with format modell as in the to_date function.

Issue in External Table Authentication and Authorization in OBIEE11G

Hello Gurus,
Can anyone help me how to configure External Table Authentication and Authorization in OBIEE11g through weblogic server not like in 10g style(Through INIT Blocks).
I've followed the (Doc ID 1338007.1) document. But when i'm restart the Managed servers and Admin servers after configuring the SQLAuthenticator all my services are showing down.
I already raised the SR (SR 3-6286054151) on this issue. But still i didn't get any reply from them.
Can anyone help me out on this issue or can anyone me send the document for "how to configure External Table Authentication and Authorization in OBIEE11g" . It's really appreciate for your quick response.
my mail ID [email protected]
Thanks,
Syam.

Hi John,
Thanks for your quick response.
We configured "ReadOnlySQL Provider" by following the Oracle's white paper(Doc ID 1338007.1) Please find the below steps what we configured in weblogic console.
1. Created the Data Source
2. In the data source specified the Database driver--> *Oracle's Driver Thin for service connections: Versions:9.0.1 and later.
3. Defined the connection Properties .
4. Selected targets as Admin server and bi_server.
Then Activate changes
5. Created new provider by using ReadOnlySQL Authenticator
6. In the provider specific tab we given the SQL statements and saved it.
7. Restarted the Admin and Managed servers.
After restarted the services when we open the Enterprise Manager page all the services are showed as Undefined - means red.
Apart from that we followed your suggested link http://askjohnobiee.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-oid-authentication-with-groups.html
For External table authentication do we need to configure BISQLAuthenticator or ReadOnlySQLAuthenticator ?
If we configure BISQLAuthenticator we just import Groups from database to Console application. Then how can it Authenticated to the User ?
Please let me know your ideas on this.
Thanks,
Syam

Help with external table authorization

Hi Every One,
I am using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
I have setup MSAD authentication through rpd and every user is able to login to analytics.
And there is an external table in the database where I have all the user and their groups( all users in MSAD are in this table)
I have created session variable called GROUP to have these usergroups for authorization.
I have created the groups in the front end with exact names that are in the external table.
But I cant set up the Required privilages
every user is seeing all the reports and subject areas.
Do I need to create the application roles with exact names as groups names in rpd?
Do i need to create groups in weblogic console?
Please help me in this regard.

Hi,
I have created the groups in the front end with exact names that are in the external table.
Do I need to create the application roles with exact names as groups names in rpd?No need to create any groups or application roles in rpd.
Test Authorization init block properly.
Create application roles under console, which are nothing but groups in your external table. Apply security to dashboards accordingly.

Srikanth

Solution for sleep issues with external display?

I had an Early 2011 Macbook Pro that worked quite well with an external display. I now have a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro (bought 5 days ago, and running 10.10.3) that will not consistently work with the same external monitor.
I had it working yesterday for a few hours only if I left the MBP with the top open (both the MBP screen and external monitor stayed lit). But, today it is back to freezing each time the monitor is connected to it.
I have tried:
1. Connecting the external monitor to the MBP with the top open. Results in the MBP screen now going dark and no signal being passed to the external monitor. If the external monitor is disconnected, the MBP screens stays dark and the computer is unresponsive requiring a hard restart.
2. Connecting the external monitor to the MBP with the top closed. Results in no signal being sent to the external monitor. Disconnecting the external monitor and reopening the MBP yields, again, and unresponsive computer which requires a hard restart.
I have tried three different external monitors, all giving the same result. The MBP is connect to external power, and I am running the latest OS (10.10.3).
Any suggestions before I return this to the Apple store in a rage? :-)

Hello there, Gaflin.
I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble getting your external display to work the way you are expecting with your new MacBook Pro. The following Knowledge Base article provides a great checklist of steps for troubleshooting the issue you seem to be describing:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Using Closed lid, Extended Desktop, or Mirroring display modes
When using multiple displays, information can be presented in a number of ways. For more information and what modes are supported by your Apple product refer to:
Apple Portables: How to use your computer in closed lid (display closed) mode with an external display
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Performance issues with pipelined table functions

I am testing pipelined table functions to be able to re-use the base_query function. Contrary to my understanding, the with_pipeline procedure runs 6 time slower than the legacy no_pipeline procedure. Am I missing something? The processor function is from [url http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=429]improving performance with pipelined table functions .
Edit: The underlying query returns 500,000 rows in about 3 minutes. So there are are no performance issues with the query itself.
Many thanks in advance.

Like:

- what data do you have, how is it distributed, indexed
and so on.
If you want to find out what's going on then use a TRACE with wait events.

Issue with Multiple Tables in Report

Post Author: dwessell
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2k8.
I'm doing a report with three tables, CQ_HEADER, SO_HEADER and SALESPERSON. Both the CQ_HEADER and the SO_HEADER tables link to the SALESPERSON table via a SPN_AUTO_KEY field.
However, I always receive duplicates in my result set, due to the joins made, and I don't receive results that are valid in one table, and empty in another (Such that it only counts a CQ, if there is a SO associated with it. Here's the query that's produced by CR.
SELECT "CQ_HEADER"."CQ_NUMBER", "CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE", "CQ_HEADER"."TOTAL_PRICE", "SALESPERSON"."SALESPERSON_NAME", "SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE", "SO_HEADER"."TOTAL_PRICE"
FROM "CQ_HEADER" "CQ_HEADER" INNER JOIN ("SO_HEADER" "SO_HEADER" INNER JOIN "SALESPERSON" "SALESPERSON" ON "SO_HEADER"."SPN_AUTO_KEY"="SALESPERSON"."SPN_AUTO_KEY") ON "CQ_HEADER"."SPN_AUTO_KEY"="SALESPERSON"."SPN_AUTO_KEY"
WHERE ("CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE">={ts '2007-12-01 00:00:00'} AND "CQ_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE"<{ts '2007-12-18 00:00:00'}) AND ("SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE">={ts '2007-12-01 00:00:00'} AND "SO_HEADER"."ENTRY_DATE"<{ts '2007-12-18 00:00:00'})
ORDER BY "SALESPERSON"."SALESPERSON_NAME"
There is no link between the SO_HEADER and the CQ_HEADER. Can anyone make a suggestion as to how I could go about structuring this such that it doesn't return duplicate values?
Thanks
David

Hey,
I understand you used Retainsameconnection property true for all the OLEDB connections you used in the package if not make sure its for all the connection including file connection as well.
Additionally, you can try to set Delayvalidation property to true for all the dataflows and control flows in the connection and try running the package for 10MB file.
I hope this will fix the intermittent failure issue you are facing with SSIS.
(Please mark solved if I've answered your question, vote for it as helpful to help other user's find a solution quicker)
Thanks,

Synonym problem with external table in materialized view

I have a materialized view that includes selects on two external tables.
However, no matter how I try to access the external tables, the creation fails with a "Synonym Translation Is No Longer Valid" (ORA-00980) error.
This happens even when I replace the tablename with the full table name, including the link.
I can create a view just fine, but if I then try something like CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mvw_my_view AS SELECT * FROM vw_my_view (where vw_my_view is the view in question), it still throws the Synonym Translation exception.

00980, 00000, "synonym translation is no longer valid"
// *Cause: A synonym did not translate to a legal target object. This
//         could happen for one of the following reasons:
//         1. The target schema does not exist.
//         2. The target object does not exist.
//         3. The synonym specifies an incorrect database link.
//         4. The synonym is not versioned but specifies a versioned
//            target object.
// *Action: Change the synonym definition so that the synonym points at
//          a legal target object.It is really, Really, REALLY difficult to fix a problem that can not be seen.
use COPY & PASTE so we can see what you do & how Oracle responds.

Strange issue with external monitor, only working when external speakers plugged in (using Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor)

Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source. What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
Some other information:
- Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
- If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
- The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?

Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
Here's what I did to test:
Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured. I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video. It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop). I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results. I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver. Very annoying. I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
I have 2 other things I can try:
1. Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
2. Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/). I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).
