Moving Queries to Web... What about BOBJ

Hi, All of our Queries are 3.5 and running in 3.5 Workbooks. We are considering to convert all of our Queries to 7.x and running them on SAP Portal. I just need users to be able to access their reports without a lot of additional options.
1. Is this Portal direction a good decision based on SAP's Direction with Business Objects?
(I don't seem to hear a lot about companies running BW Queries just through portal)
2. What functionality or benefits would Business Objects Offer that running the queries on Web wouldn't provide?

1. Is this Portal direction a good decision based on SAP's Direction with Business Objects?
(I don't seem to hear a lot about companies running BW Queries just through portal)
If you already have the licences then putting the reports on to Portal is a good idea. If you're considering going down the BOE route then it may not be worth the effort.
2. What functionality or benefits would Business Objects Offer that running the queries on Web wouldn't provide?
If you compare BEx to Webi, then I reckon BO would say that you get a more user-friendly interface for end users. However, Webi performance is just not as good as BEx. Also consider that BO offer the Xcelsius dashboarding tool and pixel perfect reporting via Crystal reports. So it's not a straight comparison, you can get more functions with some of the other tools.
In your position, assuming the effort for hosting everything on the portal isn't too high, it's a worthwhile investment. I would also recommend investigating SAP BO Advanced Analysis since it's going to be the successor to BEx.

Hi. Dear users. What about Web Browsers for Mac and IPhone 4S devices

Hi. Dear users. What about Web Browsers for Mac and IPhone 4S devices?
Test Labs: THG and something else.
Thanks for responses and future responses.
Big Thanks.

"What about?" Both come with Safari as a Web Browser.
Can you be a little more specific as to the information you are requesting?

Can a fusion web application run on smart phones also? Then what about database for mobiles?

Sir,
Can a fusion web application run on smart phones also? Then what about database for mobiles?
Regards

Any web application can run on smart phone because you are accessing it from browser so no need for database or application server on your mobile
It is same as accessing any website on mobile
If you are talking about mobile app

10Express web admin interface - what about 11g standard/enterprise?

hello
With 10Express we have this web interface
http://www.herongyang.com/jdbc/Oracle-Server-Web-Interface.html
With the web interface I can easily check/uncheck rights...
What about 11g standard or enterprise - they don't have a web interface I presume?
I need to check (then grant) if a user "dev" has permission to create/drop/execute immediate table/sequence/stored procedure/function/types/packages
so first i need to be able to enumerate grants on user "dev"
Thanks

Thanks
Is this version for Express only, or good for 11g Standard+Enterprise as well?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/download.html
I am trying to digg up information on version db it supports - looking at wiki not sure why it's saying from 9i and on APEX is preinstalled? I searched "Start menu" didn't find it. I checked "Oracle Universal Installer", and confirmed that yes I don't yet have APEX installed.
+"Oracle Application Express can be installed in an Oracle 9.2 or higher database, and starting from Oracle 11g it will be preinstalled along with the database."+
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Application_Express
And I checked 11g doc, don't see APEX version requirements...
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/index.htm
Is this right for 11g?

WS endpoints restricition: What about java.util.Locale etc.?

We have some problems with the restrictions for WS endpoints.
Using SAPNW Developer Studio to create a web service including the virtual interface from a stateful session bean, we are not allowed to use usual types like java.util.Locale or java.util.Properties although they are serializable.
This is also decribed in the SAPNW DS Help:
"The following types are not allowed anywhere in the endpoint of a Web service:
·        Remote objects (EJBs)
·        Classes extending into another class and implementing an interface
·        Hashed table-like types
·        Classes/objects that cannot be serialized"
So what is the preferred solution for this issue?
Is there a way to use the serializable java.util.Locale type in a WS endpoint, or do we have to use its String representation?
What is the preferred solution for hash-table types like Properties? And what about Interface types like Map?
Maybe we just do not find the decisive documentation link?
Thanks a lot,
Dirk

Mifi 4510L Mifi Hotspot...is it the network? and what about the firmware update?

I have spent several months trying to seek a solution on the repeated and frequent disconnects from the Verizon wireless network using my Mifi 4510 L. No success. I have conversed with Verizon Wireless "experts" on this matter and have basically been ignored, since they do not have a solution. It has cost me a pretty penny in wireless costs due to lost connections in downloads, etc...for which I do not get any credit from Verizon on my wireless bill...go figure.
I have even been accused by Verizon that the problem is my computer and hardware, even though I have ran several hardware, software, and "real-life" connection checks on other wireless networks with no issues at all. I even have been getting better connectivity when I use my Verizon USB UML290...but I hate having to switch moving my SIM card from the USB Modem to the MIfi4510L...one of these days the SIM card will fail. Verizon has checked the signal strength at my home and work locations (which I already knew as good), but never heard back from them.
Anyway, I have verified that my wireless network adapter works just fine on other wireless networks (no dropouts, etc). I have even upgraded to another Windows Operating System - Windows 7...which is more superior than Vista in dealing with wireless communications. I have implemented quite a number of the solutions provided by other great Verizon Wireless Community members, but the connectivity problems continue to occur.
When I did a review of my wireless hardware logs, I noticed that when I was encountering problems, the dynamically assigned address given to me on the Verizon Wireless network changed quite a bit, even when I was using the same web site. When my wireless connection worked fine, the dynamically assigned address was consistent. This seemed to change when I encounter peak network load times.
I would appreciate a straight answer from Verizon Wireless on what is going on with the network. I live in a solid 3G coverage area...but just far away from 4G to benefit for the increased throughput. The closest 4G location footprint is about 40 miles away from me.
Finally, what about the Mifi 4510 L firmware update? I have yet to see any notification about this firmware update, either through normal e-mail channels or even through my Mifi configuration site
http://192.168.1.1/mifi.cgi
What gives?
I realize that I am sounding a little perturbed about this matter, but it has been almost 4 months now...and Verizon is not living up to their part of the bargain on providing good tech support on the Mifi 4510L. When they do not have an answer...they ignore the customer. Not good business!!!

The firmware update was released a few weeks ago and there were multiple threads in this forum for it:
Software Update: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L
The firmware update primarily addresses a problem with the MiFi switching from 3G to 4G and back. I would not expect it to resolve a connection issue for anyone in a 3G only area. Work through the firmware update instructions included in the link above and see if it helps.
There were no email notifications but the MiFi should have been redirecting you to the MiFi homepage every time you tried to browse the internet. The firmware update is mandatory so if you have not already completed the update then there might be something wrong with your device.

What about MS Access VBA where does that go?

Hello Folks newbie here,
This is the closest form that matched my needs. New to Oracle. Have around 4+ yrs with Access. Access has reached some limitations hence I downloaded Oracle Xpress Edition ("Access on steriods" as the white paper calls it). Well if thats the case then I hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
I'm looking to re-design my current desktop app. into Web App. My current Access / Excel / VBA is a legacy system. The Web interface part required is having Excel Spreadsheets viewed, edited online and any changes would go back to the Oracle Express edtion DB.
I think moving the access tables to Oracle is pretty straight forward. What about all the VBA modules where do those go?
Well hope to hear back.

Problem while calling a web service in BOBJ Data services

Hello Experts,
I am trying to call a web service in bobj data services. A real time job has been scheduled and published as a web service. I want to consume this service in web dynpro java.
I tried both the methods the adaptive web services and depricated version. I also tried calling the url directly and with the metadata and execution destinations.
No matter what I do, I keep getting the following error.
Exception on execution of web service with WSDL URL 'http://XXXXX:28080/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver=2.0&wsdl' with operation 'SERVICE_<NAME>' in interface 'Real-time_Services'
The call never reaches data services system. If I try to call the service from soapUI (web service testing tool) it works fine.
I am using SAP NW 7.0 SP22 .
Here is my code in dynpro to call the service.
     AdaptiveModel mod = new AdaptiveModel();
     Request_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP request = new Request_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP(mod);
     Query1 query1 = new Query1(mod);
     Response_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP response = new Response_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP(mod);
     request.setQuery(query1);
     request.setResponse(response);
     List list = new ArrayList();
     DefinitionsTypes_XsdSchema_1__XsdElement_1__XsdComplexType_Sequence1 element = new DefinitionsTypes_XsdSchema_1__XsdElement_1__XsdComplexType_Sequence1(mod);
     element.setCustomer_Name(wdContext.currentContextElement().getCustomerName());
     element.setZip_Code(wdContext.currentContextElement().getZipcode());
     element.setAddr1("");
     element.setAddr2("");
     element.setCity("");
     element.setCountry("");
     element.setState("");
     list.add(element);
     query1.set$002fDefinitions$002fTypes$002fXsdSchema$005b1$005d$002fXsdElement$005b1$005d$002fXsdComplexType$0023Sequence1(list);
     wdContext.nodeRequest_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUP().bind(request);
      wdContext.currentRequest_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUPElement().modelObject().execute();
      wdContext.nodeResponse().invalidate();
      wdContext.nodeQueryResponse().invalidate();
      wdContext.nodeSequenceResponse().invalidate();
Please let me know if you have any pointers on how to solve this.
Thanks in advance
Praveen.

have you create the destination?
do you use the wizard to generate code?
usually there is catch clause for this line of code
wdContext.currentRequest_SERVICE_MDM_LOOKUPElement().modelObject().execute();

What about security in adf faces application ?

It seem that the documentation has a little bit changed about security for adf faces application.
SRDemo J2EE sample application only implemented the security at the web container and may be for the session beans (don't remember) by using security-role and security-constraint in web.xml configuration file.
It seem that the documentation recommand now to implement adf security and didn't find anymore the reference to the standard j2ee security implementation.
We found also that the security constraints checked by the web container was sometimes ignored and the container didn't ask us to login before displaying a page.
Is ADF security a clear Oracle recommandation for ADF Faces application ?
What about j2ee security for this type of application (why it is not recommended to use it) ?

Hi,
there is no single recommedation about security because security ideally is applied on several levels to implement security in depth. Container managed security with J2EE is a good option to secure page access and - if using EJB - to propagate the user identity for method level access control.
Using ADF Security, which is security added to the binding layer based on JAAS, a second layer of the security onion becomes available that allows you to define which user is allowed to perform which operation on an iterator or attribute binding. This goes beyond of what container managed security can do for you.
The thrid layer is business layer security and eventually database security.
For Oracle Open World we will have a developmengt track and one of the presentation I am giving with Ric Smith from our team is about end-to-end application security for ADF Faces, ADF, ADF BCor TopLink/EJB and the Oracle database.
The plan is to also write this up in a paper, but this would come late because of other priorities I have on my plate. So attending OOW probably is the best option for you to get the big picture

What about session memory when using BEA Weblogic connection pooling?

Hi,
consider a web application, allowing database connections via a BEA Weblogic 8.1 application server. The app-server is pooling the oracle connections. The oracle database is running in dedicated server mode.
How are the database requests from the web app served by the connection pool from BEA?
1) Does one oracle session serve more than one request simultanously?
2) Does BEA serialize the requests, which means, that a session from the pool is always serving only one request at a time?
If (1) is true, than what about the session memory of Oracle sessions? I understand, that things like package global variables are beeing stored in this session private memory. If (1) is true, the PL/SQL programmer has the same situation, as with programming an Oracle databas in "shared server" mode, that is, he should not use package global variables etc.
Thankful for any ideas...

Reading "Configuring and Using WebLogic JDBC" from weblogic8.1 documentation, I read:
"... Your application "borrows" a connection from the pool, uses it, then returns it to the pool by closing it...."
What do you mean by returning the connection by closing it? Tbe server will either return the connection to the pool or close it...When application code does typical jdbc code, it obtains
a connection via a WebLogic DataSource, which reserves an
unused pooled connection and passes it (transparently wrapped)
to the application. The application uses it, and then closes
it. WebLogic intercepts the close() call via the wrapper, and
puts the DBMS connection back into the WebLogic pool.
The reason, why I as an Oracle programmer ask this is, because every session (=connection)
in Oracle has its own dedicate, private memory for things like global PL/SQL variables.
Now I want to figure out, if you have to careful in programming your databases, when
one Oracle session (=connection) is serving many weblogic requests.It is serving many requests, but always serially. Do note however, that we
also transparently cache/pool prepared and callable statements with the
connection so repeat uses of the connection will be able to get already-made
statements when they call prepareStatement() and prepareCall(). These
long-lived statements will each require a DBMS-side cursor.

How to create queries on multiproviders& what are steps to be taken.

Hi all,
How to create queries on multiproviders& what are steps has to be take care.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi,
Following scenario for sample for slow moving items for multiproviders.
Slow Moving Item Scenario
You want to define a query that displays all products that have been purchased only
infrequently or not at all. In other words, the query is also display characteristic values for
which no transaction data or only low values exist for the selected period.
Procedure
In the Administrator Workbench;
1. Create a MultiProvider consisting of a revenue InfoCube, containing the InfoObject
Material (0MATERIAL), and the InfoObject 0MATERIAL. The InfoObject must be set as
an InfoProvider in InfoObject maintenance. In other words, you need to have assigned
the InfoObject to an InfoArea. (also refer to Tab Page: Master Data/texts [Ext.]).
In the BEx Analyzer:
2. Select your MultiProvider in the Query Designer.
3. Define a query that contains the InfoObject 1ROWCOUNT in the columns.
The InfoObject 1ROWCOUNT is contained in all flat InfoProviders, that is, in all
InfoObjects and ODS objects. It counts the number of records in the InfoProvider.
In this scenario, you can see from the row number display whether or nor values
from the InfoProvider InfoObject are really displayed.
4. Save the query and execute it. All values are now displayed, including those for materials
that were not purchased.
If you filter by time (0CALYEAR, for example), values from the InfoProvider
InfoObjects are not displayed since 0CALYEAR is not an attribute of
0MATERIAL. You can see this from the absence of values in the 1ROWCOUNT
column in the query. If you want to restrict by time, you need to proceed as
follows:
Constant Selection for the InfoObject
You need to set the constant selection for the 1ROWCOUNT key figure in order to be able to
set a filter by time in this query.
1. In the Query Designer, via the context menu for 1ROWCOUNT, choose Edit.
2. On the left hand half of the screen, under the data package dimension, select the
characteristic InfoProvider (0INFOPROV) and drag it into the right-hand screen area.
3. From the context menu for the InfoProvider, choose Restrict, and restrict across the
InfoProvider InfoObject.
4. Also from the context menu for the InfoProvider, choose the function Constant Selection.
5. Save the query and execute it. You can now also set a filter for a time characteristic, the
materials display remains as it was.
Displaying Slow Moving Items
If you want to display a list of slow moving items, excluding products that are selling well, you
need to proceed as follows:
1. In the Query Designer, via the context menu for 1ROWCOUNT, choose Edit.
2. Via the context menu for InfoProvider, choose the function Display Empty Values. Also
select Constant Selection.
3. Save the query and execute it. The result is that the system displays the materials for
which there was no revenue.
Displaying Products with Small Revenues
If you want to display a list of products that have not been sold or have only been selling
badly, you need to proceed as follows:
1. Set constant selection as described above, but do not select the display empty values
function.
2. In the Query Designer, define a condition for the 0MATERIAL InfoObject. Specify a value
that is to be the upper limit for a bad sale.
3. Save the query and execute it. The result is that the system displays all materials that
have not been sold or have been selling badly.
Thanks,

TS1550 What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine

What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine backup. Already have a wireless network that works fine so no need to mess with it. We get the internet via cable company and their modem is upstairs and the Time Capsule is downstairs in the basement. The latest error message was about it could not backup as it was already in use (should have written it down before clicking OK and moving on.

See if this helps...

I photo takes pictures of random web pages, about 55,000.

i photo takes pictures of random web pages, about 55,000. how can i stop this?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Busines content (WEBi Reports) in BOBJ

Hi Experts,
Do we have busines content (WEBi Reports) in BOBJ for HCM that interfaces with the BW content Standard Queries ?
Thanks,
Santosh

Sorry, No.
WebI is a free-form / ad-hoc reporting tool that does not deliver any 'out of the box' business content templates, nor organised by line of business.
yes, there are some demo samples, and some preconfigured Audit reports, but nothing pre-developed for business reporting requirements.

I can not get my regular mail to work since I changed to moved to iCloud. What do I need to do?

I can not get my regular mail to work since i moved to iCloud. What do I need to do to update?

Go to Settings>Wi-Fi. At the bottom, make sure the "Ask to Join Networks" is ON. When you are out and about, any network the iPad sees will be shown and it will ask you if you want to "Join" it. If it is unsecure/free you tell it yes and you should connect. However, if there is a little padlock looking icon shown with the network name, it means that it is a secure network and you need a password to join. If you don't know it, you can't join. At most Starbucks and such, the Wi-Fi is free and you should be able to simply connect. Not really that hard. There are not security settings on your iPad to adjust. You'll figure it out.
Best.
