Multiple data sources Essbase and RDBMS in BIEE 11g

Hi,
I want to link Essbase cube with sql server in BIEE 11. I try to do it and I found that it can be linked in physical layer, but it does not allow me to set linkage in "Business Model and Mapping" layer. when I drag and drop a report and it return error:
=================
View Display Error
ODBC Driver returned an error (SQLExeDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code:10058. [NQODC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has ocurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 15018] Incorrectly defined logical table source (for fact table dummy_gen2_info) does not contain mapping for [Product.Gen2,Product - Member Key]. (HY000)
=================
My steps:
==========================
1) Use "Import Metadata" in BI Admin tools to import data source from Essbase (e.g. TBC, TBC_ASO)
2) Use "Import Metadata" in BI Admin tools to import SQL server table (e.g. testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info)
3) create linkage between table testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info.gen_id with TBC_ASO.[Product.Gen2,Product - Member Key] in "Physical layer"
4) drag and drop TBC (Essbase), TBC_ASO (Essbase), and testdb (sql server) from physical layer to "Business Model and Mapping" layer
5) drag and drop table testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info to TBC_ASO (since it dosn't allow set linkage in "Business Model and Mapping" layer between different data source)
6) drag and drop TBC, TBC_ASO, testdb from "Business Model and Mapping" layer to Presentation Layer.
==========================
Anything I did wrong? please advise.

Check what are your settings under tools-> Embedded OC4J Preferences in the datasource node.

  • Bursting with multiple data sources

    Hello all,
    I am working in a retail environment and we are building reports for the stores. There are several reports and they all receive the same reports. We are using BIP Entreprise with the bursting feature and it works very well.
    The problem is that there are too many reports and we would like to combine all reports of the same store within the same PDF. We use the multiple data source feature and was able to concatenate all reports together.
    Using this new report and template, we can not make the bursting functionality to work properly: the bursted report do not contain all the required report components.
    For example, I have 2 queries A and B each producing reports for 3 stores: 2, 4 and 5. Without bursting, the output is as is:
    Query A - Store 2
    Query A - Store 4
    Query A - Store 5
    Query B - Store 2
    Query B - Store 4
    Query B - Store 5
    With bursting into a file using the store number, I get the following:
    File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
    File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
    File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
    + Store 2 - Query B
    + Store 4 - Query B
    + Store 5 - Query B
    I would like to have the following output:
    File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
    + Store 2 - Query B
    File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
    + Store 4 - Query B
    File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
    + Store 5 - Query B
    The main question is: can this be done using BI Pub Enterprise? We using version 10.1.3.3.2
    If it is, can you provide me with help on how to configure either/or the requests and template to accomplish this task?
    I create an SR and Oracle Support does not have an answser and suggested that somebody in the Forum might help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Minh

    I would like to have the following output:
    File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
    File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
    File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
    the bursting level should be give at
    File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
    so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
    since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
    you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
    But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
    select distinct store_name from all-stores
    select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
    select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query
    define the datastructure the way you wanted,
    the xml will contain something like this
    <stores>
    <store> </store> - for store 2
    <store> </store> - for store 3
    <store> </store> - for store 4
    <store> </store> - for store 5
    <stores>
    now you can burst it at store level.

  • Report Viewer and Multiple Data Sources

    I know that it is possible to create a report in Crystal Reports using multiple data sources.  But is it possible to use just the Free  Report Viewer to view a report with Multiple Data Sources?
    Our company uses Crystal Reports XI.  I do not use the program myself, I am in the IT Department.  I have limited knowledge of Crystal and do not do any of the report writing.
    If this is possible, and if someone could help me out with what would need to be done, or point me in the right direction of a Knowledge Base or Help Topic that explains this, that would be great.
    Thanks.

    I believe it can but both data sources need to be set up. Ask a report designer to help you use the Designer to test this and see what is required.

  • Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

    Hi all,
    Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
    Looking forward to ur reply.

    Hi
    OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
    To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

  • Web Analysis : populate the same table with multiple data sources

    Hi folks,
    I would like to know if it is possible to populate a table with multiple data sources.
    For instance, I'd like to create a table with 3 columns : Entity, Customer and AvgCostPerCust.
    Entity and Customer come from one Essbase, AvgCostPerCust comes from HFM.
    The objective is to get a calculated member which is Customer * AvgCostPerCust.
    Any ideas ?
    Once again, thanks for your help.

    I would like to have the following output:
    File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
    File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
    File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B

  • Increase performance in a multiple data source report

    Post Author: ArturoFromPeru
    CA Forum: General
    Hi everybody.
    I have a big problem, when i make a report that have multiple data sources the performance decrease considerably, i still don't know the reason. Is it true that using multiple data sources is too slow?.
    I tell you a fact: I made the report connecting via "Field Definition File", and it take at least 2 minutes to show itself but it only have 170 records, and i'm very sure that the sql statements to each data source were executed very faster.
    I even heard about index, but i think they only are useful when i connect directly to the database.
    All my partner told me, that Cristal Report

    Thanks you, but I explain better what i was doing.
    I've made a report called "Kardex de Producto" which show the behavior of the products according to its sales, purchases.
    The end result which is showed by the report is correct. I used three data source in the report, so links between each table is correct. The only problem i have is the performance because i still don't know why is too slow. In fact the sql statement is very heavy, but i think it doesn't matter to the report because when it takes the data from the database (connecting via Field Definition File) even if the very heavy sql statement returns twenty record Cristal Report must show itself very quickly. I don't want to believe that Cristal Report is very slow when it works with multiple data sources.
    Do you mind if i give you my report? if not please leave me your email address.

  • Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

    I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
    Any pointers/links would be appreciated.
    Gaff

    Hi Vetsrini :
    That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.

  • Multiple Data Sources In One Logical Table

    I am new to OBIEE and I have came accross an issue. I appologize if this information is in the forum somewhere but I have searched and cannot find it.
    My situation is that I would like to have one logical table that contains multiple data sources which have all the same columns. I already have session variables setup to differentiate the user's security through a row-wise variable for a specific column and a session variable for another column which determines the user's association to the data source in which they belong to. This security works well when the data sources are seperated in the Business Model and Mapping portion but the issue that arises is that the user's cannot share reports when the data sources are seperated in the BM&M.
    I have dragged and dropped a table from the Physical model to the BM&M, I then dragged the second data source (with same meta data structure) over to the "Sources" folder in the first data source table in the BM&M. On the Content tab or each data source table I have defined the WHERE clause as such, where VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") session variable is my row-wise column filter and the VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP") filter is my data source determinative:
    sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.HOME_SCHOOL = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
    Unfortunatley this only returns values in the BI Answers for the first drag and drop Pysical table in the BM&M layer and not the second Physical table drug into the "Sources" folder. I have also tried to create a new logical table and drag both tables into the "Sources" folder to no avail. I have experimented with the Fragmentation content on the "Content" tab of the seperate logical tables, checking the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level", which gives me an error in BI Answers that a column does not exist which really does.
    What could I be missing? Advanced thanks to those who reply.
    Thank you,
    Kyle

    Stijn,
    Thank you for the article link. That was very helpful! It seems that I had a few things off as you do need the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level." checked. In my two table source columns for DATA_SOURCE I defined a literal ('086496' and '085597' for the other) in the Column Mapping tab. I pasted the following in the Fragmentation content, checking the "This source..." box on the Content tab:
    eSIS.SANDBOX4_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = '086496'
    And pasted the following into the WHERE clause, checking "Select distinct values" on the Content tab:
    sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.SCHOOL_CODE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
    This took care of my user's security, utilizing the session variables in the WHERE clause. I am now able to generate reports that only one user can access from one data source and share that same report with another user who can only see data from the other data source.
    Many thanks!!!

  • Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source

    Hi All,
    I have a Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source. Is there any way to achive it. Other than Resultant set and bring into Model.
    Thanks
    SS

    You can compare stuff in the EL, but I don't think this is what you need.
    You can just use Java code in the backing bean class for all the business logic. You can use DAO classes for database access logic. Finally for displaying you can use the JSF tags such as h:outputText.

  • Single .rar file for multiple data sources

    Can we configure multiple data sources into single .rar file? . Currently,
    we are creating a seperate .rar file to configure each datasource by
    'only' modifing ra.xml file. This is proving to be a tedius operation in
    some cases when the application is integrated with multiple data sources.

    Siva-
    Unfortunately, no. One of the limitations of the resource adapter spec
    is that it doesn't provide a means of specifying multiple separate named
    configurations, so you can only have a single configuration.
    If you need more flexibility, you may want to consider programatically
    building up the PersistenceManagerFactory and then binding them into
    JNDI.

  • Multiple data sources to open hub destination ??

    Hi,
            Is it possible to assign multiple data sources to open hub destination?
    At present we are FTP'ing a file to users. Users need one more field added to this file. The information for this field belongs to another ODS. I  checked the infospoke but it does not accept multiple data sources.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Edited by: BI Quest on Sep 4, 2008 8:12 PM

    You can create multiple transformations for open hub destination. Create destination of open hub destination to be file on application server and then use transfer mechanism to transfer files to desired destination.

  • Multiple data sources with UME

    Hi,
    I want to run several (web) applications on my SAP WebAS. And these applications should have different user stores. That is, one should be a database, one a SAP ABAP System and another should be another ABAP System.
    How can I configure the UME correctly?
    Do I have to configure different data sources? Or do I have to write my own loginmodules?
    And what's the situation if I have WebDynpro Apps? There I cannot use custom loginmodules, can I?
    In the SAP Library it says that "UME can be configured to read and write user-related data from and to multiple data sources".
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e5/618a3eacd49076e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    Any hints?
    Best regards,
    Kilian.

    Hi Michael, hi John,
    All these 3 apps are independent, i.e. they have different users no "overlapping" users. We need for every independent, homogeneous group of users an own user store.
    As John stated, we can edit a UME configuration XML file and define multiple data sources in it. However, this is still a server-wide user store.
    Is there no way to assign an application to a user store or a UME data source and not have a server-wide user store?
    And if not where can I get a description of these "initial namespace-attribute-value triples" mentioned in the SAP Library on User-Based Data Partitioning (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cd/eafc3f8fc2c542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm).
    Many thanks,

  • Configure a single ODI install for multiple Data Sources in ERPI

    I am setting up multiple data sources in ERPI to point to different EBS instances. How would I go about setting up ODI to support that without multiple installations of ODI? or is multiple installs the best way to go, from an 'ease of management' perspective?
    Thanks!

    First off - Have no knowledge of ERPi - Just googled it.
    If its any help, we have multiple instances of EBS on the same box, we have seperate DWH (and ODI Work / Master Repos) environments aligned to these instances. An ODI Agent can only communicate with one ODI Work repository, hence we have Multiple Agents so we can use the EBIZ -> DWH pairs simultaneasouly.
    Maybe someone will come along and tell us how it could work differently, until then - its works for us!

  • Multiple data sources in endeca

    Hi,
    I have multiple data sources in endeca like web crawler, xml,database, txt or pdf etc.
    Can all be configured through dev studio or all through cas or some from cas and some from dev studio?
    Pls let me know..Thanks!

    You will most probable need both CAS as well as dev studio. Web crawls and ingesting docs will have to be configured through CAS. Database and txt files (if they are delimited) can be ingested through pipeline.
    You can send the data from CAS (record stored) directly to forge as input OR you can send it to the pipeline if you need further modifications to it.
