Multiple Data Sources for XML Publisher in APPS?

Is it possible to draw data from two different reports (i.e. two different data sources) into a single template, using XML Publisher in APPS?

Gareth is correct if it's only ONE report. It's my understanding that it's two reports that you want to merge into one report. If this is the case then the options I gave you are still correct.
Option 3: You could add a third option which is to keep the reports the same, set the output in the concurrent program(s) to xml. You will still have to merge the xml files and apply the format template which would require a javaConcurrentProgram.
Option 4. You could do option three but with a twist. Create two format templates, apply them to each xml output, then use the pdfMerger utility to create a single document. This may or may not work based on your requirements.

Using an SAS2008 Cube as a data source for BI Publisher errors

Hi All,
I am trying to use a SAS 2008 cube as a data source for a report in BI Publisher. When I defined the data source under the admin section I gave it the following details:
Data Source=ntsasqa01;Provider=msolap.3;Initial Catalog=WWPR_SMG
With a username / password that has access to the cube.
When I try and test the connection the OC4J instance stops running and the test does not finish or error. If I use the data source and then setup a report and then try and view data I get an error like the one below:
/app/oracle/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/DataSource/msmdacc.dll ( 0509-022 Cannot load module /app/oracle/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/DataSource/msmdacc.dll.
0509-103 The module has an invalid magic number.)
I am not sure if the error is related to the initial issue of not being able to complete the test.
I need to find a solution though as I have to make use of MDX to access the cubes.
Please could someone give me some advice.
Thanks,
Kim.

Hi Kim
1. SAS cubes are not currently supported - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf. Unless SAS cubes can use the MS drivers?
2. If you try and pursue it you might check the permissions on the ddll in the error to ensure you have rights over it.
Either way you are not supported with a SAS cube so you are kinda on your own. Sorry I dont use SAS so Im not going to be much help other than stating the obvious :0)

Multiple data sources for 1 info object

hi all,
i am working with ods 0fiap_003 info source overview u can see for 0comp_code
Company Code: Attributes and Tests (Flexible Update) this is a transaction data data source.
G/L Account: Attributes (Flexible Update) this is a transaction data data source
G/L Account: Texts (Flexible Update) 0GL_ACCOUNT_TEXT this is a transaction data data source
and there r master data data sources for these objects
G/L Account hierarchy text attributes r available.
so only for 0gl_account 5 data sources available.
3 master data ds.2 flexible data trans data data sources.same for comp code.
so how can we map for these 5 dsources in this scenario.
i am going to create process chains for master data(3) transaction data(1).
should i put trans .data info packages in the transaction data process chain
ex: G/L Account: Attributes (Flexible Update) this one.
plz suggest me
regards
sridhar

Hi Sri,
There can be multiple datasources assigned to a single master object. Only they should be unique per source system.
Regarding process chain, u should include the infopackage for transaction data in trans data process chain. This is because ur job scheduling for master and transaction load would differ. So the process chains should be separate.

Multiple Data Source (for FAILOVER) in Easy Connect Naming method

Hi All,
I was wondering if there is a way to specify multiple addresses as part of data source property in the connection string when trying to connect to Oracle with Easy Connect Naming method? this is basically for failover scenario.
I know its straight forward, if i use Connect Descriptor. But not sure how to do it with EZConnect
For ex. this is what I want to achieve with EZConnect
sales.us.example.com=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(LOAD_BALANCE=off)
(FAILOVER=ON)
*(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sales1-server)(PORT=1521))*
*(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sales2-server)(PORT=1521)))*
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=sales.us.example.com)))
I appreciate your suggestions...
Thanks

You might get better answers in one of the DB forums from a generic fail-over perspective as EZconnect isn't specific to ODP.NET.
I don't know if there's a way to do it or not with EZConnect version of the connect string, but you can certainly provide the fully qualified connect string without using tnsnames.ora..
constring = "data source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=off)(FAILOVER=ON)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sales1-server)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sales2-server)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=sales.us.example.com))); user id=scott;password=tiger"
Hope it helps,

Impossible to configure multiple data sources for EJB's in a single project

Hello everyone,
I have jDev 10.1.3 installed and I'm doing some research on EJB 3.0. In the jDev help files, it is mentioned that a project can contain only one EJB module. Correct me if I'm wrong but to me, this means that there is only one data source configured for a module/project.
But what if I need 2 EJB's linked to 2 different data source in my project? Is the only solution available is to create 2 different project and add one ejb to a project and the other ejb to the second project and then add the second project as a project dependency to the first project?
Thank you for your help
Alex

Adding multiple data sources for P6 Analytics Star 3.4

I need to extract data from 3 data sources and put into one star. I installed the necessary software, did the necessary configurations as per the documentation provided.
Example:
C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl
C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl02
C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl03
When I run the staretl process for 2nd source or 3rd source, I am not sure why the startetl.properties in C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl\res is getting updated (Source changes to 2nd source or 3rd source as per the run). DBLINK01 is also getting changed.
Please advise.
Thanks

Multiple data sources for a (advanced)datagrid?

Hi all,
I have two arrays of objects coming in from two different sources keyed on a single column called "id". They have the exact same column structure. I want to show these in a grouped column structure in advanced data grid. The question is can I do that without manually merging the two arrays?
Concrete example:
Array1: [{id:1, name:"Cooper", zip:"94536"},
{id:2, name:"Corolla", zip:"94404"}]
Array2: [{id:1, name:"One", zip:"94555"},
{id:2, name:"Camry", zip:"94403"}]
This will look like:
Id
Name
Zip
Source1
Source2
Source1
Source2
1
Cooper
One
94536
94555
2
Corolla
Camry
94404
94403
I would like to do this without creating an array like:
[{id:1, name1:"Cooper", name2:"One", zip1:"94536", zip2:"94555"},
{id:1, name1:"Corolla", name2:"Camry", zip1:"94404", zip2:"94403"}]
Charts are quite good at this since you can assign different data sources to different series and the axis defines the key on which the data will be merged. However, I could not find anything similar for tables.
Any pointers?
Thanks so much!

Come to think of it, is this even possible? How does a datagrid use its dataField parameter to lookup data? I am guessing data_array[row_index][col.dataField] would determine the value of a single cell at row_index and col. If so, my naive approach would require me to override the bracket operator so that the appropriate value is returned..
e.g. when a simple array of objects is used, you have [{name:John, lastname:Smith}], datagridcolumns dataField is then set to "name". Now I will have two separate arrays:
arr1: [{name:John, lastname:Smith}]
arr2: [{name:Smith, lastname:John}]
mergedarray will have a reference to both of them. Then when getKey("name", 1) is called, it will return a special key which can be used to access the name property from array 1, something like "name1". If I cannot override the bracket operator, mergedarray[0][name1] will return nothing.
I remember reading somewhere that this kind of override is not possible. Any ideas?

Data source for deposit advice xml and check writer xml

Could someone please tell me where I can find the data source for the Deposit Advice XML and Check Writer XML programs. Since these executables are now a spawned process (PYUGEN), I don't know how to get to the data source. I was able before to look at the queries in PAYUSPST.rdf and PAYUSCHK.rdf. Where are these queries located now? Any help is appreaciated.

Hi All,
I applyied the patch 6399100 and i got the seeded Check Writer (XML) and Deposit Advice (XML) programs.Im able to run the Check Writer (XML) with Parameter (Check Style :Seeded Archive Check Writer Template ) but where as the im unable to run the Deposit Advice (XML) due to Error msg: "No enties found for list of vales"for the 'Check Style' Parameter.
And for the above (only for Deposit Advice) i am not able to ecexute the SQL script given in the Doc ID : 459306.1 due to the error msg : cannot insert NULL into ("HR"."PAY_REPORT_CATEGORIES"."REPORT_GROUP_ID") if i see query the select * from apps.pay_report_categories where short_name like 'ARCHIVE%' there is no record exixts for ARCHIVE_DEPOSIT....
for this we required any other patch/setups.
And is the "Third Pary Check" will support XML Publisher ??
Any respose will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,

XML data source for grid

I am using web services to read an XML file that contains a schema. I am using the input as the data source for a grid. When the grid is populated it does not appear that the schema is interpreted. All the decimal values are presented as strings and are not sorted correctly. Is there something specific that I need to do to invoke the schema?

Worst forums ever! Nobody can help with the insertion of a

Data source for Deposit Advice (XML) and Live CheckWrite (XML) reports

Hello All,
We need to customize the Deposit Advice (XML) and Live Check Write(XML) reports to accomodate a few business requirements. We already have customizations for these reports in non-XML versions. For Ex: USPAYPST.rdf for Deposit Advice report. As these non-XML RDF reports are going to be unsupported by Oracle soon, we need to customize the XML versions of these report available in R12.1.3.
As these reports are kicked off by the PYUGEN spawned program, therefore I need information on the data source for these reports as soon as possible.
Looking forward to your prompt help.
Thanks,
Rahul

Now, I have anew problem here. I modified the USPAYPST.rdf report for Deposit Advice and then changed concurrent program output to XML from Text.
I attached a RTF template to the concurrent program to have the output in XML.
When I run Deposit Invoice Report from the SRS window, it finishes off normally and log file says the number of records processed but no output file is generated.
I also tried looking into the XML generated through View XMl and there too no output file is generated.
I am confused if the Deposit Advice program can only generate Text output. As PYUGEN is the executable for this report, I have no idea if XML file can even be generated.
All pointers to this issue are welcome.
Thanks,
Rahul

Can Discoverer be used as an XML Data source for XMLP ?

I am wondering if Discoverer can generate an XML Data Source for XMPL.
I have heard that Discoverer Viewer can have XML as an output. Is there a way of using this XML output with XMLP and, if yes, how to batch both steps ?

Hi
My understanding is that Discoverer does not generate XML data as an ouput that XMLP can consume. The XML is does generate is actually an XML RDF for Oracle Reports.
XMLP is integrated thou, when you export your Disco report to PDF thats XMLP doing the conversion to PDF for you.

Are Multiple (Concurrent) ABAP Data Sources for AS Java UME Possible?

Hi All,
We have a solution which is using a JAAS logon module for partner authentication. for reason's I won't go into we have decided that it is best to use an ABAP data source. We will also be using the same JAAS approach for other ABAP applications in the future. Ideally we would configure the same JAAS server to use ABAP UME data sources from ABAP server 1 and ABAP server 2.
I see there are provisions in the documentation for multiple UME data sources of different types but it doesn't clearly say about different concurrent data sources. IS this even possible? If so is it wise?
Thanks,
Doug

Julius,
Thanks again for your reply. This is confusing. We have an existing .Net logon application where we centrally administer accounts and where users log in. On successful login they are issued a .net Auth cookie. Our JAAS module takes that cookie, does a web service call back to .Net and authenticates them. So authentication is done on the basis of the .Net cookie, not the java UME. We simply need a java ume to allow users to execute the application that invokes the JAAS module. The application invokes the JAAS module and if they successfully authenticate they are forwarded to the requesting SAP application. So the JAAS ume is really just needed to allow various users to run the JAAS invoking application starter. Ideally we'd use the same starter application for users of SAP Application 1,2,3, etc.
So that's where the question came from on multiple ABAP UME data sources for a single Java instance.
Hope that makes sense. Regardless the answer I guess is not possible but you see the method to our madness. And yes it is madness.
Thanks,
Doug

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.

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!
