Multiple profile sources...ways to combine properties

My situation:
every user is in back end data source 1 (DS1)
some users are in back end data source 2 (DS2)
I can sync in properties from DS1, but its probably out of date. If they are in DS2, then I can sync in this more up to date info. However, there is no way to say "if this property exists in DS2, use it, otherwise, use the property from DS1". Each profile source will overwrite the properties from the other profile source.
I'd combine them into 1 profile source but DS1 is the active directory profile source so I don't want to have to edit it or create my own.
Is there any way around this?

At the very least reconcile the shared data fields and eliminate them from whichever source is less used.

  • LDAP Profile Source

    Hi, I've got a problem with LDAP Profile Source.
    In my LDAP I've got two OU for my user. In the first ou "ou=People" I've got : uid, Name, Society and in the second ou "ou=Society" Address, Telephone, Fax.
    I don't know how to get data from multi OU with LDAP Profile Object.

    Along the lines of what Mark was saying - you must have a single auth source that is bringing in multiple OUs. The trick is that you can have multiple profile sources, simply set the query base in each to your specific OU with the specific property map for that OU. Set each profile source to profile sync the everyone group for your auth source. Each user in the entire auth source will be sync'd by each profile source, but the users will only match one of the two profile sources. This way they get properly sync'd and you get the correct vars.
    The other thing you can do is simply setup a single profile source, put all the properties in the property map regardless of OU. Only the properties that values exist for will get imported to the users they exist for. If you want to limit the props however (i.e. they actually exist for both OU's but you only want the ones you specify to show up), then you need to take the 2 profile source route.

    Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

    Assuming the scans are all PDFs, here is one easy way:
    Open the first PDF in Preview.
    Duplicate (File > Duplicate) if you want to preserve the original.
    Choose View > Contact Sheet.
    Drag and drop the other files from the Finder into the Contact Sheet window. You can select the files one at a time or multiple files at once.
    Arrange the contact sheet icons in the desired order.

  • Creating multiple profiles, using unified profile types, to store multiple values for same properties

    Hi All:
    I am trying to create multiple profiles, using unified profile types, to
    store multiple values for same properties. Here my intention of using
    'unified profile types' is to create multiple profiles (to store multiple
    values for a property). All the properties are stored in the same database
    maintained by Personalization server. Also, I am trying to use the same
    'USER' ejb as profile class/home/pk/jndi.
    The scenerio is,
    define unified profile types (Business, Vacation) using Personalization
    admin tools, using com.beasys.commerce.axiom.contact.User,
    com.beasys.commerce.axiom.contact.UserHome,
    com.beasys.commerce.axiom.contact.UserPk,
    com.beasys.commerce.axiom.contact.User for Profile Class, Home, Pk class,
    JNDI name respectively.
    Define Property set 'HotelCommerce' with property
    HotelProp as single, restricted, text (valid values Single, Double)
    Now you can use the attached jsp files to login as a user and try to set the
    property value for HotelProp for each profile. As per my understanding, I
    was expecting that I can set different values for the property 'HotelProp'
    for each profiles. But unexpectedly, all the profiles get the same value.
    Question. is it the correct behavior? if yes, how can I achieve this
    functionality?
    if not, do you see any problem in my scripts?
    your answer asap is appreciated. we need to make decision on using
    Personalization server v/s developing our own Personalization server!!!:)
    thanks,

    This is not the purpose of the UUP. The UUP is used to allow existing
    database schemas to be aggregated with the existing Weblogic Personalization
    Server database schema to provide a single, customized user profile with which
    to maintain the user properties (
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlcs/p13n/users.htm#1068901 )
    If you want to have properties that change value based on some "profile" or
    classification of a user, then you should use classifier rules to change the
    user from "OnVacation" to "AtWork" or "AtHome". You can use these classifier
    rules to select content for the user or conditionally execute logic (

  • Is there a way to combine data from multiple responses (collected from different forms)?

    Since FormCentral (FC) doesn't support XFA-based dynamic forms (utilizing form logic), we have a long form that we may need to separate out into smaller PDF forms.  However, the data from each form needs to remain as a group. Wondering if there's a way to combine data form individual forms using FC, or maybe simple solution after-the-fact. I presume there would have to be some sort of unique identifier on each form as a reference.
    NOTE: These are PDF forms imported into FC, not web forms created in FC.

    Hi;
    There are not any methods that FormsCentral provides.  You would not be able to combine it within FormsCentral, you can experiment with exporting the data from FormsCentral to Excel and then combining in Excel.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!!!

  • HT1451 I ripped a 2-cd album to iTunes on my PC.  It downloaded as 5 separate albums.  Is there a way to combine those back into one album?

    I ripped a 2-CD album to iTunes on my PC.  It downloaded as 5 separate albums.  Is there a way to combine those back into the original one album?

    Yes there is tho it may get pretty redundant if you have many 2-CD albums as i had once. Using the "control" key select all five albums. Right click the selected albums and select "Get Info". If this is your first time it may ask you if you are sure you want to edit multiple albums. Click "Yes". Fill in / affirm the correctness of the grid in fron of you. Check all of the boxes BUT THE TRACK #  BOXES AND ARTWORK . This will tell iTunes that all of the albums are one and the same. click "ok". One album with the correct title should appear. Select all the tracks that were on the second disk and again right click and select get info. enter into the disk # space "2" of "2". If your version of iTunes is up-to-date this will make it a 2 disk album. If you would like you get select "Get Info" again just to make sure all is good.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Joining multiple tables across multiple data sources in MYSQL throws error

    Hi all,
    I have to join tables across multiples MYSQL databases
    eg :
    Table T1,T2 from DB1
    Table T3 from DB2
    Columns from T3 are aggregated ( dimensional column ).
    Hence when i query using oracle answers ( say i have columns from T1,T2 and T3 ) , OBIEE tries to a query DB1 by having NULL for columns in T3
    It uses cast(NULL as INTEGER ) for columns from T3 . But MYSQL throws an error because "cast(NULL as INTEGER )" is not supported by MYSQL.
    I tried executing the query generated by OBIEE manually , if i try giving cast(NULL as SIGNED INTEGER ) , it works.
    pasting the query for reference
    select distinct D1.c2 as c1,
    D1.c1 as c2,
    cast(NULL as INTEGER ) as c3
    from
    (select distinct T87.title_id as c1,
    T59.asin as c2
    from
    print_book_catalog T59 left outer join
    title_authority T87 On T59.asin = T87.asin
    where ( T59.asin = '0345378911' )
    ) D1
    I am not able to find any config file to set this property ( and use signed integer instead of integer ) . Even DBFeatures.INI does not have relevant information.
    Can someobody please help me solve this problem.
