Multiple reporting instances within application

Hi,
Can I have 2 analytics instances in different tabs within the Siebel application. One reporting tab pointing to the production database instance and the other to the archival database instance.
Thanks.

Well that is something you may as well do in the RPD rather than duplicating the reports & dashboards. From your statement I take it that you want to have the same reports for the production and the backup system. You have several options for that:
1.) You can simply have the report objects you have and by combining the two different data sources in the LTS of your business models, map your models to both sources and depending on which timeframe you choose in the prompt on the dashboards, the query will be fired against the one, the other or both data sources.
This means that you have a seamless integration and users will not even notice that there's a physical break between the sources.
2.) In case your requirements are to HAVE a break between the sources so that users are explicitly discovering production data or archived data you can use the approach I described here:
http://hekatonkheires.blogspot.com/2009/10/obiee-101341-dynamic-data-source.html
This means one single prompt and you can change the scope of all your analyses.
Both these options allow you to keep your webcat simple and singular. No duplication.
Is this something that'd suit your requirements?

Pros and Cons of Application Isolation/Multiple server instances?

Hi. I'm setting a new server using ColdFusion Enterprise with Apache to migrate several web application from and old server with ColdFusion 7 server. I'm currently doing research regarding multiple server instances in order to have a separate server for production apps and another for development apps (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf363c31-7ff 5.html and https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/Using+Multiple+Server+Instanceshttp:/ /). In addition, I'm also doing research regarding application isolation to have separate production application in separate servers. I'm trying to identify all pros and cons for both "Application Isolation" and "Multiple Server Instances" to make a decision on whether I will proceed in applying these techniques. I have found several links that talk about some of the advantages but have not been able to find anything regarding possible disadvantages. Have anyone in this forum has used any of the techniques, and can provide more information/experiences regarding the pros and cons?

Hi Ricardo_Lorenzo,
Whether to go for Multiserver instances or Single server, is totally a user requirement based decison. If a user has Single website, or multiple websites (of the same nature, in terms of functionality), usually the part of same domain, then they would go for Single sever installation. One single instance will handle the requests from all the websites (if there are multiple). There would not be a clustering/failover setup within ColdFusion and can use the ColdFusion Standard or Enterprise version.
On the other hand, if a user has multiple websites, all with different functionality and have multiple applications (may or may not) running, then they can go for Multiserver installation. Each website can be configured with individual instances. Clustering can be done within ColdFusion if needed. One would need an Enterprise license of ColdFusion for the same.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to deploy SharePoint or its Service Applications on: multiple DB-Servers and multiple SQL Instances?

Hello Forum,
We have a SharePoint 2013 farm (Enterprise edition) that uses one single SQL Server 2012 (Standard edition). That statement means: All my SharePoint DBs e.g. (Config, Admin, Content, and Service Apps) DBs are hosted and running onto one single instance e.g.
Server1\SQLInstance1.
We have some new requirements to install and configure BI tools such as: PerformancePoint services and PowerPivot. BI tools require either SQL Server 2012 Enterprise or BI editions, and we do NOT want to upgrade our current SQL Server1\SQLInstance1
Instead, We have other separate SQL Server instance which is enterprise edition let's name it (ServerX\InstanceX) that is running standalone, and we are thinking or using it, and my 2 questions are:
1) Can we use this other separate
SQL Server instance which is enterprise edition to host the create and hosts the DBs of PerformancePoint services and PowerPivot ?
2) My second question is the same: Can I create PerformancePoint services application in my SharePoint farm, But in the Database Server field, I fill up
the details of the other DB server ServerX\InstanceX which is the one that is SQL
enterprise edition ? Will this work ?
Any official Microsoft resources/links tell that it is possible to deploy SharePoint or its service applications on multiple DB-Servers and multiple SQL Instances?

Thank you Alex and Anil,
What are the ramifications of that?
I mean, Assuming that I have created such a farm where most of SarePoint DBs in Standard SQL instance while the PerformancePoint service application and others e.g. PowerPivot and reporting service are deployed and configured onto other Enterprise SQL instance.
Are there any recommendations or concerns that you would like to draw my attention to ?

Start a BO report from within a web-application.

Hi,
An enuser want to start a BO report from within a web-application.
The BO report ideally should not prompt for a login. The fact that we are using BO for reporting purposes should be transparent to the end users. The report should produce its output directly in Excel (pdf?) format. In WebI i can do a 'Save As' to obtain this, but it should go automatically so that the end users get their response directly in Excel
the report should be parametrized. These parameters will be added to the URL by the calling application.
To do a basic test of the Opendocument.jsp i created a number of test reports in WEBI, and i use the following URLs to execute them directly
http://s-olaf-vtst150:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?&sPath=[My reports]&sDocName=tmsd1&sType=rep&sRefresh=Y
http://s-olaf-vtst150:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?&sPath=[My reports]&sDocName=Yearselection&sType=rep&sRefresh=Y&lsSYear:=2002
So this covers points 1 & 4
What are the options for points 2 & 3?
Kind regards,
Johan

The BO XI 3.1 environment works quite well now.
Two more questions:
1. When a user being member of the Readers group, still sees the Edit button in Webapplication - Infoview. Is it possible to hide or disable that Edit button ?
2. Is it possible to make a user only seeing a part of the data in the universe ? When a query is run with a parameter, the user ses the parameter in the left column ... but in that way a normal user can change the value of that parameter giving him the possibility to see things he should not see. Making a separate query per user is overkill and too much work to do. Is BO XI 3.1 able to offer this possibility and how ?
Rgds,
Johan

Can I make the summary report tabulate multiple sheets placed within the "view responses" area?

Hmmm...I thought this tool was going to be a good replacement for Survey Monkey. I was wrong. I definitely need a way to tabulate responses from multiple surveys so that I can roll them up by region or state or district. Do you have any suggestions of how I could accomplish this in AFC?

One Oracle Application Server and multiple OC4J Instances

While we are getting new server (for development) we have to set-up a Development and Production enviroment for our project (dont have previous OAS installation) but on the same machine.
So, is a good option to have One OAS INstallation (Ora Home) and then create multiple OC4J instances, one for each environment (Development, QA and Production)?, is it possible? How to manage deployments between OC4J instances, simulating different contexts if they are in the same server and under the same HTTP Server? Will be there conflicts?

Hi,
you can do this and OracleAs will manage the different instances. The deployment can be done with Enterprise Manager in which case you select the OC4J instance first before deploying. If deploying from JDeveloper, you can specify the OC4J instance when creating the named connection

Hyperion Smart Cut Session Issue streaming multiple reports at a time using

This is a lengthly post with details, Please review with Patience:
We are trying to integrate Workspace based web Analysis reports within our intranet portal, thru portlets (made from individual workspace smartcut link), so that users can customize their page as needed, Once they login thru intranet, Cookie is set and passed to succeeding smart cut links via secured http headers. This part is fine, but mainly running into issue with streaming several multiple web-analysis reports at a time,+ we are using Iframe to display and stream multiple individual reports on to one page, but unfortunately all Iframes are sharing one session rather than creating individual session, mostly because of limitation of current web analysis system architecture and IE browser behavior with sessions .
Which Hyperion reporting tool does allow to stream multiple reports at a time? ideally we want to create Iframe of each workspace report so that users can customize and pick portlets as needed. To stream multiple reports at a time.
Problem Description: Hypeiron Web Analsysis, Smart cut reports incorrectly rendering images and intermixing dash boards on POV changes upon multiple reports being diplayed at one time thru Iframe's, issue seem to mostly relate to Hyperion using single session rather to multiple session when displaying several web reports at a time.
Steps Needed To Reproduce:
User logs into workspace.
user click on expolore and able to view the report without any issues.
When right on any of the report and select properties.
Select the SmartCut url and paste it in the Internet explorer.
The webanalysis report opens without any issues.
Similarly user copies the smartcut url for a different report and paste the link on a different tab or new window of same browser.
The report on the first tab gets over written of the report of the second tab of the browser.
The issue happens when two different reports and opened on a browser with multiple tabs. The reports get over written.
Oracle development answer:
In the described scenario opening new browser window does not spawn a separate independent browser session. A new browser window is supplied with URL pointing to the same domain, so all browser cookies including the "ORA_WA_SID" (WA session cookie) are shared between the windows. But multiple application instances cannot run in the same browser session simultaneously because of session sharing. This is not actually a defect, but rather a limitation of current system architecture and browser behavior. And there is no way to fix it programmatically on the product side.

Hi MeHyper,
Your current arrangement puts most of the session handling and persistence on the client. This forces you to accept whatever the client decides to persist and propogate between browser elements (in this case iframes).
My approach would be to:
Consider coding your portlets to manage the sessions. Manage using a somewhat stateless strategy so that each request to the server requires a login and connect, retrieve, and disconnect. Each Iframe should access a different portlet url (or provide a different query) based on its content.
This way, in theory, you can invalidate the sessions and related cookies and update the various report elements independently.
Is smartview out of the question here?

Hello Jani Rautiainen,
    Thanks a lot for replying my question.
    This is the first time i am working with the BI Publisher reports and fusion applications.
    My requirement is to add few columns to the standard report with out loosing the functionality.
    I was not aware that there is two ways of doing this, i was always copying data model and report to a new folder and trying to create a new job for the report.
    As mentioned in the document 7.2.1.4 Using the Customize Feature    , i clicked on the more button on my report but i do not see the customize option. Do i need to have any specific role for this to appear in the menu? Please kindly let me know.
    Also i see below limitations while customizing report
Limitations
Following are limitations of the Customize report option:
The Customize option is only available through direct access to the BI Publisher server using the /xmlpserver URL (for example:http://hostname.com:7001/xmlpserver). The Customize option is not available through the /analytics URL used to access Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
The Customize option is available only for reports. The Customize option is not available for data models, style templates, or sub templates.To customize data models, style templates or sub templates and insulate them from potential changes from patching: Make a copy of the data model, style template, or sub-template and either rename it or place it in a custom folder. Ensure that you update any reports to point to the customized data model, style template, or sub template.
    My requirement is to add few additional columns which needs Data Model to be modified, Can i copy the data model to the custom folder and do my modifications and point this data model in the report(as mentioned in the point 2 in the limitations)? In that case, will the original report submission works?

How to schedule webi report in bulk (multiple report in one request)

hi,
I am little bit new to BOXI. I have little bit work experience in Crystal X on scheduling which was used in one of our enterprise java application. We are exploring options in BOXI.
Currently i am scheduling a report with following api
infoStore.schedule (webiDocs);
This will schedule one report instance.
My question is
Is there any way to schedule multiple instances of a same report in one request.
Is there any way to schedule multiple instances of a different report in one request.
If above things are possible please provide the apis for the same.
thanks in advance
Shreenidhi

Scheduling multiple Webi reports in one command:
infoStore.schedule takes 1 arhgument of type IInfoObjects which is a collection of InfoObject. IInfoObjects is retrieved by the query. So if you to retrieve all the Webi Docs you want to schedule , then with infoStore.schedule(WebiDocs), it will schedule them all in 1 shot. Scheduling Info properties for each Webi Docs should also be set. Please refer to the samples on scheduling at link below.
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/3211
Scheduling one Webi Doc multiple times in one command:
I donu2019t think it can be done in one command. Do you want to schedule the object multiple times each time running it with different prompts? Or do you want it to be sent to different destination in each schedule? Otherwise you can schedule it once and then access the scheduled instance multiple times.
I hope this helps.

Multiple BW Instance question

Getting lost wading through the plethora of information available, so any direct pointers to information that directly addresses the following would be appreciated, in addition to any direct answers of course!
Consider a multiple BW instance, with a staging layer, and integration layer, and multiple analytic layers (one large one, and a couple smaller ones that operate at different service levels).
If we upgrade staging to 3.5, do all the rest have to tag along (staging feeds integration and one other, integration gets data from staging and feeds all the rest).
If we upgrade to 7.0, or whatever they are going to call it, will every system have to upgrade, or are the BW to BW connections backwardly compatable.
Major reason for considering this architecture is the ability to have a couple target BW's at higher or lower releases/service pack levels as warranted by the specific applications using them (e.g. SEM wanting SP's faster than the uber BW can test and apply them). However, if we have to keep all systems in synch, then this is NOT a viable option.
Mark Marty
EBIS Architect
Mckesson

This is based on some work being done by another member of the Terabyte club, and we have similar sized landscapes.
The key concerns are, with a single instance of BW, and ~ 10M rows of raw transactions migrating into the system each night (SD - BO, DD, SO's, MM, COPA, it all adds up), it is not clear to us that BW could handle all data rationalization, transformation and dissemination tasks. We have significant legacy transactions and master data that needs to be merged with a good portion of the R/3 data.
In our current environment, 90% of this is done outside of BW, using Datastage and a Data Provisioning Area. Even with sending only clean, merged, ready to load to target data, our load windows are increasing, and our backup window is scary.
This new effort is an attempt to separate key data needs so that certain things that need to be more responsive can be made available earlier. Additionally, this landscape is going to test out and prove or disprove the ability to do this volume of ETL wholly within a BW environment, rather than leveraging on other marketplace tools and techniques. Needless to say, this is a hot topic, internally we have a slant towards best in breed, and consultatively everyone wants it all to be the SAP suite of tools. Hence, we will build it and see.
Splitting Staging from Integration is not necessary (likely) from a purely technical need, however it has proven useful at another company, and we are going to explore it and determine the efficacy ourselves.

IHAT multiple iAS instances in the same view.

I have three iAS instances installed on the same node, the iHAT is also installed and running from the same node.
iHAT Version: 10.1.3
APPSERVERS:
- INFRA - ORACLE_HOME01
- MIDTIER#1 - Forms / Report - ORACLE_HOME02
- MIDTIER#2 - Discoverer - ORACLE_HOME03
I installed iHAT and started the JAVA server, (3 sessions on different ports. 8096, 8097 and 8098)
Everything works well and i can monitor the application servers on the different ports from the web browser.
Then over to my question, is it possible to monitor all three IAS servers from only one running iHAT view? And if so, how is this possible.
Best regards,
Roberth Steiner

Yes.. I need to use different port and I could resolve by following steps
There is a way in Oracle Application Server to achieve this. However, it requires a different installation type and additional configuration, Following are the steps that you need to take.
a) Install Oracle Application Server with J2EE Server only option, this is in Advanced Installation, also, please select the option: Configure this as an Administration OC4J Instance.
b) Access Oracle Application Server control console
c) Create the OC4J instances, by default, it has a home instance, then you need create additional instances: say example placeagra, placeexcalibur.
d) Stop Oracle Application Server.
e) Edit [oracle-appserver-root]/opmn/conf/opmn.xml
Replace OC4J instance placeagra's port definition for default-web-site
from <port id="default-web-site" range="12501-12600" protocol="ajp"/> to <port id="default-web-site" range="8889" protocol="http"/>
Replace OC4J instance placeexcalibur's port definition for default-web-site
from <port id="default-web-site" range="12501-12600" protocol="ajp"/> to <port id="default-web-site" range="8890" protocol="http"/>
f) Start Oracle Application Server
g) Install your applications into these instances through application control console. (You can only use home's ascontrol)
* This should work fine. If you go to [oracle-appserver-root]/opmn/bin directory, type "opmnctl status -l", you will see that you have multiple HTTP server services running, each with different port.
* This is identical to Weblogic's set up, however, this is not recommended for production, since the embedded HTTP server in Oracle Application J2EE server is only for application management, just as weblogic.
* You can only access application console through home's http server, since ascontrol application for other instances are always in down mode.

How To Install Multiple OBIEE Instances On One Linux Machine

Hi,
OS: Red Hat ES 5.2
OBIEE : 10.1.3.4

and now I have installed OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on same Linux Server with different user(ora2b) and different mount point (Deployed on Another Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.4 )
But My OBIEE was not working and I came to know that only one can be working by default.
After following few notes i have update NQSConfig.inc and odbc.ini with different ports ie from 9704 to 9725 and bounced BI server and presentation server
But still its not working can any one tell me what are all needs to update to make it work
Thanks in advance

See my first OBIEE instance URL is http://hostname18.oracle.com:7777/analytics (As i deployed OBIEE on Application server 10g(OAS1))
and second one is http://hostname18.oracle.com:7778/analytics (As i deployed OBIEE on another Application server 10g(OAS2))
Also My port for first OBIEE instance is 9704 and second one is 9725(Which i changed to this)
Now tell me what are all i should update

How Can I Use Multiple Weblogic Instances in a Single OS

Hello Everyone,
Actually I have to install Some different applications. Few of them need weblogic 10.3.6 and others need 10.3.4. The OS am using is Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.
Now I am able to install 2 separate(One of 10.3.4 and 10.3.6) instances with two different users,In two different directories.
I have installed the weblogic 10.3.6 version with a user webadmin and installed node manager with port 5556. This is working fine.
The main problem here is :
In the second instance (10.3.4 ) installed with a a different user and gave the port number to NodeManager as 1600 and its not getting started. Its throwing error and also after some errors in the terminal am able to see that its reverting to port number 5556 only.
What might be the issue?
I have to install 2 different versions of weblogic in a single Server. But am failing with NodeManager. What Can I do to have multiple weblogic instances with multiple versions in a single server ?
Can anyone suggest a resolution for this please ?
Thanks in advance.
