Multiple repositories or multiple workareas?

Hi,
We have only one global shared workarea for our current database environments.
We will hold database objects of a different environment (another oracle database) in designer.
But we couldn't decide to use a second repository or a second shared workarea for that. Even another application/child appplications in the same workarea?
Which is the most advantegous one?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi,
We've just installed Designer 10g R2 (the 10.1.2.4 patch). We have not enabled versioning for the moment, and I am not able to create new Workareas, apart from the GLOBAL SHARED WORKAREA.
It seems that this functionality is only available if versioning is enabled.
My first question is: why is this?
Secondly, I want a way to tidy up the large list of application systems we've migrated into Designer 10g from 6.0 as viewed in the RON. I was actually told by somebody from Oracle UK that we could create new Workareas to do this if versioning wasn't enabled (obviously not!).
It seems like my only option is to set the Access Rights for each user, i.e. if they have none on an application system, it won't appear in their view of the RON? We have multiple copies of some 6.0 application systems (the old ones were frozen), and we don't want users having to trawl through all of these to get the latest - we'd like them to see just the latest version of things (as you could do in 6.0 as the default), and select a frozen version if they specifically want to.
Any sugggestions as to how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Antony

Usage Tracking for BI Server Hosting Multiple Repositories

Hi all,
I've got my BI Server hosting two repositories:
[ REPOSITORY ]
DemoApp1 = DemoApp1.rpd, DEFAULT;
DemoApp2 = DemoApp2.rpd;
And started two Presentation Services connecting to these two repositories respectively, and two web front-ends at /analytics and /analytics2 to display the two different catalogs.
Next, I enabled usage tracking with direct insert to the following physical table:
PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "OBIEEREP".""."OBIEEREP"."S_NQ_ACCT" ;
CONNECTION_POOL = "OBIEEREP"."Connection Pool" ;
Both repositories has the above physical table and connection pool defined. In DemoApp1.rpd, "OBIEEREP"."Connection Pool" points to a database OBIEEDB1, and in DemoApp2.rpd, it points to a database OBIEEDB2.
But then the problem occurs. All usage tracking data are inserted to OBIEEDB1 only, no matter which web front-end they are from. I tried removing the "DEFAULT" from NQSConfig.ini, but this doesn't help.
Is there any way to configure BI Server to insert usage tracking data from /analytics to OBIEEDB1, and those from /analytics2 to OBIEEDB2?
Thanks very much!!!

HI Kaphenda,
That's probably just a side-effect of having two repositories. Keep in mind that having multiple repositories and multiple presentation servers is not support by Oracle, so they were not on the hook to modify the Usage Tracking algorithm to write to two different databases. It seems to me like they either didn't anticipate this scenario, or they didn't want to program for this scenario.
I don't think you have too many options in terms of making OBIEE insert the traffic logs into the appropriate database. However, once the data has been inserted, you can do just about anything you want to it in terms of ETL, triggers, materialized views, etc.
Here's what I would recommend:
1) Have the OBIEE usage tracking information logged into a neutral schema.
2) Write a materialized view in database 1: CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW S_NQ_ACCT AS SELECT * from S_NQ_ACCT@NEUTRAL_SERVER WHERE REPOSITORY_NAME = 'DemoApp1'
3) Write a materialized view in database 2: CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW S_NQ_ACCT AS SELECT * from S_NQ_ACCT@NEUTRAL_SERVER WHERE REPOSITORY_NAME = 'DemoApp2'
You can specify the refresh frequency of these materialized views to be as frequent as you want. The great thing about this strategy is that you get the best of all worlds. Each database has the traffic information broken down by their personal RPD. But the neutral schema can provide Global reporting across both repositories which can be very valuable itself.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,
-Joe

Multiple repositories in 1 bi server ...with PS catalog....in OBIEE 11g

Any body attempted to do this ? Having multiple repositories in 1 biserver....with multiple webcatalog used in 2 PS on same machine. This doesn't seem to work in OBIEE11g. Analytics.ear contains lots of new deployment descriptors for web.xml in 11g.

We did exactly what was stated for 11g. The below 2 urls were used to do it 11g . we have 2 urls
http://xxxx:9704/analytics (default rep ,catalog)
http://xxxxx:9704/analytics_appa ( 2nd rep and catalog)
We can see repositories are loaded online but when we access sometimes it goes to the wrong rpd/webcatalog. Some caching or something is going on from browser.
Any body attempted this setup ? We have opened a ticket with oracle but no good response.
Thanks

How to handle multiple repositories with 11g

Hi all,
this question probably is easy but is right that the only way to manage multiple repositories is to have multiple BIEE 11g installation?
With old 10g with OC4J having multiple installation was quite simple, but here with all weblogic environment is becoming more complex.
I have two branches in my organisation, each one has 3 different environments: test, preproduction and production with a different repository for each one of course.
As I have to meet also High Availabilty requirements I have deployed a two different 2nodes cluster. One cluster has 4 envs and the other one just 2 prods.
All is installed but I still trying to understand or to find a way just to share some resources as for example weblogic server... may a single weblogic installation manage more BI domains?
Thanks
Stefano

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I come from a BusinessObjects background where you can have as many universes (metadata layers) as you want on your server. I'm trying to figure out a way to replicate that scenario with OBIEE. We have some databases that are so completely unrelated that it doesn't make sense to me to have them all in one big repository, but I don't want to have multiple servers either.

SRM MDM with Multiple Repositories and required S&A.

Hello everyone,
We are in the planning process to migrate from CCM to MDM. Our current environment has two separate customers running on two separate SAP clients in SRM 5.0 using the internal CCM (one SAP SRM instance, 2 separate SAP clients).
In MDM it seems the concept of SAP client does not exist but the concept of an MDM Repository. I was thinking that by creating two dfifferent repositories (one for each customer) it would substitue the concept of the internal CCM on each SAP client.
Can we have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers with the required S&A?
That is, customer A will logon to MDM to maintain only A's repository. Customer A must not be allowed to access B's repository and viceversa.
Also, Repository A would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client A, and Repository B would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client B.
The intention is that each customer will have their own electronic catalog.
Thank you.
Martin

Hi Martin,
The answer to your question is yes, it is possible to have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers (that intend to have different electronic catalogs).
In fact, I think this would be the best way to separate: 1. data sets, 2. access.
1. Each MDM repository carries its own data set (like SAP client)
2. Each MDM repository has its own security (users/passwords, roles, etc.)
Another consideration (relates to point 1) is bringing data from SAP client (e.g. product master, contracts). Since you have two different SAP clients, managing replicated data from both of them in one MDM repository would be a form of suicide.
You can have multiple repositories on one MDM server. A common case is when you have a staging (master) repository, and a production (slave) repository. The slave repository is what you show to searching end users; the master repository is for data loads. You synchronize the slave repository with any changes from the master at such time when you're sure the master is good to publish.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Serguei

Loading multiple repositories in 11g

Hi,
Is loading of multiple repositories possible in 11g. when I load a repository using fusion middle ware I am only able to see one subject area in Answers.
I would like to see multiple subject areas in answers, How is this possible?
Thanks,
LA

LA, you can see multiple SA using only 1 repository. You can create different projects in your repository, using different data sources and creating different subject areas (Presentation Layer). Then you upload that only repository and you'll be able to see all the subject areas.

SAP Content Server Configuration multiple repositories

Dear Gurus,
We have a content server configured with SAP CRM.
Recently we faced issue with large size of generic object created by user monthly in SAP R/3 (SOFFCONT1 growth ) thus we are considering to use content server for generic object storage.
Could you please advice?
1. As far as I know , I can have multiple repositories in content server thus can have my R/3 and CRM repositories in same content server , Please correct me , Any importent aspect which should be consider while doing such( except growth recalculation and user load for additional R/3 system).
2. We are running SAP R/3 from past few years and we have a huge number of generic objects in R/3 database.
Is it possible to migrate existing generic object to content server?
Thank you

Selecting a repository when multiple repositories are available

Hi,
We are trying to configure access to multiple repositories. We have Two entries in NQSConfig.INI:
[ REPOSITORY ]
Repo1 = Repository1.rpd, DEFAULT;
Repo2 = Repository2.rpd;
However, there doesn't seem to be any way to select which repository to use when you login. I only see the Subject Areas of Repo1, I can't access anything in Repo2. Is there any configuration files that need to be modify to support the selection of the repository?
Thanks,
Stephane.

Our client needed 3 repositories set up, which dictates 1 Presentation server per repository.
Here's what I did:
Installed OAS and OBI (full install) to a single location (Oracle HTTP is not running, but is installed in a separate DMZ with a FW between):
$HOME/10.1.3.1
$HOME/OracleBI
$HOME/OracleBIData
copied all the repositories to OracleBI/server/Repository.
Pointed to the repositories in NQSConfig.INI
All normal, so far... here's the tricky part:
I created 3 new Virtual IPs and bound them to the physical interface on the server.
Navigated to OracleBIData/web/config
copied instanceconfig.xml to:
- instanceconfig_APP1.xml
- instanceconfig_APP2.xml
- instanceconfig_APP3.xml
where APP# is the name of my apps.
Modified each instanceconfig_APP#.xml to add:
<Listener address="VIP1" port="9710">
where VIP1 is one of the virtual IPs assigned to the server (one VIP per app, so APP1 gets VIP1, APP2 gets VIP2, etc.).
This allows the same presentation install to start multiple servers (almost).
The next mod:
in OracleBI/setup, I copied run-saw.sh to run-all-saw.sh
The check to see if a sawserver is already running is a crappy one - it just runs:
ps -ef | grep "user" | grep sawserv
or something similar, which is garbage, since there is really no reason that the same user can't start multiple Presentation servers on different ports and/or IPs.
so - I modified run-all-saw.sh... here's a snippet of the "start)" section of the case statement (near the bottom of the script):
elif test "$pid" ; then
# Commented echo "Oracle BI Presentation Services is already running."
echo "Oracle BI Java Host startup initiated."
echo "Please check '${javahost_logfile}' for Oracle BI Java Host startup details."
echo "Please go to the '${SADATADIR}/web/log/javahost' directory for Oracle BI Java Host log files."
start_javahost
# Added the next line to force a start of the saw server
start_saw
----End Snippet----
So that forces the saw server to try and start, even if it finds a saw server already running (sure, there are other ways to make that a cleaner check, but I wanted to be minimally invasive for maintenance/upgrade purposes).
Now, the last step:
in the $HOME, I created 4 scripts:
start_saw_APP1.sh
start_saw_APP2.sh
start_saw_APP3.sh
start_saw_ALL.sh
The start_saw_ALL.sh is the simplest... it just calls the other 3 script in order from APP1 to APP3, with a sleep 5 command in between:
----Begin start_saw_ALL.sh----
$HOME/start_saw_APP1.sh
sleep 5
$HOME/start_saw_APP2.sh
sleep 5
$HOME/start_saw_APP3.sh
----End start_saw_ALL.sh----
The sleep command gives the presentation server ample time to read the .xml file before slamming in the next file in the list. I tried without the sleep lines, and only the last server instance started up. You might need to adjust these to longer times if you experience issues...
The start_saw_APP1.sh script is:
----Begin start_saw_APP1.sh----
cp $HOME/OracleBIData/web/config/instanceconfig_APP1.xml $HOME/OracleBIData/web/config/instanceconfig.xml
$HOME/OracleBI/setup/run-all-saw.sh
----End start_saw_APP1.sh----
so when I start all three, I can do netstat -a | grep 9710, and I see:
VIP1.9710 LISTENING
VIP2.9710 LISTENING
VIP3.9710 LISTENING
On the Oracle HTTP Server, I deployed the analytics.war to APP1, APP2, APP3, and modified those web.xmls to point to their respective VIP:9710 addresses (APP1's web.xml uses VIP1:9710, APP2 uses VIP2, etc.).
This allows ONLY port 9710 to be opened in the firewall from the DMZ to the internal network, and only ports 7777 and 4443 external.
Nice and secure, and doesn't require maintaining one Presentation install per application.
The instanceconfig.xml is the ONLY thing that is holding us back from using multiple repositories in the same instance... if the instanceconfig.xml was allowed to contain multiple Server Instance tags, this wouldn't be an issue (I tried that too, it doesn't work).
I'm working on a way to shut down one instance at a time - that issue revolves around the same "idiot check" that the start process does to see if more than one Presentation server is running. For now, I'm just using run-saw.sh stop, which brings down all 3 instances.
Good luck everyone... happy to answer any questions you might have. I would imagine that a similar setup would work just find on Windows server - I know you can bind multiple IPs to a single NIC, so you should be in the same boat.
Cheers!

Subversion serving multiple repositories with systemd startup

Hello.
I'm trying to set up a simple svn server, serving multiple repositories.
I was able to correctly set up single repository using guide from archwiki, now I'm trying to serve multiple repositories.
I've modified the /etc/conf.d/svnserve file to point to parent directory of those repositories, so instead of
-r /path/to/repos/repo1
it reads
-r /path/to/repos
However when I try to start subversion I get the following output
? svnserve.service
Loaded: error (Reason: Is a directory)
Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2014-11-20 21:17:01 CET; 18min ago
Main PID: 24680 (code=killed, signal=TERM)
Now, when I try to start svnserve from shell, using this command
svnserve -d -r /path/to/repos
it starts normally and I am able to access all repositories. Adding and removing -d in /etc/conf.d/svnserve has no effect on error message.
Any thoughts?

The problem has been solved.
The error message:
Loaded: error (Reason: Is a directory)
came from systemctl, specifically from /etc/systemd/system/svnserve.service being a directory.
The fix was to remove that directory
sudo rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/svnserve.service
and enabling/starting svnserve
systemctl enable svnserve
systemctl start svnserve
Hope this will help someone having similar problem.

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

Multiple Domain files, Multiple Sites, Publishing Problems

I am frustrated beyond belief. I'm an old hand-coder, coming from BBEdit, but I've been using iWeb almost exclusively since its release, because it really is a great product for quick, easy, stylish designs.
However.... In that year, my collection of sites has grown to 12. Discovering that iWeb becomes a major dog when dealing with that much material, I found and followed the instructions - today - to separate my sites into individual domain files, and edit them individually. iWeb is much snappier and publishing goes much more quickly.
The problem? Well... after editing, "Publish to .Mac" rarely works. Only "Publish All to .Mac" will get the site online (something about an error with the index.html file). But "Publish All to .Mac", I've just discovered, DELETES the other websites that I have previous published. All day I've been doing updates and publishing my sites, only to discover that the uploads have all been wiped out by the most recent one!
I'm a big enough fellow to admit that my knowledge isn't total nor perfect - so please, would someone out there with a better handle on iWeb than I (preferably someone who actually deals with multiple domain files rather than someone who thinks they can guess the problem) please clue me into how we make use of this program non-destructively?
I suppose I could always publish everything to folders and upload it to my iDisk (which itself remains ridiculously slow after how many years now? Sheesh!), but that detracts from the elegance of the .Mac integration, the counter features, - not to mention the little fact that I'm a paying .Mac customer and this darn thing should just work, no?

Mark:
I was where you were also. You should give iWebSites a try. It's to iWeb what iPhoto Library Manager is to iPhoto.
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Just remember to put a copy of your current Domain.sites file somewhere else on your HD in case the splitting gets messed up. It went very smoothly for me and I now manage 19 or so sites.

Multiple Macs with multiple user accounts

I have a Mac computer connected to airport and use Time Machine for backups. This works well.
I have now purchased a second Mac and would like to include this second Mac so that I can move between Macs and work. There does not appear to be any mechanism to allow this.

After searching the web and the discussion here, here's my minimal impact solution for multiple Macs with multiple users in a household:
1) Set up Mac1 for myself only
2) Set up Mac2 for the wife and kid
3) Set up each Mac to backup to the Airport base station using Time Machine (this would create two separate backups on the Airport base station's drive, which from what I've read has its own problems)
4) On Mac1 setup "empty user accounts" for the wife and kid. These will not have any files in them - just an access mechanism. If they want to access their files, they can use Time Machine's "The Browse Other Backup Disks Option" to get their file from Mac2, work on it and then drop it in the Shared Folder. Next time they are on Mac2, remember to copy the updated/created file from the Shared Folder into their Mac2 user account. If possible, get Time Machine to not backup the "empty user accounts".
5) Do the same for me on Mac2.
Not the most elegant solution, but until Apple get off their backside and make this seamless, I can't think of anything else :-( .
P.S. iCloud is not a soluton since it costs hundreds of dollars a year, uses up intenet data allowance and is slow.
