Need Help in Extracting result from Oracle BI 11g to Exter apps.

Hi,
The Web Services Bridge invoker which used to work on 10g doesn't work on 11g anymore.
what happens is - my Bridge servlet successfully processes all static content (.js, .gif)
but when it gets to http://10.180.82.65:9704/analytics/saw.dll?ajaxGo
didn't process further. so it gives SEARCHING Image only.
If I copy that http://10.180.82.65:9704/analytics/saw.dll?ajaxGo into a browser I get login screen and after login, some script chunk but at least it gets downloaded.
The Html Content appears through the webservice is as follows

I got the same error. But it is solved now. At least it is working now.
What you have to do is to add some cookie value hardcoded with the request. This cookie value should be hardcoded before calling the OBIEE service.
You can do this in following way (There must be some better way to do this).
Write one servlet before calling the OBIEE service and add following to the servlet http response.
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("ORA_COOKIE_NQID",sessionID);
response.addCookie(cookie);
After setting this call OBIEE service.
It should work now.

Need HELP to pass results from procedure

Hey Gurus,
I need your help. I got a package (test) and inside the package two procedures (step1, step2).

Hi,
You need to declare the namespace of each element used in the XPath expression, like this :
SQL> select extractvalue( XMLDATA
2                     , '/samp:Field1/UTI/U01'
3                     , 'xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd"' ) "XMLDATA"
4 from chipsxmltable1 x
5 ;
XMLDATA
No
SQL> select extract( XMLDATA
2                , '/samp:Field1/UTI'
3                , 'xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd"'
4                ).getstringval() "XMLDATA"
5 from chipsxmltable1 x
6 ;
XMLDATA
<UTI>
<U01>No</U01>
<U02>Y</U02>
<U03>Y</U03>
<U03a>Y</U03a>
<U03b>Y</U03b>
<U03c>Y</U03c>
<U04>Y</U04>
<U05>Y</U05>
</UTI>
Please see EXTRACT and EXTRACTVALUE documentation :

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions052.htm#SQLRF06173
BTW, "XMLDATA" is a pseudo-column used by Oracle. I don't know if it'll ever cause any conflict but maybe you should rename your column.

Need Help to extract information from Windows Security Event log

Hi Everyone,
My challenge is to create a script that queries the Security event log for event id 4624 , logon type 2 and 10, then export the result to file, hopefully tab limited.
I need the time - date - User Account - Workstation - IP address - Logon Type.
I have had a go, checking out other advice from other questions, but i'm just not getting what I want.
Kind regards,
Andrew

A good point to start is get-eventlog with where clauses.
For example:
get-eventlog -log security | where {$_.eventID -eq 4624}
So you want to get the entire security log, and then filter it client side? (Some of these logs can be massive).
I would recommend Get-WinEvent with -FilterHashTable (Filter on the left) which will filter against the log directly.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/01/24/use-powershell-cmdlet-to-filter-event-log-for-easy-parsing.aspx
You might have admin rights issues accessing the security logs.
You're right - my answer was only a first step to try "get-command *event" and eventually get-help.....

Need Help To Extract Logo from Flash File .swf

I have an attached Flash file that is in
.swf format. There is a N64 logo within this file that I'm
trying to extract as a
.png with a transparent background. I've been able to open
it in a program called
Flash Decompiler Trillix and in the sub-menus it has the
logo listed as a frame.
This is about as far as I have gotten and I'm stuck. Perhaps
someone else knows how to do this a little easier. I just need to
find a way to extra the logo that already has a transparent
background and save it in
.png format.
Any help here would be hot." ;)
Logo Flash
File .swf

Hello,
I ran into a similar problem a few months ago. I have the
Sothink Flash Decompiler and what I did was turn the SWF back into
a FLA. I then opened it in Flash and then exported what I wanted as
a PNG image.
Decompilers can extract the actual image whether it be jpeg,
gif, png, etc. But when it's listed as a frame(as you mentioned
above) then the method above is probably the best way to get it.
Good luck

Need help with Thin JDBC connecting Oracle to SQL server.

I am fairly new to JAVA. We have ORACLE 8.1.7 running on Solaris 8. I have a need to
periodically extract data from ORACLE DB and transfer it to SQL Server. I am limited to
moving data from the ORACLE/UNIX environment to SQL Server side.
From what I have read, Server-side Thin driver should work.
1) Are there any issues in trying to achieve this with ORACLE running on the UNIX platform?
2) Will the Server-side Thin driver talk to both the DBs ?
3) Is it possible to provide some sample code ?
Thanks in advance,
Solomon

Quattro,
I had complete success in reading from Oracle and writing to SQL Server. First of all let me thank you for all your help. I do have one last request. Its more on optimization than any thing else.
I was trying to optimize my code by grouping both the connections in one place and to keep my reads and inserts together so that I don't commit at the end of each insert etc. I don't seem to have the scope rules under control yet. Could you suggest how to improve this:
import java.sql.*;
public class Test_Combined2 {
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
// Connect to the database
// You must put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
// You can use either the fully specified SQL*net syntax or a short cut
// syntax as <host>:<port>:<sid>. The example uses the short cut syntax.
Connection con2 = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Test:1521:PSDEVElOP",
"SOLOMON","SOL1");
// Create a Statement
Statement stmt2 = con2.createStatement ();
String url = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://INTRADEV:1433;DatabaseName=Measure";
Connection con;
String query = "select dataYear, dataMonth, yieldRate from tblYield " ;
Statement stmt;
try {
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.print(e.getMessage());
// Select the ENAME column from the EMP table
ResultSet rset = stmt2.executeQuery ("select year_start, monthofyear, percent_comp " +
" from ps_usm_ytd_yield ");
// Iterate through the result and print the employee names
while (rset.next ()) {
System.out.println (rset.getFloat (3));
int ps_dataYear = rset.getInt(1);
int ps_dataMonth = rset.getInt(2);
float ps_yieldRate = rset.getFloat(3);
try{
con = DriverManager.getConnection (url, "tmpuser","tmppush");
stmt = con.createStatement();

Extract data from Oracle in excel file

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to extract data from Oracle in excel file and the excel worksheet name should be "Data".
for eg. excel file name "AR Data_DDMMYY" and excel worksheet name "Data"
I have used the UTL_FILE API to extract the tab delimited data which can be opened in excel but it is not exactly an excel file as the worksheet name is same as the file name.
I tried using utl_file.fcopy and frename.
Is there any way to do this using PLSQL?
select * from v$version;

Hi,
I was able to generate the excel 2007 file with the data using the package from below link;
http://technology.amis.nl/2011/02/19/create-an-excel-file-with-plsql/
but the requirement is to generate excel 2003 file.
I tried changing the .xlsx to .xls and it gives a note while opening the file "The file you are trying to open, abc.xls, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"Then you have three options:
1) stop using anton's package and find another one that supports the old and deprecated version of Excel 2003
2) write your own package to produce an Excel file.
3) Upgrade your version of Excel to a recent version
I tried the programs from other links on the forum but I am still getting this message. The client does not want this message to be displayed as the excel file works as an input to another system.
Can anyone help me with the issue?
Also, is it true that the programatically generated excel file is actually an xml file which is renamed to .xls and hence it shows the message while opening such files?Yes, Excel supports several different formats for it's files. By default, if you save an XLS files from Excel, it writes it out in a Microsoft proprietary binary format, which you would be hard pushed to replicate easily from PL/SQL. Excel also has the ability to save it's files as XML format, which is more readable and easier to produce programatically, whilst still allowing you to have multiple sheets, formulas and formatting included in it. That's the format that most people who need formatting and multiple sheets opt for when programatically generating their data as excel workbooks. (There's also an SLYK format that people used to use before that, but it's not as flexible)
If you want to write your own, the easiest thing to do is to start with a blank workbook in Excel, and put in your basic requirements e.g. a couple of named sheets, and some data in different formats (number, date, text etc.) and different formatting options etc. Save that file in XML format from Excel and then open up the file using notepad/wordpad to look at the structure. There'll be a whole load of redundant rubbish Microsoft put in there, but you should be able to figure out the basic structure of XML required to give you what you want.

How to Extract Data from Oracle DB ?

hi,
I am trying to Extract Data from Oracle DB using DBconnect. and looks like its not working. Not able to connect to Database.
thanks

Hi,
Can you please follw the below steps:
If you need to load data from an Oracleu2122 database use DB Connect instead of an ETL Tool
Although limited to full updates, it allows true u201Chands-offu201D automation of data extraction
Is not limited to Oracleu2122 databases, it supports ALL database systems supported by SAP BW
DB Connect can read the remote data dictionary, replicate table and views, and transfer metadata into the SAP BW Meta Data Repository.
1.Begin with your data model
2.Identify which tables provide:
Master Data
Transactional Data
3.Once the model is complete:
Obtain a UID and Password from the DBA
Ensure that table synonyms are not used u2013 they donu2019t work at this point in time (SAP Note # 518241)
Your UID has to have select permissions on the required database objects.
4.In the admin workbench open the modeling tab and select Source Systems
5.In the right pane, right-click on Source Systems and select Createu2026
6. you have to define the type of source system. Select u201CDatabase Systemu201D
7.Enter a description for the source system
8.Once you accept the definition of the source system, you have to provide the following information, save and back out:
DBMS: ORA (Oracle)
User Name: Your UID
DB password: Your pwd
Conn. Info: sql*net string
Select u201CPermanent connectionu201D if this is the case
9.If everything went well, you should see the new source system. When you do a right-click and ask for the DataSource overview, the first time you execute it you will be prompted to generate the application hierarchy. Answer yes to the prompt and then you will be able to see the DataSource tree.
10.In order to test connectivity, right-click on the source system and select u201CSelect Database Tablesu201D
11.Click on the execute button.
12.Next shows up displaying any tables or views that you have access through your UID
13.Select a table or view and click on u201CEdit DataSourceu201D.
14.To test data retrieval, click on u201CDisplay table contentsu201D
15.Designate the application component, determine the type of DataSource (Text, Master data, or Transaction data) then generate the DataSource.
16.For each applicable table/view generate the repeat steps 13 to 15.
17.From there, assign the DataSource to each target (InfoObject, InfoProvider) as usual.
Moving from Dev to QA to Prod:
18.Before transporting all you configuration work, you will have to manually set up the source system (Steps 4 to 8) in your QA or Prod
19.Depending on your authorization settings in Production, you may need to implement a system restore. Work with BASIS if you need to, donu2019t do it on your own!
20.Then transport your InfoObjects, InfoProviders, Update Rules, Transfer Rules, InfoPackages, etc.
21.If you developed the process chains, transport them separately.
22.Try to maximize throughput by using parallel processing of master data
23.Ensure the right sequence for transactional data loads is followe.
24.Combine the master data loads and the transactional data loads in a master process chain.
It can be help full.

Hi all
João, could you please explain how did you solved that network problem? I'm having a similar error establishing a Site Studio connection: 'Design time connection error: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out'
If I create this connection from a JDeveloper installed in the machine where UCM, WebCenter and SSXA are installed there's no connection problem. The problem only occurs in others pcs in the same network.
Thank you in advance

Extracting data from Oracle GL and importing to FDM using ERPI adapter

Hi,
I am also trying to use ERPI adapter to directly extract data from Oracle GL. I am not finding sufficient information on this. It would be great if anyone can help me in this.
I have one more doubt: Can we call the stored procedures in the FDM custom scripts, If so can I get the syntax of the script...I really don't have idea on this FDM part. I was working till now with the Flatfile input, But my client wants to make this change in the existing system. Accessing/Extracting data from Oracle GL. Experts who knows it can pls guide me.
I am using FDM 11.1.2 and ERPI associated with 11.1.2.
Thanks in Advance.
[email protected]

Hi,
Is it possible to execute the stored procedures in FDM. Currently we are extracting data from oracle GL using SQl procedures (constaller tool is user to create the inteface) and storing the required data in the intermediate table in oracle GL, From which we are extracting data into a flat file and then loading it to FDM.
So my question: is it possible to invoke the stored procedure from FDM scripts, If so can you pls let me know how to do that...
Thanks In Advance,

I need help burning a cd from keynote

I need help burning a cd from keynote for a slideshow presentation on a tv

Hi,
Not quite sure what you're after here, so I might need a bit more info.
You have a presentation in Keynote and want to export this in some format that will allow you to display it on a TV screen. Is this right? Do you want to retain all your interactivity or do you just want to show it as a simple 'kiosk' presentation? What will the presentation on CD be played from and how will it connect to the TV?
Probably the easiest solution is to create a DVD of your presentation. To do this export the presentation from Keynote as a Quicktime Movie by going to File>Export and selecting the Quicktime pane. You'll need to make a few choices about how the slides are advanced and the final quality. Convert the exported movie to a DVD in iDVD or better still Toast, if you have it. You wont need menus or any fancy stuff, just set up the movie to play as soon as the disk is inserted.
To optimise the Movie, keep Keynote animations to a minimum and limit slide transitions to simple dissolves. The resulting Movie should be a fair representation of the original Keynote presentation.
