OBI 11g and OBI 10g pointing to the same database

Hi guys!
I have a questions. On my PROD server I've installed database and OBI 10g. I want to install now OBI 11G on a separate machine and point repository to the same database.
Is it possible? Will it cause any problems?
With regards,
PsmakR

Hi,
Should not be an issue. When you install 11g, it will create few default schemas, provide your prod db details so that obiee related schemas will reside in prod db.
You should not have any issue in migration.

  • Two different WCS instances, pointing to the same database

    Hi,
    for some unknown reason that came from the architecture fellows, I need to install 02 instances of WCS pointing to the same database server. I mean, both instances would need to "share" the database. They don't want a cluster schema because they need to have the option to deploy the app in one instance and, if wverything is ok, deploy to the remaining instance.
    Do you know if such architecture is possible? I did the installation of one instance(instance A), but when trying to install the instance B referring to A's database, I get a ton of errors.
    Any advice is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    This is not the way Sites has been designed. Each instance should have their own schema and repository unless the two instances work as a Sites cluster.
    So what you're trying to achieve is not possible using your approach. What I could suggest is to install two separate instances on its own, create the necessary data model, asset configurations, templates, etc. in one instance and replicate it to the other instance by publishing it to the other instance using real-time publish. If you use LDAP or any other supported directory server you would be able to use a singe directory for both sites instances.

  • Can two datasources point to the same database?

    Can two unique datasource names point to the same MS Access Database?

    I got handed a directory of files to set up two coldfusion sites on a new server. What I have is two websites which both have a gallery page with identical contents, see Jembetat.com and SaharaAfricanGallery.com. In the the files I got in the Jembetat directory I have a single database "jembetat.mdb", in SahraAfricanGallery directory I have two databases "jembet.mdb" and "sahara.mdb" The Jembetat site refers to a dsn titled "Jembetat_accesscf_jembetat" pointing to the "jembetat.mdb"  and the sahara site to a dsn titled "sahara20049216_accesscf_jembetat". Interestingly enough I believe all three databases are identical. Currently I am pointing the jembetat dsn to the jembetat database in the sahara directory and the sahara dsn to the sahara database in the sahara directory. In my mind however if the client makes a change on one website then he would have to manually change it on the other unless I point poth dsn to the same directory.

  • Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

    Hi,
    I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
    This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
    In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
    In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
    How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
    NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
    Thanks.

    By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
    Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
    I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

  • How do i make a array of user defined structure and creat a pointer for the same

    Function
    The prototype of the dll function is
    unsigned long PassThruIoctl(unsigned long A, unsigned long B, void *pvar1, void *pvar2);
    "void *pvar1" and "void *pvar2" are pointers to different Structures. The value of  "unsigned long B" will determine what kind of Structure the pointer will represent.
    One sample structure is given below when pvar1 is the pointer to SCONFIG_LIST.
    typedef struct
          unsigned long ParameterID;    // this an input to the dll
          unsigned long Value;          // this is an output from dll
    } SCONFIG;
    typedef struct
          unsigned long NumOfParams;    // the no. of elements(SCONFIG) in array
    (input)
          SCONFIG *ConfigPtr;           // the pointer to array of SCONFIG
    (input)
    } SCONFIG_LIST;
    The function is supposed to get the values of configuration parameters (from an external interfacing device).
    When I tried to run the function as shown in the attached VI, I always end up with error. The error I get is saying something about DLL corrupting the memory of Lab View.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What will be the structure for pVar2?
    One issue that I can see in you code is, for pvar1 instead of passing an array of clusters, you are passing a cluster of SCONFIG. Also you need to initialize the numbr of elements in the array before passing it to the DLL (see attached code). In this I have assumed that pVar2 is also expecting a similar input.
    I was not able to run the code here becasue the dll is not there. So please try and let me know.

  • Help needed!!: Running two the same Ifs services on the same database.

    Hello!
    I would like to know if it is ok to have started two LibraryServices at the same time on the same database.
    For example:
    One LibraryService that is using "IfsDefault.properties" and running on default Apache Jserv (default IFS configuration).
    Second LibraryService that is using the same "IfsDefault.properties" (the same database) and running on Tomcat.
    I wanted to connect to LibraryService that is already started, but I have read in the documentation that I can do this by finding LibraryService, but only when it is running in the same process. So to have access I have to start my own service connecting to the same database as one that is already running in Jserv.
    Is it ok to have such configuration?
    Or maybe there is allowed only one LibraryService for one database?
    Can somebody help?
    Piotr Walendziak

    you can have multiple LibraryService instances, each pointing to different databases, or all pointing to the same database. LibraryService instances are name-unique, however, so you must give each one its own name. also, they can all be active in the same process (JVM).

  • Accessing the same database file using different handles/cursors

    Will there be any problems accessing the same database file using different DB handles in a transactional environment? We have implemented a process which have multiple transient threads coming up and initiating DB opens and read/write operations to the same database file using different handles and cursors?
    Can this potentially create any problems/bottlenecks? Can someone suggest the best way to deal with this scenario?
    Thanks in advance.
    SB

    Hi,
    Berkeley DB is well suited to the scenario you describe. You need to ensure that Berkeley DB is configured correctly for transactional access, the best information describing the requirements is in the Reference guide here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/programmer_reference/transapp.html
    If there will be multiple threads operating concurrently, then you will need to design your application to detect and deal with deadlock situations.

  • Can 2 Different 11g OBIEE Instances point to the same WebCat?

    Imagine we want to do a "poor man's" HA because the weblogic clustering license is too expensive. On ServerA we have one OBIEE stack (MWHome), and on ServerB we have a second OBIEE stack. The 2 weblogic servers are not aware of eachother. There is no "Scale-Out". Is it possible to point the 2 environments to the same WebCat? Only one environment is active at a time, and then we switch over to the second if there is a problem with the first. Or will this cause problems in 11g because of the whole user/role GUID nightmare?

    I restarted the BI System (all components), a few more times and now weblogic login is working again on all three apps (FMC, Console, OBIEE) on both environments. Still, I don't have a "warm fuzzy" about this setup.
    In our setting we're trying to prove out, we are looking for an active-passive solution where Env1 is active and Env2 is passive (but it's a hot standby in the sense that the services are started, it's just no traffic is going to it) and the shared webCat is on it's own clustered file system. If Env1 fails, the load balancer starts pointing to Env2. My hope was I could point both environments to the same webcat to avoid having to do any syncing or redeployment of webcat when there is a failover, but now I'm having doubts that this is possible, and it seems unstable to have 2 different environments pointing to the same webcat.

  • When I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router

    when I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router.
    Below is some info i get about ports.
    I tried to set DMZ on my main router to have full access to ported to access point upstair which is in the ip of 192.168.1.2 and the main router in the living room is the gateway router with the 192.168.1.1 ip.
    I still cant see apple tv after i try the DMZ method.
    any suggestion ?
    These network ports are used by Apple TV for communications on your network.
    TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
    TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
    UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
    TCP port 80 is used for communicating with podcast servers.
    TCP port 80 and 443 are used for basic and secure communications with the iTunes Store via the Internet.
    TCP port 53 is used for regular DNS.
    These are well-known ports used by Apple products, like iTunes. If you can use all the features of iTunes, these ports are likely already open on your firewall or NAT router. Note: These ports may also used by other services such as YouTube and Flickr.

    When the Apple TV is paired with a remote, it means only that remote can control it, when it's not paired any remote can control it. You will need a remote for each of your devices.

  • Is there any way I can control which specific access point I connect (and stay connected) to from amongst a set of access points with the same SSID?

    I'm working from a boat in a harbor in which the ISP has deployed numerous access points around the periphery.  All the access points share the same SSID and each is configured to use either channel 1, 6 or 11.   From my location, there are over a dozen of these access points "visible" (based on the the output of WiFi Scanner) with a range of RSSI and S/N values that vary over time.
    The ISP has told me that the quality of my connection should be "perfectly fine" for any access point with an RSSI value better than -75, but I know from experience that my connection quality is miserable (i.e. < 50Kbps download) for almost all of these, including those with RSSI values better than -75.  There is at least one exception, however, which gives me on the order of 2Mbps download, which is "great" in this context.
    I've tried using a more powerful USB antenna plugged into my MacBook Air (mid 2011), but as far as I can tell, it really doesn't make much difference.  Neither does my location within the boat.   The overriding factor seems to be which access point I happen to connect up to.
    I should point out that the closest access points are about 75 yards away, with many of them being several hundred yards away or more.  I'm guessing that even though the signal strength of some of the distant access points is causing them to get "chosen" some times, the results are unacceptable due to the distance.
    I'm hoping that I can determine, through experimentation, which access point(s) provide(s) acceptable performance and then configure my Mac to limit my connection to those points through whatever mechanism I need to use (e.g. channel, MAC id, etc.).

    Establishing a wireless connection with a client computer is left to the access point for various reasons. One reason that your Mac may not connect to the strongest access point is that it may have reached a limit of the number of clients it can serve, leaving it unable to accept a connection with another. The limit may not be very large.
    Suppose that happens, and your Mac establishes a connection with a more distant access point having a weaker signal. Then, suppose a client drops off the network. Doesn't this mean your Mac will switch to the stronger access point? Not necessarily. The throughput delivered to and from your Mac would have to drop below a threshold specified in the AP for it to drop the client, leaving your Mac free to connect with another one. The reason for this is to prevent rapid switching from one AP to another in an area in which two signals are of approximately equal quality. If that were to occur the frequent and repetitive handshaking between the two devices would slow throughput to zero.
    In an environment in which several access points are broadcasting the same SSID, Apple provides no insight as to how it determines which access point to choose. This is the reason I suspect this "choice" is a function of the router, or access point. The connection originates with it, not the Mac.
    Now, what would solve your dilemma would be to determine a way to control the access point with which your Mac connects, by specifying the access point's unique MAC address for example. In this happy circumstance, you could maintain an editable "whitelist" or "blacklist" of the harbor's access points and be able to choose which among them you prefer.
    I do not believe OS X maintains such a record of MAC addresses though, only those of the routers it uses. If I am correct about that, such a solution is unlikely to exist. Don't let that discourage you from searching for one though... I would concentrate on something like "selecting access point by specific MAC address".
    I did find this patent application though:
    Roaming Network Stations Using A Mac Address Identifier To Select New Access Point
    Perhaps it's a start

    Have you tried to put the device into DFU mode?
    To put the device in DFU mode,
    1. Connect the device to iTunes
    2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
    3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
    4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
    I hope that helps.
