OBIEE Map views and Google controls

Hi All,
I have OBIEE set up for map views using Google maps as the background map. However it now appears to be showing 2 zoom controls, one from OBIEE and one from the background Google maps.
Does anyone know how to configure Mapviewer to turn off the google zoom control? I cannot see anything obvious through the Manage Map Tile Layers interface.
It seems that when you use the OBIEE control the zooming works correctly and aligns with the overlay visualisation. If you use the Google control things do not work correctly. Currently we are using 11.1.1.6 for this.
Thanks very much,
Stu

I have the same problem. Has anyone come across the problem or solution yet?

Google Maps Navigation and Google Music problem

Hello,
I love the LG G2 but it has a few concerning issues. First, is the squealling, hissing, cracking, popping, etc. during phone calls, but I have seen that brought up by others.
The second problem that I've discovered, and the most upsetting to me, is that when using the Google Maps Navigation and Google Music All Access at the same time, whenever the navigation voice instructs a direction, the music shuts off. It is then silent until the navigation voice instructs the next direction OR when a new track starts. This was not a problem on my droid bionic, so it must be an LG G2 issue. This is a huge problem to me as I travel a lot for work and usually use GPS to find where I'm going, and I subscribe to Google Music All Access so I listen to music in the car. This problem makes that impossible to do (I have to choose).
A related issue, is that my Alpine CD player displayed track information (Artist, Song, Album) with my Droid Bionic, but with the LG G2 it displays 'UNKNOWN'. I find it hard to believe that a two year old phone has capabilities that a brand new phone wouldn't, so I'm hoping these issues will be fixed with a software patch.
Has anybody else experienced these issues, or does it work fine with your LG G2?

Hawaii is a part of the USA so you will be fine there. Mexico on the other hand, you will be roaming for data there and could see extra charges for international data.

What would be the simplest way to view and take control over the internet?

Hi All:
Can some one tell me what would be the best and simplest way to connect from my laptop to another laptop through the internet?
I have DYNdns running on the second laptop and have a host name assigned to that system for it to update the IP since the system uses different internet connections. The services that I would like to be able to have are the viewing and controlling of the system. I've read some where in this NG that if I have a copy of ARD admin. installed on that system also, it would be one way to do it... can some one verify this and please let me know if there are any specific settings I need to have on either one of the systems.
I can connect to the second laptop while in my home network with no problem and perform all tasks. when trying to connect through the internet.. the system shows offline .
Both systems are identical in hardware an software, Intel 2.16, 2G's RAM, OS X ver 10.5.2 all up to date and ARD 3.2
Yes, I'm new to ARD and yes I'm searching the NG and the net. but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask since time is limited.
All help greatly appreciated ..
TIA
Oscar A.

To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3283 and 5900 so those must be open.
If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
to connect.
The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
Hope this helps.

Map view and Final DVD dont not the same

Hello all, I have got an interesting problem which is probably due to my ignorance. I have made a project in Final Cut 4.5. In my timeline I have 5 seperate pieces. I place an in and out for each piece and then export Quicktimes (NOT self contained) in order to make my DVD. Ive made a new project in IDVD and use an existing template and replace the backround with my backround
(a still which was made in photoshop) I place each film on the backround, which as I understand it is making its own title set, so far so good. In test mode the menu ive created works great , each title is accessed fine. Now here is the problem.
In map view everything looks to be in the correct order but when I burn the disc and play it the chapters dont play in the order of map view? Again, the menu is correct to each film but when I go to a film and then hit the chapter button to go to next film the films are out of order with the order i put them on the menu?
The reason I did it this way was I did not want the 2 window menu screen you get when , in Final Cut, you make chapters and export with chapters, you cannot as far as I know, in IDVD come back to just the chapter screen after each film. Which is what I wanted to do. Any suggestions? (other than use DVD SP)

I would like to know also. I have made many DVDs, but the number order does seem to be random. For presentation purposes I want to play a specific clip by hitting it's corresponding number on the DVD player remote when the DVD is at a complete stop (so if I put the movie clip in the 2 spot and hit the number 2 on the remote, then the 2 movie clip will play). I can get this to work from the menu by dropping them in iDVD in the order I want and waiting for each to encode before dropping the next, but at a complete stop I cannot ensure number 2 on the remote will play number 2 on the DVD. To me it looks like iDVD gives those numbers in the order in which the audio is encoded when burning, with the shorter clips first and longer ones last.
Can anyone help me?

Google Map Integration with Map Viewer is not working

Hi Team,
My MapViewer Version: Ver11_1_1_7_B130111
I have created a Google Map (with Type of Map Source as "Google Maps") in Oracle Map Viewer and i could see google map in Oracle Map Viewer(using "show Map").
I wanted to show a village map theme over the above google map in a web page and i am using Jdeveloper to integrate map viewer with Village data. I could see the google maps inside Jdeveloper however when i run the Jdeveloper code google map is not shown inside the web page.
I tried with Oracle Maps, Bing Maps as the "map source" in map viewer and tried integrating inside Jdeveloper and got same result (blank screen). However when i tried a different mapviewer ( Base Map ELOCATION.WORLD_MAP from OracleFMW MapViewer Home ) i could see the map in the web page.
I could get all other base maps (created with "internal" as the map source") in the web page, so there is some thing that i am missing with Google Maps, Bing Maps, Oracle Maps. Could you please help me what is that i am missing or point to a help resource?
Thanks
Nag

Hi Jayanth,
Issue is solved after creating the web page using latest JDeveloper (11.1.2.4). Thanks a lot for your help

Objects not visible in Map Viewer Display Data with Mouse Moveover

Hi All,
On version 11.1.1.5.2 OBIEE with Map Viewer a customer has the following problem. Data objects are not displayed as expected on the map when the visibility check box is disabled on a dashboard. However the data about the object is incorrectly displayed on the map when the mouse is placed over the location of the hidden object.
The customer's screen shots show a map with a panel which has a list of assets with a check box controlling if the asset is displayed. When the check box is off then the asset image is correctly not displayed but when the mouse is placed over the hidden asset’s location then incorrectly a pop window shows the hidden asset's Tooltip data.
I was unable to reproduce this in-house with an OBIEE dashboard connected to Google Maps.
In the MapViewer User Guide there is a reference to a MapViewer JavaBean method “setSVGShowInfo” which appears to be related to this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e10145/vis_beanapi.htm#i1023460
What approach should be taken to troubleshoot the problem?

This is likely a bug.
Is there an SR filed on this?
Anyway, the Mapviewer javascript API is being used in OBIEE (not the java bean one).
Is it a standard obiee map view which has this issue?
Try the OBIEE Sample App (available on OTN)
Try Dashboard page 3.3. SF Metrics. There are two layers that can be shown on the map (Revenue and Billed Quantity, and Establishment Revenue).
Enable both and on hover the Rev & Billed qty info is shown. Uncheck Rev & Billed Qty and only the info for Establishment Revenue is shown on hover or when clicked on.

How do I add a VM that has too many dependencies to be shown as "Map View " ?

When in Table View there is no option to add/remove a VM to an App or to create/delete an App.
f.eks. I added three VM's and created an App called "Convergion"
Two of those VM's can only be shown in "Table View" because of too many outgoing dependencies.
I accidentally removed the Third VM (the one that could be shown in "Map View") and now I have no way of:
1) Adding the third VM back to the App
2) Removing the App or
3) Remove the two remaining VM's from the App
So, to create the App again I have to call it "Convergion~1" or something similarilly stupid.
But two of the VM's now still belong to "Convergion" (the now "Zombied" App) as well as "Convergion~1"
Any ideas ?
P.S. I should be able to create an App and manually add the VM's needed from the vCenter Inventory (Search box or similar) without having to have a "Visual" contact in the Map View.
Some maps get huge and it's not very practical.
Consider this a feature request.

Hi,
I'm Galit from the QE team of VIN.
All the things that you've described are correct.
It is actually an edge case where the only VM, that the manual App can be managed from its Map view, was removed from the App.
The Manual App management is as designed, and may be changed in the future.
There are 2 ways to overcome this situation:
1.You can, as you stated, create another Manual App with similar name and remain with the "Zombie App".
2. To run a specific command that will remove the Zombie App from the DB.
Please note that option no. 2 involves using an API that we do not publish.
If you would like to use option no. 2 contact me in private and we will see about supplying the relevant commands to run in order to delete the "zombie" application.
Thanks,
Galit Gutman

How do I deinstall the Map Viewer service

I have a client who downloaded the map viewer quick start package for 11g.
He was supposed to deploy the map viewer on web logic but ran some sort
of batch file that he found in the root of the unzipped package.
MapViewer "seemed" to install fine but never asked him where Web logic
was installed. Furthermore if I have him look at the current deployments
on web logic mapviewer does not show up.
How he can bring up the mapviewer page and admin console is
beyond me. Perhaps it was installed on IIS (I haven't checked
that yet) ?
What I'd like to do is have him deinstall map viewer and then
reinstall it correctly so that it gets deployed to web logic this time.
The problem is that I don't know where the heck his version
is installed at yet and I'm not sure how do deinstall it.
Any ideas ?

When you run start.bat it will start a standalone OC4J that runs mapviewer. So long as that batch file is still running then mapviewer is still running. If you close/ctrl-C the batch file then mapviewer stops. There is no installer/uninstalller, you just need to delete the whole folder containing the quickstart files.
As for deploying, the quick start can't be used for deploying to a web logic, you need to download the other mapviewer install that contains the mapviewer.ear file.

Map Viewer Errors Thrown

This is a followup on the post "JAVA Error Messages Thrown When Deploying Map Viewer," from Jun 12, 2008 11:22 AM. (reprinted below)
Basically there are a number of java errors thrown when attempting to install Mapviewer. Has anyone else come across similar error messages? What do they mean? I can't imagine this hasn't happened before.
Also, if anyone might have a clue or a direction to point me in concerning this matter, that would really be greatly appreciated. I really need assistance here, as I really have no clue what is going on, and I haven't managed to find anything on the Web concerning these specific error messages.
Thank you,
John
The following is the previous post I am referring to:
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to assist with this problem.
I am fairly new to java, and so I have little understanding of what certain error messages mean after I deploy Map Viewer through oc4j.
I have poked around on the Web enough to have a feeling that the application is searching for certain necessary classes, and that it can't fully deploy without these classes. If this is true, where are these classes located and/or how do I point to them so that the application can find them?
There are one group of errors thrown when attempting to deploy Map Viewer, and then another set when attempting to create a "dynamic data source" from the Map Viewer admin page.
Following are the error messages:

Also, when the second series of error messages are thrown, a red error message displays on the admin html page, which reads, "MapViewer server is still starting up." It doesn't matter how long I wait, it never does start up, and of course the error messages tell something is wrong.
Do I need to modify a file somewhere to tell Map Viewer where to look for these classes?
By the way I am running on a Sun server with Solaris 9
Thank you much,
John

For future reference,
The problem was finally solved. Someone suggested to me to make sure I was running jdk 1.5.0 by typing "java -version" It turns out I thought I was running 1.5.0, but in actuality I was running 1.4.2.
The reason this was confusing was because I was pointing to the newer version when exporting the JAVA_HOME env. variable, by typing "export JAVA_HOME=[full path to jdk folder].
But the trick was to append the full paths for jdk/bin and jdk/jre/bin to the front of the PATH variable. At first I appened the paths to the end of the PATH variable, and nothing happened.
Basically, the mapviewer installation needs to look at the bin folders for the 1.5.0 version of the jdk.
You can always test this by typing "java -version." If your PATH variable is correct, then you'll see information on the most recent jdk installation instead of an older version.

MapViewer Ver11_1_1_7_2 - Simple Geom Viewer and Setting up Streaming

I am trying to use the simple geom viewer in map viewer and am getting the error below locally. I figure it is a problem with the datasource since the query has a geometry column. I did a ping in glassfish and it returned successfully. I am seeing an error that my server does not allow for streaming. I copied the mds.xml to the conf directory and set the allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi to true but this message still appears for the html5 demos. Is there any documentation that explains how to setup streaming?
-Error Snippet
SEVERE: Cannot find a geometry column.
Dec 11, 2013 9:17:04 AM oracle.sdovis.theme.DynGeomThemeProducer loadFeaturesInAdjustedMBR
SEVERE: Error fetching data.

I was able to fix my issues so I thought I would document them here in case anyone else has the same problem. First issue was that I had to turn off the jdbc wrapping option in the datasource configuration. I was able to fix the streaming issue by setting allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi = true in the datasource property and by fixing an error in the mds.xml.
