OIM with multiple authentication source

Dear All,
Can OIM authenticate from Active Directory and Oracle Internet Directory?
My customer require that :
1. Permanent Employee will be authenticated using Active Directory.
2. Non-Permanent Employee will be authenticated using Oracle Internet Directory.
Can i do this with or without Oracle Access Manager?
Thank you.

Hi Kishore,
We have tried configure OVD as authentication source with OID and OVD as the directory. We found another issue. In the AD, the Username Attribute (equals to OIM's User Login) is sAMAccountName, but in the OID, there is no sAMAccountName. We can use CN, UID, and orclsamaccountname as Username Attribute.
How can we map the username attribute in the OVD so we can put the username attribute in the OAM configuration?
Need help, please share your idea and experience.
Thank you,

Multiple authentication sources with the same category

Quote from portal help:
"Multiple authentication sources can use the same category. However, because the prefix is prepended to the user and group names, you need to be certain that the domains involved do not have different users or groups with the same name. That is, if a LizaR user exists on one domain, and a LizaR user exists on another domain, they must be the same user because only one user will be created."
Fine, let's say I am "certain that the domains involved do not have different users or groups with the same name".
But there is other concern I have here. I want to know how portal will RECOGNIZE which authentication source to use?
Let's say I have 2 auth sources AS1 and AS2 with the same category MyAuth. AS1 use WS1 to authenticate against LDAP1 and AS2 use WS2 to authenticate against LDAP2.
Now, I have a user - Dmitry. I am trying to login into portal and I selected AS1 to do actual authentication. My question is how portal will CHOOSE which auth source to use because all portal knows about me is <MyAuth\Dmitry> that is came from portal login screen? Both auth sources match this pattern so seems like portal may choose any of them.
Does it mean that portal will try to authenticate again AS1 and if this attempt failed then you AS2?
I didn't find any explanation in portal documentation.
Thank you.

Yes, it seems you are right. As soon as portal have found CORRECT user there is no issue anymore because user is bind to unique auth source that actually has been used to created this user.
I think my main confusion come from the fact that having <Category> and <UserName> is not enough to UNIQUE identify user in portal as soon as <Category> can be the SAME for different auth sources.
Let's have you have user created by AS1. According API this user created by this AS1 will have 4 different names, like sUniqueName, sAuthenticationName, sLoginName and sDisplayName. But portal is going to search user in portal database BASED on information that is available in login form - <Category> and <User Name>. At this point portal has no idea about sUniqueName and all this things.
Now if there were 2 users in database that have been created by 2 different auth sources with the same <category> and <User Name> then I don't understand how portal will figured out which user to choose from. I guess <Category> value somehow MUST participate in sUniqueName value. <Category> has to be involve in process of finding user in database. In this scenario 2 users will be retrieved from database and what is important these 2 users are different, they have been created by different auth sources. Now question became which user is CORRECT one?

Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source

Hi All,
I have a Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source. Is there any way to achive it. Other than Resultant set and bring into Model.
Thanks
SS

You can compare stuff in the EL, but I don't think this is what you need.
You can just use Java code in the backing bean class for all the business logic. You can use DAO classes for database access logic. Finally for displaying you can use the JSF tags such as h:outputText.

Web Analysis : populate the same table with multiple data sources

Hi folks,
I would like to know if it is possible to populate a table with multiple data sources.
For instance, I'd like to create a table with 3 columns : Entity, Customer and AvgCostPerCust.
Entity and Customer come from one Essbase, AvgCostPerCust comes from HFM.
The objective is to get a calculated member which is Customer * AvgCostPerCust.
Any ideas ?
Once again, thanks for your help.

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
select distinct store_name from all-stores
select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query
define the datastructure the way you wanted,
the xml will contain something like this
<stores>
<store> </store> - for store 2
<store> </store> - for store 3
<store> </store> - for store 4
<store> </store> - for store 5
<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.

BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

Hi -
We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
Thanks ;)

Bursting with multiple data sources

Hello all,
I am working in a retail environment and we are building reports for the stores. There are several reports and they all receive the same reports. We are using BIP Entreprise with the bursting feature and it works very well.
The problem is that there are too many reports and we would like to combine all reports of the same store within the same PDF. We use the multiple data source feature and was able to concatenate all reports together.
Using this new report and template, we can not make the bursting functionality to work properly: the bursted report do not contain all the required report components.
For example, I have 2 queries A and B each producing reports for 3 stores: 2, 4 and 5. Without bursting, the output is as is:
Query A - Store 2
Query A - Store 4
Query A - Store 5
Query B - Store 2
Query B - Store 4
Query B - Store 5
With bursting into a file using the store number, I get the following:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
+ Store 2 - Query B
+ Store 4 - Query B
+ Store 5 - Query B
I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A
+ Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A
+ Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A
+ Store 5 - Query B
The main question is: can this be done using BI Pub Enterprise? We using version 10.1.3.3.2
If it is, can you provide me with help on how to configure either/or the requests and template to accomplish this task?
I create an SR and Oracle Support does not have an answser and suggested that somebody in the Forum might help.
Thanks in advance,
Minh

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B

the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B

11i EBS XML Publisher Report with Multiple Data Source

I need to create XML Publisher report in 11i EBS pulling data from another 10.7 EBS Instance as well as 11i EBS in single report.
I am not allowed to create extract or use db links.
My problem is how to create Data Source Connection using Java Concurrent Program.
The approach I am trying is
1. create Java concurrent program to establish connection to 10.7 instance.
2. Will write the SQL queries in Data Tempalete with 2 Data Source 1 for 11i EBS and 2 for 10.7 EBS
3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
thanks

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

Error in viewing data in a data template with multiple data sources

Hello,
I have designed a data template with two data sources.One is from DEPARTMENTS table and the other datasource is a xml file.Following is the code for the data template :
<dataTemplate name="EmployeeListing" dataSourceRef="demo">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_DEPTNO" dataType="character" defaultValue="20"/>
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME,DEPARTMENT_ID,LOC from DEPARTMENTS]]>
</sqlStatement>
<xml name="empxml" expressionPath=".//ROW[DEPARTMENT_NAME =$DEPARTMENT_NAME]">
<url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">file:///D:\OraHome_1\xmlp\XMLP\DemoFiles\Employee Salary Report.xml</url>
</xml>
/dataQuery>
</dataTemplate>
The problem is when i am trying to view the data, only data from SQL Query Q1 is getting displayed and the data from Employee xml is not at all getting displayed.
Could anyone please let me know what i am missing?
Thanks

This is from Documenation sample....
Did you see the data structure section, where you say, how you wanted the columns ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" ?>
<dataTemplate name="Employee Listing" description="List of Employees" v
ersion="1.0">

                  order by deptno]]>
</sqlStatement>
<xml name="empxml" expressionPath=".//ROW[DEPTNO=$DEPTNO]"> - Defines name
- and link to DEPTNO in Q1
<url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">
file:///d:/dttest/employee.xml</url> - Defines url for xml data
</xml>
</dataQuery>-
<dataStructure>- The following section specifies the XML hierarchy
- for the returning data:
<group name="G_DEPT" source="Q1"
<element name="DEPT_NUMBER" value="DEPTNO" />
<element name="DEPT_NAME" value="DNAME"/>
- This creates a summary total at the department level based
- on the salaries at the employee level for each department:
<element name="DEPTSAL" value="G_EMP.SALARY"
function="SUM()"/>
          <element name="LOCATION" value="LOC" />

G6: Consolidating Multiple Authentication Sources

Hello everyone!
When our development environment was setup an Authentication Source was created to go against 1 of the 4 containers in our Active Directory. The containers correspond to different regions of our organization (North, South, East West). At the time we just wanted to test the North people so we set the OU to that container.
This past week I wanted to expand our user base to include the 3 other containers. Unsure of the exact procedure to do this, I copied the original AuthSource and created 3 new ones. The users were successfully pulled in, however at the login screen there are now 5 authentication sources (Plumtree Users, North, South, East, West). I realize now that a mistaken was made from the start in pulling from a container rather than the root, or in my second step of creating new sources rather than manipulating the original. (chalk it up to a learning curve!)
The Authentication Sources are tied directly to the users that they have loaded and can't be deleted unless the associated users/groups are "removed".
Would I be correct in assuming that the only way to consolidate our login Authentication Sources would be to delete all of our users followed by all of the Auth Sources and then create a single source to query the root? Is there any way to change the users Auth Source?
Are there was any other "best practices" or pitfalls that I should be aware of? Especially things that can't be modified after the initial import as in this case?
Thanks for any help,

I would do this:
Delete the "new" (South, West, East) users, groups, then delete the corresponding authentication sources
Modify the "original" (North) authentication source's User Query Base (and Query Filter if necessary) Rename the authentication source if you like. Do not change the User Unique Name attribute.
Sync the original authentication souce. This should just add the users from the modifed root, and assuming that the original users are still included in the modified base and query, they should just stay right there.

Problem with Multiple Data Source Retrieval

Hi,
We are working on a Project that is concerned with JSF and XML parsing. We have successfully parsed the XML and made an object model- Lists out of it to display it using JSF. Additionaly we also want to display some data from the database compare it with the XML data and then display it on the GUI.
So e.g we have an attribute code in the XML structure which is a number. Before displaying it on the GUI we first have to query the database what this number or code actually means i.e its description text . get it and display alongside the other data from the XML. So the question is
1) How to get data from different data sources
2) Compare the data
3) and merge and display into GUI .
And we have to display it with JSF and as far as i know JSF has no comparison mechanism ..??!!
Thanks for any help,

You can compare stuff in the EL, but I don't think this is what you need.
You can just use Java code in the backing bean class for all the business logic. You can use DAO classes for database access logic. Finally for displaying you can use the JSF tags such as h:outputText.

Using OPM in tandem with multiple data sources

We are working on a scenario where rules built in OPM need to run validations on data received from multiple applications (legacy applications and Java / .Net based applications), and the rule output is to be presented to another system. From what I read on OPA, the Oracle Determinations Server should be able to support such a scenario. Is my understanding correct? Please also advise on relevant material I could refer to within OTN for help on such a configuration.
Thanks,
Srinath

Thanks,
SrinathSrinath,
It does sound like you want to use the Determinations Server for this sort of thing. The Determinations Server is a SOAP/XML webservice, so you can call it from both Java and .NET applications. Its a stateless service and works on the principle that you send information and requests for answers, and it returns those answers in the response.
There are some tutorials that will help you integrate the determinations server with Java and .NET applications on OTN (Oracle Policy Automation on OTN > Tutorials).
Also there is more general help documentation on using OPA.

Family Sharing with Multiple payment sources

Just to clear things up: There is no way to setup Family Sharing and allow members to make purchases from their own credits cards. All (non-store credit) purchases must be made with the organizer's credit card, period?

Hi Brother Cool,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Purchases made by family members will default to the organizer’s credit card unless the family member has a gift card on their specific account or store credit on their account.
Family purchases and payments
Making purchases
After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
Have a great day,
Joe

Best settings for project with multiple format sources

New to Premiere Pro after leaving FCP behind and I feel like I've got enough under my belt to start a new project. Working in PP CS6.
Question: my source footage is going to be in many different formats from ripped flash video to footage shot on a C300; includes stills, QT files, etc. (My work involves a lot of found footage, image recycling, etc.)
I want to finish most likely at 1920x1080; exhibition will be festivals, but also DVD, streaming, etc. And I want to work in 24p.
What would be the best settings to use for this project? What codec? Etc?
In FCP I would have used Prores 422, but wonder if something native to PP would be better.
Thank you.

Assuming the C300 footage will be 1080p/24, I'd probably work in that sequence myself. Or possibly 720p/24 if the other assets were smaller than 1080.

Increase performance in a multiple data source report

CA Forum: General
Hi everybody.
I have a big problem, when i make a report that have multiple data sources the performance decrease considerably, i still don't know the reason. Is it true that using multiple data sources is too slow?.
I tell you a fact: I made the report connecting via "Field Definition File", and it take at least 2 minutes to show itself but it only have 170 records, and i'm very sure that the sql statements to each data source were executed very faster.
I even heard about index, but i think they only are useful when i connect directly to the database.
All my partner told me, that Cristal Report
Thanks you in advance

Thanks you, but I explain better what i was doing.
I've made a report called "Kardex de Producto" which show the behavior of the products according to its sales, purchases.
The end result which is showed by the report is correct. I used three data source in the report, so links between each table is correct. The only problem i have is the performance because i still don't know why is too slow. In fact the sql statement is very heavy, but i think it doesn't matter to the report because when it takes the data from the database (connecting via Field Definition File) even if the very heavy sql statement returns twenty record Cristal Report must show itself very quickly. I don't want to believe that Cristal Report is very slow when it works with multiple data sources.
Do you mind if i give you my report? if not please leave me your email address.

Report Viewer and Multiple Data Sources

I know that it is possible to create a report in Crystal Reports using multiple data sources. But is it possible to use just the Free Report Viewer to view a report with Multiple Data Sources?
Our company uses Crystal Reports XI. I do not use the program myself, I am in the IT Department. I have limited knowledge of Crystal and do not do any of the report writing.
If this is possible, and if someone could help me out with what would need to be done, or point me in the right direction of a Knowledge Base or Help Topic that explains this, that would be great.
Thanks.

I believe it can but both data sources need to be set up. Ask a report designer to help you use the Designer to test this and see what is required.
