Olap Excel Plug-in Security?

How does the OLAP Excel plug-in handle security? Does it require database level accounts, or can it use applications-mode security, similar to what presenting an OLAP AW Workspace through an apps-mode Drake EUL would do? We have users that potentially would like to use this, but I'm concerned about having to maintain database level accounts for them that bypass the applications (11i) security.

Bummer - but that's what I thought - hence why I would want to encourage drake/discoverer access.
Any plans in the future have the excel plug use apps security (similar to Web ADI) if the AW workspaces are built within an apps environment?

BI Excel Plug in Issue( Object reference not set to an instance of an object)

Hi all,
Im having one report that contains 2 table views and permission of that report is BI author role and Bi administrator role.
Im(administrator) running that report in BI excel Plug in.
Im getting the below error.
Failed to insert Oracle BI view.Object reference not set to an instance of an object
what is the meaning of that error ,if any one having any ideas ,please help me on this issue.
regards,
Bharath

Sorry for the delay on this one. Let me know if you are still seeing this and I will see if we can get more diagnostic info somehow.
That error is basically an exception fault. It means a bug or a misconfiguration of Oracle Developer Tools. Can you try to reinstall ODT and see if you notice any unusual errors during install.. and see if a reinstall fixes the problem?

Saving to PDF using VBA in Excel 2007 using security features such as password and print restriction

Good Afternoon,
I am wondering if there is a way to implement the security features such as password and print restriction while saving a document to PDF using VBA in Excel 2007.
Regards,
Steve

Bill,
Thank you. I was able to find the security setting section. The problem I have now, however, is writing the VBA to save to PDF and incorporate the security settings. I thought if i applied the settings to the Excel document I was working on it would carry over, but this does not seem to be the case. Any idea's?

Flash Plug-in security updates

When there is a critical security patch update, I always see a link to download the latest Flash Player security update. But I do not see any specific link to security updates for Flash Player Plug-in for Other Browsers. Why is that? Does Flash Player security update download cover both the Active-X (IE) and Plug-in (Firefox and other browsers)? Perhaps I do not understand how Flash Player is related to the Active-X version and the Plug-in version. Thanks.

It's because the web page detects the browser being used and therefore displays the appropriate download. If you want to see what a website detects when you visit a page, go to this site: http://whatsmyuseragent.com/
I think it's fair to say that users of other browsers don't use IE very much. You still need it to go to the Windows Update site if you use Windows XP, but Vista/7 can update via Control Panel, so IE is superfluous in that environment. I still haven't installed Flash in IE myself yet.
Here's the latest Adobe bulletin for the Flash vulnerability in case it helps: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb12-05.html
And here's some background info for you: http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Adobe-updates-Flash-Player-closing-more-critica l-holes-1464247.html

Webi against OLAP Cubes and rowlevel security

Hi all
Running XI3.1, SP4. Windows
We are trying to create universes on top of OLAP cubes made in MSAS 2008, and take advantage of the rowlevel-structure that exist on the cube side.
When running a WEBI-report against the cubeuniverse, the current user logged in from InfoView should be passed to the MSAS cube. Different users will then get different results. This is our goal!!!
It works in Voyager, which runs directly at the cubes.
But is this possible, via WEBI and universes. Has anyone done this??
When creating the connection, the Authentication mode="Use SSO when refreshing the reports at runtime", looks promising.
But i get a error message, stating "DBD: Unknown error has occured when determining the ODBO connection credentials"
All inputs are appreciated
/Björn

Hi all
We have configured the BOservers with SSO, using AD-Kerberos (using Tim Ziembas whitepapers). So we are using authentication=WindowsAD.
It works perfectly for the end-users. They hit the INFOVIEW-url and they dont need no password.
The thing that we want to acheive, is to connect to MSAnalysisServer2008, with Designer. I want to create a universe on top of MSAS OLAP-cubes, and take advantage of the rowlevel-security that has been implemented in the CUBE-server.
When creating a connection in Designer using MSAS2008 OLEDB for OLAP Provider, there is the Authentication mode-dropdown. The second alternative "Use single-sign-on when refreshing..." gives the error-message "DBD: Unknown error has occured when determining the ODBO connection credentials".
I dont know if this is a bug, or if when using middleware MSAS2008 OLEDB for OLAP Provider in combination with Authentication mode="Use single-sign-on when refreshing.." it isnt supposed to work. From the Designer documentation it should work.
We have tested this for Voyager, which connects directly to the cubes. It works in Voyager. the connection "feeds" the cubesystem with the user currently logged on to InfoView, and gives the correct rowlevel-restriction.
We want to acheive the same thing with Webintelligence.

Excel 2007 and Security warning

i am generating excel version of a report and it is working ok in 2003
Now when we went to excel 2007
i get a warning message
"The file you are trying to open, '[filename]', 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?"
(Yes | No | Help)
if(showExcel) {
//response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setContentType("application/csv");
//response.setContentType("application/excel"); -- did not recognize mime-type
This is the code i used where the MIME type is set. last one didnt work.
CSV says unknown file type with a popup (Find,Save, Cancel)
Can anyone please let me know how to solve this? This is a java application.

You're apparently fooling Excel with a wrong content type as opposed to the actual content.
What's the actual content? A plain HTML table? A real CSV file? A real XLS file?
If a HTML table, don't do that. Stop fooling the browser and Excel. Use real CSV or XLS format.
If real CSV, just ensure that the format is correct according RFC 4180 spec.
If real XLS (binary stream obtained from a 3rd party library such as Apache POI HSSF), use content type "application/vnd.ms-excel".

You can create a login screen (store the login credentials in some source file eg csv ) and hide and show other relevant components according to the login. As the login screen is the first screen authentication is must to proceed.

Specific courses on OLAP and oracle security

sir
can anyone specify on specific courses and book(s) on OLAP and oracle db security?
thanx in advance

OLAP: Depends entirely on what you want to accomplish - basics, tools, migrating data to, etc.
I teach and recommend "Oracle Database 10g: Using OLAP (Data Warehousing and Oracle BI)" as a starter. Other stuff, go to http://education.oracle.com , enter 'OLAP' into the Search box and hit 'Go' button.
Database Security: Depends entirely on what you want to accomplish, but I find Oracle University course offerings lacking in this area. (I really wish May Ann Davidson would do something about that, and I'd love to help.)
The OCP Admin I and Admin II course each have a chapter discussing Security. I think these are rather simplistic for the commercial world, but most OCP candidates I see get stymied by even that level.
The "Oracle Database 10g: Security Release 2" course is a reasonably good starting point, but few offer it. (And yes, I teach that as well)

Unable to edit Excel file via WebDAV in IE

LS,
Aim
To be able to open an Excel file in Oracle Portal via IE for editing (ergo, if changed it needs to be saved in the same location where it resides = database)
What have we done so far
OraDAV has been implemented (basic manner), a pagegroup has been created in Oracle Portal for security, next we stored some Excel files for test purposes.
Opening and editing using Windows Explorer (when testing) works fine, but opening from browser (Internet Explorer) opens Excel-file in read-only mode!
Workaround
Create windows shortcuts to Excel files in the OraDAV Webfolder, shortcuts are then placed in a public Windows-share which is running on a workstation.
Accessing these shortcuts from both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer works fine then.
But...
Unfortunately, implementing a windows share on a server is considered to be not an option by the network security team, and it's also not an option to continue using a workstation for that purpose.
What does Metalink say (we created TAR for this)
CLARIFICATION
====================
This issue happens on WEBDAV.
Using=>Windows Explorer it works fine.
Using=>Internet Explorer it does not do as the customer aspected.
Webdav:
Using=>Windows Explorer
going to folder
http://<machine>:7778/dav_portal/.../QA1.XLS
double clicked QA1.XLS and this opens in Microsoft Excel.
After made modifications the file is saved correctly without any issue.
Using=>Internet Explorer
Calling the
URL:http://<machine>:7778/.../QA1.XLS
the file QA1.XLS opens within Internet Explorer the Microsoft Excel plugin.
Problem is it the file opened in read-only mode and when you click save it wants to save
in local drive.
ISSUE VERIFICATION
===================
Verified the issue by the OWC session.
RESEARCH
=========
TESTCASE
I have tested the same issue on 9.0.2.3 and 10.1.2 portal versions.
They are all behaving the same.
CAUSE DETERMINATION
====================
This is intended behaviour.
CAUSE JUSTIFICATION
====================
Details => http://www.webdav.org
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/PUBLISH_CONTMGMT/TECHNOTE_WEBDAV.HTML
What does Portal documentation say
Source: Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2 âTechnical Overview
An Oracle White Paper; April 2002; Page 17
=======================================================
Integrating with the desktop
File-type item content can also be published to the portal repository via the Webbased Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. Using a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer, a portal page group can be mapped as a Web Folder. Users can then simply drag and drop content, files, and folders between portal pages and the desktop. File-type items can also be opened, edited, and saved directly from WebDAV desktop applications like MS Office 2000.
Thus...
Even though Metalink is implying it is not possible, one would think it IS possible, since IE is also a valid WebDAV client.
Bottom line
Does anyone know how to set up Portal in combination with WebDAV to ensure editing of Excel files will happen via Internet Explorer AND changes will be saved back onto the original location
Thanks, Patrick

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?

christian

How do I view data from OLAP DML program or statement?

Hi
I'm struggling to find any information on this topic anywhere on the net:
How to view data produced by an Oracle OLAP DML program or statement.
Background :
I am using the latest AWM to create and maintain dimensions, cubes and measures. However, I've noticed that AWM, Discoverer OLAP, BI Beans, Excel Plug-In et al only provide a fixed set of formula and expressions.
For example, I wanted to created a Standard Deviation (STDEV) on measure. After much searching I learnt that I could do this by creating a custom measure in AWM by importing a measure defined in an XML dcoument as it's not provided by AWM. The output in Discoverer OLAP on the surface seems to give the correct results, however when drilling from high level to lower level of time time dimension hierarchy Discoverer includes the parent value in the calculation and renders the values incorrect.
My alternative is to use OLAP DML, as it provides a richer range of formuale and calculations possibilities and I was hoping to use this functionality to do create the measures. I have the distinct impression, however, that OLAP Worksheet is the only interface out there to do this.
It seems very primitive and limited with regards to data output, almost like SQL*Plus in many ways.
The burning questions I have are :
1) Do I need to write DML programs to perform these custom measure calculations and add them to cubes or do I import the custom measures via AWM and XML?
2) If the answer to question 1 is DML programming, is there a way of viewing the OLAP data output through a GUI interface without embedding the statements in SQL.
3) Has anyone experienced or noticed the same problem with Discoverer OLAP, AWM Viewer that I mentioned above? i,e, statistical functions performed on whole dimension hierarchy rather than lower levels.
I'm hoping someone out there knows what I am trying to do or get at. Keith, any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Greg

Hi Greg,
There are two ways to achieve what you want. Both require the use of custom calculations which cannot be created via the calculation wizard within AWM. To do this the easiest way is step outside of AWM and use the Excel Calculation utility that is on the OLAP OTN home page:
Creating OLAP Calculations using Excel
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/olap/SpreadsheetCalcs_10203.zip
Readme
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/OLAP_SpreadsheetCalcs.html
(Oracle OLAP DML Reference contains a list of all the OLAP functions that can be used to create a custom calculation. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/OLAP_DML_10.2.zip)
The Excel tool lets you assign your own formula to a measure and then uploads that measure definition into your AW. It is possible to import a custom calculation template into AWM using the menu option on the Calculated Measure node of each cube, but it is safer to use the Excel Worksheet as this directly uses the public XML API and is always best to use a public API rather than hacking XML templates.
There are two types of custom calculation:
1) Formula: using a formula you can directly call any of the OLAP functions. For example to create a measure that returns the standard deviation for a measure then you would enter the following as the formula for your calculated measure:
stddev(sales_revenue, time)
The easiest way to test if the measure is working as expected is to use the data viewer within AWM.
2) Programs - if the function you need is not provided or you want to do special processing to return a result you can create an OLAP DML program which can return a result. To do this use OLAP Worksheet to define the program and add a datatype to the DEFINE statement, such as :
DEFINE PRG_SD_SALES PROGRAM DECIMAL
In the program return the value you have calculated within your program. Within the program you can do just about anything but be aware that your program is going to fire for every cell within your virtual cube so it must be efficient and fast to execute. For a measure then you would enter the following as the formula for your calculated measure:
prg_sd_sales(time, products, geographies, channels).
The actual program code would look something like this:
DEFINE PRG_SD_REVENUE PROGRAM DECIMAL
PROGRAM
argument T_TIME TIME
argument T_PRODUCT PRODUCTS
argument T_GEOGRAPHY GEOGRAPHIES
argument T_CHANNEL CHANNELS
variable D_RETURN decimal
TEMPSTAT TIME, PRODUCTS, GEOGRAPHIES, CHANNELS
do
limit PRODUCTS to T_PRODUCT
limit CHANNELS to T_CHANNEL
limit GEOGRAPHIES to T_GEOGRAPHY
limit TIME to T_TIME
limit TIME add descendants using TIME_PARENTREL
limit TIME keep TIME_LEVELREL 'CAL_MONTH'
D_RETURN = stddev(SALES_REVENUE)
doend
return D_RETURN
END
This code computes a standard deviation the all months within the specified time range, at year level for all 12 months, at quarter level for the three months within the quarter ans returns NA at the month level.
As the code executes within a implicit loop you can only change the status fo dimensions that for part of that implicit by using the TEMPSTAT command. To test the program at the command line use the OLAP Worksheet and the SHOW command to just return one cell of data, DO NOT SIMPLY USE THE RPR COMMAND because you will have to wait for the whole cube to be returned. If you want to use the RPR command make sure you limit your base dimensions first! You can use PRGTRACE to debug your program code it is not working as expected. Again, the easiest way to test if the measure is working as expected is to use the data viewer within AWM, although this will not return debug information so send all your debug output to a file to capture any errors and/or trace the execution flow.
Hope this helps

Unable to edit sample reports in Excel

Hello,
I'm able to view sample reports from Business Intelligence Center when I browse from the PWA homepage, but when I hit "Open in Excel" I get the following error: "To open this workbook, your computer must have a version of Microsoft Excel installed
and your web browser must support opening files directly from Excel in your browser". If I go back to the sample reports page and use the drop down beside any sample report and select "Edit in Excel" and "Open", I get the following
error: "Microsoft Excel cannot access the file at ....ResourceCapacity.odc" followed by "Problems Obtaining Data" followed by "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).]SQLServer does not exist or access denied." Same thing
happens if I try to manually create a new data source through Excel. This happens for all sample reports, templates and data connections.
The weird part is that if I log onto the server (using the same AD credentials that I used for my laptop), open up PWA in a browser, go to Business Intelligence Center and try to edit any sample report, template or data connection in Excel, I have no issues.
Wouldn't that mean that Excel Services and Secure Store have been set up properly?
Wondering why no machine outside of the server can edit the reports etc...Any ideas?
Thanks,
André

Andre,
This is by design.
In Excel 2010/2013, the only way that the client can talk to the database is via an OLEDB connection. This requires direct read-only access and does not use Excel Services/Secure Store. If you are viewing the report via the web, then Secure Store/Excel Services
is used.
Because of the direct database access issue, you must be authenticated to the network before you can edit the reports. You would need to VPN into your network first. My chalk talk on this may be helpful.

I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
            "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
- I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
- in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.
If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.
Cheers

PLEASE HELP ME FIND A GOOD CAR PLUG FOR MY iPHONE

Alright guys, I have been through 3 different plugs to connect my iphone to my car to play music, and I am a bit ticked. So i figured I would ask the Apple Discussion Boards so you guys can tell me the best audio/charger combo for my iPhone. Here is what happened with each of my previous plugs...
The first one was just a regular ordinary headphone plug that plugged from my iphones headphone slot to my car's auxiliary slot. It worked for a while but then the audio only started coming out through the right side of my car speakers occasionally, and I know for sure it is not my car that made the problem because my radio and CD's play fine through both speakers.
The second one is a "Kensington LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod and iPhone". First off the remote that it came with didn't work properly. But here comes the worse part that is so annoying. This problem got progressively worse by the way.... a lot of times the plug would think that it unplugged itself for some strange reason and the music would stop as well as the charging, but then 1 millisecond later it would think it was plugged back in, and although it starts charging again, the music doesn't play again until I press play. Don't tell me to make sure it is plugged in securely because trust me my friends, I have tried everything possible to get this to work. Keep in mind I am driving...so it is a very bad idea to be messing with my phone to press the play again. And lately it has been getting so bad that I actually have to unplug the plug from my iphone and then plug it back in and press play, which is incredibly annoying. This happens about once a minute OR MORE now a days. Also, it makes a really annoying "whirrling" sound whenever I am using it. By the way, I even turned Airplane mode on, and the exact same problems still happened. So a summary of this: this audio/charger combo is a failure.
My 3rd plug I decided to try a normal headphone to aux plug again like the first except this time by a better brand, Griffin. But oh wait, the exact same problem happened that the first one had.
Ok guys, so what I really want for you to do for me is PLEASE HELP ME FIND A GOOD CAR PLUG FOR MY iPHONE.
Here is what I am looking for in my plug:
Plays music through my car's speakers AND charges at the same time;
I would prefer if it wasn't an FM transmitter because those tend to lose audio quality compared to direct plugins, unless you know of an amazing FM transmitter where you don't lose audio quality;
And finally, I want my plug to ACTUALLY WORK WITHOUT GLITCHES
Also, it would be nice if the plug that you refer to me, you actually own, so I know that you have tested it out before and that it works great.
Any HELP would be very much appreciated, thank you.

i thought about going the same route you did, but when I started looking at the prices of everything, I decided it was a better idea to just get a new stereo that can play and charge my iPhone.
After a lot of comparing, looking and price checking, I decided to go with the Alpine IDA-X100. This is a media player only device (no cd player built in) and it has been great. It has an awesome interface and dial setup that let's you go through your music just as if it were on an iPod. It even has a small color screen that displays the album artwork for you. My car has a factory BOSE system in it and the Alpine head unit even managed to improve the sound quality. Go see you local alpine dealer (or best buy) and check it out. The supplied cable charges the phone and plays music too. Your iPhone will give you an error message when you plug it in, saying that the accessory was not designed for iPhone, but if you just click no it works great.

REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY for Excel display

Hi Experts,
I am using FM 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' for ALV reports. In my system I am using Excel 97 version and I could see the output in excel format when I press Microsoft Excel (ctrlShiftF7). But my user is using version 2003. He couldn't see the data but only empty sheet.
How can I solve this..?
Regds,
Vinsa.R

The problem is with the Security settings of the Excel macro.
Go via this Menu in Excel - Tools>>Macro>>Security.
In your system it might be medium or low. But I guess ur client has set it to High or very high.
With this security setting the ALV_GRID wont be able to call the Excel functions for passing the data ranges. Ask him to change it to Medium and ur grid display will be able to show u the data.
