TIA,
Rodrigo I discovered that the OLAP Services can be installed in 9i4s
version for NT (I was using Linux). I read that it must be
installed using the Data Warehouse option. I don4t know if
its true, but I did it anyway.
I seems that OLAP in Oracle is organized this way:
1. 9i comes with basic OLAP capabilities based on Relational
OLAP (ROLAP)
2. To extend these functionalities to include Multidimensional
OLAP (MOLAP) features, you must install Oracle with the
Data Warehouse option. BUT, that4s the point of confusion,
MOLAP features came from an Oracle product known as Express
Server. I4m not sure, I seems that the Express Server was
a tool designed for NT and UNIX, and this UNIX means anything
but Linux!!!
The problem is: Oracle doesn4t say anything this solution!!!

I have exactly the same question...
Please reply to me also...
I know that the OLAP API comes with OLAP Services and should
be installed in $ORACLE_HOME/olap/olapi... But I can4t find
it on my machine!!! Oracle4s taxonomy and product organization
are very confusing!!!

I purchased the Oracle Enterprise DB CD pack from the Oracle Store.
The installation went fine but I don't have OLAP Services set up in my
DB. I tried to use the OLAP Services Instance Manager from within the
Oracle Enterprise Manager console. An error message said that I must
first install OLAP Services in my DB. I had no option to this from CD
setup, even if I did Custom install. Do I have to buy something else
from Oracle, and if so, how can I? I have not been able to find any
helpful information on technet.oracle.com . Does the Oracle Java OLAP
API come with OLAP Services?

CORBA instance for OLAP Services?

Hi All,
I am new to OLAP, and I am trying to use OLAP API over a data warehouse I've created for test. I am developping on the following environement:
- Windows 2000 Professional
- OLAP API
- Oracle 9.0.1
I am having a javax.naming.NamingNotFoundException. It seems that the OLAP Instance Manager does not have the right permission to create the CORBA Instance in the JVM, as you can see in the following piece of log:
     [598] OLAPI Interface - Cannot bind to folder context OLAPServer, creating....
     [598] OLAPI Interface - CORBA::NO_PERMISSION.
     [598] OLAPI Interface - Cannot create folder context OLAPServer.
     [598] OES Kernel - Remote Operations Interface resolution failed.
I've found a previous message in this forum that explain us how to create manually the /etc/OLAPServer instance to have access to OLAP Services through OLAP API, as shown here:
sess_sh -u sys -p change_on_install -service sess_iiop://YOUR-HOSTNAME:2481:SID
     mkdir /etc/OLAPServer
     chmod +rwx PUBLIC /etc/OLAPServer
I've done it and restarted the OLAP Instance. This time, the OLAP Instance Manager was able to create the CORBA Instance for OLAP Services, but in /etc/debugagent/OLAPServer (as seen in the OEM JVM), with the following URL for connecting to it through CORBA:
sess_iiop://YOUR-HOSTNAME:2481:SID/etc/OLAPServer/OLAPServer.
Does anyone know what is the problem? Is there a permission problem with the OLAP Instance Manager when it tries to create the CORBA instance in JVM?
Thanks a lot,
Mario

Hi Anthony,
First place, thank you for your help.
I4ve already applied those patches and the users you specified in the previous mail are unlocked and already have rwx permission.
I found really strange too when the /etc/OLAPServer instance was created under the debugagent context. I really don4t know what is going on?
Do you know something about problems on OLAP Services when you are working with brazilian portuguese language? I am asking this because I know a lot of people that have applied those patches and everything worked just nice, the only difference between our platform and their is the language.
Thanks again.
Mario

OLAP Services and Infobus -- can they work to interface with 3rd party tools?

I would like to link 9i OLAP data to 3rd party tools like Formula One or other Java Report Writers. Can this be done using infobus or other technologies? Does 9i OLAP services act as an infobus data provider?
Has anyone done this? If so can an example be provided?
Thanks

Thanks InfoBus is a Java standard for dynamic data interchange. The Oracle9i OLAP API does not act as an InfoBusDataProvider. It's compatible but not supported. Also, InfoBus has been determined not well suited for multidimensionality.
BI Beans actually has some code in its Query object to act as an InfoBusDataProvider, but it is hidden due to inadequate testing and review, plus there is a perception that there is a lack of strong interest in this feature.
So the short answer is that OLAP API and BI Beans do not provide InfoBus support. If there is a public outcry for InfoBus support, Oracle OLAP would consider it as a feature for a future release.
As for another technology to link Oracle9i OLAP data to 3rd party tools like Formula One or other Java Report Writers, I'll look into it and report back.

Error connecting to 9i Olap Services from JDev9i BI Beans - bug ?? (urgent)

I am using JDeveloper 9i Relase Candidate with BI Beans Pre-lease Add-in as client and Oracle 9i Database (9.0.1.0) running on HP-UX.
I patched Oracle 9i Database with the latest patchsets.
I haven't find any patches both for BI Beans and Olap Services Option on HP-UX 9i DB (there are patches only for Solaris and Windows versions but no patches for HP-UX Olap Services)
Olap services is running and OLAPServer context (and permisions) are set corretly (rwx rights on PUBLIC, OLAPDBA, OLAPSVR, SYS, etc.)
I have the following problem. When I try to connect to the Olap Services (running on HP-UX 64bit) from JDev 9i RC (Win NT) BI Beans Designer the Olap Services instances are found and then when I try to test (connect) connection to the chosen Olap Services Instance (which is running) I am getting the error that connection to the OLAP Services failed and I should check if it is running (and I know it is running). When I checked details I got following description :
1. BI-16601 error
and
2. Cannot locate IOR for OLAPServer
here are some details:
oracle.dss.connection.common.ConnectionException: BIB-16601 ....
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Cannot locate IOR for OLAPServer ..... etc.
I cannot also run Cube Viewer from Enterprise Manager. When I'm running it I'm getting a strange error window without any description (only error icon).
I also noticed the following message in OES (Olap services) log :
[ 1] 3 01/14/2002 15:24:10 OES Kernel - Remote Operations Interface resolution failed.
Is it possible to connect from BI Beans to the 9i running on HP-UX or maybe it is not even possible because there is no patches which allows to HP-UX 9i to work properly with JDev9i BI BEANS ??
Anyone can help me ???
Regards,
Aleksander Miler

As I know BIBEans needs a Patch in OLAP Services wich is not yet available (something like 9.0.2.x).
The patch's release date was "end of january" but I didn't find it.
Plase could Oracle inform us about the releae date ?

OLAP Service not started

I have Installed Oracle9i Enterprise Edition on a Win 2000 m/c. During the installation steps I choose the pre configured database type to be for data warehousing.
Installation was smooth without any errors. However I do not see any OLAP services running. Also I do not see any /bin folder under ORACLE_HOME/OLAP as refered in some of the forums discussion topics.
Can anybody help me out to get OLAP enabled.

We are going to need more information to figure this out. We will need to take a look at your logs. Here are the steps to create them:
Please change the path to fit into your environment.
- Set a SYSTEM environment variable
variable: OES_EA_STARTUP
value: -LogOutput=VDBG
- Reboot the PC
- Stop OLAP Agent if it's running
- Edit a registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
[Software\ORACLE\OLAP\ExpressServer\OLAPServer\I/O Management]
EventLogPath = (REG_SZ) "c:\oracle\ora90\olap\OLAPServer\log"
- Create the corresponding directory if there isn't.
- Rename the following log files for backup
%ORACLE_HOME%\olap\OLAPServer\log\OLAPService.log
%ORACLE_HOME%\olap\log\OLAPServicesAgent.log
- Make sure that Oracle and tnslistener service are running
- Make sure that you can connect as olapsvr/instance in sqlplus
- Start Oracle OLAP Agent from services applet
- Start OLAPServer from services applet
- The following two files will be generated.
%ORACLE_HOME%\olap\OLAPServer\log\OLAPService.log
%ORACLE_HOME%\olap\log\OLAPServicesAgent.log
Pleaser email me your logs. Thanks.

Access OLAP Services from C++ Builder

Hello,
I want to write an application, which is accessing OLAP Services (in Borland C++ Builder). Oracle OLAP Services provides only JAVA API, not C++.
What do You thing about my idea?
I think about writing my own tier - an Java application running on database machine. My application will comunicate with Java application by http or other protocol, pass and receive XML strings representing data retrieved and queries. Java application will use JAVA OLAP API to operate on OLAP Services.
Do You have other ideas?
Slawek

Hi Slawek,
I think this is a fine idea. It makes sense to define a simple interface between components that are written in different languages. XML seems like a good choice. You will have to be careful about the design of your XML schema to ensure that it can be generated and parsed efficiently for good performance.
You might want to think aboud a couple of architectural alternatives to writing your own middle tier:
1) You can install Java code in the RDBMS and run it in the embedded JVM. So you could load the layer that translates between your XML schema an OLAPI along with the OLAPI jar files into the RDBMS, and define a PL/SQL interface to call it. Then your C++ code could use OCI to call the PL/SQL interface. Because the XML strings could be lengthy, you might wish to use a CLOB rather than a simple string type in the interface.
2) You could use the Java Native Interface (JNI) to run your Java code in the process with your C++ code. Because you're only passing XML strings, the JNI interface should be straightforward. Then OLAPI would use JDBC to communicate with the RDBMS.

I need some help.

OK. First off, the D_DWH is correct in the referencing of your AW. The reference that you are seeing is the metadata manager definition of the analytic workspace. It appends the D_ by default.
An excerpt and some code from the online help...
Most classes that extend oracle.dss.metadataManager.common.MDObject are client-side representations of objects that exist in an analytic workspace. To find the analytic workspace name for an object, use the following methods of MDObject: isAWObject -- Determines whether an object is a logical representation of an analytic workspace data object getAWObjectName -- Retrieves the analytic workspace name for an object Example: Retrieving the analytic workspace name for an object The following code assumes that myObject is an existing MDObject. //Confirms that an MDObject is a logical representation of
//an analytic workspace object and then prints the object's name.
public void printAWObjectName (MDObject myObject)
if (myObject.isAWObject())
system.out.println ("AWObjectName = " +
myObject.getAWObjectName());
That being said, here is the trick to verifying the internal metadata name for the AW objects.
Knowing this, I'm going to guess that naming your dimension D_TIME may not be the best idea as this may confuse the MDM. Rename the dimension and give it another shot.

Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error:Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials

Hello All,
I am getting following error, when trying to expand essbase from calculation manager, "Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error:Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials",
I am using EPM 11.1.2.1
Thanks
Yash

If you have moved the server to a new data center and an issue has started occurring then it could point to the change.
Are you able to log into essbase directly with Maxl using the same account?
If you run a registry report do you see any of the configuration with IPs instead of DNS/hostname
Cheers

I can't start OLAP Service from OEM 9.0.2

I don't know how start Olap Service from OEM 9.0.2. Please tell me how to do this! May be somebody will send me letter. [email protected]

Yes.
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
Here is a video I made that steps through this...
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Starting the OLAP Services

Hi,
I don't have much luck in getting the OLAP Service started when I'm evaluating the product (9.0.1.0.0) on Solaris.
When I tried to connect to the OLAP Service Instance Manager from OEM, I got the XPINSMGR-10565 error. And when I tried to start the olap service using the "olap start" command I spotted the error "OES_REQUEST, read fail, error 11" (after setting up the TCP Connection) at the end of the OLAPServicesAgent.log
Is there any document that list out all the procedures/guidelines on making OLAP works? The existing ones doesn't seem to be enough when a problem occurs and I can't find much help online probably because the product is fairly new.
Thanks.

In order to test the cube viewer I created a 3-dimension fact table (with only 20 entries) with a normalized snowflake schema. The cube viewer works fine without the materialized view generated but I did encounter a little problem with the Summary Advisor. I was prompted by the error 'expection VdbSQLException{wstring reason="ORA-30466: can not find the specified workload............' followed by a bunch of error messages when I used the Wizard to create the materialized views. Can you please help?
Thanks,
Roy.
Try refreshing the Materialized Views by clicking the Analyze button on the General tab within OEM. It may be stale.

I can't connect a Bi Bean with an Olap Service

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition (9.0.1.1.1), Oracle 9i BiBeans release Candidate 9.0.2.4.0 Beta and Oracle 9i JDeveloper 9.0.2 at the same platform.
When I execute the JDeveloper and I try to create a new Business Intelligence Beans in a java project, the BI Designer assistant is launched, but in the step where I have to select the OLAP service, the Olap Connection Wizard can't be invoked, could you explain me why it happen? Because, when I take a look at the olap service, it is up.
Also, when I installed the BiBeans I followed the steps of the installation guide but I had a problem, I can't execute the bi_installcatalog and I got the following message: "The system can't find the path", is it necessary to be executed to create a BI Bean?
I'll hope you can help me about it.
Thank you very much.
Gisella Linares

Hi,
I have had similar problems on my machine. I found the best solution (I think because I have a dynamic IP address for my machine?) is to use 'localhost' as the host name in the 'Connection' tab. Also the SID should be the database SID as per your LISTENER.ORA file. Then it should all work. Are there any messages in the STATUS window when you try to select and OLAP server instance?
The installation of the catalog is only required if you want to store your presentations in the database (i.e. so you can share them with other database users). The error with the installation I expect is due to an error with two class files. CLASSES12.JAR and NLS_CHARSET12.JAR. These need to be replaced with the sames files located in the RDBMS 901 home directory. The installation notes explain which files you need to edit to point JDev to the new files. The quickest way to test this is to rename the files in the JDev Home/jdbc/lib directory to .old and replace them with the files from the Oracle 901 home directory.
Hope this helps.

Where is olap service?

dose oracle9i for linux include olap service?
if yes, where can I download it for test?

Hi Elad,
As per you ques <When I'm looking for this service in business service list I'm not found any service with this name>
Make sure if you are using the business service or business system?
For both the cases you can find it in ID as given below:
Under TAB Objects -
> Service Without Prty -
> Business System/Business Service
Once you find it (service/sysem) you can delete the CC from it by right clicking on CC & pressing Delete option.

Failure to connect to OLAP service

I have installed Oracle 9i Release 2(9.2.0.6) along with
Spreadsheet add in.My aim is to access Oracle OLAP data from Microsoft Excel. While installing the database i chose the Data Warehousing type of installation. The add in has appeared in the excel menu but while connecting it shows an error FAILURE TO CONNECT TO OLAP SERVICE. On seeing the detailed error message it said something like
oracle.express.ExpressServerExceptionError class: OLAPI
Server error descriptions:
INI: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
in function: TxsRdbSelectStatement:execute(), Generic at TxsOqConnection::getDefaultDatabase".
I get the same error when i log on using the OLAPSYS,SYSTEM logins.
On checking the Services in administrative tools(my machine is a Windows 2003 Server) i did not find any service called OLAP service or OLAP agent. Could this be the reason for my problem? If so what should i do to install it? However in the Enterprise manager, i have a option called OLAP under Warehouse under which i can see couple of sample cubes(COST_CUBE & SALES_CUBE). Also do i need to run any patches for this, if so can u give me the exact patch numbers for it and also where i can get it. And can u also highlight me on which login to use for accessing Oracle OLAP data through Microsoft excel.
Would be really grateful if you could give me a solution as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards,
Shravan.

The SH user is not designed to be used in this context. You need to install the sample schemas that I outlined above or create your own OLAP schema using Analytic Workspace Manager or Oracle Warehouse Builder.
Thanks
