Oracle BAM sample questions

I dont have much documentation about this tool, but I have some questions that I really need to adress for my project:
1. There is a way to connect Oracle BAM to a database and execute SQL to join tables and something like that? My BAM will directly conect to Oracle for dashboards and its really important.
2. How to link a report directly to browser without need of autentication? I need a sample URL for visualization and no need of session control because it will be used 24 hours opened in a monitor...
Thanks a lot

Hi experts
I'm following a guide to the integration between ODI & BAM, on page 18 refers to the KMs to import.
These KMs do not see available (either on the CD odi_companion).
You could say that KM are using and where did you get?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bam/technote-bam-odi-installation-132338.pdf
Use import type Duplication
Choose these KMs:
CKM Get Oracle BAM Metadata
CKM Oracle
IKM SQL to BAM (delete)
IKM SQL to BAM (insert)
IKM SQL to BAM (looksert natural)
IKM SQL to BAM (looksert surrogate)
IKM SQL to BAM (update)
IKM SQL to BAM (upsert)
IKM SQL Control Append
LKM Get Source Metadata
LKM Oracle BAM to SQL
LKM SQL to Oracle
RKM Oracle BAM
Best regards.

Oracle BAM Authentication Question

We are facing a strange problem related to Oracle BAM authentication and I'd like to ask for opinions or suggestions.
- We have a BAM Server called MYSERVER
- MYSERVER is a Win2003 and BAM was installed using MYSERVER\Administrator account
- We have a domain called MYDOMAIN
- MYSERVER is part of domain MYDOMAIN and this domain is registered in MYSERVER as a trusted domain.
- We have four user groups created in domain, not in bam server:
1) MYDOMAIN\bamAdmin
2) MYDOMAIN\bamArchitect
3) MYDOMAIN\bamDesigner
2) MYDOMAIN\bamUser
- In Windows 2003 we added the following users to the groups below:
user MYDOMAIN\adm was added to group MYDOMAIN\bamAdmin
user MYDOMAIN\arch was added to group MYDOMAIN\bamArchitect
user MYDOMAIN\des was added to group MYDOMAIN\bamDesigner
user MYDOMAIN\usr was added to group MYDOMAIN\bamUser
- In Administrator>Login Management
We didn't create login for users, only groups just described:
MYDOMAIN\bamAdmin
MYDOMAIN\bamArchitect
MYDOMAIN\bamDesigner
MYDOMAIN\bamUser
- In Administrator>Roles Management
We selected each Role and added the following groups
Administrator > MYDOMAIN\bamAdmin
Report Architect > MYDOMAIN\bamArchitect
Report Creator > MYDOMAIN\bamDesigner
Report Viewer > MYDOMAIN\bamUser
- After that, we return to Administrator > Login Management to review groups
There is an yellow question mark indicating bam cannot validate this login in domain controller.
This login is not currently known to be a valid login.
We click in one of the described groups, such as
MYDOMAIN\bamUser
And then in "View Roles" link.
We receive the following message
ADC Server exception in GetUserGroups(): 3.
Source: "ActiveDataCache" ID: "ADCServerException"
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
Source: "Oracle.BAM.Common.Core"
Sometimes we get: "Network path not found" and finally we get this message:
"The account used to run the Oracle BAM Active Data Cache does not have permission to retrieve the list of groups for this user. Contact your network administrator."
- If MYDOMAIN\usr that was added to group MYDOMAIN\bamUser try to access BAM Viewer module or bam home page (http://myserver/oracleBam), he receives the same error in welcome screen.
- User MYDOMAIN\usr can login to MYSERVER server in domain MYDOMAIN, so server recognizes the domain and user.
- In Windows NT Alert Viewer we have several errors/warnings registered, telling that BAM could not validate user/login and also "RPC Server Unavailable" errors.
- I tried changing ADC Service user credentials to MYDOMAIN\Administrator, but ADC Service didn't start anymore, so we have to reconfigure to MYSERVER\Administrator.
- In ADC Log we have several messages indicating BAM could not validate user:
2008-01-22 17:26:11,875 [User Validation Thread] WARN - ActiveDataCache Caught exception while validating user MYDOMAIN\usr: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
And when we changed credentials to MYDOMAIN\Administrator we got messages indicating bam stores some type of key/encrypt information by user who installed product (MYSERVER/Administrator):
2008-01-22 16:49:16,062 [1484] ERROR - ActiveDataCache DPAPI was unable to decrypt data. CryptUnprotectData failed. Error -2146893813: Key not valid for use in specified state.
Somebody may point us what could be wrong, perhaps a tip or doc about WINDOWS/BAM auth integration?
Metalink has few information about that, such as Note: 412555.1, but from network view it seems to be correct because we may log on MYDOMAIN\usr to MYSERVER successfully.
Bam could integrate to NT user authentication seamlessly, but it seems to me that it's harder and tricky than we thought.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Rogério

Hi,
Windows services running as local user can not do domain user authentication (even when machine is on that domain)
You will need to change ADC Service user credentials to MYDOMAIN\Administrator. If you just do this only in services, service wont start because the database passwords in config files are encrypted as original user and can not be decrypted by new user.
See "Working with Post-Install Password Changes and Password Expiration Policies" in the BAM Install Guide (In chapter 3 under Additional Configuration Settings) to change the config files. And also add MYSERVER\Administrator to BAM Administrator group before change.
The easiest may be to just reinstall as user MYDOMAIN\Administrator.
Thanks

Differences between Oracle BAM and Oracle BI and Question BAM Data Objects

Hi,
I have two questions.
1. Can someone tell me differences between Oracle BAM and Oracle BI?
My understanding about Oracle BAM is, we use BAM to build Dashboards or Reports.
We can also build DashBoards or reports using Oracle BI.
I am not able to understand why Oracle has two tools for same purpose?
Which tool is more powerful and user friendly(Oracle BI or Oracle BAM)?
2. Every time we plan to develop Dashboard or report in BAM, we need to create BAM ADC Data Object to store Data (i.e first step is to get data from external database or application and second step is to store data in BAM ADC data object).
My understanding is we have an extra step(i.e creating Data Object) in Oracle BAM to develop a report or DashBoard
I am wrong pl correct me?

Oracle BAM 11g - Deployments and development questions

Hi!
I have few questions related to Oracle BAM 11g developement and deployment processes. We are going to use that together with Oracle SOA Suite 11g ( BPEL / BPM processes), and now my questions are related to development phase:
1. If we have two or more Oracle BAM developers with their own Oracle BAM server instances, and we would like to share our development work, should/can we you same database repository to share the reports, data objects?
2. How we can copy Oracle BAM Data Objects, Reports etc from one environment (dev) to other environments (test, accept test, integration test, production) ? In software deployment projects (like Spring or Grails web-projects) we have used version control system and CI to build packages to different environments etc. How is the Oracle BAM deployment process actually "planned to be" since it uses its database repository to store objects and reports ?
3. The Oracle BAM itself has nice reports etc (Oracle BAM Client) that can be used using IE browser. How if we have to show/include those reports from Oracle WebCenter Spaces ? Is it possible and how?

Hi,
Were you able to find the answer to your questions? Especially the one, showing BAM reports in Webcenter Spaces?

Oracle BAM Web Applications not supported by Firefox and Chrome browsers

Hi,
1) To enable Oracle BAM in a BPM project, when a project data object is marked as a business indicator, the Process Engine stores
its value in the BAM and DataMart databases, as explained in the documentation. So, How can we use this information to monitor the process activity? Is there any detailed documentation or a sample?
2) Does Oracle BAM Web Applications still not supported by the browsers Firefox (3.5 and 3.6) and Google Chrome?
Tahnks. Regards,
Hanine

Hanine,
The business indicators can be used when creating your data objects in BAM Architect and BAM Active Studio.
The BAM tools still require Internet Explorer only.

Oracle BAM –ODI Integration Installation

Hi,
I am new here in BAM and need to do the fresh installation of BAM in Linux. In my search I have found this document <http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/11g/technotes11g/technote_bam-odi_installation.pdf > which actually tells us about the ODI integration with BAM, so could anyone help me the difference about ODI & BAM and is ODI a mandatory requirement for BAM installation in Linux?
Can anyone guide me the high level steps for BAM -linux installation and if there is any document with the detailed steps ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sam

Hi Payal,
Thx a lot for your quick response!!! Yes for now I would only need to install BAM with WLS and I am trying to open that oracle link to understand the complete steps but no luck, seems none of the link is working at my end or taking long time/stuck:- <http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/soa.htm>.
The mentioned steps is for Oracle BAM with Linux ? I am still doing my research on this but in the meanwhile if you could pls help me with more detailed instructions on this for ex:-
Install DB ---- which version of Oracle DB shall I install for 10.3 wls, any other pre-requisites before installing DB or etc.?
Run RCU .--- what is this ?
Select BAM schema to install. ------- From where ?
It will auto select the pre-requisites.
install WLS
unzip and install soa extension ----- from where would I get this zipped file?
run config wizard.
Select BAM and FMW console -- what is FMW console ?
Sorry as I very new to this, my questions may not be very appropriate. Please let me know if I am wrong anywhere. And also if we have any other links/document for complete installation of BAM w/h Linux as I found many documents for windows but none for linux.
Regards
Sam

Feeding oracle BAM through MQ -Error.

Am getting this error while clicking update button in Design Studio to populate a dataobject using JMS Topic messages sent by oracle BPEL manager.

If you can provide any document how oracle BPEL process manager use JMS topic to send message to Oracle BAM and display in reports.
Thanks in advance

Anirudh,
Thanks for the reply.I did configure the EMS in BAM for JMS and IBM MQ.I am trying to push data through S
ensors into topic to BAM.
My question is ...
1.Does 10.1.3.3 BPEL and BAM support IBM MQ ?
2.Do we need any additonal changes on the BPEL side or Weblogic side other than jms.xml and entry in weblogic-ra.xml?
3.Do we need to create EMS for both IBM MQ and also JMS data source.If yes do we need to use JMS data source in the Enterprise link design studio and not IBM MQ ?
4.Do we need to use the topic name and topic connection factory in the sensor action in BPEL code ?or Create an queue and need to route data thorugh it ?The order booking tutorial says we can use the topic directly ?
If we try to run the plan in Enterprise link using JMS data source ,I am getting following error.
IMessageSourceReceiver->messageReceive: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Disconnected

Is it required to specify the domain name while installing Oracle Bam

Hi all,
I am trying to install Oracle BAM. Is it neccessary to specify domain while configuring services location.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your descryption, In windows 7, the tool is migwiz.exe, namely the Windows Easy Transfer, you can modify the registry in the way listed in the post below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bbf5890c-b3d7-4b38-83d8-d9a5e025fb2b/how-to-move-clientside-caching-to-a-new-location?forum=w7itproinstall
In Windows 8, Windows easy transfer is also a built in tool to migrate user profiles and user settings, but as for the offline transfer, I suggest to use the USMT for your situation.
Because with USMT you can specify the folder that you want to migrate the files to, by using an offline.xml you can set the path just as the sample listed below:
<offline>
     <winDir>
          <path>C:\Windows</path>
          <path>D:\Windows</path>
          <path>E:\</path>
     </winDir>
     <failOnMultipleWinDir>1</failOnMultipleWinDir>
</offline>

Hi,
I installed BAM (with Enterprise Link); working on Tutorial #5; I need to execute "Simulate Events" to push JSM events. Problem is I do not find C:\~\BAM\Samples\SimulateJMSEvents directory; under the BAM install I do not find any of these directories; do I have to install something else; what did I miss?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Cannot install Oracle BAM with Oracle XE 10.2.0.1

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle BAM 10.1.3.3.0 on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. I've previously installed Oracle DB XE edition (10.2.0.1.0) on another machine and checked all the software requirements.
I have no problem with the first installation step regarding Oracle Client for BAM. When relaunching setup.exe for installing the other components, I have the following error : "Database version at parameter#1, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1521 should be 9.2.0.7 or higher, 10.1.0.5 or higher, 10.2.0.2 or higher."
However, according to the installation's guide:
"Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) version 10.2.0.1.0 may
be used for non-production purposes. See the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition
Web site for more information "
So here is my question: Is Oracle BAM 10.1.3.3.0 really compatible with Oracle XE?
If so, any suggestions to resolve this issue will be most appreciated!
Thanks.

No Oracle XE is not compatible due to its version. Oracle BAM need 10.2.0.2 or higher as it comes in the POP Up while installation.
I also faced the same issue. Unfortuntely I could not find any version upgrade also for Oracle XE.
I hope this help!

Is there any tutorial on Oracle BAM?

for best insight in shortest terms...

Sergey G.

Yes, there is one sample on Oracle BAM. Which help you to learn various Oracle BAM features based on the BPEL OrderBooking tutorial. It includes an OrderBooking simulator plan that automatically generates data to create a real-time data simulation for the dashboard reports.
You can download the same from here:

Sample questions

Hi Harold and Brian
I would like to know if it is possible to use your samples questions (i.e. http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/sample_questions/exam_1Z0_046.html) in my next official publications. Would like also to know if we can just write a book about a Oracle certification or shall we also ask Oracle before the book hits the streets?
Who shall I ask before using those questions please? What kind of authorization shall I request?
Thanks.

Hi Aman
Thanks for your question, it is about the Oracle under Linux OCE? I'm working hard to get the chapters written in a new format with Q&A, exercices. Hopefully will be printed next year, after I delivery all the 15 chapters.
unfortunately my co-author was supposed to furnish some chapters dropped the project (besides that he didn't wrote a word for that book) so therefore will the writing / editing take longer time than expected.
I'll keep you informed.

Just started working in Oracle BAM. I opened exisiting reports that came with the installation. Now when I click on Edit View -> "Data" button in the "View" Editor of an existing report ; the following tabs shld be displayed as per the BAM user guide : DataObjects, Fields, Filter, Drilling ...etc .
But none of the tabs are comming in the browser. In fact 7 empty tabs are dispalyed and are disabled.
When I click on "Properties" in the "View" editor ; all the tabs are comming and I can click on the tabs and edit the properties. But the tabs under "Data" option is not working.
I have deployed SOA suite 11.1.1.3 on wls 10.1.3. I am using IE 7. Any pointers will be helpful!!
Thanks
